4.0 out of 5 stars Brawlin', March 8, 2008

This review is from: Transformers Movie Leader Deep Desert Brawl (Toy)

He's one big dude. Of course he's just a repaint of the regular Leader Class Brawl but I have to say that I like the new color scheme. The story on the box goes that he got all hoped up on Allspark energy after the events of the movie and wandered off into the desert, changed his color palate to better blend in the new environment and began terrorizing folks. Of course he died in the movie but, oh well.

The light brown with blue highlights really makes him pop more than the original drab green and to be honest most people are probably more used to seeing this type of color on military vehicles at this point in time so it looks pretty natural as well.

As to the toy itself it is a really impressive piece of work. In vehicle mode it approximates this type of tank really well and in robot mode is very powerful looking and armed to the teeth. He gets arm cannons on both arms, blades on his left arm and his legs, two four barrel turret guns behind his shoulders and his heavy tank cannon at his side. The tank cannon is really cool and is mounted to his body via the turret rather than arm mounted like the deluxe version and adds a new dynamic to him that is really interesting. His arms are much less flimsy than his deluxe version predecessor as well. The only reservation I have about his robot form at all is that his legs end up being really really thick, but hey, he's got to store a lot of metal somewhere.

The transformation itself is entirely different from the deluxe version too which was a welcome surprise. He features three different gun noises and lights which is pretty cool. I have transformed him several times and have not had any issue with damage (most of these you won't if you take just a smidge of care). The only problem at all I've had is that the red light in the end of his main turret quit working almost as soon as I used it. My guess is a loose wire. Not a deal breaker by any means as all else works perfectly.

Overall I'd say that he's a fun, cool looking and dynamic toy to own.

Brawl wasn't my favorite movie charector (in the movie he's called Devastator, who in Revenge of the Fallen is a giant robot combined from the six constructicons, who, by the way, was just released) but he's my favorite of the movie line. On the back of the box it says that after the battle for the Allspark he repainted himself and hid in the desert, yet he died in the movie. Oh well, anything for the sake of marketing. Transforming him into a robot is easy, yet it's difficult putting him into tank mode. The plates that form won't stay put for more that one cussed second unless you resort to using rubber bands. I find the khaki repaint a big improvement over the original green paint, in fact that kept me from buying him until this version came out, and in the blink of an eye I had ordered Deep Desert Brawl. And was I disappointed? NO! He, in fact, is among the best transformers in my collection, and, in my opinion, is the best out of the movie line. After a while, the main gun barrel stops lighting up unless you pull the lever that activates all electric lights and sounds. All in all, a great transformer.
WARNING: NOT FOR YOUNGER CHILDREN WHO LACK THE ATTENTION SPAN THAT TRANSFORMING THIS FIGURE REQUIRES

If I had to have one Decepticon I would choose Brawl. He's awesome he's fun to play with and he makes sounds. It's just amazing I really like it. If I had to rate yhis toy 1-10 I would give it a ten. You can't go wrong buying this it is so fun I think you would love it if you bought it.
