Toy Review: Transformers Takara Tomy Legends LG25 Titans Return Blurr

                                                            

Aloha. I finally decided to open up a deluxe figure legends (Titan returns) figure. I chose Blurr whom I will compare to the IDW Generations Blurr and discuss a few other things. Without delay, let's get started!

Box and Packaging.

 

 

 

 

What Takara packaging isn't complete without a Manga? I was actually happy to see Blurr reminisce about the time he left Cybertron with Kup and Rodimus Prime (Japanese version of Headmasters). From that point on, I had no idea what was going on. I could see that Shockwave is apparently disguising himself as an Autobot and then Blurr takes on Galvatron later. However, thanks to TFwiki, here is the full story: Legends Comic: Bonus edition Vol 25.

As an addition to the comic, included is the figure with his Headmaster (Hyper fire I presume), tech specs, and instruction manual.

Blurr Alt mode

 

 

For once, his vehicle mode really resembles the G1 toy and cartoon. Doesn't have much places to peg weapons, but this thing is a beauty any how. Vehicle mode has a wheel in the bottom so you can roll it on a smooth surface for some extra fun. I have no qualms on this mode and it looks great with it's G1 cartoon colors design.

Robot mode

 

 

 

 

 

 

Flawless victory! Well almost. Blurr is an amazing figure! Not to mention, he feels like the G1 cartoon Blurr shrunk at the palm of your hands. Takara really did a good job on his G1 cartoon representation color scheme. You can either remove his back to use it as a shield or just simply leave it right behind him. I like how you can use his shoulder thrusters to make it look like arm cannons. Use your imagination once again. 

Head on! The Headmaster!

 

 

 

 

Even Goshooter wants some

Goshooter Head on!

Go Shooter Head on close up!

Blurr got Cancer.

So here is the where the figures finally shine for me. I can now utilize other Headmasters that I invested in before and swap heads to give some versatility. The only drawback in this gimmick is that the head is fairly loose when plugged in. Maybe this was done to give the heads some slack but it feels loose regardless. As you can see for yourself, you can insert a headmaster to his vehicle mode to give the impression that there is a driver in the car. Neat, we seen this on Wheelie previously, but nice to still have.

Blurr vs IDW Generations Blurr

 

 

 

 

It had to come to this. For many years, Generations Blurr stood as the shelf warmer for the Classics line. Imo, Legends Blurr now stands as the placeholder for the classics line up, but does this mean Generations suck now? No, I still love Generations Blurr who is based off of his IDW design. Generations Blurr is still nice looking and holds up well till this very day. In comparison, I like how the Generation version he is more well-equipped while the Legends version is G1 accurate. The drawback here is that they both can't use each other's weapons well though Legends can hold Generation Blurr's rifle pretty well. Don't let the pics fool you much, the two had difficulty grasping each other's arsenals. Oh, and Generations isn't a headmaster in case you haven't figured.

With Wheelie

 

G1 buddies until Blurr left Cybertron to search for a new world with Rodimus. They both look good and Wheelie can arm himself with Blurr's weapon. 

Conclusion

We got another winner! Computron amazed me earlier and Blurr is just totally awesome. Easy on the eyes and sculpted very well. Pick him up especially if you need a Blurr. Overall, this is the definitive version of Blurr. If I had to choose between IDW or Legends, it is the latter.
