Earlier we reported that igear PP03 Seeker Storm was revealed in the latest TFSource newsletter.

Now we have another reveal from a different site sponsor. BigBadToyStore has revealed in their new Dark Of The Moon pages the third wrecker Roadbuster in the form of a Human Alliance figure with Sergeant Recon.

We also get a look at Human Alliance Basic Tailpipe who is a motorcycle and a minicon type robot with Sergeant Noble. Both figures are set for Human Alliance series 2.

Such a strong MASK vibe from these 2, more than any of the others. I really wasn't planning on picking anything other than the Voyager Ironhide and Ultimate Prime, but these do look good.

What's wrong with that motorcycle one? It looks like it got hit with a combo attack from both the stupid AND the ugly stick.

HA Roadbuster looks great, but, uh...

*ahem* That would be nice.

I'm kinda stoked that they're doing a 2 robots in 1 deal with Tailpipe and his little buddy (whom I'm calling Exhaust unless they say differently.) I hope there's other coming who follow the same design principle.

Hasbro should name the little guy Backwind. :KREMZEEK:

I don't care for Roadbuster, but I do like Tailpipe! I'm pretty fond of all the "Basic" HA figures. And I'm sure that part of the appeal is that they remind me of M.A.S.K.

He's definantly a brighter green than I would have thought. I wonder though, does his guns flip in and out on the vehicle mode? if so.. =P~

After the day I have had so far I needed the laugh.. Thanks a bunch! :grin:

So, Hasbro. Buddy. Pal. Friend o'Mine. These look cool, but I have a question for you.

When are you going to, well, you know...

JUST MAKE TF vs GIJOE SETS!

Sheesh. Sorry about yelling but I've had Blue Bearings for over 20 years now and need a release. You show us a crappy cobra commander figure with a skystriker painted up like screamer, but in the end it is still a Crappy Cobra Commander figure with a poorly painted Skystriker...

Seriously. Just do it already. If you don't, some 3rd party will...

HA FTW!

I'll definitely be getting HA Roadbuster versus his other forms. Kinda iffy about the other HA Basics, though. I can't say I'm disappointed they're expanding HA though, and it's going to have characters that will actually be in the film in it. With the earlier HA appearances I was afraid it was all going to be triple changers (into weapons, if that counts, or if there's a term for it) who may only be random weapons in the movie. Lol.

Well, I know which version of Roadbuster i'm getting now.

I really liked the Human Alliance stuff for the last go around. I'm not feeling the Nascar fella though. Maybe after seeing the movie I might change my tune. I do think the motorcycle guys look cool but if I'm out on these, I need to be completely.

Roadbuster is looking really cool. I wonder if they're going to release the other 2 Wreckers, and if all of their vehicles are fully 'stealth forced' like Roadbuster here, I would almost definitely pick them all up. Their deluxe versions don't look bad at all either though (though Roadbuster isn't SF up), so we'll see how the other HAs look, but odds are they'll look even better.

As for Tailpipe, he actually looks really cool in my opinion. Sure he's really simple looking but he also comes with a little robot, which is pretty cool. And his weird hover bike mode looks quite interestng.

Entertainment Earth has listed new Human Alliance figures (in particular, Skids and Roadbuster) with packaging images! Awesome! ^_^

Roadbuster looks better than the deluxe version, but I probably won't get it unless it has an unarmed vehicle mode as well.

News Credits: 7 · by **Noideaforaname** » Mon Apr 25, 2011 5:15 pm

I had a feeling we'd be getting an 'attack-mode' Roadbuster as one of the HAs, there's a certain pattern Hasbro seems to be taking with the Wreckers; the Cyberverse, Deluxe, and HA each get two of the Wreckers, one clean and one with guns; and each Wrecker gets two toys, one clean and one with guns. Going by that apparent pattern, the next Wrecker toy we'll see would be a clean HA Leadfoot.

Not sure how that'd work with the giant Target logo (not that it couldn't be replaced with a fake one).

Sgt Recon and Sgt Noble ... Hasbro's really pulling out the creativity with this line! :-(

by **Joker'sRequiem** » Mon Apr 25, 2011 5:19 pm

So far it looks like the HA line will make up the majority of my DOTM purchases. The HA Roadbuster looks superior to his deluxe, and I prefer him and his Wrecker brethren to have a lot more size to them versus other TFs. I plan to get all of the HA Basic figures, Tailpipe being the latest addition to my Want List. Hopefully the HA line gets some decent distribution, because outside of new characters (Skyhammer), I'm not really liking anything outside of HA for DOTM...

by **CelticDragon** » Mon Apr 25, 2011 5:20 pm

Neither one of these is doing anything at all for me. So far, the best thing about this thread is Serpent 0r's sig. That made my day! :lol:
