    another thing that will continue to bum me out is the fact that dreadwing doesn't come with his show weapon.

    Um.

    That's an exclusive you have to pay about $70 bucks for at SDCC or buy on HasbroToyShop during then.

    At least, according to the board member I asked about.

    I still have hope we'll get Bruticus correct colors somehow.

    I have more questions (Extended from the first thread about SDCC Bruticus)
    When is he going to be available, where, and how much? Or do we know yet?

    You are correct. I have him.

    I don't think even the retail neon version is going to be much cheaper than that. $13 for 5 Deluxes? That's already $65 right there. And with a lot of places now selling Deluxes for $15, $70 would be a $5 discount.

    Well, actually, I hear a lot of people saying it'll probably be $80-$100.

    You and me both, Autovolt. This is the one place where there are supposed to be big reveals, and the only figs we didnt know about were the voyager soundwave thndertron and the foc insecticon

    I dont even know, theres so many different shapes and box arts for both bruticus and cliff that i cant keep track

    Yes he does, the big yellow powerizer gun is molded to look like his grenade launcher

    if by "dat Airachnid" you mean "Dat airachnid, just for a second, made me lose faith in existence because it's so bad" then you are correct sir

    Dont get me wrong, i was expecting so much, and even after we saw rhe catalogue pic i was a little optimistic, but if you look closely at the pics you can clearly tell that all ariachnid does to transform is open up. It made me sad :cry

    There's going to be a FOC insecticon toy!?

    WOOT! Are there pics?
    Or was that insect-looking thing it? Either way, it contributes to the idea that there will be more FOC toys!

    I keep looking at the pics of zombie Cliffjumper and I keep thinking that I could make a custom one and be just as happy.

    No ideea how I'll get SDCC Bruticus as I'm in UK but it must be mine!

    As a test I put up pictures of game colour Bruticus and Brut-aid side and asked my 4 year old daughter which was better. She's usually spot on with my preferences, but this time she was all out in favour of "the one with the bright colours". Looks like we'll be getting one of each in the house then...

    I want that Dreadwing. Lookin' awesome.


    Seems to be a typical thing for Hasbro's SDCC TF toys. There's the outer box, and the inner box/package for the toy. Last year's Prime Optimus had the box with the matrix-shaped package inside. Cliffjumper has the 'chest box' and the creepy zombie head package that goes inside. I think the Bruticus artsy box is the outside box in this case, and the windowed box goes inside that.

    ... maybe.

    i'll revise what i meant.. i wish dreadwing came with his show accurate gun.. not a big hung of ugly clear plastic that vaguely resembles his show weapon.

    i agree with you on airachnid. there was so much they could've done with it.. they could've marketed it as a triple changer.

    i really hope some third party company comes up with a different more accurate set of propellors.

    Yea it was that purple yellow and black mess, honestly if people didnt refer to it as an insecticon i wouldnt have been able to tell :/ Im holding out for the (hopefully) kickass Prime insecticon figure, assuming we get one

    Theres a reprolabels dark energon sticker set, but you'd have to have someone to put it on. Personally, id rather just have the normal version and be done with it. they said theyre trying to make the fe figures more available, i just didnt think they meant in a sure-to-be-expensive convention exclusive

    Can't argue with that, bud ;p

    Honestly i was expecting too much from Airachnid, my minimum was they at least had to do enough so that the third parties didnt have to touch it. That figure had so much potential. the vehicle mode, ill admit, looks passable, but the robot mode is utter spit
