    Default Review - ROTF Brawn

    love this guy. gun in alt mode doesnt adjust. Same with bot mode but looks cool(comes over his sholder). He has two hand pistols that can come out. Looks tough. MUST BUY

    Review - ROTF Brawn
    Series - Hasbro TF2 Revenge of the Fallen
    Size - Deluxe
    New/remould/redeco - New
    Wave -
    Released here - Now
    Approximate Retail Price - Deluxe class price point
    Approximate Size -
    Allegiance - Autobot
    Alt-mode - 4x4 truck mode - with gun
    Main Features/Gimmicks - Mech Alive (can see the shoulder joints inside when moving up or down)
    Main Colours - olive green, brown, some gold
    Main Accessories - 2 hand guns can come out, something to look out for down the track in 5 years when purchasing one ;P
    My Difficulty rating (out of 5) - 2
    Stability - good in both modes
    Poseability/articulation - Very good
    Playability - Nice transformation. Quite playable in robot mode.
    My Thoughts - Very good looking vehicle mode. Robot parts are exposed underneath but you can hardly tell buy looking from the side. Good looking armour tough guy with dog-like/predator face. Poseability is decent. Recommended.
    Overall Recommendation Rating (out of 10) - 9 (Buy it)

    thing i dont like is the doors as back kibble, can make it 'back heavy'?

    Besides the obvious awesomeness, he's great too for anyone wanting to assemble a fleet of NEST vehicles (also ROTF Ironhide, Armourhide, in multiples... I'm looking at STL )

    Yeah, this guy's the bomb in so many ways. He's incredibly articulated with double jointed elbows, shoulders and knees. He's armed to the hilt with two rockin' pistols plus a sniper rifle on his back which either integrate or stow in alt mode.

    While he's got virtually no paint apps in alt mode, virtually none are needed as the right color plastic is in the right spot. The gold paint in his robot mode and the gray metallic paint on his face are tasteful and blend with the other dark colors. He's got a funky head mold.

    This guy is pure awesomeness!

    Kurdt pointed out a cool way to stow his pistols on his back in robot mode. I took some pics to make sure I understood correctly:



    There's so many tabs and slots on the gun and on the inside of many of the kibble panels that I suspect there are many other stowable positions.

    I don't mean to upset the apple cart...but I find Brawn...well...
    kinda disappointing.

    His alt mode is pretty sweet...but he's pretty much a shellformer
    with a lot of kibble on his back and arms. I also have to state
    that the hip joints on mine are really loose which added to my
    overall disappointment.

    May-be he just seems that way after opening the basically
    kibble free Lockdown...but I just don't dig him that much.

    Don't worry about upsetting anyone. We all have different tastes. I similarly found Lockdown to be unimpressive. Similar to your Brawl, my Lockdown had some flaky ball joints. Between that and my general disappointment, I actually returned him.

    With Brawn, his incredibly articulation overrides any potential issues I would have had with his kibble:
