GAH! Is all I could think when I saw it, but during fliming of Transformers 3 in Washington DC, the highly customized Chevy Camaro Bumblebee crashed into a cop who blew through a scene going the wrong way right as the troops were “rolling out”! Just watch for yourself:

"The incident" has made the big time: FAILBlog

On the contrary, the car performed exactly how it was designed. The crumple zones in front worked perfectly, and the engine was crushed and forced under the vehicle like it should as well. It's designed to absorb the impact that way to protect the occupants of the car.
I'm glad it wasn't the new Ferrari that got hit. The Camaro can be easily replaced, the Ferrari, not so much. Look at this vid starting at 2:10, and look closely after that. It looks like the red Ferrari was right behind BB in the crash:

oh man… soo crazy. that car definitely is not good for crashes but maybe the inside is safer. the whole engine just completely smashed…
Spoiler
I am getting rather curious of that Datsun…maybe a disguise for the times? There is no telling what the hell they have planning. I guess we can only wait and see. If we get a figure of that Datsun that looks like Bee..than we know!

Well he sort of had to do that, his main actor had a serious injury. it would have looked goofy to ignore that.

Thank God Bay's not making the same mistake like in ROTF where he wrote in Sam's broken hand.

BTW, they're shutting down filming as we speak. The rain killed their plans and the sets are being torn down.

LOL- I had in mind Bumblebee getting his voice fixed, everyone congratulating him, Prime shouting "ROLL OUT!!!" and SMASH.
"His voice has been damaged…."
