Title:
Road Ranger with Puffer
Description:
Autobot Puffer / Autobot Road Ranger (Golden Disk Collection 2-pack, 2021)
Chapter 1: Through the Vortex
Accessories: Truck bed/shield, 2 Energon blaster halves
Part of the first release in the Golden Disk Collection, War for Cybertron: Kingdom "Autobot Road Ranger” is a redeco and retool of Kingdom Deluxe Class Huffer in colors based on his "G1 GoBots” multi-pack toy. He transforms from a cab-over truck into a robot mode inspired by Huffer’s Generation 1 cartoon appearance, now with a head featuring a visor and mouthplate accurate to Huffer’s original G1 toy, as opposed to the animation accurate face of regular retail Huffer.
Deliberately diminutive for a Deluxe Class figure, some of Road Ranger’s plastic budget goes towards accessories, bulked up as he is with a shield and a gun that can form a truck bed in vehicle mode. Bizarrely, his blaster seems to have been directly based on concept art for the Spartan Laser from the Halo video game series. As a carryover from Huffer, Road Ranger can tow Earthrise Optimus Prime’s trailer (or any of its redecoes).
Road Ranger was only available in a multi-pack with his mold-mate "Autobot Puffer”. This set was revealed and made available for pre-order on September 27, 2021, and was the first of four daily announcements concerning the Golden Disk Collection; as with the other sets in this series, Puffer and Road Ranger’s packaging is printed with a portion of a Golden Disk graphic, and customers are encouraged to collect all four packs to unite the full image. The set is an Amazon and Hasbro Pulse exclusive in the U.S., Canada, and the United Kingdom.
Despite originally being scheduled for a March 2022 release, the set started shipping in December of 2021.
