I'm not quite sure about the original sticker sheet, but Reprolabels has a set that definitely enchances Whirl, as well as giving him even more detail. Here's the listing, if you're interested.

They'll be perfect. Thanks for the heads up. ☺

Great job capturing his essence. I agree his lower legs don't look as bad now. Can't wait for it to come out. So when will that be?

Who knows? If TakaraTomy has any plans it's most likely going to be for Cloud as Generations has ended there it seems. You know any popular Decepticon Jeeps aside from Swindle?

"popular" is probably pushing it, but what about Crankcase? Or maybe Battletrap (he could say Cloud Rodimus stole his helicopter mode)

Or as part of the Legends line, which looks to be the new Generations.

Hopefully Legends will have more than just Beast Wars molds, as it currently seems to be highly BW-centric with its manga starring the Beast Wars cast in office comedy stories.

not to mention the logo is styled after the Japanese Beast Wars one.

He's so badass!

A small update on the previous in-hand images of Generations Roadbuster, we have additional images of the Autobot Wrecker, courtesy of Pax Cybertron via Facebook! Through these additional images, we get a nice look at how each of his weapons interact with him in both modes. According to Pax Cybertron, several in-hand images of Roadbuster's wave-mate, Sky-Byte, will be posted tomorrow as well. Check out the images below!

That big gun configuration looks nice.

News Credits: 409 · by **Stormrider** » Tue Jul 01, 2014 2:48 pm

Hollow guns? Oh man. Hasbro is really cutting back. Does he come with a missile? Looks like the missile launcher can fit one.

Roadbuster looks really nice, but I'm really looking forward to pictures of Sky-byte.

by **Nemesis Maximo** » Tue Jul 01, 2014 3:24 pm

Doesn't he seem a little short for a Stormtrooper?

News Credits: 103 · by **Cyber Bishop** » Tue Jul 01, 2014 4:22 pm

Badass.. The more I see of him the more I want him.

News Credits: 13 · by **OptimalOptimus2** » Tue Jul 01, 2014 5:47 pm

Gosh the more I see Roadbuster, I really, really want him. (Maybe I need him.) :BANG_HEAD:

Though I also want to see Sky-Byte and Brainstorm.

The color saturation is strong with this one.
Still a great looking mold though.

That head sculpt reminds me a lot of a Zaku. From Gundam design. Not an expert just an observation. The Darth Vader reference is somewhat accurate too. And Samus. I think I like my 3rd party version better. Cost doesn't compare though so this is a good option, and looks good enough.

Ah, cool, thanks for getting these up here. Yeah, a lot of them are from my instragram feed, hence the filters. I'm working on the video review right now, so that should be up soon.

He does come with a missile. I just hadn't put it back in when shooting these.

He's a great toy. I'm really enamored with him. Hasbro's doing a great job of stepping up the game.

The hollow weapons are due to the "customizing" aspect of how they interlock.

Looking forward to this and Skybyte. Well come to think of it there are a lot of figures I can't wait to own.

:MAXIMAL:

Glad I was right about the modular nature of the weapons. Wouldn't mind seeing this guy as a Constructbot.

News Credits: 33 · by **Amelie** » Wed Jul 02, 2014 3:28 am

Just.. one thing - where is his Autobot logo?

If I remember correctly, I believe he is supposed to come with a decal sheet similar to how Whirl did so I would imagine that is why he hoesn't have an Autobot logo straight out of the box.

Does his optics use light piping?

Roadbuster has always been a favorite. I can't wait for him. I love this sculpt, Hasbro really hit it out of the park with him and whirl. I'd love to see a Broadside triple changer but that fansproject one would work nicely too. I love the pics of Gel Shark too, gonna pick him up. More Car Robots toys!!! I'm kind of torn though. I'm thinking of selling my movie toys but there are some that are just really cool. Maybe I'll just keep the ones that are in the movie... but then Hasbro screwed us over with DoTM with Que, Soundwave, and Leadfoot. SIGH.
