Description
Omnibus PrimeAlt mode Double Decker bus
Team Commander and heavy gunner
A Special-Ops team of autobots were on their way to rendezvous after hearing Optimus Primeβs call to meet up on earth,when the decepticon Soundwave in his alt mode of a satellite hit them with a EMP knocking them from their trajectory and crash landing in the UK, and leaving them with temporary memory loss and shorting out their long range communications leaving them unable to contact any other autobot on earth.
Omnibus Prime is the team leader of the squad and most battle hardened of them all. Not directly related to Optimus Prime (the overall Autobot commander) Omnibus was granted the name 'Prime' as a Battlefield Commission by Optimus himself
Comfortable more a soilder than a leader, Omnibus has turned down several promotions that would take him away from the frontlines. Omnibus longs to regain communication with the Autobots in the US and with his superior leader Optimus Prime to receive orders, and often worries if the choice he makes off the field, regarding his team protecting the humans, is what Optimus Prime would have done.
When I thought of doing a UK based autobots I just knew the leader of the squad was going to be a British double decker. I ran thru one other design of this character before realizing it look horrible and gave him another go, and am really and the glad the way it came out.
With having him be twice the size of a regular bus he is really REALLY large, and the top deck of alt made him really wide, either in the legs (the1st version of him had giant calves and he looked puffy all over)
To fix this I converted the front of the top layer of his alt mode to be his military backpack, the rest of his top layer converts into over the shoulder cannons (note the hose that comes from his pack to the ion blaster), and his battle blaster also comes from his alt mode top deck layer as well.
The name was the hardest part of this character. But I am really glad with the one I came up with
the rest of the team

thanks you, after the nightmare that the first design of him was, glad to hear people like the way he came out in the end

Designing ain't always easy, we all know that, but you did a great job!
