The Chevrolet Camaro is one of the most recognisable vehicles from the Transformers movie franchise. The Autobot Bumblebee Transformer character is so popular that it now has its own spin-off movie. There have been four Camaros and a concept version in the five movies playing Bumblebee, which will now be auctioned off at Barrett-Jackson, Scottsdale, Arizona, later this month to raise money for charity.

The Movie franchise definitely gave the Camaro a shot in the arm with worldwide publicity, with Chevrolet even introducing their own bumblebee edition of the Camaro. The first Transformers movie featured a Camaro concept vehicle, as Chevrolet were gearing up to produce a model for 2009. The Bumblebee Camaro had some minor updates for the second instalment movie, rolling on to a 2010 Camaro which was featured in the third movie, Transformers: Dark of the Moon.

Transformers: Age of Extinction brought in a 2013 Camaro with design upgrades such as an upgraded front-end and rear fascia with slimmer headlights. The latest instalment, Transformers: The Last Knight released in 2016 preview the sixth generation Camaro, with a much more wild design and external features.

The four vehicles will be auctioned as a collection, with all proceeds going to Operation Homefront, a non-profit organisation to help military families. Unfortunately each car has a scrap title, which means they are not street legal, but this may not be as big a problem as it sounds as the vehicles will probably spend the majority of their lives as display pieces.

Find out more about the vehicles on the Barrett Jackson website.
