Leader-class Deep Desert Brawl (repaint of Decepticon Brawl) has been sighted at a Wal*Mart in Corona, California by 2005 Boards member MegaHavok. Although the first sighting of this figure in the United States is exciting news itself, also noteworthy is the new catalog that comes in the packaging. The new catalog announces that the release date of the Transformers Animated toy line is June 2008.

I WILL SO TOTALLY GET THIS!!!! I love that it has mark that shows how many autobots he has killed.

I just spotted him tonight at Walmart and was going to report on him. Found one, decided to pass on it. Among all the other usual complaints, the one I saw had an absolutely horrid paint job on the head and torso regions. I'm not a stickler for detail (my Concept Bumblebee has a noticeable scratch on the hood right out of the box), but ugh, the QC on this was so bad.

Gotta agree with the complaints about the allspark blue. I don't mind the blue in other Allspark figures, but I think it's too bright in Desert Brawl.

I'll have to pass. Don't like the blue with the desert color.

Basketball Jones
He's approximately the proper scale to crush a GI Joe under his treads, however.

There are no hatches for them to go inside. His entire turret area is full of electronics.
primenemesis
will a Gi joe fit in Brawl?
Gears
He needs a darker wash all over the tank. He looks too clean and fresh out of the showroom. The 1st version was way better.

And the tank mode needs some details (too plain), but other than that it's actually pretty decent looking
Bed Bugs
I think overall, the blue looks nice on him. Except the cannon tip and clear launchers on his back. They should have left those as clear.
a person
I think the blue works very well with his other colours.

Can MegaHavok scan the Animated catalog ? I am interested in that but not the repaint costing another $40…
Noisemaze2006
Yeah, if I fork over the money for this I'll have to paint over that ridiculous looking blue. I'll leave the tips of the cannon & missile launchers blue so they'll still light up but the outside will be painted over to match the rest of it.

I think the blue is what makes the toy, myself. The desert camo is fairly cool, but the blue REALLY adds some nice contrast, there. It's not used as a primary color on the overall scheme, just a highlighting color, so I think it looks really nice. Have him coming tomorrow via BBTS, can't wait!

I might pick this one up, I have yet to get a Brawl at all, and really want a Leader version. The kill markings are great, overall color scheme is good but the blue is a bit too bright. Nonetheless, looks like I might be buying this but I wish the weathering was consistent and not just secluded. The weathering is broke off on other panels and its distracting.

I just saw it at Wally this morning. Pass
Deceptigtar
