    Roadbuster does look pretty neat. :)  Can't wait to get a hold of him.

    Looks excellent with Whirl, and I think he'll look great with Warbot Defender. But Hasbro's Springer is way, way too large in comparison.

    Never was a big fan of the character, I guess..didn't really know him until a couple years ago, so the real appeal is lost on me - but he looks much nicer than in the official pictures / ToyFair. Nice!

    Yup, these pictures beat the stock/Hasbro ones. Sealed the deal on me trying to get him, looks big and tough.

    Agreed. Roadbuster is a candidate to bring the old ultra class out of retirement.

    Maybe its because I'm on my phone, but he doesn't seem nearly as lanky as before.

    So glad I decided not to get the MP style Mugen Caliber Version (it was in Dorvack colors anyway)

    Wow, I was going to get him already, but now I'm really stoked! He looks really good in your photos... Better than the stock release promo pics!

    Looks better than the stock photos. Except for the daffy feet. What the hey, I'll get him.

    You took the words right out of my keyboard. The promo pics made him look spindly and delicate. In these pics he looks chunky and rugged, which is exactly what I want out of him. This went from "I might get around to him" to "this is a priority" in a hurry.

    I plan on getting this one, adding wrist swivels and a LOT of weathering!

    This is going to make for one SERIOUSLY KICK-A$$ porject!

    I find nothing exciting about this figure. Maybe when he gets a repaint.
