Yeah, that's the key thing there. Price. Roadbuster-and most Wreckers-aren't high on my list of must-haves, so for me a good Hasbro at twenty bucks wins out almost every time.
Not caring about scale since 1984. Just like Hasbro.

I have a feeling they'll lower the price of these a lot more when they don't sell out...
I've never actually seen an FP product on clearance... would be interesting.

I got the G3 trailer on clearance from BBTS. There's also the Alternator Matrix set which despite being limited to 2000 pieces(according to the product page) has been on clearance several times and never sold out.

It's FunPub. It's their specialty.

I love this, 10 bucks cheaper than two of the shittiest repaints I've ever seen! I mean seriously. TANK-JET STARSCREAM BUT NOT FLYWHEELS!? 100 bucks for a figure with some of the worst shoulder engineering from an official product I've ever transformed.

The ninja bugs (non-Insecticons) were once on clearance at BBTS, too. Still passed them while on clearance.

I had preordered it, and then I went back and cancelled. I think I'll stick with Hasbro's Roadbuster.

I'll stick with the Hasbro Roadbuster. I assume the other two will be around the same price and having to spend nearly $300 to get a fully armored version rubs me the wrong way.

Its funny you said that because I did the exact same thing. Not because of any loyalty to hasbro though. I just want whirl and roadbuster to have the same aesthetic side by side. But I do think ill buy the rack n ruin so I can have the mold without having duplicate characters on my shelf. Moneys not an issue, but room is starting to become an issue...

I bought Warcry & Flameblast on clearance for somewhere between $25-$27. Had some fun with them, and then sold them for twice the price once I got bored with them a year later. Total win!

I'd say it's just them trying to push this out as soon as possible to up the ante against Hasbro's RB. I intend to be patient

I just got SmartRobin yesterday. I love the transformation but I wish they would improve on the size and plastic type (feels too soft). Is Revolver going to be the same?

It is more likely to be like Assaulter, since different 'studios' work on these projects and Revolver is a direct successor to Assaulter, no the Function X line.
