There is a niche for this. There's a collector for everything. Now it is time for fans of Optimus Prime's smaller scout form to rise up and be happy.

It seems that the team at TFClub cannot keep busy enough. Now it appears that they are advertising a new design for a Masterpiece Roller that actually transforms!

Check out the link to their website below where they have a banner add for this interesting, and often left out Autobot.

Looks realy nice, it's kinda movie style, wish I had a MP OP trailer now.
I'm guessing it'll cost around deluxe price point.

Whats Prime without him?

Take a look, seems to be a new mold, which to me is a much needed relief from the regular repaint exclusive.

Take a look

As an exclusive for an MP? I'm figuring $70.

And it doesn't bother me that it transformers, I always wished Roller(as well as the Energon drones) did.

A transformable Roller for 20th/MP prime fig&trailer!
Looks pretty damn sweet! No price or availability yet though. Stay tuned![/quote:37ug02wp]

I don't know. Roller transforming doesn't seem right, even when I did it for a [url=http://s9.zetaboards.com/Customizers_Universe/topic/15665/1/#new:1u2134it]custom I had made[/url:1u2134it].

On top of that, why is he all moviefied when he's supposed to be Masterpiece/20th?

Hmmm...an intriguing idea. I always thought it was kind of unfair that poor Roller didn't get a robot mode...there's only so many places a wheeled vehicle can go.

Anyone know anyplace where I can pick up JUST the MP trailer?

I lost my Roller for my G1 Prime when I was little. Can you imgine getting THIS one and then losing him? :cry:

It looks like the Mars Rover. Cool. 8)

Posted by Stormrider on July 1st, 2008 @ 1:28am CDT

Roller changing into a robot? That's absurd. And what makes it wackier is that the robot scheme and alt mode don't even mesh with MP Prime's astetics.

This is a poor representation of Roller. I wouldn't be surprised if someone came up with Transformer Movie idea first based on a rover, and then later had the idea - Hey let's market this as 'Roller'.

Meh on Roller, do like the Custom Beachcomber though - very nicely done.

I bet whomever designed this is like, 'WTF? We thought having him transform would make everyone happy."

No sir, I don't like it.

I'm no G1 purist or anything, that thing just looks like crap.

Of course, I may eat those words once we see the final product, but for now, major PASS.


Re: TFClub Update! TFC-EX002 Battle Rollar (737909)
Posted by bcm77 on July 1st, 2008 @ 8:04am CDT

I don't mind the fact that Roller transforms but the robot mode looks too much like a Bayformer for me to get really enthused about it.

Its not that unheard of.

It was heavily implied that the "Apex Armor" for PM Optimus was an upgraded Roller.

Yes! For only an insane amount of money, you to can own something that looks a little bit like Roller! As an added bonus, it transforms into a robot cunningly designed to go with your MP Prime as well as napalm goes with peanut butter.

Thanks, but I'll pass.


Re: TFClub Update! TFC-EX002 Battle Rollar (738533)
Posted by Delicon on July 1st, 2008 @ 8:15pm CDT

Well, we never knew Roller "couldn't" transform, did we?

It's funny how many people have owned some version of him at some point, and yet it's a character that is pretty non-existent for most of the G1 episodes/comics.

I wonder if someone won't be inspired to come up with a better version of this (although I may end up buying this one anyway)

Well, can't please all the people all the time, and yeah I could knit pic, but I'm pretty dam happy with this.

Again, I'm an old schooler, and even back in the day I wish Roller did this. Granted it isn't "MPish", but it sure beats a cart with a gas pump on a hose that litteraly, rolls.

Liege welcomes new figs, stereo type or not. Just don't repaint it white and baby blue and claim it's for Magnus.

That I will reak great havok upon!!!
