Live from SDCC TFW2005 brings you a high resolution, in hand, gallery of San Diego Comic Con 2012 Exclusive G1 Colors Fall of Cybertron Bruticus!
We didn't get every angle, and it may even be a bit mistransformed at times, but there are some cool shots that give you a better feel for the toy and what to expect.
I'm not big into reviews or getting super technical, as I think pictures speak louder than words. Overall, the figure is a bit lighter than I am used to. The figures move in a bunch of different ways to allow for the various transformations into limbs etc. This gives it a bit of a loose feel, and at times I felt like I was going to break it. However, once this was in hand, and transformed a bit differently than stock photos so far, the largeness of Bruticus really shines and overcomes those issues. Overall I was on the fence pre-buy, grabbed it because I felt like I had to, and now am happy I did. You guys will have to decide for yourselves though.
Here's something that slipped through the cracks. We received a press release a few days ago from Mimoco about their GI Joe Mimobots and Transformers Mimobots! If you wanted GI Joe and Transformers styled USB sticks Mimoco has come to the rescue.

"We've been working with Hasbro on this particular set of 80's re-imagination for some time and we hope others respond to its 'Rad Factor' as much as we do. The power of the 80s just can't be denied... this one amazing era produced so much that still thrives today...and right at the top of the list for us are G.I. JOE and TRANSFORMERS," says Mimoco's Director of Media & Licensing, Scott Seraydarian. "But in spite of all the reboots that have been coming out recently, we felt that the 80's classics still weren't getting the love they so richly deserve. Following Mimoco's core philosophy of "Refresh your Memory", we set out to change that. "Refreshing Your Memory" is the collision of what's known and what's new... something familiar, yet fresh. These traits are embodied perfectly in this series."
