I won an auction on flea bay for a replacement Onslaught to go with my FP upgrade set. When I was looking at some pictures from the auction. I realized I didnt recognize the colors. It's not the ROTF colors or the Energon, Can anybody shed a little light?
Sorry for the crappy pics they are screen caps from my Iphone.

 

IIRC ROTF Bruticus re release.

 

I just compared the Tfwiki image with the ones you posted. I'm almost certain it is the ROTF version.

The paint schemes are the same, and that's the only usage of the mold in anything even remotely resembling that I've seen.

 

It's the RotF version with the Energon Bruticus head.

 

I thought the ROTF version was grays not greens like this one?
Yea the seller said they didnt have original head. (dont need it anyway.)

 

do you think maybe with the flash and the background the color is just washed out?

 

I know I got it for a pretty good price to.

 

I'm sure it is.

Onslaught24, is this rare? I thought a lot of people offloaded theirs when FP Bruticus came out since the Energon version was so easy to get, and more G1 accurate, making a lot of people get rid of the Onslaught, along with the retail Swindle and Blast Off.

 

I was courious about that also.

 

That's much more green than my ROTF version, but it has the ROTF markings. I'm not aware of any re-release after the initial release of that mold at Target stores.

 

It's by no means rare. Just highly sought after. There's a difference.

 

IIRC the Energon deco is pretty hard to find, wasn't it in one of the last two Deluxe assortments that barely made it out to US retail? I know it never really made full saturation along with Roadblock / the Grapple styled Inferno remold.

 

On the other hand, it was one of the toys later released to Big Lots and other clearance outlets, where it was available for several years afterward, IIRC.

I personally didn't have any troubles finding him. Consistently saw him through to the end of the line. It was the last set of limbs that I only saw once or twice (which I bought, naturally).

 

I think it was the fixed plate version (the one that bruticus head is on) is rare but the unfixed one was more common

 

Yeah, the Energon version was very easy to get thanks to the repackaged UNiverse version being available at Big Lots, Family Dollars, and the like. I definitely was still finding it as late as 2010... I considered picking one up just for shiggles but they were incredibly easy to get if you wanted one.

 

Universe or ROTF. Can't tell the difference imo. Either way it's identical, I think.

 

It's the Universe2/ROTF one, the picture's just washed out due to poor lighting.
