Universe 2.0 Bruticus Maximus

Easy pass this is plastic crap. To me this is even worse than the G1 combiners. I only say that because they could have at least given it two different limb which I know is a lot harder to tool and make but it would have grabbed a lot more people into buying it. But it's just a simple repaint which I refuse to buy unless it's the seekers or prowl.

I would have liked to have seen five different molds instead of four of the same and one different. Its kinda boring. I don't know now about this one.

That's pretty close-minded isn't it?
"Unless they repainted it in G1, they're not allowed to repaint it!"

5 unique molds wouldn't have gotten any more kids buying it. So it wouldn't be cost-effective.

Damn. When's the Australian release?

Sorry, I'm not feeling this one. Onslaught looks okay but his last Universe was better. Poor Bruticus, what on Cybertron have they given you for hands?

I have every one of the energon combiners and repaints and just can't get enough of them.

I really hope some sort of TFA combiner is in the works

The Energon gestalts were fine for Energon, I just think it's lame to pass them off as G1 with G1-ish color schemes. Devastator for example, was/is 6 Decepticons and now because of a repaint I'm supposed to buy a 5-member Devvy? Or now buy a Bruticus in which 3 of the 5 Combaticons aren't they're G1 alt? Uh-uh.

I'm glad these all have just been exclusives, but unfortunately because of it, I don't expect Hasbro to be making Classics gestalts with the new molds that they should be using.

Nooo that not what I meant.

I meant that some of the G1 combiners had more ingenuity put into them than this one. With the tech and engineering Hasbro had there is no reason for this to be. Besides for those who missed it the first time.

But with the cost of making new molds as opposed to making repainted reissues would have been more costly as we both stated.

As for what I meant people buying I mostly meant collectors, and in some cases maybe parents. I believe some parents may look at this and say" I'm paying this much for the two of the same figure and a just one different one, I don't think so." My parents did when I was younger.

I'm preferring the colours on this one to the original, they're nice an subdued. Also, the individual molds are all fantastic anyway, especially Onslaught, so that's my reason for buying it.

And I disagree with you on the G1 combiners having more ingenuity put into them, but each to their own.

BTW, this was what I was referring to when I was talking about the repaints.

By ingenuity I mean having five different molds that combine. With this one I feel I'm get a cop out. But to those that like this more power to ya and glad it's not my money wasted.
