Robot Mode
A nice rendition of Brawl. You can either hook his cannon onto his back for a G1 look or put it in his hand as a blaster. I prefer the former and him using his double-cannon as a hand weapon. Good colours, decent proportions, but very loose arms that easily come off.

Vehicle Mode
A nice looking tank! Very solid and I like the way his double cannon hooks on the back. Really good colours and looks excellent overall.

Transformation
It is a pain in the arse to get his hips and legs to fit in to the front half of the tank, I really had to fiddle around to make it work. Overall not too bad except for that.

Overall
Because he was in the first movie we have been pretty spoiled with Brawl toys over the years and there have been some fantastic ones! This does not square up to the better ones at all, however to round out the Combaticon roster as well as make Bruticus I’d say this guy is worth getting. :)

I take it you haven't had any trouble with the torso locking into place as described in some of the earlier reviews then Trev?

Just manipulating it when changing forms - that's a bugger

I have a bad feeling he is going to be that last new Deluxe mould in the CW line.

Now We're talking. I love that the foot cannon can be mounted over the turret! Don't like the look of his elbows, but I suspect I've bought worse toys

Probably the weakest robot of the 4 in the wave, but still a nice figure; the stomach issue doesn't bug me, it's more the way his arms are done' really limits the use of his elbows :/

Great vehicle mode though!

Does he look as brown as the pictures in hand or is he more green?

Brown. Green seems to only be the CGI... depends on whether you think that's bad or good
