An auction for one-of-a-kind Hasbro Generation One artwork has been listed on eBay for a very curious proposed item: a Pretender Twin Twist! According to the seller senuseret72, who deals in many rare pieces like this, this piece was created in-house at Hasbro as part of the product proposal for Pretenders. It looks like the original 1985 Twin Twist art with the shell added to the background in the classic boxart "coming out of the shell" style. Check out the auction HERE!

Combiners return! TF08.net has provided a scan of an instruction sheet for a Transformers Universe 25th Anniversary Bruticus! This appears to be a gift set in the same vein as the Classics Constructicon Devastator. We already saw two of the molds to be included in this set back in August.
This news also makes it very likely that the recolored Superion Maximus who was also seen back in August will also be seeing a gift set release.
Of particular note is that the scan provided by TF08.net indicates that the Bruticus set will be a part of the Generation 1 series, although the combiner will be named Bruticus Maximus after his Energon counterpart (possibly for copyright reasons) the five components will all be named after their Generation 1 counterparts.
TF08 has also shown an image of the upcoming Classics Legends, Brawn and Beachcomber. Encouragingly, Brawn now sports black wheels rather than the green ones from recent promotional images.
