Interesting. :-?

This really doesn't do anything to fix the biggest issue with Revolver, IMO: his narrow chest.

Ah, now I need not buy the recolors from FP. Indeed, this is interesting. If I was getting FP Roadbuster, I'd probably be all over this.

And I find it ironic that someone is doing an add-on kit for FP. It reminds me of the days of Cliffjumper and City Commander...

Nope. This is just lame. Revolver was another example of a 3rd party releasing a character at the wrong time. (hasbro version coming) No amount of dumb armor or guns is gonna help move all those revolvers out the warehouses. I bought the twins repaints, but skipped this guy.

How do you like the twins? Quality up to snuff? If they ever go on clearance, I would consider them.

As an owner of all 3 "Revolver" characters, I think this is a pretty good idea. Now you can have all 3 figures with power-up items. These look nice, and those claws on the alt mode remind me of the ThunderTank (good ole' Panthro has been busy in the mechanic bay again).

I'm interested to see what comes of this, would even buy if priced decently.

It's hillarious that another 3rd party add on kit is giving another figure height shoes.

This kit looks great, A lot better than other kits i've seen this month. Fear, it's going to be exspensive as it has so many parts and pieces for a big scaled toy.

Easy pass, Since I don't own this 3rd party figure.

Still think the Hasbro 30th Roadbuster toy is the superior winner in sculpt in both modes and low price. It's only a matter of time till 3rd parties start creating extra weapons, gear and accesories add on kits for the Hastak toy.

That's pretty cool. I was considering getting all 3 Revolver mold-mates as Roadbuster, Rack and Ruin (presumably pre-fusion!) and getting Cloud Roadbuster such that I don't miss out on the HasTak mold. This does look like a nice set of upgrades, only problem is that if he has these, whilst I could give the ones that come with Recoiler and Riftshot to...well, Recoiler and Riftshot, they'd look a tad odd considering the contrastiung colours. That said I could always repaint them like the nutter I am.

I do like the sculpting on these a lot though. The forks/mine plow on the front are a nice touch. He'd look right at home with G2 Sideswipe and other, similarly spiky/overly 90s TFs.

This just isn't for me. I like the battle rifle, but that alone isn't worth the set.

Sheesh, it's getting where everything needs an upgrade kit these days.

I didn't realize Revolver was still even a thing.

Meh, I say! Meeeehhhh!!!

Find it ironic this toy had the Car Robots styled GodConvoy forearms. As I toyed around with the idea of 30th Jetfire getting add on forearms with rotate fist and poseable fingers. But knew it wouldn't look right on the 30th Jetfire toy, As it also needed boots to match.

Thinking it might be interesting if 3rd parties would create a Animal bot or Tank bot that could combine with 30th Jetfire. Like 1989 Star saber and Victoryleo combine. Or like how Optimus combines with CR-Rid Ultra Magnus. just to give the 30th Jetfire toy add on forearms with rotate wrist and articulated fingers. Ofcause with combiner boots, armor accessories and more weapons.

hot garbage...

Revolver is actually quite good and while he's on clearance I think anyone with the cash should get it over the Hasbro one, but this?

Junk. GGPO
