    Word. I also noticed two things: first, the box art doesn't show windows on Explorer. Second, the windows are red in the in hand photos. Thought it was supposed to be purple like the toy. Maybe they are stickers and you have options?

    I'm really digging the new set, blue feet and all. The old version is great with the drab military colors but I find myself preferring the new set. The brighter colors make him look closer to the cartoon.

    I really need to track down United Bruticus.

    That would be nice. I preferred him w/o the cockpit.

    Me too initially, but its funny how peer influence after that can have such an effect on your opinion, now I'm not so sure

    I'm still excited about this release. Why is it the fandom is always up in arms over feet and/or ankles? I'm glad the feet will match when connected to Onslaught's vehicle mode, making it more cohesive. Granted, I'll probably never have them in vehcle mode, but it;'s nice to have that option. I haven't once wavered since putting up the preorder on Tfsource a while back. These people complaining now will be the same ones whining about secondary prices later on when it's sold out in the usual places and when whatever other secret extras come with it are revealed. Same thing happens every time or so it seems. You can't please every sucker born yesterday.

    Welcome to the fandom.

    I'm with you though, I'm glad the feet match onslaught's leg bits.

    I can't wait to have him standing next to my Yellow Giant. I know I liked the first release of this set but since the colors didn't pop out as much as I would have liked them to. The new set looks so much cleaner and Honestly I can give a rats ass that his feet match the leg colors seriously who is going to be staring at his feet when you've got two loaded shotguns in your face.

    I can't Wait to have these guys in bot mode in front of my "ROTF" bruticus. As much as I love the combined mode on this guy, I actually kinda like the other two modes for each figure just a little more.

    I don't know if it's just me, but the drab flat grey on the United Bruticus chest looks like absolute garbage. I already own the ROTF set and was relatively committed to buying this new release, but that chest just bugs the crap out of me.

    Yeah I'm not too crazy about the colors on the united version, I'll be slapping these parts on the Engergon version. The FP blues might not match as well with Energon but I doubt it's going to bother me that much.

    Well regardless of the chest color, someone really needs to make him a chest piece anyways, along with the longish "smoke stacks" on his back his chest guard/crest is what made Bruticus, Bruticus
