Well, being that the Transformers movie is coming out soon (and thus fulfilling the childhood dreams of my entire generation) I needed to throw my hat into the ring (even though I absolutley SUCK at drawing mecha of any kind).

So I figured, okay, what kind of Transformer hasn't really been done yet? So in that vein, I present to you: MAXI-BUS DAN!

Okay, I'm betting the majority of you out there don't get the joke, here it is:

In Trinidad, we have a public transport system that uses what are called Maxi-Taxis (pictured inset). The color of the stripe indicates it's destination and they run all the time on the East-west corridor of the island.

As for the name, we have a local musician who calls himself Maximus Dan (and who is a rastafarian, thus the dreadlocks/cables), hence the name.
