If my conversion is correct that is $50.24 USD.
I kind of like the bus too..

A robot bus? Now I've seen everything. Maybe I can ask for a pea soup green one like the busses that drive past my home...

thats cool! i want it!

They should put that in like TF3 and name him like Inferno or hoist or something cool. I love that design!

Public transit by day, robotic guardian by night!

I might buy it and have Robobuz hang out with Bonecrusher

Seibertron.com member Real Devastator told us that a non Transforemrs related transforming Robot called Robobuz is up on pre-order.
This product is the creation of a German advertisement designer who had created this for a customer but grew so attacked to it that he started his own brand with it. The designer states that he himself is a Transformers fan and that he took inspiration from his childhood heroes.

This toy model transforms form a 1:87 scaled articulated German city bus into a fully detailed and articulated robot and has rubber tires.

The Robobuz is not yet completed as it is still being produced so the final product and packaging my vary from the current pictures.

Awesome, German quality! I'll get one.

Quite a year. We finally get a biplane, a forklift and now a bus (an alt mode I've wanted to see since forever). I might just get one of these.

Is it just me or does the head/face design look not unlike Highbrow?

So at 1/87, would that make it about Deluxe size?

One question. What is a bus joint?

wow this thing looks awesome.... did you guys see the video on their main page? it seriously makes me consider actually buying one

It looks neat but I'd like to get more photos of it from different angles and some stats before even thinking of buying it.

Put me down for both colors!! this is the perfect addition to the neo G-1 collection I am working on!!

Some transit systems use buses that are nearly twice the length of your standard bus. To navigate the corners in downtowns, the bus is essentially two rigid frames tied together by a somewhat flexible joint. Illustrated in the video at the link above, and here:

you know what, i think you are right.. I have been rethinking my position on this figure, so far all I have seen is CG of it.. I need to see the actual toy, what kind of articulation it possesses and what scale is next to a transformer for reference. I also need to see if the windows are clear or not.

I like it, but I need more info and a prototype on it before I decide to preorder or even buy one..

Neat! I want one.
Ill wait for real pics before ordering though.

That vid is cool!
