My son says that "Transformers" has a Buddy in it. I'm sure he'll show me next time its shown.
Has anyone else spotted any movie Buddys?

Actually, Transformers has a Vespa LX in it. It gets trashed. Vespa did a promotion tied to the movie. I, like many, was terribly disappointed that there was no transforming Vespa.

I don't know of Buddys in movies yet, but they have shown up on TV. In particular, there was an episode of Desperate Housewives that featured a Buddy. (Links to video here.)

A few have shown up in commercials as well.

i actually noticed this when i was watching transformers the other day. i am not sure it was a buddy but it definitely caught my eye and made me wonder. looked kind of like one. i was too lazy to rewind... sweet robot fights.

it was an LX, a Scooterbot wouldve been cool!

A lady died her poodle pink, PETA said this is animal cruelty, picture on the news showed the poodle sitting on a pink buddy with black interior panels.

Was this the woman in Boulder, CO? I can't find a clip with the Buddy in it!

a transforming scooter has alread been done....although he was a gobot actually. i agree the transformer version would be way cooler.

I thought we already covered this...

Krusty, I actually have a Robotech toy somewhere that's not too far from that...

(Hey, looks like this thing is rare and highly "collectible"... maybe I should find it... huh!)

I'm helping to shoot a music video next weekend and we're doing a bicycle chase scene with a cameraman seated backwards on my Blur. I'm hoping the scooter can make a cameo too, if I don't crash it while we're shooting.

Cool! Someone at least needs to get a behind the scenes pic of the cameraman on the back.
