    So I finally saw fruiticus at retail today (target had all 5). I didn't buy them because I have dudicus sitting in my BBTS pol, but I have to say,in person they look better than they do in photos. Now, I will say that the combined mode still seems to be crap, but as individual bots, I really liked these guys, particularly brawl and blast-off. I think I realized FOC Bruticus' main problem. It isn't that the colors are bright, it's that they are bright in the wrong places. Onslaught is dim and dull in color compared to the limbs, so having these flagrant limbs against a subdued toned body is alarming and off putting. Either go all bright colors, or have it be brightest in the middle and work its way to duller colors towards the extremities.

    If they go on clearance or I see them during a b1g1 sale or something, I will probably buy blast off and brawl, maybe swindle.

    You mean for a voyager onslaught? I've considered writting a letter to the biggest party companies like maketoys, iGear, and others. But thats all it is, a consideration, ultimately if a company got enough letters asking for one they might do it, but if i had to pay as much as the entire G2 set i wouldn't complain, till then i'm quite content with the hasbro onslaught =)

    Topspin comes with two sets of guns. Longer and shorter ones.
    Looks like you used the longer guns in that pic.

    yep a voyager onslut (yes hes slutted out) would be so helpful in making this figure so much better.. to add to it, i hate how he looks like fat joe from 5 years ago trying to lean back....

    he needs the following to make him ultra bad ass:

    Backpack with cannons, real articulating hands, and a BFG aka big gun to make him look the part of bruticus..... i wouldnt have minded paying 150 for this at retail if he looked like a 150 dollar toy...
