Takara Tomy Transformers Unite Warriors UW-07 Bruticus with Blast-Off Full Reveal

Way to go Takara.
I will definitely have to keep an eye out for Bruticus and it seems we will get vortex with four blades instead of two, once a clearer picture is revealed we can see if Brawl gets a fix as well

Still a bit blurry to get a good look at blast off but they're on the right track

New Blast-off mold looks interesting, but I can't quite make out details, which is somewhat disconcerting.

It looks like his arms don't form the nosecone, but stick alongside the shuttle mode. But that means all that nosecone has to go somewhere, and it doesn't look like he has an aerialbot backpack.

It almost looks like he has an absolutely massive boobshelf.

Also added to the set, compared to the Hasbro version, is a bigger rotor for Vortex (who still otherwise looks like an Alpha Bravo repaint). Check it out below, and start waiting as the set is due for release in June!

They even gave him cartoon-accurate boots.

And to the one who asked, I cant exchange this since I did get Devy a month ago now and this was my mistake.

Not the whole figure, just the part that the tab was attached to? Maybe you could get someone from the creative forum to Shapeway it.

But then why was defensor an exclusive?

Looks like the designer wasn't able to pull it off. If you look at the combined form, you can see Blast-Off's arms at the sides of his body, folded at the elbow.

Thats exactly like the hasbro one plus you can fan mode so that the legs look actually a lot better

HB Blast Off neither has bulky legs or a ballooning chest. I should know, as I own him.



As for my opinions on Bruticus, I think I'll stick with my Hasbro one. While the prospect of a new mold is nice, I'm fine with what I already have.

I'm with you there. I said I was getting him regardless of a new blast off because I'm a bruticus fan but after finally getting CW bruticus, I'm good. It's an awesome figure and I don't need to spend $140(American) on another bruticus just for a new mold and different paint. Fighter jet blast off has really grown on me and looks great in all modes. Maybe my thoughts will change in the next couple months but for now I'm just happy to have a new Bruticus.

coz that's crap man! if they aren't

Why would they? All of the UW releases have been box sets.



EDIT: Off topic, but I just noticed that it's been exactly a year since I joined the Seibertron forums! Been a pretty good year.

Nope! Only available with the Defensor box set.
There may still be a little hpe that Hasbro will do a single release, like they did with Quickslinger and Brake Neck. Maybe now that shuttle Blast-off exists, it's even more likely.
