This intrigues me, as the head on Gen. Blurr is not "IDW-ish" it is a straight up three dimensional portrayal of his head from the comics.

Also I don't see how this head could be more G1.

Cool, thanks. I think I'm going to try this if I can find my Cybertron Blurr, he's around here......somewhere....lol

Doesn't seem like an upgrade to me. Just add-ons. An "upgrade" implies that there was something missing on the original toy that this fixes. The only worthy addition I see is a shield. Just my opinion.

Not being so round would be a start.

(Don't read too much into that "ish" bit. The point is, even IDW's head has G1 call-outs.)

I'm interested, but would love to see better shots of the head and accessories. Pics are too small and fuzzy.

I like this. In general, I tend to like all different kits from 3rd party companies, especially when it could lead to a unique custom. Doesn't necessarily have to be Blurr.

I can't stand the IDW head so I am very excited about this kit. The shield is also an awesome homage to the original toy and I love how it even integrates with the vehicle mode. The extra weapons are just icing on the cake.

This set looks awesome! Hopefully it'll be sold on BBTS.

I'm glad somebody is doing this. I don't like the pointy head of the IDW BLurr. Blurr needs to have the single thingie on his head, like G1 and Animated.

See, it's funny because while I'm really not a huge fan of how those parts look on the Generations Blurr, I rather like the pieces themselves.

... maybe we could think about using them on another figure? Yeah, I get that it sort of defeats the intended purpose, but isn't that where the idea of customs & kitbashing came from?
