Blast off makes a lot of sense as a jet. The space shuttle was just too dang big of an alt mode.

All the other manuals were typical glossy paper, Prowl's is a cheaper seeming non-glossy type. Not a big deal, it's just weird that his is different, even from Sunstreaker and Mirage that were from the same wave.

Seems to be about the same size as the other components

My Sunstreaker came with flat paper instructions, I assumed it was standard for wave 4 (he's my only wave 4 purchase). Sounds from your comment like it's not, which is weirder.

I just couldnt resist.
But you know guys in all honesty, I do not understand why people need to bring up the idea of realism in a series where a sentient robot looks like this:

I didn't get onslaught. Did anyone preorder him or did he not come in yet? Honestly waiting on the running change.

There's supposed to be a military type Spaceshuttle that isn't the size of the default "Astrotrain" type. And if you follow the original show, Blastoff never served to transport the Combaticons. He just pulled the asteroid they were exiled to remember? Now if he was a mass shifter like Astrotrain, he would have had got his buddies in him.
So the oversized Blastoff argument does not hold water.

Well, there was that ONE time...
Then again, that scene also has all the Combaticons AND Bruticus in the same shot, so I guess we'll call it a wash.
Basically, it depends on how much you're willing to spend on a (rumored) shuttle, as opposed to the more widely available jet. I'll be happy with the domestic release.
I think you will. I feel pretty confident that Hasbro will do to Takara Groove and Blastoff, what they did with Brake-Neck and Quickslinger.

I had heard the rumor that one of the reasons deluxe Groove was out of Hasbro's hands was that it incorporated clear plastic, putting it out of the standard deluxe price point. Don't know if The true or how much clear plastic offsets the cost, just what I remember hearing.

Believe me, I hope that doesn't end up being the case. When this same year they distributed two exclusives through online retailers fairly successfully, I find it hard to believe that they could find a way to get these two out.
It'd be one thing if it was just a Japanese exclusive, but a group-only mall exclusive? THAT'S low.
