Yeah, they put the trapezoid design upside down

Yes. Now go to your room and don't play with yourself.

They didn't carry over the shuttle nose-to-hands thing that made him so different for me - that's what made blast-off blast-off; without it, he looks like a cartoony aerialbot wannabe
But I will get any hasbro release of it, I just won't buy the UW set for it

One bit thing for me is that his arms, all of them, are still just plopped on the side of the shuttle. All that beef, and they put it in the chest and lower legs yet can't hide the arms? I feel that is a let down

Well, based on his legs, I'd imagine he uses the aerialbot transformation, so where would they put the arms... if they had kept the toys thing of having them become the cockpit, or allowed them to fold under the cockpit kibble, it'd have worked

Speaking of Aerialbots Blastoff kinda looks like they just took the base Aerialbot design and flipped it around.
Obviously not the actual case but it kinda looks like it.

He seems to keep up an aerielbot skeleton, just heavily reworked. And I think they could have done the nose up so it did turn into the arms, with the shoulder locations and all

Well the same could be said for UW bigroove and offroad, but I agree, they could've had some shenanigans where his arms became part of the cockpit or something

I meant where the jet kibble is usually on the back and the combiner peg is the chest on the Aerialbots it's flipped around on Blastoff.

I'm in the same boat with you. Reading all of these negative comments about him makes me feel like I'm in an episode of the Twilight Zone. This version of Blast Off looks as good (or bad, depending on your viewpoint) as the rest of the Combiner Wars deluxes do.
Something is off about the head sculpt to me though, but it's much closer to the original and is leaps and bounds better than the Slingshot repaint we got from Hasbro. I feel like they generalized his features, I wonder if this head mold will be used for another upcoming figure (maybe Killbison or someone).
It'll be interesting to see how this mold gets reused upteenmillion times over the next year or two.

As expected, you are all still eating it up, even if it looks like utter trash.
It's just blurry pics and you base your decision/statement on blurry pics? How you know its trash?
But if you are already biased for a certain toyline or product, guess there's no convincing you to not snipe without basis. A pity you won't have the opportunity to enjoy the next mold.
Btw TT gets a 4 out of 5 in effort.
1. New mold for Blastoff
2. At least a bit of a retool for the rotor blades of Vortex ( wished it were a new body for the copter)plus incorporating them as a melee weapon like that in Car Robots.
