This much we know. Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen will have some sort of Corvette concept portraying one of the Autobots. We also now know that there's at least two (http://www.autoblog.com/photos/transformers-2-corvette-on-set/926911/) movie cars, as you can see in the shot above. Do we officially know that these are Corvettes of some sort? No , but the fender shapes and the port aft of the front wheel are familial styling cues that seal the deal. We're dying to know if this is just a movie creation or a concept that's in the pipeline to be revealed publicly at some future time. And if this forecasts what we should expect in terms of a C7, well, we're okay with that, too.

Also snagged in this photo set: the Chevy Beat and Trax, a military-style dune buggy, a pair of Can-Am Spyders, Optimus Prime, and Ratchet. Thanks, Andrew!

If it is a transformer, it should be named "ugleecon"

If it's a vette concept, it'll fit in with the mid 60's-70's concepts that were quite wild and outlandish...of all the vette concepts, only the mako shark reasonably and accurately portrayed what would come to pass.
