Without these pieces you'd have a very dull truck (take a guess why I'm loaning a toy for this review). In this mode the only pieces that are meant to detach are the cannon and its radar dish, but the seat and back plate (where the cannon mounts) are also detachable. One thing that really counts against Roadbuster on the whole is the sheer number of detachable pieces. The wheels roll reasonably well, giving Roadbuster at least some play value in this mode. A single green cannon sits on the back with a detachable radar dish, unfortunately it sits in a fixed position and cannot be aimed. The level of detail here is fairly low, but the attention to detail is quite good, as evidenced by the decals, distinct wheels and tyres and various elements of the sculpt such as the headlights and a set of missiles sitting on the right fender. While this is a colour scheme atypical of G1, it works quite well. The brown fenders in this mode are actually die cast metal, the rest of the brown - including the steering wheel and seat visible in this mode, are a well-matched shade of brown plastic. The tyres are black plastic, over green plastic wheels. Included amongst the transparent plastic decals is a large one with an Autobot symbol, on the hood. The colours gel quite well and there are lots of transparent model kit style decals with fine detailing adding to the overall look. Thanks to Griffin for loaning me Roadbuster, making this review possible (mine has no accessories).Īn army green, brown and orange assault truck, Roadbuster mixes his three colours is about equal proportions.
