A while back I stumbled across a 1/32 model kit of a Hummvw M998 Avenger and thought it would make a great Alt mode for Roadbuster.
Image
I really wanted to make Roadbuster different to the Soundwave i did with this mold so i made the front wheels detachable,gave him Alt Wheeljacks hands,
altered the tops of the shoulders,added tail lights,new hubcaps & a load of extra armour details.
Image

Image
Most of the robot modes extra details & guns came from a Serpent Custom Gundam kit,The head also came from the Gundam kit wich i resculpted & added a few 40k bits.
Image
Just to give Roadbuster a "little" extra firepower i gave him the experimental Pathblaster cannon from the Time Wars comic (Marvel U.K.).
Image
Roadbuster was painted with Games workshop Acrylics (mainly Dark Flesh,Vermin Brown & Dark Angels Green)

The I.D. markings,VV-54 AR Mugen Caliber is the original I.d. of the pre-transformers Dorvack figure that was licensed by Hasbro & became Roadbuster

Can you say Epic win?
I like how you managed not to overdo it either way with being too-G1 or too overstylized.
Great job, a nice update for an equally nice character.
