Block out Brawn's head with your thumb and you'll see it.

It actually looks better when you block out Brawn's head....like an ED-209.

LOLtastic!

Bottom line is that Hasbro and Takara don't have any plans for an in-scale Brawn for the ole Classics shelf any time soon. Best to pick up an iGear version.

Why doesn't anyone care about scale any more? (looking at my tiny Shockwave, Classics Tank Megatron, FOC Prime...)

Given, I know it can't be perfect... but maybe ONE size class up for leaders? They could easily do multiple sizes for Prime, because they know we'll buy them. How about a complete set of legends minibots, because they're just little cheapo figures?

Ugh

That head looks very out of place, like a hooker at a Star Wars convention.

I'm just used to my fellow fans whining about everything. I'd even go as far as to say I'd miss them if they left the message boards and various other websites and went about their daily lives whine-free. >:oP

Cause at that point you would just have everybody saying how awesome Hasbro is no matter what they do! It would be almost like a cult. Except without that whole mass suicide thing

by **orangeitis** » Fri Aug 10, 2012 4:25 pm

Uh... no? Hasbro's not awesome. I mean it's just a toy company.

Not sure why you would even say that.

A couple months ago everybody was going head over heels for FE Bulkhead. Now it's the devil spawn, because the head is different.

I don't expect everybody to like everything, or agree with everybody, but when people start to disagree with themselves because the head is different.... They need to consult psychologist..

Seriously, the head is so offensive, a once praised mold for its greatness, and cartoon accuracy is now complete crap?

Anyway, I like it, if I can get my hands on one I will. And if this may be the only way to get FE molds rereleased over here then fine. The head to me is fine, sure it's not Primish, but it works to identify the character, and the color scheme is close enough to bulkhead for it to work as.ri,e Bulkhead.

Look at it this way. Let's say we take your girlfriend, who has a a great body and is the object of affection not only to you, but also your friends and replace her head with that of Sylvester Stallone.

You get points because that was funny, really funny. :lol:

But totally not the same thing at all. Still I don't mind the head.

I’m not sure why you consider a new head sculpt to be lazy.
A straight repaint would be lazy, calling the character a name that has a weaker visual identity could arguably be considered lazy (Powerdive, while lovely, contained very little Powerdive for instance and few people minded).

Sure, Brawn may not work as Brawn (I’ll reserve my opinion until in hand photos surface) but to call it lazy is incredibly unfair.

But honestly, call this the straw, because to hell with this forum.

I’m honestly not sure how everyone summons such vehement hatred for anything produced post circa 1988 on a daily basis and I’m honestly not sure why the loudest and more obnoxious fans feel quite so entitled and deserving of Hasbros undivided attention, especially considering just how loud and obnoxious they are but the bile that comes from this forum is inexcusable.
Not everything Hasbro produce is pure gold but the way this forum reacts is just embarrassing when you consider that behind the keyboards are not 12 year olds but chaps in their middle ages with 12 year olds.

Yes, you have opinions and I’m sure it’s a lovely and unique snowflake of a thing but take a deep breath before posting, considers maybe, that this limited release retool is not the worst thing to happen to your family, that Hasbro is not threating to drown a loved one unless you make the purchase and show an ounce of **** class before responding.

But like I say, my toys have long exited the pram, so carry on.

How is me calling it lazy "incredibly unfair"? I think your "incredibly sensitive"!
It's a new head on Bulkheads body!! Now if that isn't lazy then what is?

And where is all this vehement hate and bile your going on about in the forums? I can't believe how F**kin righteous and noble you think you are!

Me calling the release "piss poor" is loud and obnoxious?? FU and i'm glad my post was the straw that broke your back?! Good!! i'm glad i'm the guy who did it to you and it's hopefully making you pack your bags and leave the forums! whiney prick.

And coming here on the forums and telling all of us your opinion on how absurd and immature you think we are doesn't make you the better man or whatever you are. Just makes you an arrogant a**hole.

Now that's my example of what hate and bile with a dose of loud and obnoxious actually looks like.

I meant that is what it would be like if everybody that complained, griped, or said anything negative about Hasbro went away from all the forums...not in general. Hasbro has a lot of ground to regain before I will consider them "awesome".

lol sorry 'bout that. I'm getting very paranoid these days. Can't tell when other forum members want to argue or flame/bait me. Or worse if they're mods/admins.

Anyway, I wanna see the fiction this Brawn will be in. Has to be lulzy.

News Credits: 1 · by **AutobotMR2** » Fri Aug 10, 2012 10:58 pm

it will be called "What happens when Brawn discovers Golden Corral!" And many lolz will ensue!

Mayve we should start looking at repaints from a different angle. Stuff from this line like Brawn and Springger and Swerve. Say hasbro never planned to do another classics Springer, swerve or brawn mold. So they decided to reuse old molds with a new head. In this light, it's either Remold brawn, or no brawn at all. I rather have the option of getting a remolded brawn instead of not having a brawn release at all. :lol:

by **orangeitis** » Sat Aug 11, 2012 1:30 am

I'd have personally liked for it to be a brand new character. Or at least an Earth-mode Sharkticon. Gnaw's original toy robot mode was tubby like that.

In all honesty, the head doesn't really look that much like Brawn to me... I tend to think of him as having a rounder head. But maybe that's just me.

The color scheme is okay, and I may pick this up if it comes out stateside and I can't find a FE Bulkhead (or feel the need to have two wrecking balls for him), but most of the GDO Generations stuff doesn't really do it for me, save for Powerdive. This is better than the Megatron, at least, but I won't exactly be heartbroken if I don't get it. There's better stuff on the table, like Ruination and Thundertron.

A number of you have taken upon yourself to get into each other's grill, taking things way too personally and effectively taking this thread off topic. If you have a problem with someone, ignore them, step away from the computer, and enjoy the outdoors or something else. This is toy collecting, not Stress 101. Chill out. All of you deserved a warning for the flaming and baiting that you have posted, so you will get warnings and not a slap on the wrist.

Now if you want to talk about GDO Voyager Brawn then please do so in a calmly manner.

Please don't introduce that thing into the Generations line Hasbro! Keep that crap overseas.

You quoted an irrelevent page 4 post on page 6 with no intention of doing something positive with it. Whether or not you started the powder keg, you decided to post and contribute in the discussion about your views on the fandom rather than on the Brawn toy.

This is not my board. This is everyone's board. I work in a manner so that the majority of people here are pleased with their experience. At the current moment you are a burden to others. If you honestly have the intention of not getting banned from Seibertron.com, then I'd highly suggest that that you start to recheck what you write before you click submit.. This is the last time I, or any moderator is going to talk to you about this in public.

No, you know what... this is complete and utter bullshit. Bullshit for a mod to label ANYTHING as flaming/baiting. It's ridiculous, it's degrading, and most of all, it's infringing on BASIC HUMAN MOTHERFCUKING RIGHTS. If I was just off topic, why not just warn me for that?

I've tried to talk decently to you. I'm sure others have too. But this is the last straw. None of us members deserve to log on and try posting on a website, not fcuking knowing what we're gonna do wrong till we get a warning/ban. WE DESERVE TO POST IN PEACE. I have no fcuking idea why you filthy mods created a board if all you're gonna do is treat your members like worthless pieces of ****.

You wanna ban me? GET IT OVER WITH. Shove all of those WARNINGS up your collective hateful asses. And that's from the bottom of my heart.
