Came across this in the home lift out of today's paper: Transformers being used to help sell house upgrades!

See the video debut of this new Housebot on YouTube:

There's a Facebook page where you can see that Bumblebee showed up to the launch party

That is both weird and awesome.
(it's probably sad that I was trying to work out what particular Transformers toys the kid was playing with)
Just saw the ad on TV during the 6pm news.
Maybe we should have a naming game, to name that bot.
Well wasn't expecting that :D
Just heard that this was approved by Hasbro and licensed.
I think its Erector's Movie form.Quote:

I think the Autobot symbol would be the only thing in that commercial that Hasbro owns, to need their permission.
It's probably on the flyer as well, but the bottom is cut off.
The toy looks like Bumblebee from RID
