    Looks too clumsy and chunky. Really take some suspension of disbelief to see that bot flying.

    And for me personally I cannot stand the look of this kind of feet, feet that are hollow/too flat/looking unfinished and just borrowed from some random parts of the vehicle that happened to be the end of the leg parts in robot mode.

    And here I was hoping that this would be the ultimate bruticus that I would get for my combiner collection. Maybe generation toys or Maketoys will bring us that combiner.

    This, much like Constructor, is going to be one of those, "I'm after the combined mode" for me. I'll probably end up going FT for individual Constructicons (...and Combaticons if they do them) but the TW ones are staying in 1 mode as far as I'm concerned.

    Okay, that isn't what I was hoping for but I will reserve final judgement until I see the rest of the set. :( 
    But for now I'm still happy with Warbo Vortex despite the partsforming front.... :)

    Well, that just saved me a bunch of money till a real Bruticus comes about. That's just awful which is a shame because they nailed the combined look imo.

    Maybe its mistransformed? Its odd seeing the short legs, i cant see the thighs. The warbo guys did better than this.

    I'm not ready to write this off yet. Yes this looks chunky... but from my experience with pictures vs. in hand, I want to see more pictures (or see him in hand myself) before I take a stance on it.

    I've read the arms and legs aren't extended. If so once sorted that should make a difference.

    Most combines suffer from this. One of the 3 modes are generally compromised or the stability is compromised. Honestly, that is a lot of helicopter to squish down to a normal sized bot. One could argue this issue is self inflicted due to the alt-mode choice, but the arm mode looks much cleaner and with a little imagination on how the arm transforms to the helicopter, it looks like the alt mode will look good as well.

    Personally, I'm less worried about this looking exactly like G1 Vortex and more about the quality of the build and it's ability to move and pose, which I will reserve judgment until I see more.

    I just don't understand people who see one picture and then cast judgement on a set of 5 figures and their worthiness to purchase. I'm personally in a wait and see mode.
