    I'll get it, 'cause it's awesome in its own way.

    But it's not very...Transformery, y'know? Looks more like, I don't know, a Zoid. Or a Lego brand toy.

    Looks neat. Doubt I'll be getting though.

    With all due respect to the work the TFclub people have put in, I'd prefer a somewhat simpler and more official (Hasbro and/or Takara, that is) effort. Something in the Legends scale would do nicely, even if not expected at all.

    Not as hyped as before about this too.
    That's a great idea, an updated non-transformerable Roller in Universe Legend line.

    I think this is awesome, if it's not too expensive, I'll try and get one...I'm kicking myself that I never bought the Ultra Magnus trailer, but hopefully this one won't be a case :)

    Well, considering this is a fan-made toy, they either sell it themselves or through other small retailers.

    Awesome! he just keeps looking better. I can't wait to see the real figure. I like how they've put a lot of work into roller. He's such a underrated character =D

    In case you didn't know, this Roller is by TFClub, a different chinese fan group from Fans Project.

    Fans Project are the guys who made the Cliffjumper upgrade set, the upcoming Ultra Magnus "City Commander" trailer and the Matrix and Classics/Henkei Megs gun accessories.

    Well, I think it looks like a movie design in robot mode, but a little cooler than the movie bots b/c I can actually tell it's a robot. However, judging from the company's track record on prices, it'll be out of my price range and most likely overpriced for what it is. I'm betting $45 or more easily even though it's tiny. $20 would be pushing it for me to think it'd be worth the money.

    Seriously? I can't really afford it, but $45 would seem like a steal for something like this. You gotta keep in mind, that they don't make or sell nearly as many as Hasbro would of any character. These guys have less of a chance to make up for the development and production costs. I'd expect more than $45... but at $45, I'd have to think about it...

    If only I could track down a decently priced trailer for my Optimus (20th Anniversary / US version)

    I don't think RG knows the difference between the chinese TFClub and FunPub's Transformers Collectors Club.

    Why release something non-transformable in the Legend scale? I'd rather get it as a Robot Hero if it can't transform.

    $45 sounds about right.
