Hasbro- Transformers- Combiner Wars: Firefly.



One day I’m going to sort out who is a repaint of who in these Combiner Wars sets, but for now I do know that Fire Fly here is a repainted Blast-Off, or rather the other way around, but there’s not really anything wrong with that given the much different paint scheme and the different head. Of the two I think I like Firefly better, but that could be due to better colors and the fact that I’m still salty about Blastoff not being a Shuttle.

In prep for this review and not knowing too much about G1 Firefly (Or Fireflight- G1 Name) I went back to the G1 source material to watch their “birth”. Apparently there is a pretty good reason for not remembering him as it seems the show makers felt the same way.

Check out around 3:55 to see all the Aerialbots introduce themselves with Fireflight getting completely blocked out by Primes head. That’s some Mike Wazowski level trolling right there.

Pros: Of the whole team I would say that Firefly is my favorite. Solid head sculpt and colors, great transformation and articulation and I love the look of both modes.

Cons: I don’t think that he’s historically been a leg…
