    I noticed in brawl's leg mode if you do not fold the feet back, it makes for a longer leg which may have better proportions with regards to the foot. Out of curiosity, does swindle have a similar height adjustment as a leg? I would like for bruticus to stand taller than defensor.
    Nevermind, just saw some pictures of swindle and he does not appear to have a peg hole in the extension that would increase the leg length.

    On the testshot, the waist snaps together pretty good, to the point where you actually have to use some force to unhook it.

    Good to know. Hopefully this issue's going to be resolved, then.

    I don't know... my Combaticon Deluxes arrived today, and I'm looking at Brawl.

    There are two trapezoidal plastic extensions on the bottom of his chest portion where you'd think the black waist section would collapse into. (Got a link to the test shot?) Those two extensions specifically prevent this from collapsing.

    Unless I'm doing it wrong.

    On the plus side, I found a use for the peg on the back of the turret. Can't post a pic here; but look on the last page of his comic book (inside back cover).

    Does the waist has grooves that allow it to slot into the trapezoidal sections?

    Sorry I don't think I was being specific enough. Optibotimus transformed it correctly, but on the test shot it's not floppy at all. The testshot holds together better, but it doesn't collapse any more or anything.

    Even if none of them would have floppiness issues, the fact still remains
    the waist area of this Brawl is formed by a single hinge joint.

    The thing is 3mm thick at most. That's a sorry ass excuse for a torso.

    The overal botmode and tankmode still look good, but I really can't commend Hasbro on this.

    Here's hoping they redeem themselves with Titan Wars Returns Hardhead, because that one looks really good.

    Wow, that's disappointing. :(  I was hoping to like CW Brawl. Looks like I'll be passing on this wave.

    I..kinda agree with this.

    Also a tank that can´t swivel it´s turret is kinda of a fail.

    I'd already decided to pass on this wave for financial reasons. Brawl is not making me regret that decision.

    Now that's disappointing...out of the individual bots, Brawl is my second favorite with Blast-Off being the first....yeah...

    Still getting this though, I need a Bruticus to go with my Devastator and Menasor.

    I do wonder though, is it possible to rotate the combiner joint out a tid bit and fill the belly void, hopefully giving some extra stability in the process?
