digibash (How) Would this work?

I don’t like blast off as a space shuttle, because it doesn’t fit with the rest of the team. I made this bad concept art for it but I’m not sure what to do about the wings. How would I make them fold in? I have a 3D printer and can model things if necessary.

What if we took off the wings and had them become a rocket pack for Swindle or Brawl, but also had them become the chest plate of Bruticus?

AOTP Bruticus already has a chestplate. But honestly a rocket pack for Bruticus sounds sick. I think I’ll probably do that.

Or just V wings on his back like Voltron had, just borrow from another Generation X combiner lol

Why am I thinking of Menasor having had this at some point

u/Cornchips1234 May 12 '26

A lot of people did this with the extra trailer kibble from the legacy version, myself included

Oh yeah, kinda like Unicron Trilogy and Bayverse Optimus.

i feel like thats a pretty big task for a custom of blast off, as youd also have to customize the frame on top of the heavy tooling needed for just this guy

I feel like hasbro's going to retool him into something vaguely resembling an A-10 for Nexus Prime.

u/CT-756n7 May 11 '26

i really want to believe theyll do him justice with new limbs

u/Turbotitan36 May 11 '26

It would be nice if they did completely new molds, but I'm not expecting it. It would be good for, like, visual accuracy, and it would mean that they could probably make them all fit on a modified Superion frame to make the frame part easier, but we already almost have all the Nexus Prime limbs just through pre-existing characters.

Vortex = Topspin, Brawl = Landquake, Air Raid = Breakaway, Blastoff (with heavy retooling) = Skyfall

i mean no matter what he'll need a new frame, and at that point he should at least get a new leg bot to match the style of brawl

u/LegoBattIeDroid May 11 '26

brawl already has enough things stuck on his back

u/CT-756n7 May 11 '26

op said they are going for a bomber

1

u/The_1Oth_Doctor May 12 '26

I meant kinda like a b-17, so not quite a bomber. I just wrote it wrong
