The most sad part about this entire thing with them copying his car is that for everyone that says you cannot control what you put out there on the net....they can.

What they will do is copyright Bumblebee. They will copyright that car so that nobody else can use it. Then they will use THEIR copyrighted material and make bedsheets, toys, t-shirts and whatever else they can to milk every dollar out of it. They will aggressively go after anyone or anything that resembles their copyrighted material.

So in a sense, they stole his car. They will profit off of his idea, his vision and they will profit large. The look that he put together will now become their look. That is what is wrong with them taking it. It doesn't matter that people have done modifications on old Camaros before or who did what, when and how. They will own it. They will own his car.....along with about 434141 other Camaro owners that will do horrible copies of it who would never have done it before the movie. And then they will all tell him he copied Bumblebee.

It's just a sad situation.
