Title:
Roadbuster 1st
Description:
Roadbuster (MechTech Deluxe, 2011)
Japanese ID number: DA09
Accessories: MechTech Blaster/Assault Saw
Part of the first wave of Dark of the Moon Deluxes, Roadbuster transforms into a NASCAR Sprint Cup Chevy Impala stock car, specifically Dale Earnhardt, Jr.’s #88 car with Amp Energy drink and National Guard sponsorship logos. Like the other NASCAR-based DOTM toys, Roadbuster lacks the multiple small "contingency” sponsor decals found on a full-sized NASCAR racer, although he does have NASCAR Sprint Cup Series and National Guard logos.
As part of the MechTech series, he has a spring-loaded blaster weapon deploys flip-out "chainsaw” blades when a lever is pulled; however, the blades cannot lock in the deployed position. Aside from holding the weapon with his hands, there are also three MechTech ports on him, one on his roof, and one on each door, and all of them fill in when there is not a weapon inserted in them. He also features C-joint-compatible 3mm rods in the supports for his (non-firing) back-mounted missile pods and under his hands. The wheels on his legs can also be swiveled down on to a lower peg, although this impedes his backwards leg articulation due to the wheels colliding with his car shell.
The back missile launchers can still deploy while in vehicle mode to form a Stealth Force-like configuration.
The Japanese release comes packed with a character card and an accompanying transparent plastic card of his MechTech weapon for the MechTech Wars online game.
His MechTech weapon was redecoed for Dark of the Moon Thundercracker, and was differently retooled each time as Dark of the Moon Arcee’s and Vortex’s weapons.
