The robot mode isn't great with the huge chest and weird feet, and the Arm mode isn't that different from the Hasbro version. It's nice and I am glad people are getting the Blast-off they want, but just not for me.
I agree very much. The hasbro jet blast off is a slimmer arm and works well in comparison to Vortex. They compliment each other very well. That being said, photography is not very friendly with any Combiner Wars figures. It takes getting them in hand to truly appreciate any of them and see how they look.
I'm still on the fence with this. I said I was getting Takara Bruticus because I collect every release possible of the big guy but I'm just not enjoying the colors. I know they are cartoon accurate but the chest and onslaught as a whole just don't pop for me. Again maybe in hand it will be different but that's a pricey gamble especially since I have hasbro one and he's great as he is.
