Yep. Not horrible like most, myself included, thought. I think these will be very nice on the ol' collection shelf.

This sums it up nicely. Third parties are very expensive because a lot more by-hand work goes into these and these companies don't have the bankroll that Hasbro and Takara have. I have never bought a 3rd party figure or accessory, and I never will. I don't care how accurate the get to the tv, comic, or game... It just is not worth it, at least to me.

Then again, if I had the thousands of dollars to spend like some other people here, maybe I'd bite.

Welcome to the internet.

I think people will get these regardless if they went on clearance... isn't it a bit early to have that discussion anyway? They haven't even hit store shelves in the US!

the 3rd party toys are nice,but a waste of time & money in my book.,when years to come they will be worth not even half as much as the real toys..just say'n!!..

This might actually be my favorite deco for Bruticus.

I hate the SDCC one. It's too dull.

I'm not impressed by the color scheme. I bet we will see some custom repaints real soon.

Well I hope this doesnt get scalped to hell. I would actually like a fighting chance of getting them all! The colors are so so. But hey Im going to get him. I love the Combiners. Then onto Generations Grimlock this coming March

Brawl- Fantastic Robot mode, The huge backpack kills it though. The vehicle mode is superb.
Blastoff- Why did they make him purple? It looks horrible. Robot mode is great and he is accurate in both vehicle and and robot mode.
Vortex- Robot mode is ruined, Vehicle mode has no jet mode so it only gets 5/10 because the helicopter mode is fantastic.
Bruticus- What the fuck am I looking at?......This is NOT Bruticus. I think Willy Wonka got sick and threw up all over him.

All the things you just listed are WHY i like it.

Okay, these aren't AS bad as they looked in the official images. Still getting the G2 version, but I wouldn't mind getting these at retail should I ever run into a spare $75 + tax.

Bleh, this version just gets worse every time I see a new picture of it.

Kylehudson14 · 08-26-2012, 01:36 AM

OK I admit it, its not bad

Now that people are getting this version in hand, opinions are changing.

Onslaught here is the best version to date. Blast Off looks good too.
