Title:
Road Hauler
Description:
Road Hauler (Voyager Class, 2022)
TakaraTomy ID number: TL EX-04
TakaraTomy release date: January, 2023
Accessories: Blaster, claw, nozzle
Part of the Transformers: Legacy Velocitron Speedia 500 Collection, Road Hauler is a slight retooling of Earthrise Grapple, transforming into a neon green crane. Road Hauler features a tad more paint apps compared to Grapple, as well as a retooled head that is in a screaming expression for some reason we presume. The pegs on Road Hauler that connect to the feet in the vehicle mode have also been changed to that of the Kingdom Inferno mold’s; as they are shorter, much sturdier and far less likely to break off.
Road Hauler comes with the same accessories as Grapple: the claw and nozzle can peg into the 5 mm ports on his wrists once the hands are folded away. The claw can also peg into the crane’s boom when its hook is folded down.
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. Road Hauler shipped in a single-character case of six toys, rather than the normal 3/3 split with fellow Voyager Override (who also shipped in her own single-character case).
Hilariously, Road Hauler’s rendered product shot on the rear of the packaging appears to have both the nozzle and claw attached to his left arm at the same time, with each accessory clipping through the other.
This mold was also used to make Generations Selects Artfire.
