When it comes to
Transformers toys I love collecting figures that look amazing in vehicle
mode. I usually get regular cars that
you see every day on the street. I like
to either display them on my desk or on a shelf. One Transformers toy that took me by surprise
recently has been Roadbuster. First of
all he’s a NASCAR race car, and for that reason alone really stands out. His paint job is dashing in green and white
with hits of grey. Definitely not your
typical every day car from the street.
I had been waiting
for him for a while and knew that he would release around the time when DOTM
also released. The benefit of buying a
toy when it first releases (as opposed to buying from e-bay later) is that you
get to choose the best looking figure.
This is important to me because I’m an extreme nitpicker for
flawlessness in a purchase. I like to
buy on sale and make sure I have a variety to choose from so that the item I
purchase is perfect. Unfortunately
finding a flawless Roadbuster became a difficult task because the amount of
paint details on him increased the number of chances of finding flaws. The most common flaw being the white paint on
the side panels, which can have run-overs on the green. This problem doesn’t bother me too much
because you can fix it by scratching some of the excess off.
And speaking of
fixing all the imperfections, I would also say this figure is great for
customizing. I thought of this while I
had him in robot mode. Most of his limbs
are grey, which allows for paint to accentuate these areas. I can image I will use silver, black, and
white paint. The white paint will also
come in handy because the original paint does scratch easy after a couple of
transformations. While transforming him
is fun and easy, I found that it took me a little while before I got the hang
of things. Overall this is a great
figure to have in my collection and I hope this NASCAR/Transformers
relationship continues so one day we may see other race cars Transformers (Tony
Stewart, Jeff Gordon and Carlos Montoya).
