While the colours are quite bland, I do like how at least two of the darker shades of blue are metallic blue. I managed to get this toy loose-mint for a cheap price, but I definitely wouldn't pay full retail for it.

This mould is really nice, but sadly much of the detail is simply lost in the lack of colours on this toy, which you can see more clearly on Legends Blurr (which was sold out when I was in Japan! ). But of course, LG25 retails for 3200JPY (approx. AU$40), whereas the Hasbro one retails here for $25~30 (although it lacks the additional drone). Still disappointing when you compare other TR/LG figures where the TR version isn't nearly as stripped back on colours as the LG version (e.g. TR Wolfwire vs LG Weirdwolf; both figures have more or less the same amount of colours, just applied differently. On the plus side, the more uniform colour on the head looks better as it downplays the Headmaster aesthetic. I prefer this... you all know why. One downside (literally) of the head is the erectile dysfunction on the antenna, at least on mine. It's prone to dropping down at the slightest touch and I fear that it will become loose in time and lose its ability to stay propped up. Also, they've at least applied more colours on Haywire^Hyperfire, who's actually the best painted Titan Master figure I've seen so far in Titans Return. However it's not a terribly G1 accurate colour scheme (save for the black boots). I would've rather seen less colours on the Titan Master and more colour on the "Transtector."

The mould is otherwise really nice. They've done a superb job in giving Blurr a sleek robot mode with a fairly G1 accurate vehicle mode. This isn't easy to do; the G1 toy achieved this by being a bit of a backpackformer and is the weakest of the 1986 Cars. It's a lot better than the previous version which was the redeco of Drift - that body was always too bulky for Blurr (although it has cool guns (especially that sweet sniper's rifle) and the IDW-inspired head). I've handled TR Brainstorm before, and I think that this mould does work better as Blurr.

Recommended if cheap, but if you're considering paying RRP then you might as well spend a bit extra and get the TakaraTOMY version.

As others have mentioned, the floating illusion on the vehicle mode is nice. I like how it has an open canopy too, like in the G1 cartoon/comics. Aerodynamically counter-intuitive for a high-speed rocket hover-car, but hey... G1 accuracy>physics, right? (cos friction can be such a drag )


I like how the shield can attach to the side of the arm and look/function more like an actual shield.


Comparison with G1


Haywire and Hyperfire; only the boots look similar


Thanks to having 5mm post weapons, G1 TM Blurr and TR Blurr can swap weapons. This should be the case with all Targetmasters (except TR Hot Rod).
