No this is a retool of TR Blurr, already shown off in the rumor mill

well it looks dam close to that 3p figure!

it kinda now makes me wonder what mold they're gonna use for Trypticon? Diabolus Rex maybe?(Yes! OK! granted....i was being sarcastic! + that's not titan size).

Is to go with your other tarilbreaker

By the way guys, remember how the other pic had the front of the jet by his arm? I guess that means the end of the nosecone detaches. Thats an easy (but lazy) way to turn Blurr into Brainstorm.

Why is that lame? I think it's clever especially they give him a shield blaster that way instead of kibble.

I didnt say lame, I said lazy. Because its partsforming for the alt mode.

I have to give them credit. It's one of the more creative retools I've seen.

It's not partsforming to me when something becomes a weapon or something like that.
Is Generations Thrilling 30 Trailcutter's shield blaster also partsforming to you?

What 3p figure? Blurr is a Hasbro figure.

the main body looks very much like SXS R-02 Overclocking! now it could just be a coincidence? but they're are similarities

Maybe because SXS oriented at the G1 version and TR also does this?!

well you can argue semantics all you want! but it doesn't detract from the fact that the last use of that mold....was with a 3p figure!

now! at least in the creative USE of this mold....we'll probably get to see this figure(with it's remnants of Overclocking) released in bricks & mortar stores in the UK, while up til now...people have been shouting "BUT YOU'LL NEVER SEE A 3p FIGURE RELEASED IN PHYSICAL STORES WITHIN THE UK!" so i guess they've found a creative way to release this one

although it does now make me wonder what other 3p molds they'll creatively use for Titans Return

overclocking shares nothig with titan returns blurr mold except that it's blurr. sxs ripped of hasbro to make their figure but hasbro has nothing incommon with that design except that its based on G1 blurr just like sxs did. animated blurr had a shield weapon and so did G1 blurr.

When did this become a thing? I am intrigued.

I really think you are overthinking this. A 3rd party figure and a hasbro product are shooting for the same exact thing. Of course they will be similar. But that in no way means that the molds are relatable. They both shoot for the cybertronian G1 cartoon Blurr, and they have to look similar since they are going at the same thing. And just cause they look alike means nothing. The hasbro version will have to be much easier to transform as that is their MO and the 3rd party one a more difficult one. Plus the hasbro one is a headmaster, whereas the other is a regular blurr.

This has nothing to do with a 3rd party fig. This is a new mold then reused as Brainstorm to accomplish the original look and aesthetic.

AT LAST! A NON-BISECTED PICTURE!
