did you reverse his head 180º so that its doing a Linda Blair? I do that to mine and the cock pit fits just right in that way.

When I first transformed mine, it kept popping out but I managed to force it to stay eventually.Quote:

I do agree that he should have seen his face resculpted (even IF Slingshot's face does work as Blast Off).
Mine's still in transit, but I suspect I'll be very happy with Blast Off.
I kinda agree with you there - especially after re-watching the G1 episode where Starscream makes him out of a WWII style prop-driven planeQuote:

Swindle: "AN HOUR?!?"

Hot Spot: "I'm down with that."
Blades: "I've already seen it, but I wanna see it again!"
Groove: "Must we always watch something with violence---"
Streetwise: "Fine, Groove and First Aid can go watch the Peanuts movie. The rest of us are gonna watch Star Wars!"
First Aid: "Don't forget to switch off our phones!"

<1 hour later>
Blast-Off: "Onslaught? Brawl? Why aren't you guys taking my calls?!"
Having no G1 connection, I have no issues with Blast Off being a Jet (and I love the mold so even better).
Not having Slingshot means I don't have this configuration of the mold, so no fatigue here!
Good addition to the Combaticons :)
Yeah but I liked how in the G1 S3 Episode 'Surprise Party' Blast Off was used to ferry the other Combaticons to and from a surprise attack on Cybertron. I wish they had used him in that fashion more often - if Astrotrain can carry dozens of Cons it made perfect sense for Blast Off to act as transport for the smaller elite combat unitQuote:

As far as remolds go that have no differences besides colors its nice that they put effort into telling us why he is like this.
Mine arrived today from BBTS & now that I've opened him...
...colours are spot on. This is Blast Off.
... face is decent for Blast Off, and while a resculpt would have been nice, the colours are done that well that I don't mind - I'm impressed the canopy matches the shuttle windows from G1.
Overall, I'm happy. He's finally not a brown shuttle & now a combat plane. And yeah the face could have been something different, but it's not a deal breaker.
On like Donkey Kong!
