TW-T01: 3rd Party G1 Throttlebot - Rollbar.

[kup]

Wow Grind-Rod sold out from RK already. Lucky I didn't hesitate.

He'll be back (probably).

3rd Party Store still has them as well as Hegemon and an Auora place-holder

I haven't bought anything from these guys yet, but they only sell Toyworld stuff, so does that mean they're affiliated with them similar to the FP/FPC relationship?

Someone placed a Classics Hound head on Grind Rod- It looks pretty good!

I like Grind-rod just the way he is, with his fine stache, even though given his name it oughta be a pornstar stache not a handlebar one. Though yeah he could pass as Hound to with a head swap.

He really is a nice shade of metallic green too, It's hard to believe Hasbro used to make toys like this for their deluxe lines.

I'll still keep my Henkei Hound as is as I do like Grind Rod better as Rollbar but the head swap does work remarkably well.

My Grind Rod gallery with special guest appearance from Renderform minibot upgrades.

I may fill it in with a review some time later if I am feeling up to it:

I've had Grind Rod on my desk for a couple of weeks and he's really become my fav deluxe figure Plugged a spare FP Sidearm into his left port and made him an honourary Targetmaster (in Suspectimusverse ).

Can't wait for Aurora

Grind Rod is certainly above anything Hasbro is currently making. It is such a sleek and well designed toy while still being fairly simple and easy to transform.

Strangely enough, Grind Rod's design does seem streamlined enough to be something that Hasbro would be capable of making even under budget. Sadly they seem to no longer have the skill or willingness to do so.

Looks a lot flashier than what I originally thought for a throttlebot! Perhaps they'll giftset them after they've all been released at a much more reasonable price. Having said that though, I wouldn't be surprised if these guys popped up as $20-$25 official deluxes in stores in the near future
