Without haste, part II is up. Up to bat is Unite Warriors Blast-Off and FP Explorer whom is "not" Blast-Off. Earlier I said in part I that Explorer and Munitioner came with additional accessories. What gun or arm piece came with whom, I forgot because it's been long since I put away the box. However, you can search for the details online. Without delay, let's get started.
FP Explorer vehicle mode and comparisons with Unite Warriors Blast-Off
I am glad to say that for once I am digging the Unite Warriors Blast-Off. I did say that I wasn't wowed by him in my UW Bruticus review, but after comparing him to Explorer, I totally had a new found respect for him. Explorer just felt really cheap to me and looked a little generic in comparison to the UW version. Explorer also lacked pegs to mount weapons whereas the UW version shines on this aspect. There are positives in the FP version though. He has the right color scheme with the mocha brown color rather then the caramel color UW used. Explorer didn't fall apart as much as the UW version (i.e. head pops off easily and sometimes the cockpit). The blade Explorer uses in robot mode is used for his tail fyi.
Both transform fairly easy so no qualms on both figures on difficulty.
Robot mode
UW Blast-Off is nearly twice the size of Explorer. They can both exchange weapons as Explorer can hold Vortex's blaster whom I do give to Blast-Off occasionally. Blast-Off can somewhat hold the knife Explorer wields. Despite UW Blast-Offs bulky chest, I liked that version better overall. Explorer, who was a good classics fodder prior to the UW release, is too small and he is lacking the G1 features the UW version has. Once again, it's the mocha brown on the FP version that gives him points, but it's not enough to topple the UW version. Thanks for reading. Next combaticon coming in part III.
