There are preorders of a new figure from Mastermind Creations in the Reformatted line, R-23 Dicamus, which appears to be Roadbuster. Here are the initial preorders, estimated to arrive in November 2016, and some pics:

BBTS $109.99
TFSource $109.99

I think MMC is a little late to the party. I love their Reformatted line and have nearly everything in it. But Hasbro's Roadbuster is pretty awesome in my opinion. I'll be skipping this one...

I really wish 3Ps would do stuff Hasbro is never likely to do. You know, like Scrounge....wait... :-s

Eh, I prefer the look of the FP version. That said the Strika retool looks awesome.

I don't know, I'm really into this one. The Hasbro one I got was a floppy piece of junk and too small for my liking. This one looks massive, and as far as Roadbuster goes that's what I prefer. It'd be nice if he was closer to Leader size (full on IDW style) but this is probably the closest we'll get.

This version trumps them all (especially FP's abysmal version) and the price is alright. I could buy this if i was more into Roadbuster as a character.

I wasn't all that fussed on this to begin with but since my adoption of MMC's Spartan as Impactor, FansProject's Revolver Core doesn't really cut it size-wise. Plus, in comparison to the two third party offerings, HasTak's figure looks malnourished.

I've pre-ordered Dicamus and frankly the more I see it the more I feel this is the right one for me.
