It seriously looks like the Bulkhead body is just a suit that Brawn is wearing. Such a tiny head! XD I love it and hate it.

that crossed my mind as well.
i really don't think prime bodies with generations style heads thrown on them look very good.
starscream looks very cool.. i love the G1 accurate colors.. had this figure been released in the US for $20.. i'd probably buy it.
oh.. and i REALLY hate the null ray placement in robot mode. i'd rather them be in the proper position or just use a different concept. if they had maybe.. sawed them in half and made them looked jerry rigged to be handheld guns.. i think that'd be really cool and fit the uniqueness of the figure.

I have to admit - I do like both of these figures. I'm just less enthused about the price tag.

That Bulkhead is no Brawn. The only thing it is good for is the the head. Buy it, take the head off, use it on a custom that actually resembles Brawn. Hasbro/Takara and their shoehorning.......what will they think of next?? I surely hope the Generations Arcee coming out is not just a Generations Arcee head on a TF Prime Arcee body.....

Though, it's a little ridiculous to think that they'd do to a mainline Generations figure what was done to this small time super limited side line.

I wonder if the shoulder issue is fixed on this version of the Blitzwing mould. This will be the fourth time (twice with Hasbro and twice with Takara) that this mould has been released and I know from experience that the issue wasn't resolved as far as Hasbro is concerned when the Double Dealer version was released. This being the second so far for Takara-ish, I wonder if it's been fixed. Anyone pick up the Takara version of Blitzwing? Did Takara resolve that shoulder issue just based on the problem with the Hasbro version?

Here's a novel concept:
If you don't like it, don't buy it.

Alos, both figures look WAY better than either of them should.
That deco looks so much nicer than his GDO figure's deco:El Duque wrote:

I know, right? It's just plain unfair.
Still would have preferred the GDO release stateside for $20-$25, but the deco is admittedly a huge improvement on the Cloud version. Alas.

I have it. His QC is better than Hasbro's (as is Doubledealer's is better than Hasbro's Blitzwing) but the issue isn't fixed with Takara's Blitzwing either.
Agreed 100%. Both of these Cloud figures look really nice all things considered.

These images do Brawn some justice. I might pick him up, if in-hand images appeal to me more.
Passing on Starscream. I get what they're trying to do, but it doesn't work as Starscream to me.

E-Hobby only has Starscream, Brawn is only at TakaraTomy Mall. We could expect the club to put up listings for them, but price-wise you wouldn't be better or worse off with either.

Yup, still looks amazing. And look, Brawn has his G1 colors.
And I might as well say it here too.
Brawn= muscle. How does that mold not work?

prime aesthetics in my opinion just dont fit with regular figures. much like movie figures. think about the flipside: put animated or prime ratchets head on classics ratchets body and see if that fits.
for me, the drawbacks of brawn are his tiny head and stubby legs.
starscream however... is just unique coming from that mold. part of me says "nooo.... a tank? he's not supposed to be a powerhouse.." but i dont know. i just really like him. maybe its the spot on G1 colors thats grabbing me.
ill agree the biggest drawback of the cloud line in general are the prices. its asking a lot for glorified repaints.

Hmmm... I wonder if that teeny noggin of Brawn's would fit on a Classics Kup body. If Hasbro would scale it down, it would probably look good on the IDW Swerve/Gears mode as well, but for some reason, that tiny head on Bulkhead's massive body makes Brawn look like someone inflated him until his chest plates are separating. Maybe they should rename him Bloat instead of Brawn?
