    Looks REALLY weird, but then again, I thought the same thing about GDO Cliffjumper at first, and I got used to it, and even have it as my Classics Cliffy.

    it looks like a REALLY solid head sculpt - just doesn't seem to match up.

    may still grab it though

    It reminds me of that guy with the shrunken head from the end of the movie Beetlejuice...

    May he forever be known as 'Pinhead Brawn'. Perfectly and aptly titled.

    Well one upside of toys r us getting a new voyager case asortment would be more hot spot.

    I would buy the brawn just because the mold is good. It's got sort of an Apex armor vibe to it like brawn is just a minibot in a exosuit.

    So... Does this mean there's a chance of him being released now?

    If they released him, I'd get him to be Prime Brawn...

    Part of me wants to see this released so I could get him and display him with the rest of my non-Cyberverse Autobots, but another part of me would rather get the Deluxe Bulkhead and call that Brawn. Colors are more Roadbustery, but it could still work as Brawn. I don't mind the small head on this guy, but my Autobot shelf is getting a bit cramped as it is, so a Deluxe would be easier to squeeze in there than another Voyager.

    Whoever made the decision not to put this in the GDO line made a good call. Give that guy a pat on the back and a high five. This is one cancelled figure I'm ok with not getting.

    Great mold. Great head. Just not together like that. Looks terrible with the lime green colors and the foreign head.

    I can't find pictures, but isn't this the American version of the packaging?

    Horrible!!!

    Come on Has/Tak, keep this TF Prime crap away from the Classic's/Generations line!

    You're just gypping fans out of a legit Classics Brawn by cutting corners again.

    It's the ultimate perversion.

    Then they wonder why major retails rejects many of these figures and they end up at Ross.

    THAT THING IS A "PRIME" EXAMPLE!

    (Sigh)....Other than Senator Ratbat I don't see this upcoming Toy Fair being promising at all. :(

    Roadbuster would have been a better use of the mold for this guy.

    You do know that, last we knew, the release of this figure had been canceled...right? Even if it does get released, it'll be a TRU exclusive like all the other "GDO" releases. Meaning it won't stop Hasbro from releasing the "real" Brawn you so desperately want.
