Description:

TakaraTomy ID number: TL EX-03
TakaraTomy release date: January, 2023
Accessories: 2 Energon blades, front tire/Energon blaster
Velocitron Speedia 500 Collection ”G2 Universe Road Rocket” is a redeco and new-head retool of mainline Legacy Prime Universe Arcee, that transforms into a ’90s-style sportbike motorcycle. She includes the same Energon blade accessories as Arcee, but with additional paint decos in the center to resemble a shuriken.
Unfortunately, she does not include a buzzsaw weapon like the original figure. Road Rocket features Generation 2 Autobot symbol decals accurate to her origin universe.
Hasbro designer Mark Maher noted that when it came time to determine retools for the Arcee mold, it was Takara veteran Hisashi Yuki who put forward the idea of using one of the alternate heads to redesign one of the Laser Cycles as a ”female ninja”, with Road Rocket ultimately being chosen.
The Velocitron Speedia 500 Collection was exclusive to Walmart in the US, with Hasbro Pulse receiving limited quantities of the figure. The series went up for pre-order on July 21st 2022, and started arriving in stores by August 1st.
The original version of this mold was redecoed into Shattered Glass Collection Decepticon Flamewar.
