Considering Brainstorm's based on Blurr, there are enough changes to the mould to make the difference, and a MUCH better Transformer than the 2014 T30 version. That release was probably the definitive MTMTE Brainstorm on bot mode, but the Alt mode was terrible (imo.)
Really love the WG TR Brainstorm as a toy, and they've done just enough in terms of deco and remoulded parts to make him a separate figure - even though for the most part, the entire body is just Blurr - but having jet boosters on his arms/legs isn't too out of the question for a Starfighter alt-mode, and the wings on the arms break up his silhouette quite well, as does the shield/fore section of the old mode. In fact it's more useful as a weapon than just a shield as with Blurr.
Happy to have all three of them so far.
Well it is essentially just the same figure with a new shield piece and wings, right? Not that I mind, still like the outcome. And while some people don't like the simple pretool, when you go back and look at G1 Blurr and Brainstorm's toys and alt modes... weirdly, they look very much alike. Maybe it's just me but it's a pretty bizarre coincidence.
