    I noticed that swindle has two "hands",
    which allow for a Multi-Arm Monster version:

    I don't have the rest of the characters, do any of the others have two hands also?

    Brawl and Blast Off sort of do. Their combined mode hand is formed by two halves, which could probably be set up similarly to that.
    Vortex has just one hand.

    Seems like a good thread to ask this: do we know the differences between the SDCC and the Platinum "vs. Grimlock" versions of these figures? Upon cursory inspection they look pretty similar to me, but I'm sure there are differences.

    Only difference I could see was that Vortex is shiny

    "hands"? Why'd you put it that way? They are, in fact, hands. He's the only one who has two of them. The rest of them have a universal hand. Why? Because they're all Scramble City inspired. Each of the limbs can become an arm or a leg, both left and right. There's no "multi-arm monster" version of it. Just Bruticus, nothing more, nothing less.

    Blast Off has a hand with two thumbs, allowing him to switch from right to left.
    Vortex has a thumb that swivels to switch sides.
    Brawl uses his bot mode feet as the thumb, the black panels on his legs form the fingers, again, the feet can make him either the right or left arm.
    And Swindle, well, you found his other hand.

    Great, thanks! I'm happy to hear that, I think getting this will make up for never gettign through Hasbro's online gauntlet to get a Bruticus last year.
