    Welp, looks like Combiner Wars Blast Off is being repainted into Slingshot, and my current custom Slingshot can be... Barrel-Roll, I guess.

    That's only a problem if Hasbro was somehow contractually blocked from doing it. If not, there's nothing stopping them from bringing the molds to the US.

    (Also, if Blast-Off is part of some kind of boxed set...at least I know there'll be a market for him if I have to buy one for literally everything else in the set.)

    Praise Jeebus! Blast-off! FINALLY!
    The Elita-1 retool&deco looks hella lot better than the Starscream version of that mold.
    Can't wait for Moonracer (my favourite fem-bot is soon here!) and Hun-grrr (even though his beast mode is kind of sad), the Inferno is less inspired then the others (and I have the universe one) but I'll probably get him.

    Can the comics please change Blast-off back into a space shuttle now? Or do they have to continue to regurgitate Hasbro CW propaganda?

    Even besides the fact that Hasbro has demonstrated that they can revisit BotCon ideas whenever they want (they just don't "want" to all that often), a Hasbro-release CW-Ratchet would be unlikely to match what we did with the Custom Class version (especially if we went with Marvel-style, as I did, or G2, but even if we went with a cartoon-inspired deco as Hasbro will likely do).

    So I'm not too worried.

    (And even if Hasbro did go with a Marvel-inspired deco, it would still likely be superior to my own pathetic attempts at painting, and I'd happily pick one up. Indeed, I'd be more likely to pick up a Hasbro version if they went Marvel-style!)

    Strange, I thought everyone hated Takara Blast-Off?

    SO glad we are getting a blast off. I hope we get a white repaint as an autobot so I can have 4 shuttle limbs for Sky lynx.

    Man, that Inferno really should have been RiD Prime. I wouldn't be surprised if some third party makes a conversion set for him.

    Why the hell would Hasbro waste time and materials on Shuttle Off when they already released the superior and belongs-on-a-team-of-combat-vehicles Blast Off?

    As far as I’m aware blastoff was never an earth jet in idw, maybe you should read the comics?

    They hated him because they couldn’t get him

    Hasbro does love us if we are getting blastoff. If he didn't pass the drop test, why didn't Hasbro come out and say that originally? Now I need a repurpose for jet blastoff. Preferably an obscure character sort of like blackjack was and now is a stunticon

    That would explain the inconsistencies in the packaging.

    well i'm not going to replace the better themed jet blast off with shuttle blast off but i won't say no to a new limb mold i don't have.

    i think they should release ratchet and ghost starscream in thundercracker and skywarp colors. maybe that thrust too
