We finally get to put faces to names with in-package images for a Dark Of The Moon Deluxe Wave 5 release and a Wal-Mart Deluxe exclusive. Pictures of an orange Roadbuster were revealed earlier, and it's now known as Track Battle Roadbuster. The mold is a repaint of the original Deluxe Roadbuster and even retains the same Mechtech weapon. This version of the Autobot leader is called Lunarfire Optimus Prime and features gold/yellow paint apps. He wields Voyager Optimus Prime's Mechtech weapon. The images also solidify the change for the later waves of DOTM toys, as the bottom of packaging has shiny lining much like the Target exclusives. Check it out below!

Track Battle Roadbuster

Supercharged and ready for action, ROADBUSTER is itching to try out his newest weapon against any DECEPTICON dumb enough to show his face. The AUTOBOT tinkerer has souped up his engine, boosted the output of his cannons, and reinforced his armor in anticipation of the next big battle. He can`t wait!

Lunarfire Optimus Prime

AUTOBOT RATCHET just modified his leader's vehicle mode with a gleaming Cybertanium coating designed to withstand the most punishing conditions in the galaxy! With his stunning new paint job and ultra-powerful ion cannon, OPTIMUS PRIME, the mighty leader of the AUTOBOTS, is tuned up and ready to roll out!

That Roadbuster looks like the pre-production concept version of him. I guess that's where they got the colors from. And I'm still hoping for a weaponized version of him, like the deluxe Topspin and the upcoming deluxe Leadfoot.

waste of money Hasbro. Looks like barf. NEXT.

i think hasbro is missing a great oppurtunity in their choice of repaints. i think they should repaint/remold the wreckers into the stunticons and the voyager megatron into motormaster. those would be some repaints i would get behind. this stuff is an easy pass.

im defienatly getting track battle roadbuster

but lunar fire optimus prime waste of money

all exclusives pretty much have that foil trim at the bottom,nothing new bout that.i will buy these as i'm a sucker for exclusives.well whatever.

That's actually an excellent idea.

They already did that for the BotCon 2011 set so I don't think many would jive with that. There are many characters that have earned their opportunity to get released as a repaint, and to be honest, the Stunticons have more than worn out their welcome. Orange Roadbuster homages Earnheardt Jr's Orange Nascar, and they're going to milk Optimus Prime molds day in and day out. Plus......

yea but the botcon set is way expensive. as for that picture: not everyone was lucky enough to find that dragstrip, not everyone can afford that wildrider, that deadend well imo kind sucks, breakdown can get upgraded to deluxe so he can be the same size as the others, and that's nemesis not motormaster. and man i can hope stop busting my bubble!
