I really hope that's not a final production unit...
Paint aps could be nice if done right, but look sloppy for now.

This has a decent paint scheme in car mode, and at least they made him look evil. But no. I can't see shelling out cash for this figure, which really sucks because I love the Shattered Glass concept, they're just picking really crappy molds to go off of with some of these.

And I like the idea in theory, if we hadn't already gotten a G1 style Blurr from that mold in Cybertron. The black evil version though...I suppose I must have it if this is true.

Well, remember, its just Blurr's mold. this could very well turn out to be Prowl or Sideswipe, who knows.
I don't have this mold in any form, but I hear its a great one.

It is indeed an awesome mould. I'm sad that I only own the Armada release though. The cybertron one is so damn awesome.

I wouldn't say it's a great mold, but I wouldn't say it's a bad one either.
It's a nice mold really, but has a couple of things that don't do it any favours.
As for this repaint, I like the lightning, the alt mode does look good. But the eye patch? No thanks. To me it just seems very pirate-like and it's failing miserably there.

Ricochet? Not a character I care about.
Razorclaw? He got a serious demotion from savage predacon leader to ... pet cat?
Blurr? I like the mold and paint. The head sculpt looks good too, but why Blurr? Like Ricochet, the character does not fit.
Grimlock? Understandable character choice, but I think the Trypticon color scheme was a mistake. They should have gone with mostly black with splashes of red or orange (like Titanium The Fallen). I'd even settle for some blue (like his G2 counterpart).
Since I have not seen the others, I will reserve judgement. Megatron will be a must, but I wish there were more Decepticons.
It looks like the lineup I will keep (so far) is Prime, Jazz, Goldbug vs. Starscream and Megatron. I'll be satisfied with them. The unseen figures are a toss-up right now. I eagerly anticpate seeing the Armada Wheeljack redeco.

lol, yeah, I wasn't aware that Autobots could bleed red blood either. But that does give Bay a great idea to do a TF Pirates of the Carribean crossover.

I'm glad I got the Cybertron version of Blur, but I never need that mold again.
It is OK at best. Kinda crummy articulation (it originally Armada, so that makes sense) and lots o' back kibble.
Kind of a neat looking car though.
Classics Magnus/Skywarp 2 pack MIB
Classics Devastator MIP
HA Sideswipe K-Mart exclusive color Loose
Currently looking for:
ROTF Target exclusive Sideswipe from the 2-pack
TFCC Punch/Counterpunch
Alternity Primes, silver & white versions
(opened is OK, to be used for customs)
PM If interested

Sideswipe as a heroic Decepticon? Are they on crack? Just name it after one of the Stunticons and be done with it.

He has hands that hold his guns, not with standardized fist holes though. It's just the angle that make him look like he has guns for arms.
