It seems that the General Motors is trying to up it's brand by 'sponsoring' some of the Autobot's.

First we had the news that Bumblebee has become a Chevy Camero concept, he was a Beetle for feck sakes! hence the name!

Then there was Brawl, he is now a Ford Mustang! and to add insult to injury, poor Ratchet will be a Hummer!

Now I'm not sure about those three , but the last is the best, Jazz will not be the Martini Porsche 935 race car, instead he will be a Pontiac Solstice, the car is not even worthy to be said in the same sentence as the Porsche!

I don't get it, and all though really looking forward to the movie, may not bother to go and watch it purely because of this product placement fiasco!

Leave them alone, GM, please get bought before the movie is finalised, so we can have the real cars back again! Either that or VW/Porsche stump some money up for the product placements!

Have a look over on AIKN for what the fanboys reckon.

Here's some before and after's

Peter Cullen was announced yesterday at Comic-Con as the voice for Optimus Prime.

Peter Cullen was of course the original voice for the Autobot leader, and he return fo rthe feature is good news. Now all we need is the voice of Megatron to be finalised (Frank Welker is still rumoured).

Oh and if you have not seen it, head over to the official site and have a look at the teaser trailer.
