Found this while browsing a blog. I would post the link but I don't know if that's against the rules to post a link to another blog...

That's not G1 Roadbuster. This is G1 Roadbuster:

Yes I know, just a toy from another line that looks like G1 RoadBuster. Will be getting it and slapping some Autobot logos on it to make it my Super-Deformed G1 RoadBuster.

It's a superdeformed version of the original toy. You know G1 Roadbuster was originally produced by a different Japanese company just like Wirl.

This is awesome

What's the line called actually, I suddenly crave an updated Wirrl and Roadbuster.

At Hobbylink Japan it's listed under "Special Armored Battalion Dorvack" and "RoadBuster" is called "Mugen Calibur"

Thanks!

I got one of these for Christmas 1984, and like to think of it as a SD Mini-Jetfire. For a while he lived in Optimus's trailer with Roller. (I got OP that same Christmas).

(Yes, I technically had it before Jetfire even existed, but I retconned it later, okay?)

Well for anyone that would like a Super-Deformed G1 RoadBuster (sorta). The preorder is up on BBTS for $85. A bit pricy, might be cheaper ordering from Japan directly.
