Robot Mode
Oh geez – they didn’t even give him a new face! The body looks ok’ish but he looks like an Aerialbot dressed up as a Combaticon for a Halloween party!




Vehicle Mode
He’s a fighter jet now . A stinkin plane . Maybe it makes more sense given the rest of the Combaticons alt-modes (it did always seem odd to have four military vehicles and a space shuttle) but Blast Off was always distinctive as being one of two Con space shuttles from season 2, not yet another jet that there were already plenty of. Dissapointing. I’ll be hoping Takara remedies this. You can put his big rifle under the wing to approximate what the G1 toy did but you really need a second one for the look. The only positive is that they did the colour very well.



Transformation
Transforms like an Aerialbot

Overall
They really just phoned this in and went to bugger all effort - except for the colour scheme nothing about this toy says Blast Off. Don’t get this figure unless you want to make Bruticus. Go get FOC Blast Off instead.
