    All the G2 Combaticons have purple camo splotches! But Onslaught's got to be the greatest eyesore out of the lot. Blast Off is just weird... in G1 he was coloured in dark 'army' colours, which makes no sense for a space shuttle. Then in G2 he was given a more realistic black and white colour scheme, but then covered in those stupid purple splotches! It wasn't finally until 2000's Car Robot that the mould was reused for Car Robot's Shuttler (RiD Movor) and was given a more realistic colour scheme and even re-entry burn marks. Hasbro's version kept the same basic colour scheme, but exaggerated the burn marks. But then Hasbro went and released the Universe version which makes the toy photodegraded and covered in giant snakes.

    Just got my hands on a Generations Roadbuster and the build quality unfortunately feels a bit cheap. His shoulders in particular are held on by a single pin that serves as a rotation joint in transformation and both of them are surrounded in stress marks.

    All the other joints within the arms are either ratchet joints or tight swivels so there's a lot of pressure on that pin whenever you move his arms.

    Another thing that doesn't come across in the stock photos, those wheels on the back of his thighs poke inwards a good distance, so he has to either keep his legs spread or not have his wheels folded away fully. Otherwise they overlap between his legs.

    Otherwise he looks pretty good. Nice sculpting around the torso & shoulders. It's very 'less is more', but it works to make him look like a muscle-bot. Face is good. Weapon selection is great. Just be super careful with those shoulders.
