In Hand High Res SDCC FoC Bruticus Gallery

Man, Brawl has some world-class visible head.

The G1 colour make this Bruticus look menacing enough.

G1 colors missed Vortex and to a lesser extent, Blast Off. The rest are pretty accurate, though.

hopefully Dudicus looks even better now that we know he will have the cannons on his back

Yum, Blast Off looks like a huge piece of caramel.

I am loving that headsculpt for Blast Off.

No pics of the 5 bots together?

The more I see of this,the more I don't like it.

I don't know if this looks like a $100 toy. This looks like sorts of bad Some of the shots you took look pretty good, but there are so many others that show how bad (cheap?) these guys were designed--there's not much to them.

I wish Hasbro put as much effort into these guys as they did Transformers Prime toys.

I wonder if a 3PC could make shorter connectors? If it were possible to shorten the ones on the arms up, Bruticus would look a lot better in robot mode.

As bad as it is, I still want 2 of them. After waiting in line for hours, I still didn't get one.

The ONE thing I am hoping is that Blast Off can be transformed differently for an arm mode...I don't care if he loses an elbow joint, his forearm is just...no. I think it'd look better if Blast off was just in his shuttle mode, with his arms taken off (however I don't think theyre on ball joints), and have his "flamethrower handless arm". I'm glad the weapons can go on his back, now if the arm can be different, I'm in love with it.

Blast Off and Brawl are definitely switching places for Bruticus. Swindle also will be picked up twice, he is great on his own.

Wow that looks even more stupid than I thought. Like a giant transformer clown.

Onslaught's head can actually tab up further than shown in these pictures. Plus Brawl is HORRIBLY mistransformed

ok, that look so bad. I mea damn hasbro, what with the karate Chop hands and spiny foot?

If I get this guy its to keep MISB. Man what a mess.

FP Bruticus beats the tar out of this one. If FP brut didn't have to stand in a split he would be perfect.

That's it, blast off should be a leg.

Honestly though, I'm liking this guy. He def has his faults, but still, i think he looks pretty cool.

Mot a big fan of the folded in transformation for Blast off
Not digging Brawl at all in tank mode
Vortex has potentional
Swindle-Not sure how I feel about him
Onslaught-I really dont like seeing heads and arms folded back and not conceled in vehicle mode

How are the joints?
Does he assemble and stay together?
Is be posible and will he keep the poses?

I agree

He def looks kinda gangly

Yep, not feelin it at all. Passing on this one. some of the figures are good stand alone Transformers, but together it's just terrible. Ill stay with trying to find a FP version.

Onslaught not being gray is a disappointment. Dark bronze is an acceptable compromise as far as I'm concerned, though.

Anybody know roughly what time the exclusives should be available on Monday on HTS.com (or remember when they have in previous years, this is the first year there's even one that I'm interested in)?

I like it. Five unique individual robots with pretty slick Cybertronian alt modes that combine into a pretty cool giant robot. I'm so glad we have a combiner at last. Personally, Blast Off looks better as a leg, not digging his arm mode. The rest are pretty cool in both modes. Looking forward to grabbing these guys in stores and the Wreckers retools/repaints.

Blast Off looks delicious. Chocolate rockets shall fly through all my dreams tonight. Giggity. So is it confirmed Bruticus and the others will be made available online Monday? Or will they make us wait longer?

..yea... he needs some Shapeways/Radicon/3rd Party help.

Not saying I won't get a version of the figure (got G2 Bruticus preordered) but um... sooo not worth the 200+ BBTS and other joints started putting him up for.

Kind of wish Bruticus was actually transformed as he should be instead of just posed out of the box. But other than that sick gallery, guys. Kudos!

You know, I'm surprised that considering it's HasTak's first proper combiner in years, and that it's based off five totally cheaty designs that totally cheat into a giant cheating combiner, and it's scramble city, and everyone looks decently accurate, that it looks as good as it does.

There is no saving this one. I don't see any sort of transformation that is going to help this guy beyond a full redo. I don't even think add ons could help at all.

Onslaught is awful in every mode but torso. Just look how crap that vehicle mode is. I don't think anything has screwed the pooch on vehicle that hard in a long time...and they had the freedom of a completely made up altmode. Visible Brut head everywhere. The head is marvelous though.

Vortex is great in vehicle mode but has some wonky legs in robot mode and no way to store the blades on his back properly. He makes a decent arm until you see the connector is way to low for an arm.

Brawl has a great vehicle mode, kibble butt robot mode, and an "I don't even" combined mode. He's a mess both ways.

Swindle is great in alt mode, has an okay but simple robot mode (when the chest could have been 100x better) and the most solid leg limb mode. Unfortunetly the legs totally miss the mark in the accuracy department by sticking the connector in the front...He is ok, just off.

Blast off is best pony. His combined mode sucks because of the low elbow and low shoulder connector, but he looks absolutely great in that deco in both robot and vehicle. His robot form just looks flat out good and uncompromising by anything and he seems to have standard articulation with no kibble. Vehicle mode looks a bit simple but it all comes together to work for me. I really wish I could pick up this deco without having to buy the set. Or at least buy the set and sell the rest of the guys off.

The strongest points on all of them are the vehicle modes save Onslaught. Blast Off is the only one that looks great in Robot, the rest are ok except for Onslaught, and combined mode is shit for everyone that isn't Onslaught.

They really missed the mark on this scramble city or not. Brawl and Swindle should have been shoe in easy for accurate legs. Just best a piece out for a toe and have the connector on the rear of the vehicle. The proportions of the combined mode are awful with the location on the joints for any of them, and Onslaught is just piss poor all around.

Sigh. So...anyone looking just to part with that Blast Off there?

... the snack the bites back?

He's/They're not perfect, but I can't really complain about a 5-man, Scramble City, no kibble, no recolors Combiner. A bit odd how all but one of the connection ports are purple.

How big are Bruticus and the Combaticons compared to other WfC/FoC figures?

Uh, no they don't. They're all based off designs in-game and are required to resemble those designs. It's not their fault High Moon had to make them all more cheaty than every movie transformer combined.

I'm kinda glad I didn't pull the trigger on this. I only half like it. Maybe if he didn't cost so much money it'd be more appealing to me. Idk . Thanks for the review though, it shows alot of what I was hoping to see.

so glad i didn't have to wait in line for this and that i'm not getting any version of this ugly pos.

For those curious...this is the proper way to transform Bruticus (specifically Brawl as a leg done right)




apologies, i forgot to put the cannon on the back on Bruticus. In Bruticus' form, it tabs onto his back

I need the heads and combiner joints to finish my custom bruticus.The Torso and legs don't look near as bad as before.The arms are still very off looking.

I'm wondering how much modding it would take to get that right arm looking decent, or if it could even be done while retaining transformation... I don't mind the rest. I even like some of it.

A bit of a size comparison for everyone

Dagum.

May we please see a pic of Bruticus looming over Shockwave?

So glad my dad has an all-access pass and was able to score one for me on Wednesday.

Yup he shall be mine!

Wow, that Bruticus looks terrible. I was going to try to get it in hope a 3rd party can improve on it but after seeing these pics i do not know anymore especially at 100 dollars. They look bad in every mode. I hope that this less plastic, smaller size deluxe figures is a temporary thing.

Onslaught needs more bulk. And they should just bring back the combiner accessory parts. With that said, I'm buying this because...

1) Individual limbs that transform into robots.

2) Better combiner than movie Devastator.

3)If I buy this one, maybe it'll keep them from bringing back the PCCs.

I so want to want this one.
Looks like a robot on stilts, wearing a sweater with comically long sleeves.
kinda need it anyway.

Anychance of seeing the 5 bots in line in robot mode?

I like most of it, but damn, I just can't get past how much of a complete and utter fail Blast-Off is in arm mode. How on Earth did Hasbro's designers/engineers design BO that way and still have thought that was acceptable enough to send into production? "The kids don't care..." excuse I guess?

I don't like how the colors came out. Having Blastoff, Swindle and Vortex taking 3 colors of dog poop doesn't do this figure any good.

The way it is, for me to be satisfied, I have to buy all 3 versions and mix-and-match. How about...

Mass Retail - Onslaught and Swindle
SDCC - Brawl and Blastoff
Amazon/BBTS - Vortex

Great colors scheme in person, by the looks of it. Can't wait to get him!

Wow, Bruticus looks like ass. I do like most of the individual combaticons, though.
Onslaught's vehicle mode is a joke.

I'm getting G2 bruticus, so this one isn't a worry of mine. And honestly, the figure itself looks decent to me. And besides PCC's this will be my first full combiner.

Couldn't have said it better myself. As a combiner and combiner giftset whore, I will have this, but yeah that Onslaught is just awful looking on vehicle mode. It looks pretty obvious that the vehicle mode had the lowest priority to the point of almost being an after thought, while torso mode had the highest priority during the design phase.

The others all look good in all three modes, except for Blastoff's arm mode. If the combiner peg was double/triple jointed to come down further on the under carriage, it would look so much better.

ahahahahahahahah.

Those arms are the fugliest arms ever. This figure isn't worth spit, let alone a bill. I'll stick to my Fansproject add-on. Sad...I don't think I'll buy the repaint now either. I was going to to get it just to futz with, but I reallllyyy don't think so now.

IF this is a prelude to Hasbro's "combiners"...count me out. I'd rather buy the unofficials versions.

Onslaught is supposed to be blue....Damnit hasbro why can't you do anything right?.....
