Phil is not liking the joke he doesn't get. Blueshift kept going on about a 'ghost goat' for a while. -Ralph That was Urzu, not me! I was just talking nonsense, sorry Phil

The Ghost Goat was my post, yes. But it was inspired by Blueshift's X-Com bio, I believe.

Apologies for the lateness of the Thursday Tease but Phil couldn't see clearly which character we were going to do tomorrow.

Top 5 Blurr Toys:
5) Armada 4) Animated - this is my CHUG Blurr until I manage to own the one below 3) Takara Legends - don't own this yet but the colours make it look so much nicer than the Hasbro one. 2) Hot House's Fire Station (this is Blurr too isn't it?) If not then I'll go for Targetmaster Blurr instead. 1) Autobot Car

Okay.
5. Lord, I dunno. Umm... Armada. never did it for me. 4. Generations. Should have been Boss. 3. The Transformers. Always disappointed he didn't look like his fictional portrayal, moreso than Kup Or Hot Rod 2. Japanese Titans Return. Nailed it! 1. Animated. Top top top top top Blurr. This guy just oozes speed.

This list for me only substitute 2. for Hasbro Titans Return Blurr. I prefer the G1 toy look of the Hasbro alt mode, But I'd have Animated Blurr in all 5 places if I could. A tippety-top toy and an excellent Blurr.

I genuinely was having second thoughts about leaving Blurr a little longer.
But next week's intended subject needs to be bounced back a bit so that was a bit too much playing around so....

5) AnimatedNot keen on the animated style but this is a decent Blurr using it. 4) GenerationsI think this is a decent attempt at giving Blurr a more current rather than futuristic alt mode. The problem is he'd go for something sleeker and faster, possibly even a racing car, and being blue that takes us into Mirag territory. Kup does far far better taking this approach. 3) CybertronArmada Blurr is fun, but not Blurr. Retool the hands, give it a new head and you're laughing though. 2) Targetmaster BlurrWhich leaves the original in 2nd place. Or it would if the Targetmaster version wasn't better by default. Sadly not reissued yet, I'd like a package similar to Hot Rod & Kup with Targetmaster and retooled handle original weapons. Actually looking at 1986 Blurr's gun there's a raised ring at the top of the handle, can the 5mm peg hole hands of the Targetmaster hold it? 1) Legends BlurrThe Titans Return Blurr looks great, even if the colours are off - the ones I've seen in the shops are almost aquamarine. Colours here looks superb. Fab toy, far far better as Blurr than Brainstorm.

That was a fab tease, Big Phil.
Blurr!
None.
No wait! I once had Armada Blurr, I pretended he was Jazz. He partnered RiD Prowl.

Backup Phil failure after only three days?
What kind of guarantee did he come with?

5) RacemasterThe colours are a huge improvement on the original. I don't know if the central car holds together any better. 4) JetmasterAgain some really nice colours. 3) RollermasterThe dark blue looks odd. But TFWiki tells me it is Straxus so I MUST HAVE THIS TOY 2) AirmasterLovely lovely repaint of the jet. 1) BuildmasterThis was obviously what this was going to be when the Japanese got hold of it. They're construction vehicles so colour them like Constructicons. I would have liked to see the limbs get these colours packed with a similarly painted Sledge. Shame this never got to repaints in the west.
