Myself and Kyle have this now (separately, although it was his sighting that led me to abandon my afternoon of watching Stargate Universe and book it down to the toystore and grab one).

Thoughts to follow as I unpackage it while continuing to watch the suprisingly not awful Universe.

Okay now the vehicle mode. Looks nice, the new spoiler gives it more of a hypercar look, than a souped up streetracer look (essentially it looks faster and less shout out loud flashy). The rifle is solid and attachs under the car without fuss or scraping.

Transformation is as you'd expect from Drift. The lower profile spoiler makes the legs a little easier, and makes them look more streamlined in robot mode.

The head isn't as chinny as the pictures looked, although he's sculpted with a scowl (I'd have preferred the roguish grin that Blurr always has in IDW). The joints are looser than on my Drift, but not annoyingly so. Pistols look nice and fit in the holsters well. The big rifle is alright but I don't really like the side mounted grip.

Overall, as far as re use of a mold goes, it's the absolute ideal. It's different enough that it's definitely worth a buy even if you've already got Drift.

Have you tried out his sniper mode? I am going to buy 2 of these and modify one to make his head tilt higher up for sniping

What is sniper mode?

You can use the 2 hand guns to connect to the long gun and form a stand on the end of the gun. http://www.seibertron.com/transforme...s-blurr/19587/ about 6 minutes into the video.

Cool little gimmick that I don't know if it is in the instructions, and if people know about it.

That is awesome. Ta.

Sorry Griff, I didn't see the thread on the first two pages when I started mine, I assumed there wasn't one.

The feet are big enough that you can put Blurr in a series of really cool running poses.
