The anagram for his name is actually clever

A bit miffed that he doesn't come with an optional face plate but not a deal break as it looks good and I am sure Dr Wu or another will make one.
Yer, I agree, isn't it a homage to the anime version?Quote:

I thought the face plate rumor would end up unfounded. Fansproject don't bow to fan pressure as easily as some.
In this case while a face plate would be nice, this toy clearly screams Brainstorm to me, moreso than the Toyworld one, even though it does have a nice face plate.
Anyway looking forward to it, the two previous releases may not have been the most fancy 3P toys on the market, but they were both extremely fun to transform.
I am looking forward to it too. Despite the lack of face plate (face plate would have been my preference) I do like it better than the TW one. The 'X-Wing' look didn't work for me although I don't see it as bad as I used to.
I'm with everyone else on faceplate issue. the face sculpt for brainstorm is reallllly orange and he looks reallllly unhappy..
the other issue is that when transformed, his wings fold up into his legs/feet and i prefer winged characters to have theirs wings out. he looks so grounded when posing with his guns.
the one thing i do like about toyworld's brainstorm is that the wings/thrusters can be vertical or horizontal in robot mode.
