    It definitely looks like this is what's supposed to happen. And on the topic of Blast Off: There is one very good reason why he won't be purple, for those of you fearing that he will be. Do you really think that Hasbro would release two purple spaceships (that even look the same in robot mode!) in the same line?

    What I wonder if is whether or not Brawl's turret can flip up to cover the knee. It looks like it could, but then it also looks like it's connected to the foot...

    Btw, anyone else notice that Bruticus has waist articulation?

    From the look of the toy fair pics, I think you might be on to something there. Looking at a lot of those pics on a lot of different sites and Blast Off looks noticably longer than Vortex in a lot of them. I noticed the same joints in the leg/lower arm you did. While it's not 100% I think there's a very good chance he folds up into a more normal length arm that matches the concept art better by having the thrusters nearer the fist.


    -ZacWilliam, would give a lot to be able to fiddle with the guy for like 2 minutes and confirm that...

    Just when I thought Bruticus couldn't look any worse, you prove me wrong with a backside pic:(

    Brawl and Swindle's arm modes could redeem this thing.

    I can't see them making blastoff purple and not making vortex blue because "he will get lost in the background". I WANT A GOLD BLASTOFF!

    Just in case you don't get it, I feel vindicated that my comments about Bruticus being Scramble City style being correct when no one else believed me.

    i still think blast off is super mistransformed, or atleast maybe able to be fan made to look better. it seems that for his robot mode transformation the tip of the shipmode becomes the crotch in robot mode. judging by the bruticus arm pics where we can see his underside it looks like his hip joints are up where the shoulders are for his individual botmode. so i am hopefull that the hips can fold up closer to the shoulder joint and give him a more proportionate arm (or atleast one the same lenght as the other)

    Just had a thought, possibly might look better with the limbs switched?

    i'm not sure why but onslaught's and vortex's colors remind me of either something out of G2 or SG.

    But I thought a Habsro rep at Toy Fair said these were just prototype colors...

    10/10 confused as fuck as to what's going on here

    I will say though, if these are really the final colors I'll most likely be passing. Yeah they're fun looking and all, but when it comes down to it, I would vastly prefer game-accurate colors like in the GI pic.

    I'm hoping it's not final either... I liked the Gold (so long as it isn't defective)... & it's possible I misunderstood what was being said in the interview on the color, or the interviewee/ interviewer was misinformed... Hopefully something...

    Yeah, the interview mentioned that, too, but I just wasn't sure how they'd do it...

    That's been my thougths this whole time. Perhaps the Neon pic from the front page will help, as it looks like Blast Off may finally be correctly transformed for a pic... I think this may be the official one released to TFW from Hasbro:

    I have a feeling this is via the hinges I speculated about earlier, & was shot down for... Seems a lot of that's going around w/ Brut.

    & yeah, I don't think Brawl's cannons flip up... at least not w/o sacrificing his foot/ stability...
