For the next installment in our Titans Return galleries, we’d like to share a photoshoot of the Legends class Autobot Roadburn.
Roadburn is something different. He’s a red remold of Titans Return Bumblebee, who – shockingly – is not Cliffjumper, but rather, one of the Throttlebots, Chase (renamed to avoid confusion with the Rescue Bot). The deco works really nicely on the mold, and the new head is a nice throwback to the Generation 1 toy. We’d even argue the mold works better in red, and that the black trim on the vehicle mode is the icing on this robot cake. We also do not think this is the last time we’ve seen this mold – while the deco is Throttlebot Chase, the head has some cues from Chase’s fellow Thottlebot, Freeway – and we’d love to see how this mold would look in Freeway’s blue and grey deco.
For now, though, check out our photoshoot of Roadburn:

Anyone else, as a kid, thought Chase was Cliffjumper remade like Goldbug was Bumblebee? No? Okay.

I will say I'm shocked we got no repaints of bumblebee no gold bug that's surprise hasbro can never resist give us repaints of bumblebee figure where there is bbmbleee cliffjumper and gold bug are not far behind to follow
Same hear bumblebee prime and starscream only figures I can withstand to be repainted into differnt figures with new names waiting for cliffjumper head haven't been there in while wouldn't shapeways have anything for this bumblebee?

I'd have preferred the animation model face. I'm holding out for a Takara release, hopefully as a dedicated Throttlebot set.
Rated X
If they werent planning to give us all 6 throttlebots, honestly I would have preferred cliffjumper. Bumblebee worked out so well scale wise that its a shame we cant get a cliffjumper to go with him since were finally getting all of the remaining minibots. Cmon Renderform, bust out a cliffjumper head for this guy.

Great figure but suffers from teh same illness as most legend basic class figures: NO gun(s)
For the pricepoint hasbrol is selling these i want at least 2 weapons!!!!

I got this guy the second he was released. So far of the legends class titans return figures I'm finding Brawn & Roadburn to be the best of the batch. That been said I did order Seaspray and Kickback too, but of the ones I have thus far I'm really liking Brawn & Roadburn…
Starscream 91
Freeway, Searchlight, Goldbug, come on Hasbro get on it! Chase is sitting lonely on my shelf.
These two are probably some of the better Legends to have come out in recent years IMO.

I've said this previously:
Other than the original Chase of Throttlebots, give the dude a new head & we could have a Generations Mudflap.
AutobotAvalanche
He IS better than BB.
I'd love to see Searchlight, Freeway, and Goldbug from this mold as well.
Black Convoy
He looks better than BB for me…. tempting….
transmasterc
I have Roadburn opened and I think he is a fun little transformer.

I prefer the original Generations Legends mode for Bumblebee, but I have to say, this Roadburn is awesome. I have a choice to make between Roadburn and Brawn at my local store. These photos are excellent.

Roadburn with a Renderform gun. I wish Roadburn had a gun as standard, but fortunately I've plenty of Renderform accessories to go round.
Roadburn with Bumblebee. As much as I like the Bumblebee version of this mold, Roadburn's deco wins it for me.
