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.
Enjoy the pics after the break. Later!

Man he looks really good and game accurate! Too bad he was such a bitch to acquire because they made this deco an exclusive ;[ Guess I'll have to practice repainting figures right now.. haha

i can't wait to get this thing. LONG LIVE BRUTICUS!!!!

You can get the figures to approximate (and I use the word loosely) the image of in-game Bruticus
In this mode he's officially mistransformed. It's a judgement call on my part to say he's better this way.
Arm articulation is shot to hell in this form.

Yeah, to me it isn't that's its a very good G1 homage but more the fact it's the only version without a crazy bright color scheme + it's somewhat similar to the game colors.
Personally, I like Acid-trip Camo Brute over Brownicus.

If by that you mean "paying homage" to G1 Bruticus, no it's not. Except for Onslaught, it's in game-accurate colors. And ironically, retail Onslaught has both game-accurate AND G1-accurate decos.

Is more or less paying homepage to G1 Bruticus.

It doesn't have a G1 color scheme.
And Vortex NOT being gray. And Blast-Off not being brown. and Swindle not being yellow.
Brawl is really the only one that's close to a G1 deco.

See also: Blast Off and Vortex.
It's only his legs that are accurate to G1.

oops mean somewhat similar 'homage'/ close to G1 color. Plus it's Bruticus!

Except the turd brown Onslaught kinda throws all that off doesn't it?
[Wing_Saber-X]
I guess it's the whole 'G1' color-scheme thing, personally.

I kinda have to agree. While I think the fig is a decent, fun toy to play around with, I really fail to see what in particular about the SDCC version has people practically falling over each other trying to secure one.

Should I really buy this when my first impression is that I gonna have to mod this design.
However how much can one mod onslaught with out completely redoing it.
This really could have been great combiner there are alot of nice elements but wow did they skimp on the combined mode.
Redoing the legs hips and shoulders on bruticus and adding to and modding onslaught to hide brutes head and redo the arms on the vehicle mode.
I think what tfc toys understood and Hasbro should understand is that Combiners Sell.
Why do they feel combiners make no sense or wont sell ? Why because movie devestator sucked so bad. Clearly sucked really bad and completely was considered a voltron instead of team of transformers.
That is exactly like when they redid godzilla and they thought it just wasnt popular anymore because of that movie abomination.
Id rather buy a great deluxe or voyage piece by piece instead of them lowering the quality and price to sell it as a set because they are worried it wont sell all 5.
ughhhhh
