I never really had a good photoshoot taken of this monster, so I just compiled a few pics of toys I used, WIPs and Botcon 2007. This was my 5th kitbash, and will probably be the biggest kitbash I'll ever do. He's based on Unicron's hips, and Primus' han---well, not really 
Bruticus took 5 months to design and build. The Combaticons are based on 2-Tonka Mighty Dump trucks(Onslaught), a Barbie Jumbo-jet(Blastoff), a military helicopter(Vortex), an r/c tank(Brawl) an r/c Hummer(Swindle) and a Lego-Bionicle helmet for the head. Everything else was scratch-built. I used the turret motor from the r/c tank and installed it in the head, so you can move the head back and forth by r/c. I also installed a battery-operated display base inside Vortex so his blades turn for display. I even put the 3 disable buttons on his back just in case. 
Just about everything went into the making including 2x4s, 4x6s, plywood, basswood, pvc pipe & couplings, styrene, sheetmetal, conduit, flexible gas-line, abs, springs, & various other hardware.
Bruticus stands at 7', weighs 180lbs, 4' wide & 2 feet thick. I designed him to come apart, but not transform. After I was done I broke him down and drove both he and Devastator up to Rhode Island for Botcon 2007. Paramount actually put a 2-second shot of him on the TFTM 2-disc in the special features section covering Botcon 2007 and the history of Transformers titled "Their War" I believe.
The last pic is the autographs of Aaron Archer, Stan Bush, Alex Kurtzman, Bob Orci & Robby Musso and Nick Roche of IDW.
For the hardcore collectors interested, Bruticus is for sale...  |

You should do a proper gallery and submit it to TFW before selling him off (and Devastator too, if you haven't already). Lemonprime's TF sales/trades thread

You do great work!! | Ha ha, I would commission a Unicron, but I certainly wouldn't do it just to do it. I've had Optimus Prime in the back of my mind for a loooong time, though.  | |
