    It has been Takara's MO to produce G1 accurate counterparts to CW teams; why would they stop now? I can't wait for their Blast Off.

    Sadly Takara's Bruticus will be forced into the terrible cartoo colours. I really do equate Bruticus with the toy colours and he'll suck if he doesnt have a silver chestplate.

    Guess the only solution will be to buy this set and track down a silver Onslaught if I want a perfect Bruticus.

    I might do something similar. I'm going to wait to see the colors of the Takara version first and if I feel it'll look better with a silver chest I'll double dip and get the second run of the Hasbro Onslaught. If the part is assembled the same way as it is on Hot Spot it should be easy enough to swap that entire head/chestplate assembly.

    I kinda hope the new mold Blast Off isnt a space shuttle. I'd rather have him as the B-52 bomber he was at the beginning of Starscream's Brigade. his place in the combaticons would make a lot more sense that way

    I didn't grow up with G1-Formers; but I think Hasbro is making the right move with switching Blastoff from a shuttle to an actual military aircraft vehicle. Now he actually fits in with all his other military Combaticons and not seem outta place anymore.

    I'm okay with Blast-Off not being a space shuttle, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't underwhelmed by him being a straight repaint of Slingshot. Personally, I like the idea of him being a B-52 or other WW2-style bomber.

    This. Nightbeat was never shown as a hard copy in public. There were mock ups for vendors like Diamond.

    Please please please please make space shuttle Blast Off with proper face and the violet optics, Takara. If you do I will be sooo happy and that will be sooo bought. I don't want yet another jet, either, that's the Seekers and Aerialbot's thing anyway. But that horrid Hasbro head is a dealbreaker. It is all kinds of #Nope.

    I am inclined to agree. I doubt Hasbro will do a deluxe scale Groove. I am going to wait for the inevitable Bruticus box set. If they can figure a way to make Blast Off as a stand alone sculpt I am all for it. I was disappointed in the rehash of Firefly.

    I tell ya, if EVER there was a time where Takara drove a wedge further in between themselves and Hasbro, it's gotta be during this CW Era.

    Well done.

    I'm getting ready for the chorus of people who will call anyone who "settles" for the Hasbro one "chumps" or "sheeple"...

    All of this.

    I don't care if Bruticus is GEEWUN or not, but I do care that he's (Hasbro's, at least) mostly repaints/remolds. If Takara does do a new Blast-Off -- however they handle it -- it would be the only version I'd be interested in getting.

    There are something's Hasbro need to keep intact otherwise I'll go Takara. A grey/silver head for Bruticus is a must.

    I'd be fine with a fighter plane as Blast Off if he would have gotten a new head or at least Firefly/flights head. If TakTomy does a shuttle though (and this seem to hint that might happen) I'll buy that! I might get Hasbros Blast Off too though as an additional team mate for when someone calls in sick or whatever (like Rook, Offroad and AB), I'll just rename him Jim-Bob or something.

    Oh God, I just had the dreadful thought of ;what if this becomes a Takara Mall exclusive like Defensor/Guardian? We would have to pay crazy money for it?
