Most likely deluxe scale considering their past releace of Gears (whom I quite like).

Blurr is a neat character, but I feel he's represented well inough in his Generations mode.

This was my feeling, too. And that feeling hasn't changed with the color renders.

The Generations figure is great, and as a rough "Classics" representation, does just fine.

Holy crap! That is not what I was expecting. I'd love it if they swapped those poxy little thrusters for the two giant fans of the IDW version, but the very least they could do is get rid of all that yellow. It has no place on Blurr.

Cybertronian Blurr! Nice!

I will buy this awesome little update to G1 Movie Blurr if hes priced about the same as their Gears homage.
Cool looking, updated interpretation, modern engineering, highly posable, Neo-Classics friendly, yes please SXS!

Wow. That just might have me. I really like Generations Blurr, but I miss the Cybertronian hovercraft...

I am so getting this !!!

This beats the crap out of a Drift repaint with a weird IDW head ! I'm not digging the yellow windows but it's not a deal breaker. If they repaint it more G1, I would buy a 2nd version to go with my Targetmasters as well.

This looks pretty awesome.. I wish he was more slender though.

I agree, but this look is more like a 6'4"- 230lb beast of a wide receiver who can run a 4.1sec 40yd. A beast but fast as all get out.

OK SXS, you have my interest. Let's talk

Wow ! it's been a while

Hrm....That makes him MP, right? I might be interested in an MP Blurr, but I'd prefer to see it from Has/Tak. Suddenly I am even less interested in this. Deluxe size could have me intrigued...

Too big for my tastes.

So an MP that isn't slavishly G1? What's the point of that? I guess you could just say it's a voyager sized Blurr, but that's too big too.

I was excited for this, but if it isn't deluxe it isn't for me. As far as I'm concerned this is another swing and a miss for SXS.

Looks cool but pointless like everyone else stated.

I like my Classics Blurr. And even if I didn't, he's not important enough to me to want to upgrade.

Oh hell no !!! This was supposed to be deluxe class to scale with their gears. Total fail. Getting sick of all these non cartoon accurate MP figures. They would have so much potential if they were shrunk to classics scale. MP collectors want cartoon accuracy so this is kind of stupid. Should have been deluxe because drift blurr has to go, but this aint it.

Could use another Blurr.

Doesn't that by definition make them not MPs?

Think this SXS Blurr is a Deluxe scaled toy. MP Sideswipe is only a 6.4 inch tall robot mode. Blurr next to MP Sideswipe looks like a Six inch tall robot mode. 2.0 Deluxe Cyclonus was a Six inch tall robot mode.

Don't need this, as SXS Blurr is too close in height to the HasTak Generations Blurr toy. Generations Blurr was a tall deluxe robot toy and almost Six inches in height.

If 3rd parties expect me to spend those 3rd party prices. They need to offer me something different than the HasTak toy versions. If SXS Blurr was a Voyager scaled toy around 6.7 inches tall in robot mode. Maybe with the added Alternators, Human alliance car interior like seats, steering wheel, dash board,rear view mirror,stick shift, rubber tires, side mirrors, tail pipe and other items. Then I might have considered buying it.

So youre saying MP sideswipe is really small ? How small is he compared to classics/universe sideswipe ? Any pics ?

I was referring to the trend started by warbotron of making MP scaled figures that are neo instead of cartoon accurate. It seems to defy the whole point of the MP line.

Seibertron took several with his Masterpiece Sideswipe gallery. MP Sideswipe is significantly taller than Classics. I'm not sure what Tsutsukakushi is thinking.



(This is also why I do not value the inches with decimals measurements. Are they to the head, shoulder, backpack? Plus, inches are measured in fractions in the US, not decimal. I'm pretty good judging a quarter inch. .3 inches? Photo comparisons are the best, in my opinion.)

Damn, I was hoping he was actually right.

Oh well, money saved.

looks like 3P is hating on you and the classics scale these days
