    She isn't, but give PE some time and maybe they'll figure out an adapter kit.

    Look what you have started.
    Now everybody wants to combine with Elita's team.
    Who doesn't wanna join a hot chicks team. :D 

    Beachcomber combining.

    I've also tried Bumblebee, Brawn and Seaspray.
    These guys cannot combine with Elita's team.

    Why can't the new Seige chromia just get a chest swap to become a combiner?

    It still is the moonracer/firestar mold, right?

    Given the similarities, Most likely they started with the same cad model, but given the amount of rework done I strongly suspect the parts aren’t 1:1

    Well some madman used shapeways parts to modify CW Brawl for use with the FP Bruticus
    As good as this looks I still think the CW version has the superior torso mode and I dare say Prime Wars Blast Off is a more reasonable buy than Explorer. I like it but at the same time it confuses me.

    Even if you could add a combiner plug to attach to the torso you still have the problem of no 5mm port for the hand/foot on the other end. It is disappointing she can't combine but there is always the chance for Lancer.

    The entire upper body has been redone. Her chest no longer flips out. The rear tires are now attached to the wings. Her lower legs and feet have been redone. The car canopy has been reworked as well.
    Best result for using Chromia, is taking her head and gun and finding a matching shade of blue to paint Moonracer with. That's if the neck uses the same ball joint.

    I have CW Deluxe Vortex, Swindle, and Brawl scheduled for delivery on Thursday. I have Onslaught and the Prime Wars Blast Off already so I'm pretty excited to finally have a complete Combiner Wars Bruticus. I currently have CW Superion, CW Menasor, UW Devastator, Hasbro Computron, and PotP Abominus.

    Yes, it is Feral Rex with CW Menasor. Bruticus is CW also, just with DNA Designs upgrades.

    Ah, I see. :)  So he does scale well with CW/UW/PoTP combiners like Bruticus and Volcanicus with foot upgrades. On one hand that's great if you want to keep your CHUG collection in one scale, but it's shit on your wallet because Feral Rex is way more expensive than nearly any CW/UW figure. Hell I'm having trouble finding Muitioner at a decent price, the Feral Rex version of Predaking might need me to sell a kidney on the black market.

    I had no problem finding Munitioners...

    I think I still have a few more in box.

    I suggest looking at complete FP colossus sets on ebay, might be a cheaper option in the long run... sell off what you don't want. :thumb

    Very cool indeed and really glad you snapped a picture to share with us. What add-ons are on the Bruticus cause i like the feet and the big gun barrels on the back.
