    He was meant to look like a cheetah back in BW, too

    I agree, but I doubt they'll modify the mould. Look at some of the Ultra Magnus toys we've seen down the years.

    Fair enough... but then you'd think the wheels would be top of the priority list for paint apps?

    I'd have thought so too but they seem not to have consistency as to who gets the wheel paint apps treatment. I was hoping Takara would fix up Classics 2.0 Prowl but they didn't. I wonder what's the design decision behind it..

    Now this is what I'll use when people roll out the "Hasbro want to use realistic vehicles" comments. No truck has green wheels that match that shade of green paintjob.

    Also, to make black plastic is the same cost of green plastic.

    But I'd say it's more to do with using the same injection mould.

    For the same reason Shockwave was called "Shockblast" for a number of years, Hasbro lost the trademark to that name so they made up a new one...

    Lame.. When you think about it, the name Bombshell, as are most names in transformers. But all they are, are 2 words used to make up one. So all they have to do is put a space in between the name and hey presto, Bomb Shell. And how can you loose the trade mark to a name that you came up with... It's stupid.

    Don't the four images here perfectly sum up the whole Hasbro False Advertising complaint?

    In package Brawn still looks good, but the vehicle mode looks a lot more realistic in the photoshopped image.

    Edit: And I notice he's mistransformed in the package with his hands up (and his shoulders down) for some reason.
