    Man, he's cool. Vehicle mode is tight and I love that he has a chainsaw weapon. Plus Roadbuster is just a cool guy who afraids of little, if anything at all.

    I just picked up this figure from Toys R Us in FL along with Flak and Starscream.

    Also saw some Mission Earth Bumblebee vs Starscream set that had a nice Bumblebee legends G1 figure in it.

    Thanks to you, I have two Cyberverse Roadbusters. I found them at the NASCAR race in Bristol, and bought them as fast as I could. I did find a Cyberverse Leadfoot there, but not a Cyberverse Topspin. But I already have them. Jimmie Johnson my Cyberverse Topspin. I also went a Wal-Mart the day after that, and found a Generations Warpath. Anyway, thanks for showing that you got this at a race, so I could get one, too.

    Exactly how I feel. I really hate this "one clean one in every scale" scheme of theirs. But I refuse to give in! I only have weaponized wreckers so far (except HA Leadfoot because I love that figure).

    Awesome! Glad you got one (or two)!

    Did they have any of the actual DOTM movie Wrecker cars on display at Bristol? They didn't at the Kentucky Speedway, but I have heard they have made appearances at other races.

    No, I did wish. The only one I know of was the Daytona 500. If they were there, I would have spent the whole weekend just sitting with them.

    This easily gets my vote for best Legends/legions of the year.

    Fantastic

    Really? He's good, but not THAT good. The lack of additional articulation, even on a Legion-class figure, is disappointing. Crowbar easily outshines Roadbuster as a better figure.

    As for Roadbuster, I found him, Starscream and Stealth BB last night (no Flak). He's a decent figure, and looks cool with the other two Wreckers. The alt mode is the best part, though.

    Well, dont get me wrong..I like crowbar, But Im not a huge fan of the arms. yea you can flip the torso, but it dosent look AS good to me, and the official mode makes the arms less posable. Crowbar has probably the best articulation of a legion ever, but its a really blah car mode. Roadbusters car mode is flawless, has a stowable weapon that cant get lost, decent articulation, and bot mode overall is neat, tough, and colored well.

    If there were a tie, I would say crowbar and roadbuster tie, but I give Roadbuster the edge

    Just found this little guy....he rules. The fact that they even gave him his chainsaw is epic. Easily the best of the legion wreckers.

    I got Roadbuster the other day and it's definitely near the top of my Cyberverse list. I do think Crowbar is better, and I like Starscream better too (I know, I'm biased). Otherwise I'd say it's the best Legion figure. I love his alt mode, and the incorporation of the saw is great.

    I don't know if anybody else noticed this, but you can take the saw weapon out of the socket and place it in the "socket" of Roadbuster's hood in vehicle mode. I'll try to post a pic of this later - if I can find my camera.

    I just got Roadbuster today and he's pretty sweet! Definitely my favorite Cyberverse Autobot so far, and he's up there with Crowbar for best Legion. The sawblade weapon is awesome.

    your right! the screw hole actually holds it nice like a ball joint..Not sure if it were meant to be, but it sure as hell works.

    Good find!
