Said vehicle is to celebrate GM's 100th birthday and more details may be revealed before Revenge of the Fallen comes out.

If things could get any more tricky for Michael Bay and the cast/crew of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, Shia LaBeouf may require amputation on his left pinkie finger due to the damages incurred from his car accident on July 27.
