Title:
Brunt Robot Mode
Description:
Brunt (Deluxe Weaponizer, June 2019)
Hasbro ID number: WFC-S37
TakaraTomy ID number: SG-25
TakaraTomy release date: July 27, 2019
Hidden message code: TRYPTICON
Accessories: 2-part cannon barrel
Part of the third wave of Siege Deluxe Class figures, Brunt is based on the Centurion droid from IDW Publishing’s Stormbringer comic miniseries that transforms into a Cybertronian tank and back, making his robot mode heavily reminiscent of the Beast Machines Tank Drones. In tank mode, Brunt’s turret rotates and can also raise and lower his cannon vertically. He is also compatible with the ’Fire Blast’ effect pieces from the Battle Masters assortment, which can be used to simulate blaster fire or explosions. His parts can also connect to the various 5 mm holes on his partner, Titans Return Trypticon. Brunt’s claws also feature minor battle damage.
Like his fellow "Weaponizer” figures, he can separate into multiple parts compatible with the C.O.M.B.A.T. System to form armor and weapons for other figures of the subline. He splits into the "TTC-AD Vortex Cannon” (torso), "TTC-MFM Proximity Boost Module” (whatever the heck that means, waist/upper legs), "TTC-HD Turret Armor”, (backpack), two "TTC-MD Hydraulic Mauler Claws” (arms), two "TTC-HP Oblivio Launchers” (lower legs), "TTC-CMA Microelectro Amplifier” (front half of his gun), and "TTC-CR Agonizer blaster” (rear half of his gun). His instructions and Hasbro stock photos show two configurations of these parts with other figures: The Demolition Loadout turns his torso and gun into an arm cannon, his waist and legs into a shoulder cannon, his arms into platform shoes, and his backpack into a shield. The Serpentine Loadout turns his torso, waist, legs and arms into a massive clawed backpack, while his gun becomes a hand held gun and his backpack becomes a shield. As his upper legs/waist and torso are the only things that remain attached during transformation, Brunt is the Siege line’s most complex "Weaponizer”, and is the only figure of the type to be labeled as a Decepticon.
The Takara stock photos show two entirely different, unnamed, configurations: The first configuration uses his torso and the front half of his gun as an arm cannon, his legs as another arm cannon on the same arm, and his backpack as a shield. The second configuration uses his torso and the front half of his gun as an arm cannon again, his waist and upper legs as shoulder armour, and his lower legs and one arm as a long multi-jointed arm attached to the shoulder.
Caution is advised when transforming Brunt’s tank treads into his robot mode arms. The treads themselves must be pulled outwards and fully extended until they lock into place. However, the swivel joints used to connect the treads to his shoulders can pop out vertically if too much force is applied. This risks breaking the swivel joint housing, due to being designed to pop out horizontally rather than vertically. The flip-out pegs that attach his legs in robot mode are also very hard to flip back out, as they lack any indent for the owner’s fingernails. Additionally, due to the connector necessary to form the tank mode’s main gun, Brunt only features a 5mm post-hole on the sole of one foot, as opposed to having holes in both feet as most figures in the line do.
Hasbro stock renders and displays of the figure featured a painted orange cannon barrel, while Hasbro stock photos have the cannon barrel painted in bronze. TakaraTomy stock photos have his cannon barrel, as well as the blaster part below it, unpainted. The final product from both companies went with the bronze barrel. The instructions ask to put the gun barrel on Brunt’s back on his right side, though all official stock renders and photographs have the weapon to his left; the Centurion droid that this figure is based on also has a blaster to the left.
This mold was redecoed into the Centurion Drone that it was originally based on, and it served as the model for Metrotank in the Legends manga. It was also retooled to make Generations Selects Powerdasher Zetar.
