Transformers Tech Specs


Like Whirl and Jetfire, Roadbuster was borrowed from competing toy company Bandai (specifically, the "Mugen Calibur" mecha from the short-lived Dorvack series) and added to the Transformer lineup. This wasn't unusual at all, except that Takara was their competitor in the Japanese market, where the TV cartoon was also being shown. As a result, he was never promoted in the cartoon and lost all of his tie-in marketability.
