to me, the best combiner I have seen, utilizing few more extras than original components that came with the original G1 release... I personally hate seeing combiners that use figures that only sit on pieces attached to the main bot, I want to see G1 style combiners that use only a few parts to attach the smaller bots to the main bot, and you have accomplished that the G1 figures look good, and adding the few extra pieces actually compliment the Swindle & Brawl legs to make him taller and look more uniform. I would love to try something similar with my extra Aerialbots, I have lying around, you have inspired me to attempt something.... but to me Bruticus, always was to most aesthetically pleasing combiner, Menasor looked like a box with feet, Superion looks like a jet on stilts, don't get me wrong I love Superion, but I like Bruticus better... By the way...has anyone every thought about how Blast off would be one hell of a huge arm, considering he's supposed to be a space shuttle, and Swindle would make him gimpy compared to Brawl......just saying? DAMN GOOD JOB, again, the best combiner I have seen, a close behind would be and I don't remember who did them, but all the combiners that were made articulated by the same guy....those I like as well.
I agree with the general consensus... looks completely natural... at first glance it just looks like how I've always imagined Bruticus in my mind, then I saw the pics of the original and realized how poor it looks in comparison. Your version is perfect.
I like this... REALLY like this! Any chance we can see a custom set produced similar to what CrazyDevy did for Devastator? If so, put me down for a set for sure!
There's something about your Bruticus that just makes it "Pop!" . Your mods are so seamless, subtle but yet when one takes in the entire figure, Every single little piece, every component, just works together that much better . & then your paint job brings it to the next level. Just about Perfect!
Wow, lots of beautiful words, thanks guys. TO: shadowfall1976 I was planning to do the same way to Superion and even rest of other combiners too. BTW, looking forward your Superion and we could share ideas~~~
thats is also bother me when my mind thinking to make this giant conbiner in MP scale...soon...however IMO the real sizes have to be "cheat" sumtime considering the Transformers can shrink/reduce/enlarge its own body nucleus particles..like Megatron,Soundwave,Blaster and sum others... back to subject....best bruticus ever in classic sizes
Sorry to bump an old thread, but I think you should put these pictures in TFW's customs galleries. And do you have plans for other combiners?
