    The head sculpts look fantastic. Love it. Reminds me of TW Megatron. Quite direct.

    Too bad Hasbro/Takara were beaten to it. Tsk. Tsk.

    Too bad the original post is likely not going to get updated since that was the posters first and only post

    Looks to be more or less in the TFC/MMC combiner scale which is a huge plus as far as I'm concerned. Definitely looking foward to learning more about this set.

    it needed to be done. FP had YEARS to remake the rest of the members better for a full bruticus....they didn't. this thing looks like it will blow anything FP ever made out of the water. i LOVE that they showed it next to a tiny FP Intimidated bot. lol.

    There will be no bruticus war. this company looks far enoough along and i can't imagine any of the known players releasing anything that looks this good (that isn't already tied up with their own projects). For those thinking this is an offshoot of TFC? i don't see it. These bots look much better and more detailed. they are chunky....but TFC doesn't corner the market on that. The lone criticism i have here i the elbows, but although they are similar to FP's Intimadated, it looks a lot more fucntional and less "empty". i can't stop gushing at this thing.

    Where is the TFC Link to this coming from? The name for this project is WB-01, so this might be their first product. Just like Takara's MP-01, or Fans Toys's FT-01. The faces for all 5 figures look fantastic, and so do all the individual robots and individual alt modes.

    Not just that it looks thick actually unlike MT/FP's delicateformers.

    These guys have been reading here quite extensively. I hope they break more barriers by distributing tons of these which would lower the price.

    I like it, but it seems a little late to the party. Probably giving it a pass because I have Colossus.

    I really can't see this guy being cheap; that's the only negative I'm taking away.

    The articulated hands being the reason why. If they're going that far, that's a LOT of parts this guy has, and that isn't cheap.

    Panicked silhouette reveal from a rival 3P group in 3, 2, 1...

    But seriously, I'm impressed; this is the Bruticus I have been waiting for.

    Individual bots seem to have articulated fingers also! I can see the pins on the hands!
