I just saw this posted by Anavel over at ToyboxDX.com fourms, CM's corp just showed a prototype of a new Mugen Calibur toy from the anime Dorvack at the Tokyo anime fair.
Better known to Transformers fans as Roadbuster of course.

Please be aware that;
a) No price/release details are known
b) It may not even Transform
c) CM's corp are not cheap.

 

Kool, About time you starting posting news again FM 

 

Lol, thank you.  
Most of the news comes out of China these days though.

 

It's a CMs Brave Gokin figure. I'd imagine it will be very faithful to the version of the mecha shown in the series, with a lot of extras to represent many of the key abilities etc. I would be quite confident that it will transform, somehow, though a little parts swapping may be required.

 

Hopefully it (as well as the Battrain & Baldios they showed) will be in the $100-$150 price range like the Patlabors and GoShogun and not the $650+ of their Dancouga Nova....

 

Yeah, I did notice that it was a BG but I was thrown by the Dannyboy Nova next to it which doesn't appear to be the perfect transform one.
This Mugen Calibur also looks like it's a very early stage prototype, arms don't appear to have any articulation for instance.

I haven't brought a CM's toy since their early GGG though, I've kinda gone off them a fair bit, hope this will be good enough to make me want to try them again.

Given that it's not a complicated combiner I imagien it should transform but I didn't want to explicitly state that in the news post.

Also that Dancouag Nova to the right of it has a 8'820yen price tag so it look like they'll be a much more affordable (albeit non combining) version on the market soon.

Finally Yamato has even cheaper Dancouag figures planned of both versions

Transforming, even partforming, = instant sell.

Without...maybe. Roadbuster is teh awesome.

 

Doesn't look like it will transform, but if it does I'll def pick one up!

 

i hope whoever Whirl used the mold of gets a new toy too.

 

Sweet... if it transforms and it's in the $100 to $150 price range I'll probably bite. Roadbuster was one of my first Transformers as a kid and (even though it's not an official Transformer) a new version of him would be cool. Just add repro Autobot sticker!  

 

I never even knew about Roadbuster untill I discovered the internet and online fandom in general but it is a great design and one I would definitely buy.

 

Cool. Personally, I'm hoping for a Classics 2.0/Universe update of Roadbuster at some point, but I'm not going to hold my breath for him. It would be easier and cheaper for me to get ahold of, lol.

 

I love the G1 Roadbuster toy (own 2 MIB) and if the new version has Classics-like articulation and reasonably priced I may just get it.
