Did Transformers 4 Rip Off This Guy’s Design For The New Bumblebee?

[Megatron]

For me, the interesting thing about this article is not so much the ethical or legal implications of Mr Vengeance's Camaro design being stolen, or whether it actually was stolen (which is an interesting topic in itself no doubt), but rather, if this car was indeed the inspiration for TF4 Bumblebee, 1. Would Hasbro/Paramount, etc. ever admit to it, and 2. it would be nice if they did.
