    Get this; It transforms. Sounds like a link to TF to me.

    Anyways, a nifty looking figure, a bit to blocky, but I'll wait for a review.

    Compared to other 3rd party manufacturers it's a hell of a good deal IMO, even moreso since changing from 1:87 to 1:64 scale. As for the quality, it sounds like they're certainly taking their time developing the toy so I'm taking it as a good sign.

    I'll wait until I see a review from Peaugh or someone that convinces me it's a decent figure.

    About the only thing I see different so far from the official Transformers out of something like the Classics or Universe line is a lack of an Autobot symbol. Put an Autobot sticker or two on the figure and he looks like he could blend in with some of the designs we've gotten out of Hasbro.

    Which seems like a big plus as a collector because it means people can expand their collection with new characters now without always having to wait on Hasbro or needing a second job just to afford the figures.

    "Post famous bus saying here"

    Price, scale, ETA are all good enough to add to the lengthening preorder list.

    I already preordered mine from bbts. I think this is the first busformer. At least it'll be the first one that I own.

    I guess I'm not as excited about this as I was initially. For some reason watching the transformation video strikes me with fear and makes me wonder if I'd ever transform it more than once. But it's a transforming bus so I'll pretty much have to get it regardless. :)

    Decisions... do I keep my direct preorders or do I go with BBTS? Not knowing the shipping charges from europe (probably high) makes me wonder...
