    Would be nice to see the photo before it had been photoshopped. It's nice to see that his alt-mode is cleaner looking than we had previously seen. The side panels certainly help that. I don't plan on getting this, but his Legion figure is definitely on my to-get list (he'll be my Classics Roller).

    He's an Autobot from Transformers: the Ride in Universal Studios Hollywood.

    It's Roadbuster's, Sideswipe's, and Jolt's baby. :lol 
    Seriously though, he looks really nice.

    Not bad. If that photoshop is a rough indication of the color maping, then I'm going to need to give him some small detail highlights. I'm also a bit worried about those shoulder wheels getting in the way of the cut swivel joint at the shoulders, but other than that, I think he looks really neat. I also love the truss-style frames on his legs, very unique.

    He's the new Autobot from the Movie ride at the Orlando Studio parks. More specifically, he's the vehicle people sit in during the ride.

    I wish! :lol 
    For now it's only in Hollywood and Singapore, but I hope they bring it to Orlando some time in the future! As of now I;d have to go across the country for a 5 minute ride :lol

    Some about this fills me with a combination of Dejavu and 'Meh'.

    He looks pretty nifty. The only things i'm worried about are the likely unpainted grey plastic that will plague the arms and lower legs (that can be solved with some detail work) and the chest. It looks like there's a bit of a gap between that red painted section and the upper part of the chest. It could just be the mock-up, but we'll see.

    This mold looks really nice. Lots of repaint potential as well, assuming it is available at regular retail.

    I'm excited mainly so we can get a 'accurate' movie Roadbuster.

    It seems that it is a Universal Studio Exclusive.

    No, he's mass release. We're not having another Aveo Swerve incident on our hands again.

    I thought the bottom picture was the packaging, and the Universal Studios logo looked promising.

    Looks like a solid toy.

    And I thought Deluxe Evac was a Universal Store exclusive?

    Which means, of course, people who live in the area will definitely be getting a lot of middlemanning money.
