He's pretty great. I am not fond of the plastic but I hear its part of the policy for jets. I much preffer the first edition from Prime, he feels more solid. But the transformation of this guy is fun and i really like how everything tabs in securely. Its interesting, as a robot design, I preffer this guy a lot but for toy quality the first edition is better.

I just peeped your review. It looks like a fun and sleek figure. Shame about the plastic. Have you gotten your hands on any TR figs yet? I just opened Blurr last night and I think you're really going like the plastics being used (at least on the two deluxes I have).

I did, yesterday was a very very big haul day. I got the 3 RID TRU Exclusives, TAV33 Supreme Prime, Prime Breakdown (FINALLY!!!!!!!!) and.... TR Blaster. Believe it or not, of all those figures, TR Blaster is the one I liked least. He's not bad but there was just nothing there for me to wow at. He is basically G1 Blaster with better articulation. I know fans want that but it ends up being anticlimactic when you know exactly what to expect from a figure and get exactly that. Its like buying a redeco fo a toy you have, you wont discover it the same way. MP Soundwave was a big innovation over the G1 design, there was some cool stuff going on with that toy. But Blaster is not much of a surprise when you handled the G1 toy, or other boombox/casette player toys. The base mode is new, but I dont have other TR figures to play around in it yet.

I will copy this in the TR thread to continue the conversation there.

When Slime Boss sees a human dancing around a hot dog stand, he gets an idea. Robots in disguise, IN DISGUISE! BRILLIANT!

It doesn't fit all the way down. The torso is too broad at the shoulders, but it's fine from this angle.

I got caught up on 3p but spent less than on the G1 reissue: http://www.ebay.com/itm/US-SHIPPING-G1- ... Sw5dNWlfJW

I was feeling the same way. His pics of Ravage make him look way more awesome than he is.

That's a great photo Noidea. Do love a bit of Godzilla.

SPAAAAAACE BOOOOOOOOOOOTS

I'm not sure if I actually like Roller as part of the group, though... scale-wise and looks-wise he doesn't quite fit, plus I think I need someone in a color other than white
