Title:

Brawl Deluxe Tank Mode

Description:
Decepticon Brawl (Deluxe Class, 2007)
TakaraTomy ID number: MD-03
Accessories: Missile

Part of the second wave of Movie Deluxe Class toys, "Decepticon Brawl” transforms into a heavily-modified M1A1 Abrams tank, fitted with angular reflective armor, a mine plow, and external spare fuel canisters. Mounted upon the turret is a smaller sub-turret housing two anti-aircraft cannons and rocket launchers. The spring-loaded main cannon fires a translucent red projectile.
During transformation to robot mode, pushing down on the front of his tank mode automorphs the front section of his treads and his head up into their proper robot position mode, and raising the front up returns the treads back down to their tank mode configuration. He is armed with his spring-loaded main gun on his right arm and a flip-out blade on his left. The barrel of the gun can be removed and the remaining section rotated to create a more screen accurate quad missile rack, but the barrel cannot be stored properly on the figure when doing so.
There is a design flaw in the way Brawl’s arms attach to his torso: The rhombic peg and socket system used does not fit together, and thus the arms cannot attach at the shoulder. There have also been quite a few reports of the teeny-tiny automorph gears—molded out of fragile, translucent plastic—cracking and breaking into pieces, leaving the automorph non-functional. A variant of him fixes the problem by replacing the red transparent plastic gears with solid red plastic gears.
