iGear has updated their Facebook page with some prototype pics of MW - 03 Hench, aka G1 Brawn. It continues the tradition of considerable show accuracy however it does appear much larger than the previous Mini Warriors. No word yet on price or availability or if the increase in size will result in a price hike. Check out the pics or below or click here to view iGear's facebook page.

This is absolutely my favorite from the MW line up.

WooOhooO! Finally a perfect scale for the classics! :APPLAUSE:

Sun Mar 11, 2012 1:11 am

Now thats the size I want !!!

DAMN he's looking good.

Looks like I've got yet another thing to look forward to, and depending on release dates look for at Botcon :3

THIS is nice. Seems like a good size. What is that about? Large scout or small deluxe. Sucks that Hasbro won't even try to make these themselves.

Wow he looks fantastic i am loving the new size. It's more like a small deluxe. I would like to see all of the mini warriors in this size, including the already released Huffer and Seaspray, but with an ability to store their weapons in their altmode. I like that Brawn can do that tho i would like it if it weren't visible, like having it store underneath or perhaps on the back of the jeepmode?

You mean more like a new Hasbro Deluxe sized! :lol:

Seriously though, the official "deluxe" scale is now my personal "scout" scale.

The stored weapon was more out of necessity. It needs to be there for the inevitable Outback repaint.

Perfect

i will never want another Brawn just get rid of those Cosmos colours and Finally Windcharger will have a Classics scout to hang out with.

Whats up with the scale for these guys they keep getting slightly taller than the next its not a bad thing since Brawns is perfect but it would have have been one of the best lines ever if they were all his size.

This, boys and girls, is the Brawn I have been waiting for. Very nice indeed!

Sun Mar 11, 2012 10:32 am

The one I've been waiting for, too! Come to Striker!

Very cool.

Sun Mar 11, 2012 11:55 am

Must have both of 'em. Still stuck here waiting for igear spray and ranger from my supplier. >:oP

Echoing the choir here, he looks like a home run. Really enjoying the new scale and I agree with Rated X. Although I already bought the initial release of Seaspray and Huffer, I'd buy them again at this size.

News Credits: 1 · Sun Mar 11, 2012 12:35 pm

Man these two figures are SO bought! Brawn is the size that you wished the first incarnation was. Cosmos is just cool.

Holy crap you're right! Interesting.

I'll third that one. Hench will look amazing with Classics Bumblebee and Cliffjumper, but now I'm worried RTS Windcharger, Spray, Rager and UFO will be too small. It's really hit-'n'-miss.

Now this is the size class that I want.

I'm in...I'm ALL in! :APPLAUSE:

I agree 100%, lets get these goings iGear. And hurry up with my ironhide and ratchet too.

Also, thats what she said

Looks terrific

I think I got more excited about this figure than anything put out by Hasbro since the next-to-last wave of Generations. I'm hoping, like many of you, that iGear re-releases not-Huffer and not-Seaspray in a larger size. I'm not saying this to be redundant, but in the hopes that iGear sees how many people would be willing to spend money again to have these characters in a similar size.

Excellent work iGear! Can't wait to see a pre-order for these.

Major coolness. This not-Brawn (and it appears not-Cosmos himself) is just the right size to be in league with Classics/Generations Bumblebee and Cliffjumper.

Like everyone else, if they release not-Huffer in this size, (as well as a follow-up repaint, not-Pipes) I'd buy it, just like I plan on buying this not-Brawn and not-Cosmos. I'm satisfied with using Voyager RTS Seaspray to stand with my Autobots for now.

I'd really like to use this not-Brawn with my Autobots and remove the ROTF's Brawn from the bunch. And if a repaint/possibly a head remold is created to make a not-Outback, then I'll be able to get rid of the repaint of ROTF's Brawn, RTS's Fallback, and replace him with the not-Outback.

That Q&A panel at Cybertron Con 2012 might not "condone" what these third party groups are doing, but until Takara/Hasbro gets it right, we hardcore fans are going to keep buying from the third party groups.
