    I think the blue is what makes the toy, myself. The desert camo is fairly cool, but the blue REALLY adds some nice contrast, there. It's not used as a primary color on the overall scheme, just a highlighting color, so I think it looks really nice. Have him coming tomorrow via BBTS, can't wait!

    Yeah, if I fork over the money for this I'll have to paint over that ridiculous looking blue. I'll leave the tips of the cannon & missile launchers blue so they'll still light up but the outside will be painted over to match the rest of it.

    Can MegaHavok scan the Animated catalog ? I am interested in that but not the repaint costing another $40...

    I think the blue works very well with his other colours.

    I think overall, the blue looks nice on him. Except the cannon tip and clear launchers on his back. They should have left those as clear.

    And the tank mode needs some details (too plain), but other than that it's actually pretty decent looking

    He needs a darker wash all over the tank. He looks too clean and fresh out of the showroom. The 1st version was way better.

    There are no hatches for them to go inside. His entire turret area is full of electronics.

    He's approximately the proper scale to crush a GI Joe under his treads, however.

    I'll have to pass. Don't like the blue with the desert color.

    Gotta agree with the complaints about the allspark blue. I don't mind the blue in other Allspark figures, but I think it's too bright in Desert Brawl.

    I just spotted him tonight at Walmart and was going to report on him. Found one, decided to pass on it. Among all the other usual complaints, the one I saw had an absolutely horrid paint job on the head and torso regions. I'm not a stickler for detail (my Concept Bumblebee has a noticeable scratch on the hood right out of the box), but ugh, the QC on this was so bad.
