This is a fantastic version of Brawl (Devastator in the film), much better than the Deluxe version. His articulation is decent, but it's not hard to put him in his movie pose, arm extended as he fires round after round... if you loved Brawl's menacing presence in the film, this is the toy for you. Ignore the mis-Transformed pictures that are often shown, his head isn't visible in tank mode.

I avoided buying Leader Brawl for a long time, thinking it was just a large version of the Deluxe toy with a bunch of gimmicks added. However, I ended up being really surprised. It's like the difference between a sketch and a finished artwork. I actually ended up liking him better than Leader Optimus Prime. Big Brawl has a brilliant design and a fun (if _very_ challenging) transformation; not for novices or little kids! He's got about eight automorph gimmicks and they all work well. Except sometimes his main gun barrel doesn't make explodey sounds when you tap it in tank mode like it should, so you have to go back a step and make sure everything's alligned correctly inside the turret. As far as durability, I wouldn't throw him down the stairs, but he's reasonably solid. Don't be rough with him and there should be no problems. I gave him two stars for educational value because he's modeled after a real tank.

PROS: Eyes light up well when held up to a lamp. Front fender retraction gimmick is nifty. Both arm weapons are clever. Looks _excellent_ in both modes. Nice head sculpt. FUN!!!

CONS: Takes a while to transform and not exactly easy. The noises get a bit annoying after a while. Small gun turrets fall off a lot, but are designed to (to prevent stress breakage) and snap back on equally easy. Instructions, as usual with Hasbro, are not 100% accurate (and neither are the photos on the box!)

If you like the other Movie toys, definitely try to get Leader Brawl. And if you wait a month or so, Hasbro's coming out with a very nice-looking repaint in sandy desert colors with translucent blue. Sweet.

Brawl is one of the best movie leader transformers that has been done.I say that because of the fact that I own all the Optimus Prime leader versions and Megatron leader versions that have been done.The detail on this bad boy in robot or tank mode is amazing from the camo design to how realistic the weapons all look and sound.Brawl has an automorph arm cannon on one arm while having an extending arm blade on the other.The best part though is how the advanced automorph technology triggers electronic lights and sounds on the barrel of the tank turret and the two guns attached to the rear of the turret.In tank mode just move the turret for battle sounds.The transformation level is super or advanced meaning if you have plenty of experience with transformers there is challenging level difficulty.If you are a parent buying for a child of 5-6 or younger you will have to provide some assistance in the process.Brawl is one sweet transformer,but at the same time he can be very challenging for younger kids.The poseability is very good for acting out battle scenes or just displaying Brawl where you please.The durability is very good as well.There are parts on Brawl like the turret barrel that are made to snap back in place if it pops off,so therefore Brawl can take some battle scars just don't throw him down the stairs or against the wall and you'll be fine.If you have the time and patience to appreciate this gem of a transformer it is well worth it.Brawl is a high quality,well-made,10 out of 10 figure all transformer fans and collectors should love and enjoy.I highly recommend Movie Leader Brawl to all transformer fans and collectors alike.Transformers Rule!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I ordered this transformer for my son for Christmas. It arrived very quickly and looking at his reaction on Christmas morning he was quite happy with it. All in all it was a very good purchase.

Decepticon Brawl is one of the better movie figures. It's very movie acurate and detailed. It's a class four "super conversion", and takes a while to master the transformation; and that's only half the fun! Several peices that are designed to fall of come off a lot during transformation. He's kind of hard to pose too, as he is bulky and his feet don't stand right; but he looks really cool, makes great sounds, and is fun to transform and play with.

Leader class brawl is the title to this review. He is the classic "Big Guy". A bruiser that you really don't want to mix it up with! His modified M1 Abrams tank mode rules the ground and the robot mode boasts more heavy ordinance than Rambo. Not only that but this is one of the first movie toys that had no useless gimmicks. Every electronic function, automorph, and pop-out weapon is ergonomically sculpted to fit this toy and turn it into one of the best ultra super death dealing carnage making robots this side of the Mississippi! He is all around fun and definitely the best transformer from the 2007 movie line!

This is an incredible figure. Many sounds and lights. So much more than Movie Leader Optimus, surprisingly. Great transformation.

After watching his "devestating" performance in Transformers, I knew I would love to own his toy. And I do! Such an awesome Leader class toy! It will take you awhile to get his transformation to work correctly, but once you do it's pretty fun. Just make sure you tab his treads and be careful with his spring loaded gimmick and your good to go. Also be careful turning his turret during transformation, I have known some to snap, but only if your too rough with him. His electronics sound great and I have owned him for awhile now and he's still as loud as ever. I would heartily recommend him to any Transformer fan. He makes a great addition to any Decepticon Army!

When I got this product I was so excited to get it and use it. After the hour it took me to transform it, it was okay even though I never got to fully have it perfectly done. The final plate that is moved when turning it into a tank was blocked by something I don't know what. Also, the main cannon stopped lighting up after a week. Eventually the sound stopped working even though I hardly make do the sounds. I'm also disappointed that the main turning turret would not stay up or completely lock in place in robot mode. In all I do not think I would get it again, especially not for $40! Do not get this, it's got too many problems.
