Hey guys, I have been hearing soem rumors about an Upgrade kit for the target repaint of roadbuster. Do anybody know anything about it? I have heard NATO's name associated but I am not sure. If anyone has a link or info I would be VERY interested in checkin it out.

ok found a little info, It is being done by NATO, the man who brought us the fantastic animated prime ax. Its currently only in the computer design stage. Its going to be a helmet to create an accurate head since the molds head is pinned on. It will also contain additional parts to G1ize him a bit. hopefully he will find a way to put up some images..

I hope this happens!

Although I think the Evac mold makes more sense for Springer, I think the Red Alert mold head works better for him (as in the Botcon version) rather than Roadbuster.

An upgrade kit...

I cant resist these third party things, Now I'm gonna be forced to buy the Comic 2-pack. I just hope that it winds up as good as that axe he made for Animated Prime.

I hope it is NATO, he does great work. I may end up getting RB after all then. Are there any pics of this anywhere?

my source says not yet, the planning is in the computer stage and cant be converted to a Jpeg, He is working on figuring out how to give us a tease.

There's a custom Prime axe? I had no idea. A pic please?

This Roadbuster thing sounds cool too.

Those pictures just sold me on the set. I bought the 2-pack today.

Now what do I do with the Dirge that came with my Roadbuster?

I'm calling him Shattered Glass Thundercracker. If you don't have a Shttered Glass set, maybe you should sell him on ebay?

I didn't think of putting him with my shattered glass collection. Thanks for the suggestion, SG Thundercracker it is!

Wow nice find!

I just got this 2 pack today. Love the Roadbuster mold, he fits great with my war-bots.

I'm all over this set when it comes out.

FP&C'd. Thanks for the heads up guys.

I've put in a preorder too. I'm loving the cannon

by **DoubleOScorpio** » Sat Dec 06, 2008 7:14 am

Preordered!!! It's stuff like this that keeps me active in collecting TFs and in this community. I can't wait to have a real RB to add to my collection. :grin:

by **Hard Hacker** » Sat Dec 06, 2008 7:40 am

That looks good.

But I need a Roadbuster first.

looks good but im lliking the original more the more i look at roadbust & dirge

Meh, I just repainted both figures.

News Credits: 5749 · by **El Duque** » Sat Dec 06, 2008 11:09 am

Pre-ordered the RB upgrade and the Ax. Amazing what a few extra details can do for a figure. Clever the way they've attached the new face plate.

by **Point** » Sat Dec 06, 2008 11:43 am

I was gonna say, "Ugh, not another upgrade." But I'm gonna get this. That Hot Shot/Roadbuster mold is badass and this set actually looks really cool. That Ani-Prime ax kinda looks good too...

It's a nice set, but now that I see it I think it will end up being a pass for me.

by **JesWal** » Sun Dec 07, 2008 6:53 pm

Hey guys, dunno if anyone else noticed, but they updated the site with a picture of the finished prototype. I dunno if it was already there, but I didn't see it yesterday. Just wanted to let yall know.
