    Well this may well be a confirmation on CW Bruticus

    So Blastoff will be a retool of the Vortex/Alpha Bravo mold, Vortex himself will be purple, and Brawl may be a new mold. Interesting. I do like his combiner gun though.

    I think it was a given, but this design is clearly G1 to a T.

    The event's kind of worthless, when there's still issues with the cores drop glitch :/

    Here are screenshots of the characters. Vortex is definitely off the AB character design, but I can't see anything from the others. Does Swindle look like Offraod?

    I'm like 90% certain these are based on the G1 molds.

    Yeah, you're right, they look more like G1 molds than CW molds.

    Aww man. I wish those were based on the CW molds. :( 

    Well at least they appear not to be, assuming HasTak wouldn't stick that close to the G1 molds.

    this is a good sign that cw bruticus is coming. it's also a good sign that bruticus has no new members and is based closely on g1. there's no need for them to make a new member for bruticus or change him much from g1. another site had listed bruticus as having no new members as well.

    Yep, pretty sure they said they were doing him on some interview.

    I love these and that combiner gun is nice and beefy.

    I'm still wondering when the beasts will be, having a huge turtle voyager will be a nice change up from some other beasts.

    Interesting how this is based on G1 Bruticus instead of the hypothetical CW Bruticus. You'd think they'd promote the upcoming toy instead. Now that I think of it, couldn't they have done a Defensor event now that CW Defensor ' s been released?

    I'm curious too why they didn't do Defensor. Not using the CW Bruticus makes sense, it could be that they're not designing him or Hasbro made a contract with a media outlet to show him off first.

    Thus far I've stayed away from this, but if they're doing a combiner almost every week we're likely not too far from Piranacon.

    Are we.

    this game just keps getting more outragous. The events are getting almost impossible to win a character and the cost of items is exorbitant. It is a very fun game but man, they should make it a bit easier to get good characters.

    agreed, wish they would keep the game a bit more balanced. In the beginning you can work your way up to the good characters. Now the premium characters are bit over powering.
