I guess I like both takes on the robot toy genre. Of course, I'm also one of those crazy people that liked the non-transforming Action Masters back in the day...<br /><br />Excellent blog, as always!Vintangohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02075183172208715394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17425853.post-68160072110706342942010-01-12T10:13:09.567-08:002010-01-12T10:13:09.567-08:00Hi Dave, thanks for stopping by and dropping the k...Hi Dave, thanks for stopping by and dropping the knowledge..! awesome. I was not aware of Roadbuster. Looks cool. While I understand what you're saying about getting rid of transformation for the sake of figure aesthetics, there are many examples of transforming toys that look awesome in either mode. <br /><br />This Warbot Defender is a great example and it transforms into three toys...!!<br /><br />http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=FPJ10013&mode=retailtoybot studioshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17674808218680318646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17425853.post-24452122841517712772010-01-12T08:59:56.973-08:002010-01-12T08:59:56.973-08:00This is pretty awesome!

The original toy was called "Mugen Calibur" from the Dorvack toyline, and it looks like it got translated as "Mugen kyariba" above. (I only know that because I just referenced this page: http://transformers.wikia.com/wiki/Roadbuster Thanks internet!) Looks like "abolish transformation" just means they decided to focus on making the robot look great without paying any attention to ability to transform. I am in full support of emphasizing the robot form like this, especially when they can make such cool poses...Vintangohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02075183172208715394noreply@blogger.com
