I have slightly modified this figure so the guns on top of the vehicle mode come off and peg onto the minicon port on the arms of the robot. Then, I have him hold the knife with the blade pointing down, like he's getting ready to stab someone.
if anyone knows where i can get the add ons by nato-bot, please let me know! i cant find them anywhere. Great review btw, this is an awsome figure, way better than the first one.
my cyber key doesnt work for my cybertron defense hotshot. i have to pry open the turret its just poking the side with a tooth pick but its aggrivating.
I've seen all the G1 episodes and he wasn't. Roadbuster was a G1 character. There were no other characters named Roadbuster. He wasn't in the cartoon because of the same reason Jetfire was heavily modified and the helicopter Whirl never appeared in the cartoon.
hmm... the green color repaint looks nice on this car...i for one who usually dislikes repaints for once actually think this car in green/orange color kinda looks nice....its more Army-esque.
the original Hotshot colors looked weird (although it was supposingly an armored car...)
I dig this figure but I agree that the face looses me, The upgrade kit that nanobot is making sound really awesome and would want to get that if I'm able too.
i was initially very excited to get this figure but ended up being disappointed a bit due to his limited articulation and his green colored face (he looks like he has stomach problems) i might have to put some silver on his face
you're right about the "value" assessment of both 2-packs, when i got them, i thought i'd like the dirge-roadbuster more, but ended up liking the ratbat pack more.

yes, but he is not "exclusive" meaning you can only buy him at target, because i have seen him in zellers, wal-mart, and Toys R Us

I love this guy - easy to transform and looks more robust than Ratbat. Ugly orange, though.

Dirge also seems to get killed a lot. Although sometimes he comesback with no explanation. He sometimes blows up or crashes.

I still own the original Hotshot mold, so all those repaints aren't a must for me.
