He is really looking G1 here, I just hope the articulation is good.

Oh... MY... GOSH that is EXACTLY what I wanted for Blurr to look like! Of course we still need confirmation if it's real or not but WHO CARES. For the new and bigger deluxe size, it's perfectly sized for Blurr.

I wish that there was a bigger image. If you try to zoom in on it, it looks a little bit blurry.

Anyone?










Yeah, thought not.

I submitted a link (in the Submit News thing) to a TFW2005 article about this image claiming that it is from weibo.

We got your link, thats where I got the pic. But that is still not a source. It isnt written weibo anywhere on the pic (they usually have watermark) so this pic is currently sourceless and so are any claims.

People dont want to be identified, I understand, but that means there is no clear source to reference.

Looks very non-eye-catching; but it's definitely gotta be hasbro's work, anyone else would've used way more paint and actually give it paint apps

A Blurr that doesn't look like Drift and has a Cybertronian mode?
A Blurr saddled with an unnecessary gimmick?

Well ... I'll probably get it regardless. The Takara version will likely have better paint apps and, if not, Reprolabels will likely rescue it.

Why do the keep doing characters as Headmasters that weren't ever before while there's plenty of Headmaster characters that could use an update?

If his -master buddy is still Haywire, that means Blurr will randomly fire lightning bolts out of his head during his panic attacks!

Oh, and being a Headmaster means that he'll be redecoed into that Headmaster Arcee that Rebirth fans have wanted for almost 3 decades.

And I'll buy it...even though I've long maintained that The Rebirth denied us a proper Arcee toy for so long by dividing fandom as to whether or not she should be a Headmaster.

Because I'll buy EVERYTHING in this line of non-geewun G1 era awesomeness!

You can tell that from the small pictures? Damn ... I want your eyesight.

But........ I'm fine with our current classics-verse Blurr.

Well, I was in bifocals by 2nd grade, so, take it, please

But, dude, it's nearly 90% solid dark-blue; now, if it has blue-on-dark blue details, I'll take it back, but based on the last years worth of hasbro releases, I doubt that's the case

I don't mind if the color scheme is broken up intelligently, but it doesn't seem to be the case here. And I've always thought the cw line was terribly under-painted and lacking painted details, but they were combiners, so I overlooked it. There's a reason I'd gotten ~20 tfs in the last 5 years before cw started;

As for becoming a bitter elitist, I just think it's wrong to pay so much for so little effort - outside of engineering - I won't be scammed out of my money for these figures

Whereas 2015 saw me buy more TF's than probably the two prior years. Admittedly I did get three combiners through Takara (but that was mostly because of the original members)

Same here, I've wanted amazing scramble-city combiners ever since I was unable to complete rid ruination;

I went into this intending to get every unique/great combiner; after this, it's back to being very very strict about what I throw my money at, but TT's BW celebration may have me backed into a corner

My only planned purchases are: Skullcruncher, Mindwipe, and Weirdwolf (if mw and ww look cool and exist), Astrotrain, and maybe Sentinel - he looks awesome and has a cool triple changing design, and whomever that redeco of cosmos is...

I'm interested. Robot mode looks pretty straight-forward. It's a shame the bulk had to end up on his legs. I wonder if we see these odd choices to be headmasters repainted/remolded into the bodies for the heads announced that were actually headmasters.

Wally, is that you?

DecepticonFinishline wrote:But........ I'm fine with our current classics-verse Blurr.

Same, but I kinda want to see how this turns out. maybe I'll use him as a cybertronian version of Blurr.

I do find it odd how they're making headmasters out of characters that haven't been headmasters before, but I do like them trying new things. Also, perhaps now we can finally get a headmaster version of Sunstreaker! Even if we did just get him as a combiner...

That's a lot of dark blue. Which is about all I can tell so far.

Cosmos should be redecoed into Pathfinder.

The rumors said that it was Scrounge.

That's fine, it makes it one less toy to buy for you. I, on the other hand, was never happy with such a principle TF character getting the redeco with new head treatment. the whole point of the season 3 bots was that they had cybertronion/futuristic modes, it was a really cool change in design from the previous 2 seasons. So I was always sad to see Blurr just be a normal car. And plus, a bot mode which didnt look sleek due to all that kibble in his shoulders and legs.

But this is the nice smooth and sleek blurr I always wanted. The Animated version was decent, but clearly in the animated style, so I am really glad we are getting this guy here. And added playability never hurt me, so I dont mind him being a headmaster. Its not like its obvious in robot mode anyway.

But thats Blurr to me. You know what I realized lately? I dont care too much for paint apps if the toy is good. It bothers me greatly when there is specific sculpted detail that is purposefully not painted (like RID Drift) but if the colours work, then I am ok. Leader Magnus, for instance, didnt have a ton of paint apps, but the different coloured plastics worked well together. I will wait for a biger pic until I make more of a judgment over the paint and if this is underpainted and if that is a problem. but so far, it looks good, reminds me of the Targetmaster Blurr with a nice G1 colour scheme.

I know I'm ready to judge this figure entirely based on a pre-production image not intended for public consumption at the world's tiniest resolution.

What can be made out looks fun and in line with what I'd expect out of a deluxe sized retail figure. Looking forward to this upcoming line up and some of the wacky stuff that'll hopefully be achievable.
