RoadBuster or Impactor ?

I got alot of help from my fellow cybertronions with me rodimus and now i would like some hepl with this one.
i was going to make him into RoadBuster but when i was looking at comics trying to see how to mod him i came across another fella that could work as well.
the Last Stand of the Wrecks comics.
the former leader Impactor would look good aswell.
so i need some help figuring this one out so hook a brotha up.
and im going to geek this up a bit
ba weep and weep nini bong

Roadbuster has always been a fairly sleek robot I think the arms would do more justice on Impactor for this mod. Plus it's a figure that has never been made before! Win win

i do think he would do a good Impactor his head is not high enough for him but is sunk in like on roadbuster.
then again i do have the gray hulk so i could try both.

Re: RoadBuster or Impactor ?

Meh...I dunno...there's a good road buster our there (Universe 2.0) where if given a nice new head and some more guns works good enough for me. I don't know how soon Hasbro would make an Impactor toy so I'd sway that way...hands are a little too big for him though...

Do what you think is best...or hey...get a second one and do both.

Re: RoadBuster or Impactor ?

i honestly think that mold works better for impactor,minus the hands.just keep in mind,it's quite the head ache to get rid of the spring loaded shoulders.i also have the same hulk mold for "impactor,i even went so far as removing his right hand and adding a light up bionicle spear.once i got the the fore mentioned shoulders,he's been shelved since,minus right hand and all

but if you're interested in roadbuster as a "bigger" bot than universe 2.0(cdf hotshot),i'd say try to find the marvel captain america mold.it fits it really we'll,along with a kit that's available from a member on tfw that'll make him into r/b that much more.the last one here i seen that blew my mind was done by autobotx23.
maybe try hitting him up,you never know till you ask right?

Re: RoadBuster or Impactor ?

You definitely have something here. I can see the combination of the two...so choosing which would be hard.

Overall I think Impactor may be the better choice, even the transformation will be close. The head, shoulders, and legs are all there...just modding the arms and adding paint and you'll have it.

Re: RoadBuster or Impactor ?

I have to go with impactor on this one. The shoulder cannon, the general physique, the fact that Impactor doesn't get enough love...
