    Honestly, as long as the colors MOSTLY match the colors used here on the animation Combaticons, I'll be alright. :)

    I like Blast Off much more. Not quite as chunky and has more g1 design cues. Vortex still looks too overweight but if the rest turn out more like Blast Off I'll most likely be in. I honestly think the Aerialbots look far better.

    These look much bigger to me. The TW Arialbots dwarf that Jazz and I think the Warbotron Bruticus guys would be right around his height.

    Vortex looks like his arms and legs aren't extended all the way. I don't mean that I think that's what actually happened, just that the way his proportions look, his arms and legs look like they should be longer. It would be pretty cool if it were really that simple to improve him, but it seems a little unlikely they'd make a mistake like that setting him up. Alt mode also actually looks kind of stubby.

    Also, not a fan of all the purple. Blast off isn't too bad though. I think his shuttle mode actually looks great.

    Not feeling this at all. Vortex looks like Blackout with an injection of Dreamwave steroids.

    Translucent plastic for the feet too? That won't end well.

    Blast Off's shuttle mode is nice but having the cockpit windows sit behind his head in bit mode looks really weird.

    Easy money saved.

    Probably Devastator hands. The shoulder connectors look the same too so we'll be able to do this in time perhaps:

    So much for a four-blade copter. Not four, not even five, SIX blades and Blackout he is.
    I'm going to stop grumbling now because there isn't anything new to say, but I am freakin' disappointed with this "TW is the new TFC" direction. They would have made a shitton of money off me if they'd stuck to Constructor-style.

    Even the new hand weapons look TFC-ish, jeez.

    Vortex is still a nope, Blastoff looks a lot better and someone finally gave him the bloody rocket nozzle feet! That was for me something that made Blastoff different and it always annoyed me that mostly no one used that design part.

    Individual bots are more important to me than the combined form, so right now this is looking like a pass, which sucks. Blast-Off looks pretty good despite the stupidly huge forearms, but wtf were they thinking with Vortex?!

    Vortex is just wrong, that one bad decision will cost them a hellova lotta sales! Certainly cost them mine. What a foolish choice.....

    It's a new day, so I'm going to pile on again. What horrible design choices! What the hell are they thinking? This is so disappointing. I hope this monstrosity doesn't discourage other third parties from taking a crack at bruticus. I also hope toyworld gets this near universal shitty feedback.
