Talk:Roadbuster (DOTM)

Preliminary names

I removed the following note, as it was ungrammatical and I wasn't sure if it was true: "Early working name for him was intended to be Warpath". If this is true, feel free to re-add it after correcting the grammar. --Khajidha 19:33, 3 July 2011 (EDT)

The Wreckers are listed under two names in the credits, Final/Working. Not entirely sure which one is called what.--Nevermore 19:10, 5 July 2011 (EDT)

The Wreckers are listed in the credits by their final names and their primary sponsor ("Roadbuster/Amp" and "Leadfoot/Target"). No relationship with the production art identifying them as Tempest, Warpath and Flash (and note that both Roadbuster and Steeljaw are labelled as "Warpath"). Along with the Shockwave art labelled "Blitzwing", the Megatron art labelled "Cyclonus" and the Soundwave art labelled "Breakdown", it seems very likely that these were all "smokescreen" names intended to prevent unknowledgable Paramount/ILM employees being able to tell other people which characters were going to appear. -LV 19:17, 5 July 2011 (EDT)

Redneck

Roadbuster isn't a redneck!

Hahahah

I knew that it would happen: protect the page against me. =)

Roadbuster or Leadfoot as the leader

While, yes, Roadbuster is the highest ranking of the Wreckers in the toyline, it's Leadfoot we see giving orders in DOTM proper. We... er, well, I don't mean to style myself as a regular member of this Wiki like Walky or someone, but, it could just be noted that Leadfoot is the one giving orders in the film, despite Roadbuster being the highest ranking in the toys. Personally I think Leadfoot is the leader.

i don't see how "Wreckers, kill 'em" is a real order. "let's get some" is about as much of an order as it. CrowBuster 17:39, 3 January 2012 (EST)CrowBuster 76.186.90.217 21:58, 15 November 2011 (EST)

Orange Version

Why is there no mention of the orange version of the toy? I saw a hundred of them at Wal Mart. Bioniclepluslotr 13:05, 25 November 2011 (EST)

It's there, there's just no picture as of yet. --Khajidha 14:08, 25 November 2011 (EST)

Helmet

the toys seem to have an entirely different 'helmet' than the CG model, which covers the head more and has a generally less baseball cap-ish look. then there's also the fact that the movie shows him with red eyes, but his eyes are blue on all the toys and merchandise.

Image

could i change the first image showing Roadbuster and use the last one in the section notes?user:Shockwave1704

Well, now, that wouldn't make any sense, would it? It doesn't show him in his finished colours, and isn't a good representation of the character as he appears in the film. - Chris McFeely 16:23, 13 March 2012 (EDT)

Please stop uploading useless images. —Interrobang 16:24, 13 March 2012 (EDT)

ok thank you--Shockwave1704 16:56, 13 March 2012 (EDT)

Survival?

Wasn't Barricade also used as a template by KSI? That along with his card not showing deceased points more to him being alive than dead imo. --Nickster563 (talk) 23:31, 27 August 2021 (EDT)

No, those blueprints are fan-made, they're not part of the movie universe at all. Original thread that they came from can be found here. Fanofcoolstuff27 (talk) 01:21, 28 August 2021 (EDT)

Ok thx for the clarification because I was really confused why the page had changed, looks like some guy saw the fan images and changed the page but thankfully it's back to normal.
