Description[]

Rockster is a contemporary off-road SUV. In 2013 the casting was retooled, changing it from a tab-post design to a post-post design. The roof was made a part of the main metal body, and the front bumper was made slightly bulkier to accommodate the front rivet post.

According to designer Eric Tscherne, Rockster was his take on a Jeep-like Hummer model, and was originally intended to have a full fabric roof with removable doors à la Jeep CJ-7. The front grille of the casting also resembled that of a Hummer, but featured raised slots as opposed to recessed ones; this was later changed to a generic grille on the request of GM. The name of the casting was actually intended to be Roxster but Hot Wheels's legal team forced the name change to Rockster. The logos on the side of the initial release were nods to members of his family.

Despite the grille design change, the Micro Rev-Ups, Micro Madnetics, 2011 Rev-Ups castings of Rockster used the original vertical bar design. It was also featured on the card art for both the 2010 and 2011 mainline releases.
