Unofficial Upgrade to Third Party Roadbuster
Third party Transformers maker FansProject (Amazon.com search*) released their own take on the 1985 Deluxe Autobot Roadbuster. Named Revolver Core (at TFSource), the robot design is pretty fantastic and has a fun transformation and durable design.
FansProject then retooled the mold to create a pair of robots — Riftshot and Recoiler (announced here) — that each included upgrade parts for Revolver Core. Great idea, and the trio of ‘bots go together great.
That wasn’t good enough for some people, though. So now we’re seeing Shadow Fisher, an unofficial upgrade kit for that Revolver Core toy. I’ve seen no sign of sales info, but the Facebook album makes this look like it’s going to be an incredible upgrade kit.
With any luck we’ll learn more before I get close to finishing the new book in the Transforming Collections* series. I’d sure love to include this kit along with the Riftshot and Recoiler pages I’ve been working on.
And just in case the designers of the kit are reading: please contact me because I’d love to either get early access or interview you for my next book. Thanks!
