I think the paint apps are 100% better than that ugly Energon blaster! Though, I still won't buy this. There's no real reson for me to do so. Fun for kids though!

I passed on the transforming blaster, so this one is totally not going to be a part of my collection

ERK! Wrong. I was just in TRU tonight and they had the Blaster there. So either it's not an exclusive, or Hasbro has finally done something right! They have given a US store exclusive a wide release in Canada! :APPLAUSE:

Okay.. I get the idea of repainting the ole' Energon Blaster, but c'mon.. 2 darts? Maybe if it was a 20-dart holding blaster i might take it.
