Just a simple question that popped into my head while I am anxiously waiting for my set. What are you guys doing with the extra Bruticus Maximus parts (ie. head) and figures? Storage? Selling? Separate display? Etc?

 

The 2 left over figures are standing displayed with my Bruticus. As for the remaining parts...there stored away in a zip lock bag with the rest of Tformer parts I have.

 

I need the takng/leg limb from bruticus if anyone wants to sell me one. Or if anyone wants to sell the tank limb and the fansproject add on set if they have an extra, than i could buy it all in one place

 

parts in a bin with the rest of the accessories, and the bots haven't done anything with yet

 

I'm surprised so few are selling them on, would certainly help out alot of those collectors stuck finding Bruticus Maximus.

 

i'll just use the extra limbs for my other mismatched incomplete energon combiners  

 

I saw someone on here rename the "Swindle" helicopter, Sandstorm. So, I'm changing the Decepticon symbols to Autobot ones, and putting him with them.

 

Sold off the other limbs and accessories...

 

Given to my daughter. Swindle has been renamed 'Helicopter Rocket' and she's having great fun with it  

 

I'm looking to sell off my Swindle chopper and Blast-Off tank if anyone is interested. Just send me a PM.

 

swindle and blastoff will join gunbarrel and reverb with a headless storm jet and the bruticus max head as a new combiner  

 

I have an extra Energon Barricade I got from a store. Maybe I'll make another Combiner using Ceossfire A, B and the left over limbs. I'll keep the original head as well.

 

They are shoved into a corner somewhere. I intend to add them to the "pile off dead bots" that will be part of the battle field display. I might have to mod them a bit so they can stay under foot without knocking over the figures that are still alive.

 

Thanks for the info guys.

I was thinking I may use them in some sort of custom I haven't thought of yet. Maybe some good parts for articulated something G1 like KO insecticons.

 

Sold them as I will never have used them again because of the Greatness of FPs Blast-Off and Swindle.

 

I shall call him.. "Surplus Maximus"

 

The head is going into storage, while helicopter Swindle is joining Reverb, Gunbarrel, E-Blight and an extra E-Barricade for a new combiner. Not sure what I'll do with tank Blast Off.

 

Put the parts in my "big red bin" and the actual toys are standing on my Energon shelf.

 

You know, I actually really like the interplay of purple and orange on tank Blast Off, so I think I'll be keeping him on display, maybe as a drone/duplicate for "Explorer", kinda like the backstory they had for the duplicate Smokescreens in the Binaltech line. I don't know about Heli-Swindle, though.

One thing people were griping about initally with the Bruticus Crossfire sets was that the new replacement figures would not have raised faction logos and energon crystals. I'm *MAYBE* considering transplanting them from the replaced figures to the new ones, but I'm not sure where they would fit on Munitioner and Explorer. Any ideas?

 

The chopper & tank are on display in front of Bruticus.
