Uhhh... the only gestault that was ever anatomically correct was RoTF Devastator (who technically wasn't a gestault cause all the constructicons were like 3 miles away when his component vehicles combined), and we all saw how great that worked out.

 

I... wow. Yeah, I'm pretty sure Bnz Toy meant "correct" in terms of being proportionate. I sincerely doubt his "one great hope" is for Bruticus to be packing some extra firepower down below.

 

 

Defensor looks fine.

Let's not forget that these are techno-organic aliens and not humans.

 

Yeah, I don't think some bit of awkwardness to the proportion is bad as long as the robot doesn't look puffy or derpy. The articulation is there and the proportions are reasonable. They look dynamic. That is all you should expect from a robot line. These aren't and never should be Marvel Legends.

 

He gets it.  

Yes, they are, but clearly we saw them in the cartoons proportionate to the human body. Other than Superion, all the other combiners look like they just fell on the pommel horse with their legs spread. To each his own, but I would really hope Bruticus doesn't look like that.

 

That's kind of what most of the G1 combiners look like...
I get the hate for Defensor, but Menasor is actually the best of the first two Combiners in my opinion.

 

Hot Spot is almost definitly going to be retooled to Onslaught. So don't expect much difference in proportion.

 

Oh well, still looking forward to Bruticus, still with hope... although Probe is right, I can't see how the HotSpot mold will change much.

 

Super pumped about bruticus
