Thanks to 2005 Boards member is456 for sharing some new in-hand images of Studio Series Wave 2 Voyager Brawl.
We have images of the packaging and we can see the figure out of the box, but still on its inner plastic bubble. This new mold seems bigger and more movie-accurate than the original Transformers 2007 Deluxe mold, and it will sure become a nice alternative to the Leader Class Brawl toy.
You can check out the mirrored images after the jump and then sound off your impressions at the 2005 Boards!

A little TLC goes a long way with this guy.

I couldnt seem to get any decent screencaps but this concept art and cgi render both seem fairly close to his final movie design, the latter more so.

And then theres also this thing which is just about perfectly screen accurate from what I can tell.

Wow, that thumb in the video. Just stare at it for 15 minutes.
On a different note: Are there any good screencaps of Brawl from the actual movie? I can't seem to find any good ones on Google. I'm curious to rediscover what he _actually_ looked like.

Love it!
No one has shown it off yet, so I'd imagine no ankle tilts on him?

Damn, aside from his tail he's really good.

YEESH. I'm gonna be tempted to just cut that right off, I know it.

It's actually split apart and becomes the quad barreled cannon on his arm. If you look at his final concept design you can see the shape of the barrel in the outer panels… I love the idea of that, but I also understand that will most likely never be fashioned into a toy. Not even a MPM Brawl. Which is why I don't mind how it lays on his back on SS Brawl.

Watched that "review"… the only real thing bothering me is the tank barrel hanging off his back. I'm sure I'll get used to it in hand.

So the main turret doesn't move, the weapons parts-form, the gun barrel just hangs behind his legs, his hands are just part of a huge kibble block, and it's $30.
Just getting my facts straight before completely deciding against getting this and being perfectly content with my older Leader class and Deluxe versions.
Another disappointment as I was looking forward to this one as well. First Blackout, now Brawl. At least I have Starscream, which is quite nice, and Megatron to look forward to. For now.

Apart from the unfortunate hands, this looks like a good toy, and more accurate than the previous ones.
But poor Brawl..I just don’t care enough about him. Not as much as a Bonecrusher or Blackout, even though his scenes were awesome.
Olivus Prime
Whoa man… That's kind of what I meant, it's an odd addition to have it sticking out of his hip on the Leader figure (I always detach it) and it's undeniably cumbersome mounted on the Deluxe's arm (especially with the accurate weapon molded on the other end, like is he meant to have it rotated with a massive cannon pointing backwards down his arm?). I forgot that the Legends figure stowed it somewhere though, credit to that design.
pcsguy88
They could have at least made those weapons attach inside those arm panels to combine the bulk.
Shmoptimus Prime
I’m hoping there’s an easy way to mod the gun barrel so it’s not just hanging down like that. Ratchet’s back rack was easy to mod and it greatly improves the figure from an almost unforgivable flaw.

Seeing that video of Brawl honestly kinda killed my hype for the figure. I was already kinda on the fence with him as, while it is lost somewhere in storage, I DO have the leader class already and this just..doesn't really compare. The arms are such a letdown (and people complain about Blackout's), the partsforming with the weapons is a bit of a bummer, it just…I dunno, I was really really hoping for more from him :/
