Toy Review: Transformers Robots in Disguise (2015) Blurr (Legion)
Review: #373
Name: Blurr
Brand: Transformers
Allegiance: Autobot
Line: Robots in Disguise (2015)
Year of Release: 2017
Size Class: Legion (Wave 11)
Mold Status: new
VEHICLE MODE:
Blurr transforms into a blue sports car, with a bright blue for the windshield, and everything else a darker shade of blue.
The back has a bit of a gap due to transformation, and the rounded shape is kind of odd, but otherwise, this is a great vehicle mode.
Being a Legion-sized figure, he is fairly small. Above is a comparison against RiD Legion Optimus Prime.
There's an insignia on the left side, which you can scan for the app to unlock the character temporarily. A functional vehicle mode.
TRANSFORMATION:
As you'd expect, transforming Blurr to robot mode is very easy. There isn't anything surprising here, although the spoilers folding up for the shoulders is a nice touch.
ROBOT MODE:
Robot mode isn't as sleek as you'd expect, instead opting for a bulkier look thanks to the shoulders and thicker legs.
He has half of the vehicle on his back as kibble, which sits flush against the torso so it isn't a problem.
The headsculpt is great, with a splash of white. The goggle-like eyes look great.
Height-wise, he's average.
Articulation is restricted to his shoulders, hips, knees and ankles.
The shoulders are big enough to hamper the articulation there but on the whole, not too bad for a figure of this size.
A decent robot mode, which, while it doesn't do anything new, is still very solid.
OVERALL:
Blurr is a nice solid figure in the RiD line. Both modes won't blow you away, but both are solid, doing everything right and doesn't take any risks. Since he's a relatively inexpensive figure, Blurr is recommended.
