But now i'm disapointed. NOt at the figure. He's fantastic. But the fact that i can't match the rest of the wreakers in such detail in vehicle form. HA Leadfoot does look good in robot mode, but i'm disapoionted that his vehicle mode is just a standard Nascar and not the battle mode that the Wreakers are known for. What gives hasbro? Why won't you give us movie accurate figures in both vehicle and robot modes??

Y U no give us accurate figures!?

Congrats on finding & buying such a awesome toy.

it's on my list but I can't find the toy yet.

I had the oppossite reaction. I wanted $29.99 Roadbuster to be like leadfoot. as far as me wanting roadbuster to look more like a liscensed car & not like a mad max suped up car.

I like leadfoot better because he's modeled after a liscensed Chevy Impala.

with these $29.99 HA toys. I love the fact they feature liscensed alt modes with car interiors like alternators/BT/Alternity.

Thanks! I was also lucky enough to find Leader Class Ironhide so i picked him up as well. Yesterday was my birthday and i was bombarded with gift cards! Also picked up Leaderclass Sentinel Prime. Couldn't be happier with my purchases!

I suppose the reason they have one wreaker in "battle" mode and one in standard stockcar mode is to apeal to those waiting for a true Nascar TF. I get it, just wish the'd still give us the battle modes as to be movie accurate.

On a side noe, i agree that its fantastic to have vehicles that have interiors (for the most part) than can fit humans inside and still be so accurate to the movie bots there based on. They really are marvels of engineering.

I kinda wish that $29.99 HA Roadbuster looked more like his deluxe sized toy without the stealth mode with the weapons everywhere in vechicle mode.

OR That the $29.99 HA Wreckers had stealth modes like the ROTF stealth toys. where the stealth mode weapons went in/out of the vechicle mode to hide or to expose themselves. this would have made more fans happier.

I'm guessing that since we've already got 2 wreckers in the DOTM $29.99 HA,Were gonna see Topspin as a $29.99 HA toy too. without a stealth vechicle mode because the deluxe toy,I think has a stealth vechicle mode.

I'm gonna also guess we'll see a DOTM Leadfoot wrecker in the deluxe size class. perhaps with the stealth mode weapons exposed in vechicle mode because the $29.99 HA version doesn't have a stealth mode.

Since Hasbro loves doing Bumblebee repaints & new molds in the movie verse. My guess is we'll get a new mold 100% $29.99 HA stealth mode bumblebee. most likely looking like the deluxe nitro bumblebee toy.

If truble finding this guy the best places to look are kmarts and shopkos. By bday was on the fourth and also got a bunch of cash. Also i bet you dont want to pay shopkos high prices, well they haave a sale bringing all tfs to retail price or a few bucks less. When i did find them the only reason i passed was that i just bought ultimate op of of amazon.

So bottom line, look at kmart and shopko for ha roadbuster.

Can someone give me a run down of HA Roadbuster's articulation? I haven't seen much info about him.

Mykltron: he has tons of articulation
he doesnt have waist articulation though
no hand atrciulation either
overall: awesome human alliance

I don't really care which mode they're in, but wish they'd just be consistent. Either have them all battle mode/stealth force or all clean. This one of each and who knows if the 3rd will even happen is kinda lame.

I'm going to be the Negative Nancy here and say i was rather disappointed with it.

That's what I want to hear...why? I'd like to just skip these, but I thought this one looked kinda fun.

-Sloppy annoying transformation
-no real hands
-things lock into place but not very sturdy
-back heavy with no heals

Just to name a few lol. I also am not a fan of the shade of green as it is lighter than the deluxe and I don't care for the head sculpt. Granted, these are all my personal opinions. Some people may enjoy these flaws or overlook them due to the fact he is heavily armed and has a cool sunglasses gimmick.

$29.99 HA Roabuster has hands,he clearly has a few fingers & a thumb on each hand.

I'm sorry. I apologize for not being clear enough. The figure does not have hands that move or hold anything of use. At least for me they don't.

I think its safe to say until we see a HA Topspin, Roadbuster will reign supreme! I have had mine boxed/unopened because after seeing a video review I just had to wait. A fan used HFTD Highbrow's machine guns and they nicely pegged on both of RB's forearms. They made him look badass like a Wrecker should. I haven't done so just yet but I will be tomorrow and I think I won't be dissapointed...'nuff said!
