Transformers have been given all sorts of modes from tanks to helicopters to bikes to occ choppers, firetrucks to semi cab, cars to ambulances. boats to planes. vans to min vans and what not, but i think theve missed something here, i know its strange but what about a bus. id like one, he or she would be big, armoured and could do a rid mangus style with the legs. like a routemaster to one those chicargo ones off driver parell lines.

so hasbro for all time sake what ya say can i have a bus to finish it off. youve got to give in some time like idw with spotlight wheelie?

[shadowsfm]

thats funny, i like to look at cars in the street and draw what it would look like in robot mode. i drew the city bus as a robot, he was collosul

id like to see a submarine tf

Still waiting for a blimp transformer

HindenBorg! Transform!

There is a Transformers one, but he is a minicon:
Deepdive:



And one might consider Sharkticon a submarine.

There was a Submarine Transformer, a mini-con (the best minicon) Still, a bigger one I'd like to see.

[shadowsfm]

ok, ill make up another original idea

garbage truck?

[Autoclot]

How about...

A Zamboni
A lawnmower
A pogo stick (minicon)
Off-shore oil-rig (citybot)

[Rodentus Prime]

I like the bot's that featured in the uk comics Robo capers strip

[-Rodimus(BR)-]

A Taxi Transformer. Could be a psychopathic decepticon who would get human passangers and grind them inside him just for fun. Or...
Just another autobot car, we got a fire chief Lambo, why not a cab?

If this picture ain´t photoshopped that would be a nice reference, lol!

[spiritofcat]

Yeah, a bus shouldn't be too difficult. You could go with a similar transformation to G1 Motormaster.

Classic TF
- a hot air ballon
- luxury cruiser (aka Love Boat)


And for BW:
- a donkey

Look to GoBots again, in this case Flytrap: http://www.tfu.info/Gobots/Renegades/Flytrap/flytrap.htm

I have him, and while not quite groundbreaking, there's nothing wrong with the figure, and so I think he's really cool.

So how bout a Segway former? Segwayis Maximus could be cool . I sketched out a plausable transformation for one actually, maybe I should dig it up and redraw it.

he wouldnt be able to clean himself the autobots would say
"oh that dirty dectacreep and those humans"

To be perfectly honest, over the years I've always been somewhat disappointed with the variety of alt modes in transformers. Seems like far too many of them are things like exotic or futuristic sports cars with oversized spoilers and flames on the hood, which, lets face it, isn't the best disguise. The movie, for all it's sins, did give us some interesting disguise modes.

For some time now I've been thinking a submarine would be a good choice of alt mode for an updated Soundwave. I mean for starters you have that whole Sonar, Soundwave connection. Plus submarines, basically they spy.

And check it out, he could launch spy satellite minions, and have a mini-sub minion:


I'm big into minions. I have a character I came up with a while back that transforms into a hearse. Has a minion that turns into a coffin.

Anything like T-Bob from MASK?

A coffin minicon? hmmm...

[Mykltron]

When I see buses I think about how they'd look but I figure there's just too much empty space inside. If they did one like RiD Magnus it's look utterly stupid like RiD Magnus. Looks good in animation but the toy sucks.

Before the movie came out I kept imagining my bicycle turning into a robot. Funnily enough he looked rather gangly - just like how Frenzy turned out!

There is a bunny. His name is Stampy! I think it's in Neo. It's lame.

[Ravage XK]

Id like to see a red London Bus transformer but I think a single decker coach type would work better as there is less empty space to deal with. They could built upon the Cybertron Mudflap design as that is fairly flat, then it just needs the seating area stuck on top. Oh and remove the crane, obviously.

I would also like to see one of those massive Chinook helicopters, dont think we have had one of those before, lots of mass to build in a really good transformation. How about an ocean tanker, Tidal Wave but all in one?

Animated Wreck gar?
