Hauler has an angry face, so I suspect he's not happy about being green either. An existential scream. -Ralph |

You could buy Grapple, put him in Hauler's box and claim he is an unusual variant.

Ralph does not have a Grapple, Inferno or Artfire!

So Blurr has been/will be released three separate times as Blurr, with three separate heads.

This is... certainly unexpected. Good news for me, as an IDW 1.0 fan, but less good news for those that were expecting a UT Blurr. I just hope that, between this and Jhiaxus, Hasbro haven't forgotten that there are versions of characters from comics that people were still after. Obviously I'd rather this had been someone like Nautica or Aileron (because it's not like Blurr has been poorly served with toys), but if this is a stepping stone to getting them then that's fine.

There has been a Nautica toy. It's nice. No idea who Aileron is, sorry.

It was the only boxset that proper availability!
The other were gold dust and I am not still bitter about that at all.

Ah, I see. Aileron appeared in IDW after I had stopped reading after the Dark Cybertron era.

That Blurr looks really nice, best use of that mould so far for me!
Being almost entirely decked out in shades of blue like that brings to mind Bump of Chicken Bumblebee.

I noticed, but it fell into the more-disappointed-than-surprised category for me. Whether or not vehicle modes can roll on all their wheels seems to be very low priority on the designs these days, so I'm not surprised if they don't even try to make these ones look like they could work. It's a real shame though, in both cases!

Since the shift in design to prioritising robot modes in Generations, it seems like the designers barely bother to see if a car mode can roll. Due to the absence of other play features, a car mode that can't roll is useless.
