Bootleg GF Roadstorm

Just got this yesterday.

 

Carded:

Alt Mode:

The Force Chip Gimmick was disabled for this toy and replaced with a light effect on the chip slot.  The Force Chip weapon can still be raised but manually.

He also comes with an Energon Star, like the bootleg RM Road Rocket and Doubleface

 

Bot Mode:

The rear wheel section needs to be detached to transform him in Robot Mode.  That section is also packaged detached from the main body, as well as the handlebars and the side pods

 

Size Comparison with C-Thundercracker and Hotshot:

Roadstorm is big enough to be ridden by Marvel Legends figs, or...

 

Thundercracker and his new ride:

I can see this as a perfect model to kitbash into Wreck-Gar because of its size.

eww

 

road storm to me is only cool cuz of his realalistic alt mode and basic size

 

this KO removes both (ever see a bike with a red tranparent side to it?) plus what colours they have changed just make him worse IMO

I don't have the original, but based on pics of the real thing the fake has gold upper arms and lower legs instead of silver, both the exhaust/weapon and Force Chip gimmick cannon is unpainted save for the latter's cannon tip which is painted black.  Also the headlight portion is unpainted and is instead of clear red plastic.

 

BTW, this one came with a barely painted Speedia Force Chip as opposed to the Earth Force Chip of the real thing.  The bootleg GF Gasket on the other hand has an Earth Chip.
