If you're not happy with the IDW style head that came on Generations Blurr you may be in luck. A new third-party company known as SideFX is developing an upgrade set to give him a more Generation one appearance. The Blitz set will include a new head, gun, sword, and shield. According to their twitter account they have more upgrade sets planned.

The Classics Blurr doesn't really need an upgrade in my opinion so pass.

Dinky Shield looks Dinky.

It also make him look like Ani Blurr.

New Head isn't that bad, and the weapons are nice. Not really Blurr, but since I planned to give Perceptor his sniper rifle, IF I ever find Perceptor, new weapns for Blur wouldn't be the worst thing in the world.

The sword and shield are definitely dinky and the original rifle is cooler.

I would only buy this for the head and it's not particularly impressive.

It doesn't help that they used crappy low res photos for the reveal. Unless it's under $10 (which it won't be), this is a pass for me.

New head and weapons are a def plus!!!!......depending on cost of course!

Just curious, but do you guys now like about this? The head looks G1, the gun and sword are pretty much generic, and the shield looks nice to me. Plus you're still going to have his original guns. If there are things about the set you don't like you should let them know on twitter.

At the minute YAK! that head ruins the mould for me it looks too buch blurs always been lean i do love the shield and gun though.

EDIT. Cool kit though if the head was thiner imo it would be spot on.

Posted by Doubledealer93 on August 21st, 2011 @ 2:24pm CDT
im sorry but the head hardly looks G1ish and it does not look right on the mold. the weapons are cool thats about it.

Looking at this i was first like :SICK:. Then I started liking how the shield and weapons store in alt mode. The head sculpt is still growing on me but not quite there yet.

Posted by WeatherManNX01 on August 21st, 2011 @ 2:34pm CDT
Can't say that I like it. The head just...doesn't work for me. It doesn't scream G1 Blurr. I feel like the head is kinda...fat and squat, which is completely opposite of what Blurr was. The IDW head gives a sense of motion and speed.

Also, yet another third party company. Hooray. :roll:

Posted by BeastProwl on August 21st, 2011 @ 2:52pm CDT
I don't know why you guys are griping. Id'e buy this just for the rifle, it combines with the sword. Not only that, but the shield looks good. Id'e keep the old head on there, but a set like this would really differintiate him from Drift. I'm just sayin.

Posted by kirbenvost on August 21st, 2011 @ 3:26pm CDT
Hmm, I kinda like the shield, but not really interested in the rest of it.

Posted by Nemesis Destron on August 21st, 2011 @ 3:41pm CDT
The head is a great plus and I'm always one for weapons but that shield is s*it. But I won't pay more than $30 not including shipping. That is the same price for the Cliffjumper head upgrade kit...so 'nuff said! :VEHI:

His head could've been done better, otherwise, I'm for it. :D

Posted by Sodan-1 on August 21st, 2011 @ 4:07pm CDT
I do like the original weapons: chunky gun and small shield for the win! I think the head would look a lot better if Blurr's helmet crest/pony tail thing was bigger and more defined. I can only assume transformation impediments have reduced it to a tiny mohawk.

I am intrigued as to what their other products are. I'm with Down_Shift in hoping for a new head for Warpath.

Posted by MINDVVIPE on August 21st, 2011 @ 4:40pm CDT
If it's around 10 bucks, I might get it. Don't really like the new head, but it might look better if there were better pictures of it, and more detail on the face itself.
Re: G1 Style Upgrade for Generations Blurr in the Works (1279718)
Posted by NTESHFT on August 21st, 2011 @ 4:53pm CDT
I may get this one. I do like the head.......
Re: G1 Style Upgrade for Generations Blurr in the Works (1279736)
Posted by Swindle01 on August 21st, 2011 @ 5:39pm CDT
what this set does is basically take a fantastic figure such as Generations blurr who is pretty much perfect....and then turn him into ass farts

Like i said before, EASY PASS

this set doesnt even need making! why waste time and resources on this when instead they could use the time and resources to make something else people WOULD want

Unless this is really cheap, I'm gonna pass on it.

Posted by KnightStrike on August 21st, 2011 @ 6:00pm CDT
I really like Generations Blurr just as he is. To me the original head looks much better and more G1 than this kit does. The head on this to me looks just like G1 Springer gone blue ;)
The weapons are kind of neat, but not worth the money when there are so many other cool 3rd party products out there. I do kind of wonder if that head would fit the Springer from the Target Springer/Ratbat two pack. That Springer is a voyager scale, but this head looks large and more like Springer than the factory one.

Nevermind the different weapons, heads and entirely different paint jobs that do that job perfectly already. I'm just sayin'.

Anything is better than the head we got now. See what I dont understand is if they dont want a head that looks close if not identical to the G1 cartoon, and they dont want the IDW head, then what do they want ??? Not talking about you my friend, but I would love to take some of the more harsh critics on this site to the st**p club and see if they are as picky with the chicks as they are with 3rd party stuff. I could see it now...

"She looks malnourished"

"I dont like the perpindicular angles of her hairstyle"

"The colors she's wearing does not match her skin tone"

I used some darker blue paint to do up some details on his original face, and it makes it look awesome, fyi. I prefer the head that comes with it aswell.

I'm not allowed to dislike something I don't think looks very good? Sorry, but I don't think it looks very good.

And while I grew up on the original cartoon, I don't subscribe to the notion that the Classics figures have to be a near-perfect representation of the original characters. I've always believed these figures to homage the characters, not replicate every minute detail.

I don't mind that people would prefer the more G1 head. I do mind that people think the rest of us should like it, too.
