• Bendy-Bus Prime (2009)

Bendy-Bus Prime is a life-sized non-transformable sculpture with the dimensions 13×11×6 feet. There was only one produced by Paramount Home Entertainment and Pinewood Studios or Propshop, which was given away on December 9, 2009 in a contest hosted by The Sun in conjunction with the release of Revenge of the Fallen on DVD.

He is made out of 100 original bus parts, and even has an Oyster card reader.

Notes

• Bendy-Bus Prime is purported to be "the first ever British inspired Transformer". Busby would beg to differ.
• Boris Johnson, Mayor of London, has pledged to withdraw all bendy buses from service in London by 2013. Whether Bendy-Bus Prime will change his altmode and name to Routemaster Prime in 2013 is unknown.
• This character was named "Bendy Bus Prime" in the article but "Bendy-Bus Prime" in the embedded video.
• Bendy-Bus Prime's place in Transformers canon is questionable. He was created by an official Transformers licensor, but it is unknown whether Hasbro gave any kind of approval.
• Bendy-Bus Prime was won by Craig Ryan, a casino worker from Yorkshire. He had difficulty putting it together, and "...what should be a 13ft tall and 11ft wide space-age marvel is currently sitting in bits and pieces at a storage depot in Leeds".
