Transformers Colombia, a Facebook fan page, has provided the first official in and out of package images of the upcoming Generations Voyagers Roadbuster and Sky-Byte, plus Legends Class Acid Storm with Venin and Gears with Eclipse, courtesy of group member Felipe León Nájera.

Roadbuster has been desired since G1, especially a complete one due to some of his very small accessories being an absolute pain to keep or obtain, so this is big news for a lot of people. He's a nice G1 update figure that's been in high demand and now, our wait is just about over.

Sky-Byte is a fan favorite due to his characterization in 2001's Transformers Robots In Disguise television show, based off of Takara's Car Robots that had aired in 2000. Sky-Byte was originally a redeco of Transmetal 2 Cybershark, but this time he's getting his own brand new mold!

Gears is another fan favorite, but this time, this little guy is scaled to work with Titan Class Metroplex, and is a redeco of the previously released Swerve. (You can see the galleries of Metroplex and Swerve by clicking on their names.)

Acid Storm is a redeco of Starscream, based on a random background character used in one episode of the original Generation 1 TV show. (You can see the Starscream gallery here.)

We've mirrored the images below:

Why can't it be straight, not curved?
Always jumping, blah.

So am I the only one who thinks a little silver or white to the shark eyes will let them pop? Plus, it's accurate to how he appeared in the cartoon.

This was seriously the best image I could find. :oops:

With a different robot head sculpt and and making the shark body more organic than robotic. I can see Sky-bite being repainted as the original beast wars Cybershark (one of my favorite beast wars characters). And even if the shark head doesnt get remolded into that of hammerhead, I still would like it. Since one of my problems with the original BW Cybershark was that the shark mode look to bulky for a hammerhead, but for a Great White I think it will look really nice! I would totally be sold on that!! :DANCE:

If they wre gonna redeco him into Cybershark, it'd be a completely wasted opportunity not to make him into Transmetal 2 Cybershark.

You are totally right!! I was but that would be... how do I say it... Like it would be to easy you know, just a repaint. And dont get me wrong this looks Awesome already, and I would totally buy both. But I think doing some remolding here and there (especially to the original BW) would make the 2 characters look totally different rather than just a repaint. But thats just me haha

First of all, why is Acid Storm's partner called Venin? I thought his name was going to be Bugly. :???:

Also I believe that Hasbro has put a lot of money in other toy brands including Transformers (specifically the Prime and Generations line). When they realize that they have little money, Hasbro would make cheap, simplified toys when children claim that "the Transformers toys are too hard." :roll:

So once Hasbro is comfortable with the money that they made, they'll make as many toys for the new Transformers cartoon (coming out in 2015) as they can. Simplified or not. :SMUG:

That Sky-Byte makes me sad. He's one of my favorite characters, but the toy just looks so terrible. It doesn't really improve any on the original (which wasn't that good itself), and ends up looking incredibly cheap in comparison.

On the other hand, Acid Storm and Venin Bugly makes me glad I couldn't find/passed on Starscream and Waspinator. Now hopefully they don't get lost in the oncoming Movie flood...

LOL at all the haikus!

Gears will be bought, and Roadbuster is already preordered. I hope he comes with a sticker sheet like Whirl, though, he's looking a little plain without an Autobot symbol.

roadbuster & sky bite ill be getting (if i can find them & the prices didnt go up) but the others ill have to pass cause i still feel $10 is way to high for them.

Roadbuster look interesting but I will not camp in front of the store to get him. I LOVE Sky-Bite. I own the original toy and it's very good, although a bit pannelly. However, it's still pretty much perfect. Was that update really nessessary? I know myself and I may buy it anyway.

As for the Legends... Wawn... Repaints...

Re: Official Acid Storm, Gears, Roadbuster And Sky-Byte In Package Images (1574515)
Posted by T-Macksimus on May 15th, 2014 @ 9:11pm CDT

Gears will be a "must buy" for me. I might as well snag him now before the only versions of him will be some other horribly screwed up attempt at an homage in some later line.
(TF Prime/BH Huffer can go suck a lug-nut. What a hideous POS that that was)
I want to pick up Acid Storm but...my god, that green! :SICK:

Does it come with a volume control becauase that color is just too friggin' loud.
Now Roadbuster... that one I'm impressed with. Not perfect by any stretch but it's close enough that I'm willing to consider it the worthy replacement for it's original. It shows that there might be a bit of hope for this Generations line after all. Not much but a little bit.

Must resist shiny pretty packages

Only gaff is that the pic of Gears on the package doesn't really match the figure.

Oh, and I think Venin is supposed to represent Venom. Those are Bugly's colors but they've been switching around the color schemes on all the partners.

Roadbuster - I will get him but I think I like FP Revolver better
Gears - I guess I will go ahead and get the MakeToys Gears and Swerve now
Acid Storm - ?why?

Heh, Acid Storm's not loud enough!
Seriously, I wouldn't mind if the black was replaced with radioactive yellow and he had acid burn decals instead of just stripes ....even if that's even less accurate.

I agree. And he clearly has a rather simple transformation for his size. He's definitely not on par with Whirl.

Now that I'm looking at his head up close, it does look like an attempt to match Gear's usual model. There's the two nubs on top and the thin frames on the cheeks (which are normally red).

It's just that they crammed it all into a tiny head inside that larger piece on top of his shoulders. Really his head should be wide enough that it tops the shoulders themselves. That would've required some remolding on the figure though.

Funny story, he's actually G1 Insecticon Venom, but he was renamed "Venin" for trademark reasons. The colors are closer to G1 Bugly thanks to last minute deco and ID changes for the toys: Acid Storm was originally planned as Thundercracker, but along with Tailgate and Gears Hasbro probably thought "too much blue!" After the change Waspy was color-coordinated with him, and ended up as a Bugly homage. Suits him better actually.

Gears' new head is supposed to look like Brawn's since there's a planned Brawn redeco coming from it.

Because the designer who made Whirl and Roadbuster wanted these two to be as close to their G1 versions as possible (with modern day engineering level, of course), and so wanted them to have decals because that's what the G1 toys had.

Basically, these aren't merely G1 Generations toys, these are GEEWUN Generations toys.

Man, nobody can get Gears' head down right. Maketoys failed, and here's Hasbro failing. Well, at least the Maketoys one has the toy inspired head right. I'll just stick to that for now.

Hasbro's Roadbuster looks like it will easily be worth the $20-$25 price. FP's Warbot does not look like something that's worth $100, especially with an alt mode that looks like a brick on wheels.

I'll agree that Hasbro Roadbuster is not the greatest, but given the alternatives are a repainted combiner limb that I've never seen in stores anyway, and an overpriced FailprojectFansproject figure, I'll put my money on Hasbro.

Meh, his head was always just a flat slab with a face stamped on it. Not exactly Starscream's beautiful bevented bonce. I'll take something different any day.

Not sure whether to go for this or the MakeToys figure. The MakeToys version is obviously much higher quality, more poseable etc (and I love the transformation) but it's only available with Swerve, a character I don't have much of a connection with (I should really read the comics, or at least I would if I knew where the hell to find them) although saying that more TFs is always good, and I don't care much for official characterization anyway. Also it's much more expensive. The Hasbro version does look fine though, and it's much, much cheaper (although I don't care too much for the targetmaster thing...I guess I'll have to find an alternative gun for him).

Decisions, decisions...

Everything else looks good. Sky-Byte looks great. and Roadbuster looks pretty good too, good enough for me to probably pass up the FP figure (Recoiler and Riftshot on the other hand...). Acid Storm I'd rather have something bigger (either the Classics figure or do a custom on a bigger jet, maybe even represent him with Armada Thrust).

Posted by bvzxa on May 16th, 2014 @ 1:44pm CDT

When I get Hasbro Roadbuster I'll compare him to FP. Unless you own the FP version you really can't talk. Even without Riftshot and Recoiler Revolver can stand on his own.

Re: Official Acid Storm, Gears, Roadbuster And Sky-Byte In Package Images (1574728)
Posted by Evil Eye on May 16th, 2014 @ 1:52pm CDT

Eh, Revolver looks a great toy (although I have heard he's a tad loose in places) but he's also very, very expensive. I'd personally rather get Hasbroadbuster and then get Recoiler and Riftshot so at least i have some incarnation of the Revolver mold (and also those armour pieces). Also, original characters are always cool.

Why can't people talk? I've seen him plenty to know what's good and what I don't like. Still might get it depending on how disappointed I will or will not be with the new Hasbro one.
