Transformers Titans Return Triggerhappy Review

Finally found Brainstorm today for $18 and picked up Blurr for $9.

And before anyone says anything, yes, I have spent months sh|tting on this figure (blurr), and no, buying it hasn't changed my mind on the lackluster, nonexistent paint job - it still ruins the figure. I merely bought it for what I thought it was worth

But the figure is solid, a solid base for remolding and re-tooling. The alt mode is so sleek and sexy and I like the transformation. The bot mode is solid, but very bland, wish we had gotten something closer to the TT release, but we won't

Brainstorm is really nice, while the alt mode might be a little bulbous, it works; I prefer the gen30 version, but that's only because I have them both, for those that don't this one works well enough. But, man, he is just covered in paint, most of his parts were molded in grey and then painted teal, and the tampo's on his wings and legs are just so refreshing to see. His bot mode is more distinct than blurr, and it really helps - it makes blurr seem like eevee, and each remold is an eevee-lution

Given a choice between the two, I'd choose brainstorm, blurr is just too lackluster.

*silently waiting for Hasbro to confirm cyclones*

On another note, I actually really like folding up the wings on brainstorm an turning him into a weird batmonile lookin' car thing, it's cool, makes it look like a futuristic hotrod

Thank you for sharing I know what articulation is on figure by watching transformation of figure I skipped past articulation in video

Is it weird to say that I'm more excited about the deluxes in this line than the larger ones? I suppose it's because they're easier to get a bunch of.

I don't think it's weird at all. It seems this is the general consensus on the entire line, at least for the first two waves. The deluxes have the most value out of any of the classes and have been consistently good, on the other hand legends, voyagers, and leaders have had less of an impact due to the less than good/problematic figures and remolding.

King Kuuga wrote:The deluxes also have the benefit of being characters who were historically [x]masters, while the characters in the larger classes are representatives of non-Master gimmicks (except Powermaster Prime) being turned into Titan Masters. You've got Headmasters, Targetmasters, and Powermasters all being represented as deluxes. Twinferno and Perceptor are so far the only revealed characters who have never been depicted as any sort of Master. I don't remember who else was on the leaked release list, anybody want to help out?

I have them all right here. For convenience, I'll be listing sub-group as well:

He is. Also, I didnt know Deathsaurus was considered breastforce.

Yeah, the Breastforce refers to the chest armor/animal/Targetmaster gimmick, not just the Liokaiser team.

why is shockwave under boxsets
