We have now seen half of the Walmart exclusive Legacy Velocitron line and the one character that was really up in the air was Blurr. Some early rumours said it would be a new mold for Armada Blurr which would then be reused for G1 Point Blank. And then later there was a rumour that it would be a redeco of SS86 Blurr. Well, it's neither, it is IDW Blurr. While it is based heavily on the SS86 mold, it is not just a redeco but has retooled parts in the alt mode and robot mode to give him that IDW look. The alt mode is especially different in the front half, as you will see in the images below coming at us from a new Chefatron review.

This means that the different universes used in this line so far are IDW, RID (kind of), G1 and Unicron Trilogy.

The full list of toys in this line is below but the ones we have yet to see are Burnout, Roadrocket and Cosmos.

Deluxe:
Tra Gen velocitron Burnout x2
Tra Gen velocitron Road Rocket x2
Tra Gen velocitron Blurr x2
Tra Gen velocitron Clampdown x1
Tra Gen velocitron Cosmos x1

Voyager:
Tra Gen Velocitron Override x2
Tra Gen Velocitron Road Hauler x1

Leader:
Tra Gen Velocitron Black Convoy x2

I figured Armada Blurr would've been a long shot, so I'm not really surprised.

Bummer though.

Just picked up SS-86 Blurr for cheap, so I guess I can totally skip this.

I dunno why because that IDW Blurr is awesome.
Now to find it in store....

I really like this. It bothers me that the front wheels do not touch the ground but I really like the bot mode and even the rest of the car mode.

Comment by Slashercon Jun 8, 2022

Not gonna lie, I think I prefer this over the 86 figure. Of the newly introduced cast of the 86 movie, I always thought Blurr had the weakest design (for my tastes) and preferred the Animated incarnation by large margin. And the IDW look is cool with me too. So I might see this replacing my 86 Blurr for my main Generations canon collection.

Nobody likes that kind of unintended bait-and-switch curve ball. :twisted:

:twisted:

I'm rather... surprised, yet pleased that they picked a comic design that we don't get a lot of these days.

Colour me surprised, I wasn't expecting this. Its nice to see that era of IDW being referenced still.

Were that many people hoping for Zechs Merquise Armada Blurr ? I really had no idea what this was going to be, but I'll admit IDW Blurr was a surprise, since that continuity is dead (though to be honest I have no idea if Blurr is in the currently ending IDW, or if so what he even looks like).

But I'll admit, although I have no interest, it is a pretty effective retool. Usually with so many reuses you just get repaints, but SS86 Blurr used 3 times, having 3 unique heads, and additional tooling is pretty noteworthy.

I thought there was a good chance for a more traditional toy / Marvel Blurr alongside Cyclonus, Springer, and Impactor, so I'm disappointed I can't build out that shelf more. I'm not mad though, love to see IDW get some love.

Where's my Flamewar tho

Any figure I can pass on from an exclusive line is money saved and it's doubtful they would have gone to the effort to give armada blurr a minicon and with out that, there is no hope, no hope at all.

If they are still flogging IDWs dying corpse lets have some some dreamwave bots

Yes. At least I was. Have no real attachment to IDW Blurr.

An Armada Blurr update would have worked with the updates to other Unicorn Trilogy characters we've been and are getting.

Comment by SpaceEagle Jun 8, 2022

I was really hoping it'd be Armada Blurr, even if the SS-86 mold wasn't the best fit for it. I'm not very fond of the IDW design for Blurr at all, but at least that saves me some money!

Comment by Whifflefire Jun 8, 2022

I was also expecting an Armada (or Cybertron) Blurr, but this looks pretty alright! Hopefully this does mean that IDW2005 designs are not off the table for future lines, even for other legacy characters. I got '86 Blurr earlier in the year, so I don't need this one, but happy for the folks who like it! Looking forward to reveals for the rest of the figures from this line.

Comment by Munkky Jun 8, 2022

It's a shame that Velocitron Blurr is not the Armada Blurr, that means there'll only be three Unicron Trilogy characters in the first year of Legacy. That being said, this retool does look a lot nicer than the original, there's enough retooling for it to feel like something completely new, and I may actually buy one.

I wouldn't be adverse to more IDW designs either - I'm not the most fond of IDW's designs or stories, but I think it'd be cool for people who want "Generations" scaled figures and not wanting to spend big bucks on 3P offerings - plus there are a few designs I'd personally like to see be produced, like the DJD (We do have two different Tarn figures...but I'd def prefer one in-line with WFC and actually transforms. :-P

:-P

)

Who cares if the comic is over. That design has popped in other media over the last decade. Most recently in cyberverse. Armada has been gone for 18 years and yet people were wanting armada blur. If the character and design makes a popular impact it’s going to stick around

And yes, blur has appeared in current IDW with this look in the comic that was based on this sub line

Comment by RodimusPrimeUkraine1 Jun 8, 2022

After seeing scourge and hauler I figured the velocitron was a line to make all kinds of random redecos/retools and throw in 2 or three actual characters from velocitron. Technically idw blurr is velocitronian too though.
