Just to note: It's Brawl that hasn't have the gun because the barrel of his gun is his hand weapon. The gun he's holding in the video is for Vortex. Also, Blast Off's blaster in vehical mode is stored in the nosecomb because of the blaster's mold has wheel.
For the Bruticus Leg, I recommend to use Onslaught method of locking the leg, It looks taller and much better proportion between the leg and arms length. While still very posable, its only downside is you can't do too dynamic pose. Try it, it looks great while stand up and holding Shockwave as gun
I know a lot of people dont like Onslaughts arms being seen on Bruticus but dont sacrifice those secutiry tabs his chest offers. I lock the chest and the shoulders and rotate onslaughts arms to the back of Bruticus. it hides his arms and give the back a vague homage to Fall of Cybertron Bruticus who had wheels on his back, twitter.com/Matty0984/status/683778193631776768 twitter.com/Matty0984/status/683778193631776768
Brawl has Vortex's gun. Did you try turning the foot piece around when trying to make a flight stand for Blast-Off? Word you were looking for was Blast-Off could be a retooled/repainted Seacon. Always noticed in the cartoon Bruticus's chest was the colors of Blast-Off. And Blast-Off become more of a cylinder when in arm mode, which made me think he split his wings off for the chest. Gotta say the Hasbro one has grown on me though, wonder if he'll get a solo release. Hate the Hasbro's Bruticus head, but like that Takara lighter grey helmet.
I actually really like the US bruticus because it's not just black, it's gunmetal, so when he's in full robot mode and standing closer to the light of any given room, it looks more silver.
I don't mind Blast Off being a jet. It makes more sense as part of a team of combat vehicles than a space shuttle. You've also sold me on UW Computron. I was waiting on Blast Off reviews so I could see how Strafe is going to turn out. How are your Onslaught's knees? Does he have the Victorion misassembly? That might be what caused the stress mark.
I don't mind Blast Off being a jet either, BUT Hasbro really missed the opportunity to at least give him the correct head and not a repaint of Slingshot's - that's what kills it for me. The head is one of the most important parts to me and has to look like the character.
I prefer the original Blast Off cartoon look than that Jet repaint bullshit. Takara just makes everything better. Its why I got the UW Superion and Devastator sets
PrinceTrunks26. that they do, for sure. I would like Takara's Computron but it's just too expensive for me right now. I really wish they would sell the bots individually so I can pick them up one at a time. For me, it is less impact on the budget that one big $165 bot...
Brawl's gun is his tank turret. You have him stealing Vortex's gun in the video. I'm waiting for the right moment to ship mine over; trying to see if I can grab all the Hasbro pieces since TRU has a 25% off sale going on until Thursday. :D
they wont. best bet might be holiday season as an online exclusive like Slingshot, Wildrider and Groove but considering the G2 redeco is not getting shuttle its highly unlikely well be receiving this figure. personally im fine with that. i have no issues with Blast off as a plane. The shuttle looks way too big as an arm and after seeing the legs dont lock well i see no loss.
My Blast-Off head keeps trying to come off, plus it really feels like this was rushed. Parts that are supposed to be lose seem VERY stiff and the parts that are supposed to stay stiff in transformation become lose. But I guess I may have to get another one later. But the upgrade kit is AWESOME.
Yeah, I'm really disappointed in Blast-off because of the horrible issue of loose pegs in the legs. I'm trying to see if floor polish will hold then together better. Worse case I'll just put BW's B-O in his place.
It's the first and hopefully ONLY time the I've been disappointed with Takara. I'm somewhat glad I missed out on the first release of Computron that's coming out next, if Takara going to go the way of Hasbro's engineering process sales will drop sadly. Plus I hate Blast-Off's hole hands....Why??? But I do recommend Perfect Effect's upgrade kits, their AWESOME.

This looks like an epic set! A really good review! I I'm a big fan of the original G1 cartoons. I'm seriously considering getting one of these sets.

Takara Computron will be the LAST combiner I get till they make Predaking
I hope Shuttle-Blastoff will be available much like Groove was. I don't much care for UW Vortex or Onslaught, but def want Blastoff...
I want this whole set I really like blastoff swindle and onslaught

nice job diecast, looking forward to more videos from you!
Hopefully shuttle blastoff can be released by Hasbro
I already have the Hasbro Bruticus, I just hope they release Shuttle Blast-off over here in the states..asap!
they wont trust me
So negative...

Smoke screen sorry dude
They released UW Groove, so shuttle blast off isn't impossible.
The gun you gave brawl looks like vortex's in
The other Hasbro bruticus
