Repair Module The Repair Module will add to the constant Repairs he gets with his Signature Ability unlocked.
Interesting they chose to use the TR Blaster model, but transform him in a way the toy can't, completely ignoring the large speakers on his legs.
Yeah, they rely pretty heavily on the TR and CW stuff for their ‘G1’ characters, save for a few exceptions.
If I have learned anything from Hasbro's product shots in the past years it's that they always find a way. always.
It's not G1. G1 Blaster isn't a headmaster. Titan's Return ISN'T G1. It shares similar designs to G1, yes, but it is NOT the G1 designs.
