Unofficial Transformers Roadbuster Up for Pre-Order
Designed as an homage to the 1985 Deluxe Autobot Roadbuster (see the TFWiki), FansProject’s upcoming Warbot Revolver is now up for pre-order at Big Bad Toy Store.
I like how FansProject went with a Powermaster-like approach, with the little robot becoming the engine of the Roadbuster-styled toy. Nice touch, and at $90 the price feels right in line with other FansProject releases. Pre-ordered!!!

Nice, but FP really (to no fault of their own) cocked up on the timing of this figure. For fans like myself who have been hankering for a G1-style update of Roadbuster, the upcoming Hasbro version more than fits the bill and will be much less expensive.
@Kevin – The shocking thing is the toy already reached BBTS. I got email notification that it’s in and ready to ship. So way less of a pre-order window than usual.
Timing is definetly bad on this one, but I prefer the look of FP’s figure over the official release. I’ve enjoyed the WarBot series so far and The other core figure (Steel) is my favorite 3P figure ever!
Already ordered my Revolver and can’t wait to get him in-hand! I’m still on the fence about Recoiler & Riftshot, though. I love the way Revolver’s alt mode looks with the extra armor, but not as impressed with the powered-up robot.
