I usually only do the transformation images when it's a figure that I haven't seen the transformation for or if I think it provides a level of entertaining value to the gallery (such as showing Metroplex's transformation for example). I've seen several Brawl galleries already so I didn't feel the need to do the transformation pics especially since his gallery was so large already.
I'll try to keep this in mind for future releases though that are more complex like Brawl.

Thank you very much, I hadn't even thought of looking for other gallerys. Seibertron has everything a TF fan needs XD
I understand you wouldn't want to do it for everyone, it'd be an extra 10 or more photo's to take & upload each time. Sorry, I didn't think before asking. ^^

Ignoring robot mode for a second, lets list the problems (as I see it) with the alt mode:
Poorly hidden feet.
Very obvious missmatching of molded and painted colours (could be down to photography)
No atempt what-so-ever to hide his head.
Transparent end of main gun barrel and entirly transparent missil pods.
Random extra kibble on the front between the two sets of prongs (which im certain was not in the movie).
I think overall his robot mode looks pretty good, but for a leader class toy to have that many glaring (and lazy) flaws in alt mode is just crap.
Hasbro will have to work a LOT harder to make me part with £50 for this toy.

His head's hidden quite well In my opinion.
As for the transparent parts, If I do somehow get £40 and buy him the first thing I do, before even transforming him, is ignoring the lights & sound thing, painting the transparent parts & saving money on batteries.
As for the bits between the prongs we see on the deluxe, they must be easy to remove. I'd have to see one in real life before deciding on that.
I believe the colours are due to the photos.
And finally the feet. Well the Deluxe has poorly hidden feet, I don't know if that's actually that much of a negative.
Either way, if I somehow gain/win £40, he's mine.

1-Feet looks like barrels hanging off the tank. I don't see a problem with that.
2-Colors ARE matching, just bad photography.
3-Head can be turned around, it's just not in the instructions.
4-Transparent parts are required for the light to shine through maybe?
5-Kibble can be folded back on the tank. Again, I don't see a problem with that.
6-Tank mode looks like crap? You neeed to have your eyes checked and quick buddy, this is the best tankformer we ever got. It's like, super obvious?
Seriously, if you hate Brawl, then you must REALLY REALLY hate Prime with his poorly hidden gun and REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY hate Megatron.

You shouldnt HAVE TO paint a fricking £40 figure!
Justicity wrote:As for the bits between the prongs we see on the deluxe, they must be easy to remove.
They're not on the deluxe, nor the FAB (both of which I rather like) nor the movie or game designs.
If you are not sure what I mean, I mean this:
(Also note the utterly unpainted and stick out ugly headlights that dont even apear to sit strait.)

They are better hidden/less prominant (the fuel tanks do a good job of hiding them to an extent) on the Deluxe. And a Deluxe is £10 (less at TrU at the mo) worth of toy, you dont expect the same level of engineering and ingenuity that you do for a £40 toy. Its like saying 'I would have no problem with Leader prime having half his altmode on his back, cuase Voyager Prime does'.
Im sorry, apart from Prime, the more expensive movie toys have been poor. Megatron (meh toy, terrible colours), Ultimate Bumbles (meh toy, terrible price), and now leader Brawl.
And megatroptimus, I do hate movie megs.

By "the bits between the prongs we see on the deluxe" I meant the bits between the prongs which we also see on the deluxe.
I assumed you would have read that the same way as I did. Apparently not.

Im still struggling to follow you. Tere are no bits between the prongs on the deluxe one. I know, it's stood right here.

Exactly....
It's the PRONGS that we see on the deluxe...
"the bits between the prongs, the same prongs which we also see on the deluxe"
Is that simple, & spelled out enough for you to understand?

Question. Is the plastic bit, the foldy up-down thing, between the prongs important to the figure? Is it possible to unscrew it/pull/break it off?
I assume you know what I mean, the bit that appears for this figure but isn't on the deluxe, FAB, movie or game design?

Actually, those extra bits aren't prongs. Leader Brawl's just happy to see everyone... if ya know what I mean.

If so, that's just the lighting. Sometimes paint apps and colored plastic don't always turn out the same with my lighting or camera. Not sure which.

Yes. So you are saying the painted apps DONT look as out of place as they do in the photos? This is good.
And Justicity.... wha? I am talking about the bit INBETWEEN THE THINGS all the other versions have. See my pic. Im sorry, I still dont see this figue bering worth Leader prices. If it were cheaper, I'd snap it up in a flash, and be damn pleased too. But as it is. No. Hasbro/Takara could and should have done better.

I don't know if I'd go that far, but I would most certainly say that Brawl is a very kick ass figure. He could of used a few more paint apps in my opinion but other than that, I love the guy. Awesome figure!

Head pops out and cow catchers move inward, a bit à la Leader Prime. He has other minor automorphing bits too (arm cannons, and some automorphing in the upper turret during transformation).

Yes that makes a lot of sense to me. I was wondering why on earth did they choose Brawl to be Leader class. The decision was obviously made very, very early on. I do remember reading somewhere that the original concept Megatron was supposed to be a tank. I don't suppose it would fit the plot of the movie though... Megatron is frozen for millenia in his original Cybertronian form so how came by the tank?

Oh yes! There was all that talk that he'd gain an earth mode...
I'd forgotten that. Well I guess Brawl was supposed to be his earth mode design until they finalised the plot, removed the earth mode & created a new character.

It's got electronic lights on the end so It's very unlikely it can be removed. Wires & all. Though I could be wrong.

Since he is an american M1-A whatever I doubt they should be there. As for the top thing you cirlced, I have no idea as to what the hell it is there for or what it is, so if I get him they will be sawed.
That aside I think I will get him. As for the £40 price tag, I may be eating socks for a awile...

It can be removed. Actually, it falls off easily during transformation, it's easier to put aside and put it back on when you're done.

Really O.O so do you need a separate set of batteries? Or is it not light-up?
