Takara Transformers Unite Warriors Blastoff New Images

Sorry for filling up the comment section with my comments but I realized that my monitor's screen was a little stretched and now that I fixed that I take my comment back Blastoff's chest and feet aren't as large as I thought.


So sorry for any comments about the Blastoff mold.



Still don't think it's leagues above Hasbro's version but it's a nice alternative.

They didn't carry over the shuttle nose-to-hands thing that made him so different for me - that's what made blast-off blast-off; without it, he looks like a cartoony aerialbot wannabe


But I will get any hasbro release of it, I just won't buy the UW set for it

One bit thing for me is that his arms, all of them, are still just plopped on the side of the shuttle. All that beef, and they put it in the chest and lower legs yet can't hide the arms? I feel that is a let down

Well, based on his legs, I'd imagine he uses the aerialbot transformation, so where would they put the arms... if they had kept the toys thing of having them become the cockpit, or allowed them to fold under the cockpit kibble, it'd have worked

Speaking of Aerialbots Blastoff kinda looks like they just took the base Aerialbot design and flipped it around.


Obviously not the actual case but it kinda looks like it.

I like it. Blast Off will be my favorite. Cartoonish aesthetics are what I prefer.

He seems to keep up an aerielbot skeleton, just heavily reworked. And I think they could have done the nose up so it did turn into the arms, with the shoulder locations and all

Well the same could be said for UW bigroove and offroad, but I agree, they could've had some shenanigans where his arms became part of the cockpit or something

I meant where the jet kibble is usually on the back and the combiner peg is the chest on the Aerialbots it's flipped around on Blastoff.

He was responding to my comment about how the arms could have been better incorporated into the nose of the shuttle, and was comparing that same sort of arms could maybe have gone elsewhere comparison with those guys, who had large sections

I gotta be honest, I like him a lot. His chest is a bit big and the arms outside the shuttle aren't great, but I love the rocket feet and his head sculpt. The head was the main thing that made me dislike the Hasbro version.

I'm in the same boat with you. Reading all of these negative comments about him makes me feel like I'm in an episode of the Twilight Zone. This version of Blast Off looks as good (or bad, depending on your viewpoint) as the rest of the Combiner Wars deluxes do.

Something is off about the head sculpt to me though, but it's much closer to the original and is leaps and bounds better than the Slingshot repaint we got from Hasbro. I feel like they generalized his features, I wonder if this head mold will be used for another upcoming figure (maybe Killbison or someone).

It'll be interesting to see how this mold gets reused upteenmillion times over the next year or two.

So, wait, how exactly does the tail fin get from his ankles to the other side of his body in bot mode, also, where on earth does his nosecone go
