You can indeed, krana found pictures where it was done as all you had to do was knock out one pin that was holding the bits together.

Just knock off the pin linking the spaceship backpack from "Action Master" Primal's body.

We once did. But it's already been a few years since we don't anymore. Sad really, because it was another hunting ground and we had easy access to the Target exclusives for once.

Too bad...

Hmm, they used to at least. Remember going to one in Montreal about 3-4 years ago. Kinda sad if they were closed.

*looks onlone*

Shoot, I'm REALLY wrong, they announced they were going out of business in 2015! My bad :BANG_HEAD:

I'm really looking forward to the day I'm able to snag a nemesis prime. But I have to wonder, if there's already 2 references to armada prime in the box, why did they make the headsculpt so movie prime like? Or is it referencing TFP Prime along with the included Giza minicon?

Really hoping for some more armada 2.0 figures soon.... Hot Shot, Megs, Tidalwave, and Starscream are a bit lonely.

Nothing official on when this Nemesis Prime may be ready to buy? :VEHI:

Just a nice to know factoid on PotP.

Aside from the Japanese product info decal slapped on the packaging, MAGA (Make Autobots Great Again)on Jazz, the production serial number embossed on the International version is absent in the Japanese releases.

Which one? The Pax head or the Prime head?
The Prime head was designed back in CW for a Nemesis anyway, but because Takara made Grand Scourge they let FunPub use it for Toxitron.

The Pax head I can definitely see Movie Prime's face. Perhaps they thought it would fit seeing as most call Movie Optimus "Murder Prime"?

The heads are meant to look like a cross between Optimus Prime's head and the Decepticon symbol.

So Nemesis Pax has a mohawk and Nemesis Prime (basically) has a Decepticon sigil face. I can dig it! Also Giza looks ridiculously cool for just an accessory.

I must have that Blast Off! Please tell me Amazon will carry him so I can beg request ask my wife to order it for me :PRAY:

And something weird is happening in my area. Walmart just got Deluxe Wave 3 in, having seemingly skipped Wave 2 (while having been flooded with Voyager Wave 1 :-(

). Target just got Deluxe Wave 2 (I got Sludge, now I just need Snarl, yay).

Awww, don't feel bad, you can join Stunticon reject Offroad. :lol:

the unite warriors blastoff would have looked much better if they used a dark brown instead of tan
which was what the cartoon had but whatever im glad we finally get a hasbro version that looks much better

I do quite like this blast off, but I was okay with his change in the first place...lot's of choices. Also for what it's worth, off road is a permanent stunticon to me now ;-)

Good lord that looks gorgeous. Poor Takeoff though...

I wonder if we'll get a G2 Blastoff? If so, I might see if I can track down one of the inevitable sold-off G2 Takeoffs. I love that colour scheme on that mold.

Will there be any special opportunities for that? For that matter, what about demand?

News Credits: 439 · by **Sabrblade** » Sat Jun 30, 2018 9:59 pm

I kinda hope they don't do G2 Blast Off from this mold, as I just got my plans for the five CW-styled Potpie combiners all figured out, and don't want to have to try to work in an extra odd limb bot out.

I am sure we will get a G2 Blastoff the same day we will get Takara's Unite Warriors Liokaiser

You never know. No one expected Hasbro to import Groove back when they did.

And stranger suggestions have been mentioned, like Hasbro asking Fun Pub to do Liokaiser before they did it themselves. Or Hasbro asking Fun Pub to do either Titan class G2 Devastator or Landfill.

I did, 100%. Hence why I never got Rook and still dont have him to this day.

Thanks to fellow Seibertronian Cyberpath, sharing in the Energon Pub discussion boards the set of images mirrored below from Twitter user rogue03_dpt on Twitter, we have some nice comparison shots of the recently revealed Transformers Prime Wars Blast Off figure, with both its Hasbro Combiner Wars and Takara Tomy Unite Warriors predecessors.

We see robot modes, shuttle modes, colour palette comparisons, combiner arm mode, fully combined mode (with some third party additions to the figure), and a couple of group shots too. Check it all out below, and let us know if this is something you will be picking up after all!

While I don't regret that I got UW Bruticus because of Blast Off, I do sort of regret not picking up the CW ones when they were being blown out at TJMarshaxx. I do intend to get this Blast Off regardless.

Is the rifle in the last pic also from PE?
