That is one chunky bastard. Some of the aesthetics could use some tightening up though as I think he's a tad too wide in places. But looks promising, especially alt mode.

 

I'm all for an MP-ish Brawn and I really like Huff's look even if I don't touch him very much for fear of his imploding in my hands...

...but this just looks godawful. I dunno, maybe when it's in color it'll change my mind, but for right now it's not just a miss, it's a cross-the-street-to-get-away-from.

 

Dayum, that Series 1/2 land Rover is nice   It says on the TF Wiki that Brawn is based on a Land Rover Defender 4x4, keep in mind that the Land Rover defender was not around in the 80's.......

 

I always thought he was a jeep. You know, a hard as nails jeep, but still a jeep.

A jeep that could pick up and throw Starscream away and beat on Megatron's face.

 

You're absolutely right. The helmet needs to be widened/tapered and less ball-shaped. Cubex was great about listening to customer feedback on their Huffer. Maybe they'll listen here too.

 

wouldnt touch this.

 

Does it? Which bit? Bit i'm looking at under G1 toy section mentions 'altered' Toyota Land Cruiser...

 

Helmet is wide enough, just too tall. They went for a squished look which is fine but only if everything is squished. Either squish the head and arms or lengthen the legs. I like Brawn to look like a dwarf so I would go with squishing the head and arms.

For fear of paint flaking?

 

So good seeing prototypes instead of silhouettes. I like it, big step up from hench. Legs look too wide, giving him that extra tyrion lannister stumpiness, other than that I think he looks good.

 

please, some of our almighty digibash jedi masters, put some color on this little boy!
it seems my Huff wont be alone for that long!!!!

 

Liking the chunkiness. Like others say, head need work. Glad they dumped that shit factory; Huffer was a great design.

 

That looks pretty damn cool. Very nice indeed!

My only crit would be to add a pinch of tapering at the ab section/love handles to give a slightly more dynamic sculpt - but hey, looks great and faithful!

Definitely interested.

 

Once again we have some mass shifting magic to make a Huff size robot into a truck that scales almost perfectly with MP cars.

 

Yep that heads needs work

 

Hmmmm. I'm definitely going to keep an eye on this one. For all of his flaws, Huff was one of my favorite new figures this year. The only thing that makes me grit my teeth a bit is the mention of rubber coating on the tires - I don't want to trade one time bomb (paint flaking) for another (rubber cracking). Still, we'll see! They put a lot of love and creativity into almost every aspect of Huff, even down to his packaging and I'm excited to see what they do for Brawn.

 

Sort of reminds me of Moe from the 3 stooges...

 

Yay! Brawn! My favorite midget bot!

 

It looks promising.

 

First impression definitely isn't good - The stumpy legs make him look like a dwarf. It would be nice if their rebrand results in a better quality product and isn't just a cosmetic name change to avoid a reputation that was earned with two sub-par releases.

 

Not really interested in Brawn, but I'd be interested in a better version of Huff. All the QC issues put me off, despite a good looking mould.

iGear's Brawn does enough for my Classics collection. But maybe.
