The problem with a Ruination set is that the limbs have a different arrangement. I like having them be different than Bruticus, so I probably wouldn't get a Ruination one unless it supported reversed limbs.

 

I would just put the Ruination limbs with the flyers as arms and be happy, personally...

 

Yes, sorry man I'm not subscribed to X-Transbots FB page and I missed your post.

 

Does this set have a name yet? I'm hoping something fun like the Big Bad Battlin' Accessory Set, or the Defense of the Dudicus...

 

Very interested. Anything to help FOC Bruticus is very much appreciated.

 

Oh, Echo is definitely aware  

Takara version - "You know j00 rika da Shiny" set. I'm just saying  

 

As I understand it, the current rumor about the ruination set is that it would be the last one to come out, but will be more than just a repaint. It would be a new set to take into account the different limb configuration.

Hence why it wasn't an option among the poll choices for the first set color scheme thread:

Here's the quote supporting the rumor.

looks awesome...

 

Definitely picking up the Fruticus one (my favorite color scheme). It looks realy great.

I really like the takara one too but I am not buying another Bruticus set.

 

Not bad at all. Makes me almost want to pull the trigger on a FoC Bruticus. Almost. If there was one I'd want to buy, it'd be the shiny Takara version.

I do wonder if Echo will release his Hercules upgrades in ABS plastic form. I'd love some new elbows and leg extensions.

 

I found the following schedule on the X-Transbots Taobao page (translated with Google Translate):

So it's called the BEK-01R FOC Bruticus Kit, and the US color version is due November 13th. Probably the US retail colors?

 

Yes imo  

 

Still, who is "Ollie"? Something from the Krank and Stax mold? Road Ranger maybe? I was hoping he would be called Pavement Paladin or something like that.

 

Was wondering the same :/

 

Thanks for the info..

     

 

Fruiticus first? Logic prevailed.

 

To be fair the SDCC and Platinum versions are also "US colors", so it's still a little vague.

 

Well, the "R" probably stands for "Retail" version" in the name "BEK-01R" too.

 

US colors clearly means the mass retail version. SDCC is just an exclusive, and Platinum is just an alternate version.

 

Looks like it is....
