Proof that a stubborn fan can come in all ages. Though I love Beast Wars now. I feel dumb for telling people not to buy me Beast Wars toys as a kid...

Bought him with my own money and everything. Even if his original toy doesn't have the best mold, he'll always be my favorite. For nostalgic reasons of course.

Maybe someone like Generations Drift or RTS Tracks could work too though their robot mode might be too far removed, what with the car hoods being their chests, which is why I went with Hot Shot I’m thinking that their cars are closer together in asthetic for the switch to work.

Even the flames on the front make this seem like 'ol Roddy is just going through a blue period. I wonder if the Universe Hot Shot mold they used last year for Dion would've been a better fit.

I'm not even huge on Side Burn, but this toy is beautiful. I wish they made stuff like this for the Cyberverse line (that being all I can really afford to collect these days) Damn I wish I had this.

Samurai with a riot-shield > generic blocky mecha. Don’t worry, RiD Sideburn, I still think your toy is better.
