Va'al wrote:Via site sponsor TFSource, we have a slightly grainy reveal of the upcoming Takara Tomy Unite Warriors UW-07 Bruticus, as teased here, showing off the existence of a new mold - of course, we're talking about Blast-off in shuttle form! 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!
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.Insurgent wrote:I'd be surprised if the arms didn't form the nosecone, considering when the designer first teased the new blast off, he said that was one of the main things he was trying to do. And it was a sketch of the arms seperating from a nosecone.

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.

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.Stuartmaximus wrote:oh & btw...i believe that the Deluxe Groove you could buy separately! as well as it coming with a set.

have you not read Randomhero's post? he's just by saying that he's not willing to fork out $140 just for another Bruticus just for a new Blast Off mold!
so that should be reason enough!
oh & btw...i believe that the Deluxe Groove you could buy separately! as well as it coming with a set.
which is ALSO a box set.Decepticon Sunstorm wrote:And no, UW Groove is not available outside of UW-03 (unless you count him being retooled into Afterburner for the upcoming Hasbro Computron).

Insurgent wrote:Maybe they saw the demand for Defensor and realised they could sell a ton more if they don't make it exclusive?
Randomhero wrote: 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.

I'm more talking about the fact that since every UW release has been a box set, it would make no sense to break that streak.
And no, UW Groove is not available outside of UW-03 (unless you count him being retooled into Afterburner for the upcoming Hasbro Computron).
