    I may actually have to buy Blaster just for his write up. Makes him sound like a Death Metal head!

    I really like the way you put this. :lol 

    Even his size is pretty perfect, he was MONSTROUS in the comics. And there's even a Hot Spot to arrest him now, and take him to a duel with an equivalent-sized Grimlock!

    Blaster seems to have gotten a weird downgrade compared to his G1 stats. Now apparently he's a brute. Higher strength and endurance, lower intelligence and skill.

    Grimlock looks nice.

    I'm on the fence for Blaster. Grimlock is a must have though.

    Blaster now looks way better to me than Grimlock. He's a must have if only because Marvel G1 Blaster is friggin awesome.

    They did a great job with his headsculpt.

    I'm happy with my Deluxe WFC Soundwave, so I'll likely be skipping the FOC Voyager. But just I might have to pick up Blaster.

    Him being bigger then my Deluxe Soundwave wouldn't bother me that much either, given the oriinal G1 toy was bigger then G1 Soundwave, as well.
    I'll just think of it as my own personal G1 homage.

    Huh, I wondered if they'd fiddled with his stats.

    Looks good. Will keep this one in the box. My MP Grimlock will display well with FOC and WFC along with CHUG.

    Is Soundwave and Blaster that tall compared to others in the game? Still prefer WFC Soundwave and wish there was a deluxe sized Blaster. I might have bought a FOC Optimus if it was Voyager sized.

    i wuz wondering if anyone knows if the visor on blaster goes down over his eyes? in some pics that ive seen, it looks like there are lines like the visor is an added on piece from the basic head mold, but wasnt sure if it moves up and down. that would be so awesome if it did move, you could display him like the original comics from the 80s portrayed him!! another good homage!!!:banghead:  MAN, I LOVE THIS HOBBY!!!

    No, at least Soundwave isn't, Blaster is not in the actual games. He should be about the same height as Optimus.
    But scale is messed up in the FOC line anyway. Brawl should be about the size that Voyager Soundwave is, for example, but that'd make combining impossible.

    Yeah, Grimlock too, but as strangely. They lowered Grimlock's skill score... in G1, he used to have a 10. He was no chump. :)

    ^ Maybe that's because there are more "martial artist" characters running around now? I mean, if you play the game, Grimlock does not feel like a skill 10.

    Although, in some ways it would be justified because Shockwave ripped out 90% of his brain and re-purposed it for combat tactics. So maybe Skill 10, yet Int 3. :) 

    Considering Shockwave is "amazed [he] can talk" it seems the stats aren't super in-tune with the game storyline.
