That's pretty good, actually. I like Turbine better, but the comedic appeal of Blowhard does have a charm.

If you're going with a Classics/Igear fusion collection... yeah. Huffer is still too tiny though. And the PCC version doesn't feel right.

I think that Legends sized minibots are hardly better than a Legends Prowl or Jazz. They just don't cut it, in size or design. I don't know why anyone would prefer a Brawn with 4 points of articulation to a proper scout/deluxe sized version.

And they are munchkins compared to Deluxe figures, far beyond the degree of their G1 versions. To keep things in perspective and counter that old nonsense about "minibots should be mini", contemporary deluxes are now considerably larger than G1 Diaclone cars (their obvious corollary), so I fail to see why minibots should stay the same diminutive size that they were in the 80's.

And really, to say that that the Mini-Warriors "look like Legends" in any way other than actual physical size is flat out crazy. In terms of engineering and articulation, these things are Scouts. And rather nice ones at that.

HOLY CATS!! Gears (Cogs) has always been my favorite character. The Brawn (Hench) looks cool and I hope they resize the Huffer (Rager) to match Swerve, Pipes, and Outback. Hell, if they offered them in two packs like the Takara UN27 Windcharger and Wipeout.

C'mon... much too tame for this crowd. I say with the language barrier and all why not just go all the way:

IGear's Windcharger= BLOW-JOB

If you think about it the word broken apart and out of context with the act we all know it to be makes quite a bit of sense... as a possible Transformer. I'm just sayin...

Yup, wouldn't take long before it appeared here. I have a feeling we'll hear more after Brawn/Cosmos are hitting our doorsteps in a few weeks.

Instant pre-order tho.
