The MMC train doesn’t appear to have stopped, as today, once again via ToyDojo, we have a brand-new product reveal.
Dicamus here is retool/redeco of Titanika, meant to represent the IDW incarnation of Roadbuster. With a new head and a color scheme appropriate for the aforementioned Wrecker, he looks very cool indeed.
We have pics of him in both his robot and vehicle modes for you to check out after the break!
Update: We’ve attached more photos that have been provided by MMC’s Facebook page.

No the extra head was standard

Finally got this guy for an absolute steal but unfortunately he's missing his weapons, what are the chances of mmc being able to replace accessories, i know they are good with parts for recent figures but accessories may be another story
Also does he come with an alt head or something ive seen both brown and green
ChromeMagnus
It's nice but I just hope one day soon we get finally get a 3P G1 MP scaled Roadbuster.

Just an absolutely fantastic figure. I did a few things to massively improve the enjoyment of the figure. I added a bit of shock oil to the arm joints which really helps you feel like you're not wrestling around the armor pieces nearly as much.
The shoulders really don't bother me too much and I think it's easy to get it into some really good poses. The big unfortunate thing is the complete lack of paint other than two places. The two places they decided to paint are the worst possible places being on the backpack where they'll be scratched by the shoulders and on the rotating armor pieces on the hips. The armor pieces on the hips should have just been cast in green plastic it's very strange that it's orange plastic painted green. Also I feel like they got the final product out and then realized how underpainted it was so they added a gloss to the chest to make it look more premium.
The positives are numerous, he is a very imposing figure with a lot of heft and Mass and an incredibly bulky and awesome alt mode to match. The sculpted details are quite good and are brought out especially when it has some paneling. The alternate head and leg configuration are pretty cool too as you can swap out the head and the legs and make it look like perhaps a pre-war roadbuster and a last stand of the wreckers road buster in one. The gun and missile pods are pretty decent. It would have been nice to have more launchers and a machine gun or missile racks but oh well. Also the gun is a little fragile so watch out not to break off the front like I did.
Objectively I would say he's an 8 out of 10 but based on how he fits in with my collection and what I've done to modify it I'd say it's a nine or a 9 1/2 for me

Seconded – As much as I enjoy mine the thin rifle doesn't do him proper justice, and the one I wanted to get (dr.wu TFP Magnus' rifle) is hard to find.

What are those black guns? They are sick!

I would try a dull coat spray before you started sanding anything. I don't think you could just sand off the gloss and leave the paint color. The gloss is the yellow/orange paint, not on top of the paint. You'd have to repaint the chest if you sanded. Wrap the limbs, etc. in some paint masking tape and hit the chest with spray of dull coat.
MadMaximus
Thanks, nabbed him new for $90 free shipping

Ebay, there are a few.
MadMaximus
Is anyone know if there's a way to remove the glass coating, maybe with a fine sandpaper has anyone tried that?
MadMaximus
Is anyone selling theirs?

Love these 2 together

FP's "Roadbuster" is a stack of boxes upon boxes, with no cohesive shapes to tie anything together. The alt-mode is a joke, with those tiny half-tracks, and the utter pointlessness of spinning front wheels but no caster wheels on the rear treads. It's like a proof-of-concept model that the designer just gave up on when it came to the styling phase.

Haha….I don't think it's that bad but it is a little blocky. Replacing FP with MMC was a no brainer though.
Hope MMC do Wrack n Ruin.

And also kinda shit. I mean, it's well-built, but stylistically the toy looks like nothing.
DogFriedRice
Essential for any Wreckers team.
The FP one is too small and the Hasbro one is shit.

Snazzy stickers!
damn straight! love the simple solid handling. almost surprised myself that I could transform him right out the box, without instructions, without parts feeling like they break, zero sweat.
also love his alt head!

I only have two Fanstoys, Grinder which obviously has a great & simple transformation, and Koot. The drinking comes after transforming Koot.

Mmc figs are generally pretty good for that. I don't think i could claim that for too many other 3p makers.
I love these moulds (Roadbuster and Whirl) and would have sprung for them if I didn't prefer having Strika and Obsidian versions.
