SDCC Bruticus

The configuration in the first picture looks the best (Swindle/Vortex for arms and Blast Off/Brawl for legs). But Blast Off as an arm looks horrible.

I'm still passing on this. Isn't worth the $100+shipping to Canada.

Looks great! Hopefully I'll be able to snag one off HTS.

Just keep your G2 Preorder. Personally, I think that one looks better anyway (be it combined or as the 5 bots), and it's pretty unique in its own right.

Thanks for the review. Definitely the best shots I've seen of him. I'm still curious how the individual bots stand up, size wise, to other deluxes.

Might get it on the secondary market but the colors of the individual robot modes look a little flat.

Thanks for the review. I was thinking from the G2 picture that Blast Off my work best as a leg, and your first picture all but confirms that. I'm getting the G2 repaint and this makes me happy I've got that preorder in.

Okay, first off thank you thank you thank you for posting a review. I've been looking forward to an actual "I've messed with it and figured out how it works" review rather than just a "I took him out of the box and followed the instructions have some pics" photoshoot all week.

Second, a few questions of mine that I haven't seen answered yet. Can Onslaught's gun attach to his back in robot mode? And I've noticed that in all Blast Off pics his lower legs are thin and long, and there's a hinge in the middle. Can that hinge be used to fold his legs in half and make them normal sized?

Hoping to pic this/these guy/s on HTS when the SDCC stuff hits. Might pick up the energon release, like the G2 set but haven't decided yet, and I'll probably get the wreckers. This one'll be the decider for the first two.

So how tight are Bruticus' joints? Is he a floppy mess as I had first feared, or is he sturdy?

Bob Schoonover · 07-14-2012, 08:17 PM

Kind of a random question, but could someone post a picture of Onslaught in robot mode with the Bruticus head?

I'm mostly interested in how Impactor will look with the Xaaron head.
