1. BUS
In 29 years of Transformers we've never ever seen a bus (or trams for that matter). As part of the whole "Robots In Disguise" motif, I'd love to see more really ordinary every-day vehicles that wouldn't draw attention to themselves. We've had lots of military vehicles and exotic sports cars, which are extremely attention-drawing, which brings me to my next point...
2. ORDINARY CARS (i.e. regular civilian cars that aren't sports or racing cars)
One of my favourite moments from The Dark KnightRises:
Alfred Pennyworth: "Will you be wanting the Batpod, sir?"
Bruce Wayne: "In the middle of the day, Alfred? Not very subtle."
Alfred Pennyworth: "The Lamborghini, then. Much more subtle."
In a way, I actually preferred movie Bumblebee in the beginning of the first movie when he was a beat up 70s Camaro. As sexy as the Concept Camaro upgrade was, it just lacked that robot in disguise element that the 70sCamaro^Monaro had. You don't often see too many new concept cars driving on regular roads, but it's not uncommon to see a Classic 70s or 80s style muscle car.
Yes, we have had some ordinary cars before -- including: Bumblejumper (Mazda 323), G1 Bumblebee (VW Beetle), Wild Ride/X-Brawn (ML320 SUV), BT Skids/Broadblast (Toyota bB/Rukus), ROTF Skids & Mudflap (ice cream truck), ROTF/DOTM Skids & Mudflap (Chevy Beat hatchback & Chevy Trax mini-SUV respectively). But we have more sports and racing and futuristic/Cybertronian cars than we do have actually ordinary street cars in Transformers. I'd love to see a Toyota Corolla or Mazda 3 (fitting for a Generations Bumblejumper toy) etc.
3. TAXI
We've only ever had one - Universe Overcharge - which was nothing more than a repaint of a sub-standard Mini-Con. We need more and better Taxiformers!
