Professional basketball players have all the money to burn. And you can bet that among their list of needs would be a lush car to have in their grasps. But for Los Angeles Lakers center Andrew Bynum, getting a 2010 Chevrolet Camaro is not enough. In fact, this car buff went to the trouble of customizing it to look like BumbleBee of the Transformers movie fame.

How did he do it? Simple. Bynum just bought a customized body kit and had a yellow paint job and placed some black racing stripes down the car’s hood. So where else would Bynum get the idea other than from the movie where it was the star of the flick? And though it wasn’t mentioned, it is pretty obvious that Bynum is a fanatic of the Transfomers movie!

Not that they will really transform or walk around the Chicago Auto show, the new cast of cars from General Motors that will be appearing in the Transformers’ sequel “Revenge of the Fallen” will be gracing the festivities. And heading the list is the “Bumblebee” Camaro which many would recall as the last car form that Bumblebee turned into.

Joining the orange Camaro in Chicago will be other characters from the film in their car forms. New additions to the sequel brandishing a GM badge include a 2010 Chevy Volt called Jolt, a Chevy Spark called Skids and a Trax concept called Mudflat (together known as the Twins), and a character called Sideswipe based on the still-yet-to-be-revealed Corvette Centennial Concept.

GM didn’t specify in its press release (included after the jump) which characters are accompanying Bumblebee to Chicago, but the venue at McCormick Place is one of the largest exposition centers in the world, so the more Transformers the merrier.
