Our sponsor Big Bad Toy Store has just listed a preorder for the German transforming robot toy line Robobuz. Similar although unrelated to Transformers, Robobuz is comprised of 1:64 scale transforming buses. To check out the preorder for their leader, Bendway, click here.

The first bus TF!

[Fires_Of_Inferno]

Awesome! I'm grabbing three of this thing! One to put with the other transformers, one to probably keep in a box and forget about, and the other to send to a guy who can make it look like something from Mad Max.

It's been a looong time since I have come across a tranforming toy of any kind and actually thought to myself "I NEED this!" rather than just simply wanting it. This is one I NEED to get. That is so cool. About time someone made a Transforming bus and I'm glad to see that they didn't cop out and go with a standard bus but instead went straight to an articulated one.

[rpetras]

COOL!!!

I've always wanted a bus TF!

I don't know why, I just always thought it was a vehicle they were sorely missing.

I've got one on preorder now. Thanks for the tip.

I've wanted a Bus transformer FOREVER!

It's a shame that Hasbro couldn't provide. Oh well, I'll slap a sticker on him and display him with the rest.

[VYPER ALPHA]

he looks cool enough. I really want to see actual images not just CGI stuff.

[mechabooks]

Didn't take me long to put a preorder on this!

Hey guys, this is the link on youtube to see him transform from bus to robot, posted by the developer himself:

Wow a bus !!! Talk about exciting !!! Can we get a UPS truck too ???

[Zeds]

OMG I love buses and trains so this is a DONE DONE DONE DEAL! SWEET!

[Skullcrunchberries]

Never before used alt mode? I'm down, but not entirely sold until I see some actual toy pics.

Pretty darn excited, though. Plus, the sword and head sculpt are somewhat reminiscent of Drift.

[ligiermirage]

It's pretty cool, but what exactly does it have to do with transformers?

[Mechas8n]

If they do one of these that's a double decker I'm having it.

[Dr. Caelus]

Okay, now please remold it to look like the one from Jurassic Park II, and give us a few modified Mercedes-Benz SUVs to go with it.

[Mindmaster]

Yeah, I can see Hasbro making a new character from this. Bus-tron? Naw, that ain't gonna work. Can anyone think of a good name?

Aside from the fact that the guy who designed this also designed the Nike Shoe figures, nothing.

But a site sponsor wanted up to post it, so we did.

It's also a transforming bus/robot. I think a lot of people on this site like robots that transform into things, whether they are officially Transformers, or just transforming figures.

I love the idea of a transforming bus. I always wanted a story about a group of autobots that got the short end of the stick when it came to alt modes. A bus was always one I would have put in it. A golf cart would also be a good one for that story. Oh yeah.. a refrigerator too

[Ultra Markus]

how is a transforming bus cool?

[CircuitBreaker]

Holy crap... The Nazis have finally done it... they've finally made their own Transformers that will exterminate every Jew/gypsy/disabled person in sight!!! But yeah, I can see Hasbro making a new character from this. Bus-tron? Naw, that ain't gonna work. Can anyone think of a good name?

Here's a few I've got with my friend's comments. (F)

One-Way (F: What? Me: Ya know like one way trip?)
Buster (F: LOL)
Broadside (F: Pretty appropriate)
Joint (F: Oh I see wat u did thare! Me: Ah crap.)

Wait, Doesn't the box say Bend-way? (F: Great, thanks for wasting my time)

[Flashwave]

Interseting, if it were an in-store thing, then a definate yes, my first thought was Alternators Ultra Magnus. A little blocky, but then so was UM.

Yes, I know there's an MP Maggy, (did the trailer armor project ever go anywhere?) but the ALt Prime ain't a semi, so there.

[SentinelPrime878]

I actually found awhile back and purchased a pretty cool and solid KO Bus transformer. Here's pics of him:

How about "Long Haul"?

[Mechastrike]

wow... somebody get his number.

[Forgotten]

Looks pretty good to me. But I think i'll wait for the Bloodhound Gang Party Bus paint job on him. Surely they'll do it. I hope they'll do it.
