Blast Off / Brawl

They look just identical but different in colors, so they are in the same review.
 
Blast Off and Brawl are Combaticons form Bruticus and they are the repaint from Energon line. For some reason, I like
this repaint color more than the Energon one.
 
Their alternate mode is a tank. It is very nicely detailed and the costom paint jobs and colors are excellent. Putting on
the energon weapon still looks pretty good. The little four wheels at the bottom roll okay but I think we don't roll the
tank so often like rolling the cars. This is a perfect looking tank. The only problem is the hands can be seen on the top
but putting on the energon weapon can just cover it.
 
For most of the transformers, their robot mode are usually taller/longer than the alternate mode. Not for these two. I
didn't really measure it but after a very simple transformation, the robot mode is almost the same height with the tank
that makes them shorter than my other same scount class robots. But this is okay, because the robot mode simply looks
nice. Some people may not like the skiboard feet but I am totally okay. But now the energon weapon looks oversized.
Posing and ballance is good and they have lots of weapons to show off. I like the way you can fold the tank treads
differently so you can give these identical two different looks.
 
Transformation: 8 - Very simple but well designed.
Fun: 10 - Excellent tank mode and very good robot mode, what can you ask for more? Oh, yeah, they are limbs of Bruticus.
Even better.
Display: 9 - Don't think I will display them along. But they looks good individually.
Overall: 9 - Blast Off's color scheme stands out better than Brawl but I like them both. Gotta love the technology
now that these two figures are excellent individual figures by them self and they can combine into Bruticus.
