Unite Warriors Bruticus and Blast Off revealed

[MEEEGGGAAATTTRRROOONNN!!!]

Is it just me or does the Robot mode look terrible? He looks like a thin robot wearing cardboad boxes. The huge feet too.

Maybe it's just the grey-prototype looking picture but I think I could pass on it, or wait for a possible Hasbro release.

I'm more put off by the shuttle mode, what with the arms hanging straight by the sides and trying to incorporate exhausts into the fists to justify them hanging there.

Shuttle modes not great, but it's probably the best we could expect for a Combiner Wars mold, this is till one better than the Arielbots for at least attempting to hide robot kibble.

Well I love it a hell of a lot more than Hasbro's lazy attempt. Can't wait to get him in 6 months.

I wonder if we will get a Runination repaint out of this set?

Definitely agree with you both! It may not be the best mold, but it's definitely better than a repaint!

I'm glad I decided to wait for this one. I didn't mind the fact that CW Blast-off was a fighter plane, since it makes sense in a team of military vehicles. I was turned off by the fact that Hasbro made him a redeco of Slingshot. A new head would've been enough.

I'm not such a stickler for G1-accuracy in this case; I want unique moulding for Blast-off.

From the other page of the same magazine (showing Optimus Primal), at the bottom of the Bruticus section says Onslaught will include a loader (trailer part) just like the g1 toy

Given the constraints of the basic Deluxe limbs while remaining faithful to the G1 design, I must say that Blast Off looks fantastic. Thankfully for my wallet I'm not interested in Bruticus.
