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. :KREMZEEK:

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.

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.

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 :grin:

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.
