I would appreciate a new mold for Blast Off, just because I feel that a lot of the more common G1 Decepticon characters haven't been given proper updated versions.
And no, Blast Off is not some unique character that deserves special treatment.
But with all of the molds being re-used in this line, my personal bias makes me want a new mold.
Do I think the current offering is bad? Absolutely not. I think it works very very well.
Will I buy the UW version if it offers a shuttle alt mode for him? Maybe, and most likely.
Knowing that all of the other paint jobs would be more cartoon accurate, and that Bruticus's head will probably be gray and not black/dark gray would probably be enough to pull that trigger.
I will say, if we find out that Hasbro's version in fact uses a different, more accurate head sculpt, who knows, I could stick with their's.
The more I think about it, the more I know it's possible that I will be changing Menasor and Bruticus into their separate team members regularly,
making the bot modes as if not more important than how each limb/torso looks combined.
The exception to this will be Devastator. Although, if I could get an extra Hook and Scrapper to keep in bot mode, I would. Love those guys.
