It's out on retail here costing a little above USD50. |

First off, I think the Universe packaging for Bruticus is better than the RotF packaging that he'll be getting. I like the larger box art instead of just a CGI head pic, and Bruticus was intended to be a G1 homage/Universe release, so the box is more appropriate, too.
Anyways, the toy itself is pretty cool. This is the first combiner I've gotten since I got Tripredacus for Christmas back when it was released, and I'm pleased with this particular set. I do think it's slightly "lazy" to have two pairs of the same mold, but it works. The colors are great, fit the characters well. I also like some of the smaller details, like the "1MJ9" on Brawl, that read upside-down looks like "BRWL," and the $ on Swindle. Bruticus also has a pretty cool headsculpt, and I like the light-piping. The hands and feet are kind of weird, especially since they're asymmetrical in the "official" transformation. Poseability is good compared to, say, my G2 Devastator, so that's a plus. And the individual robots are neat, especially Vortex and Swindle.
Overall, this is a pretty cool set and I'm very pleased with it. As someone who keeps some TFs MISB as well, I think the Universe packaging looks better than the RotF packaging, so any MISB collectors might want to go for this one.
One of my favorite recent purchases, 4/5 
Black Prime...Black Soundwave...Black Incinerator...Black Taco

The Treadshot doesn't look much like a shuttle compared to the more round-ish proportions of the Sky Shadow IMO. | |

#188 | | The Old Bearded Guy Join Date: Dec 2008 Posts: 2,713 Location: Physically - Grove City, Pa ... Mentally - Still In Disney World Collection Count: 150 plus some sweet ROTF RPM's | I love this guy. For newer collectors like myself that weren't around during the Energon series, I tell you he is a very cool addition to a collection. His joints hold together very well, and he is very well ballanced. Colors are also very awesome. 30 bucks may be a lot to some and I can't blame you but he is as tall or taller than all of my leader class figs. ROTF Bruticus Maximus 2 by thenatureboywoo, on Flickr

The muted colors work pretty well, and the joints are surprisingly tight.  How the Animated toy line REALLY came to an end
