As far as I can tell, there are no buses in any Transformers series.

Motormaster would make a decent bus, but he's too expensive to repaint.

You mean something like this?

Found this over at Livedoor.
A bus would be quite cool, I don't think it's cool enough for Hasbro to do it though...

Bass fish

Starfish
Jellyfish
Whale

I'd really like for Transformers to go back to the original formula "Robots In disguise" none of this futuristic crap. Unfortunately from what we've read about heroes, it doesn't sound like they'll be going back to basics anytime soon...

If I'm no mistaken, weren't Laserbeak & Buzzsaw Vultures? Or where they actually their namesakes, Condors? I dunno............but I want a laptop. That would be cool. Or, get ready..............A FLASHLIGHT!! That would be awesome! It would have to work though..............

Lets not forget food!

Pizza
Sandwich
Hotdog
Pineapple

What better way to disguise yourself than a harmless ham sandwich?

What's so great about that idea is that it's actually do able. They should have done one for the Real Gears.

nope, he's a dumptruck. We still haven't got a definite garbage truck, neither front or rear-loading.

I see, I thought they were the same thing. What's a front-loading garbage truck?

Hit has arms on the front that lift large dumpsters up over its back and dump the contents into its compactor.

Amazing how often the desire for a TF bus comes up. I still like the idea of a Decepticon school bus.

We'll call him "Detentior" or something. he sneaks up on children and takes them to school. Even in the Summer!

I always thought it was a complex metaphor for the Republican party.

Ham Sandwiches aren't harmless, just ask Mama Cass. Well... you could have but she died eating a ham sandwich. Okay, so maybe that's an urban legend but I definitely feel that a ham sandwich should at least be a Decepticon in light of the rumor. Maybe it could also have an olive with a pimento that looks like the Decepticon symbol held on top with a toothpick.

I had an idea for a RiD Garbage Truck once, where the rear of the vehicle would become a huge crab-like claw.

I have these two small Hotwheel type die-cast toy busses that came out for the Armada line in Japan. They're both in the style of those double decker busses in London. Made by Kabaya/Majorette. They don't transform, but they're most spiffy. Here's pics.
