When Titans Return debuted, Hasbro revealed that one of the line’s Titan Master figures was Brawn. Many fans were disappointed, saying “we want a Legends class Brawn!”, and Hasbro, with a twinkle in their eye, said “oh, wait and see”. And, sure enough, Titans Return got a second Brawn – the Brawn that fans clamored for. The Legends class figure to add to the growing Classics Minibots lineup, alongside Bumblebee, Wheelie, Powerglide, and so many others.
What makes this Brawn so much sweeter is he captures a lot of the personality of this Autobot powerhouse. The design is not only accurate to the original design of Brawn, but his personality – a strong, tough, Autobot – also comes out in the design. Brawn even has a weapon, a shield / blaster, that forms the back of the vehicle mode. And if you don’t like the weapon, it mounts on the back of the robot mode, in a move that makes the back of the robot mode very similar to the Generation 1 toy.
Brawn is another great Minibot homage in a great line of toys. We’re looking forward to next year’s Beachcomber, as well as the other awesome new Legends in the pipeline, based on the strength of figures like Brawn, Seaspray, and the rest of the Legends. Check out Brawn’s gallery to see why we’re loving this figure.

This will be the first Autobot I will purchase.

Change the chest plate around a little and you have Gears. I\'d buy that for a dollar!

The Brawn toy, especially what the lower legs do at the back, strongly suggests he's got a Gears remould in him

Makers really should've re-release that Generations Gears. (I'm good settling for either Hasbro or TakaTom's version, whichever company that decides to give us one again).

Brawn is tops, best Legend since Swerve.
Love the compatibility with the Titanmaster, little Brawn robot riding in the vehicle or the robot.

So far the best legends class of the batch!

So Brawn can have a TM and Legion toy but Repugnus can only be a TM? feelsbadman
Anyways, I like how this guy turned out in the end. Can't wait for Beachcomber reviews.

well that picture of brawn wielding a gun with his face in it isn't terrifying…

While I know a lot of folks have been De-Headmastering their Deluxes/Voyagers… I kind of dig the handful of customs that went the opposite route with Brawn here… that is, remove the Legends head and add a port to support the Titanmaster. I dig the concept of Headmasters in Titans Return now… if the character can and does exploit the ability to use different bodies. A great way to do so would be to have a gun/vehicle thing, and a base body. Brawn technically is the only figure to have both in this line. (And a few customizers have actually made bodies for many Titan Masters to correct that bit on those little dudes… There's a darn good Fangry by Tinman customs that shows this. Fun to see Fangry with a Mini-ME, actually.)

my favorite legends figure so far

That's the Botcon '07 repaint of Armorhide.

Brawn using Megatron's Fusion Cannon? I've never heard of such a thing!
But all sarcasm aside, I never knew I wanted a Brawn that can dual wield a Fusion Cannon and himself, but here we are.

Brawn with Brawn is pretty sweet. Love how he can use megatron's arm cannon too for that added G1 toon kick!
It's a previous year convention one. Uses a mold from Transformers Cybertron.

which huffer is that?

Brawn's here for our next gallery. No, not the Titan Master. The Legends class one. Okay, so the Titan Master is here too for a dose of Brawnception.
I really liked this one. Hence the extremely positive writeup. Truth be told, I'm just loving this entire line. I've yet to experience a Titans Return toy I've not enjoyed on some level.

Titans Return Brawn with Titan Master Brawn – Brawnception!
Remember when Brawn stole Megatron's fusion cannon? If you've got Titans Return Megatron you can recreate that scene with Brawn, thanks to the 5mm ports in his arms. I'm pretty certain someone at Hasbro thought of that when designing this one…
Classics Minibots lineup – I'm pretty happy with this setup now, though a Cliffjumper up to the standards of these guys would be excellent.
