Thanks to fellow Seibertronian Cyberpath, sharing in the Energon Pub discussion boards the set of images mirrored below from Twitter user rogue03_dpt on Twitter, we have some nice comparison shots of the recently revealed Transformers Prime Wars Blast Off figure, with both its Hasbro Combiner Wars and Takara Tomy Unite Warriors predecessors.

We see robot modes, shuttle modes, colour palette comparisons, combiner arm mode, fully combined mode (with some third party additions to the figure), and a couple of group shots too. Check it all out below, and let us know if this is something you will be picking up after all!

While I don't regret that I got UW Bruticus because of Blast Off, I do sort of regret not picking up the CW ones when they were being blown out at TJMarshaxx. I do intend to get this Blast Off regardless.

Is the rifle in the last pic also from PE?

In my head cannon they are both blast off as he loves to experiment with new alt modes and splitting himself between new bodies...meaning one day he might have a full combiner team consisting of himself

For me, I'm gonna use the GT System so that all three can be Blast Off at the same time.

Accurate to the original toy

Don't know what I'd do with a Jetblast just yet...

Just no more jets or it will ruin transformers forever. Maybe an alpha bravo redeco. I’m sure everyone will love that.

Well I imagine the torso would either be silver bolt or Starscream redeco...an alpha bravo redeco would get us to three limbs who would the fourth be or would it be uw blast off? Or his counter part from car robots maybe?

1. Shuttler or G2 Take Off
2. CW Take Off
3. UW Blast Off
4. CW Blast Off (new)

Main Body? A shuttle of course, so Shy Lynx repaint.

Completely forgot sky lynx, that works quite nicely (though would have been better with a bot mode...)

Completely unrelated note: Assuming that the Seacons were a "UW Computron" job (so all existing molds but with heavy retools allowed) who would you use as the bases for them?

For me I might pick...

Snaptrap: Either a heavy, HEAVY retool of Grimlock (though admittedly his torso mode is a bit pants) or an even heavier retool of Skylynx, being a bit creative and giving him a turtle mode and an "undersea crawler" mode.
Overbite: Rippersnapper with new weapons and head. Simple.
Skalor: I'm tempted to say a really heavy retool of Slug actually. Either that or Blot/Rippersnapper with a completely new "shell".
Seawing: Retool the Cutthroat mold.
Tentakil: Blot retool, albeit quite an extensive one (on par with UW Nosecone).
Nautilator: Assuming new molds are out of the question, a heavy retool of Legends Skrapnel might work?

I wonder why you care....

As for Takara, that $175+ "those people" would've paid for a REAL Liokaiser set gave up and lined the pockets of another company. That's usually how it works. So if HasTak doesn't care why should we right..?
