    I received my Revolver A.K.A. Not Roadbuster, today. Damn!!! Aside from the ball-joint hips being a tad loose and the waist swivel being a touch fiddly, this is one hell of a damn fine figure. TONES better than the Hasbro Roadbuster, that I have. The Core figure (powermaster??) that comes with is a really cool addition to the mix and Hasbro's Roadbuster's weapons fit on him in vehicle mode nicely, sprucing up the otherwise naked looking tank. 8/10 for me!!!

    Great! Just be careful when attaching the guns in the backpack holes...some people here have pushed it in too far, got stuck, and broke their guns.

    I've loved mine, Riftshot and Recoiler were totally worth the investment too. I may end up picking up the 3rd party deal just so I don't have to strip them down to make Uberbuster.

    I did it is a really nice kit, as well as giving the twins a little more in the way if differentiation because they get to keep their armor bits.

    Too late, I already did it, but I was able to extricate the weapon with no damage. I would prefer that the peg hole be 5mm but its workable!!

    From now on, other than Function X figures, I will always wait till prices drop for FP figures.

    I got it from a friend for a real good price that just cant be beat, so I was very happy. Had to do a lot of fixes on the joints though, added gorilla tape on many joints, and maybe some future on others. Havent had problems with it since, he looks good. No extra armor for me, I prefer him in bot mode without, though in alt mode, he would look better with, but he spend most of time in bot, so all good.

    Just got this guy today and somethings been bugging me... Has anyone figured out what plugs into the bottom of the pistols? Both pistols has these square peg holes around the ammo clip area... but I cant find anything that plugs into them.

    The pistols also have pegholes on the sides of the gun that are a similar size... again it alludes me what could plug in there. XD

    Does everyone have this little imperfection on the bottom of the chest piece? Just wanna make sure that I don't have a defective Roadbuster, it looks like the spot where the piece was yanked from the sprue.

    Just got him during the bbts back Friday. Pretty sweet figure. How many of you recommend the Shadow Fisher kit?

    I wouldn't recommend the Shadow Fisher Kit, unless its heavily discounted. The armor components fit on pretty well on Revolver but it cant hold the weapons very well. Even the gun (which is actually pretty cool looking, imo) isn't secure in the Armor-mode mitten-looking hands.

    I briefly had Riftshot and Recoiler, and the added armor from them, while neat, really worked best in alt mode. Using it in robot mode was a bit awkward to me.

    For the price the Shadow Fisher kit usually goes for, I wouldn't recommend it. If you could get it for around $30, which I guess it about half the usual sale price, then it'd probably be a decent pickup.

    The figure looks much nicer with the Generations Roadbuster head on it. Nice pic!
