    I have to agree with Toker on the length, everything else seems good, specially the round cannon tip. For the length, something like this would look better:

    I think I'd have like the cannons to be massive, especially in Bruticus mode. I tend to envision the combiner as a sort of walking tank.

    Shorter canons definitely look better to me.

    Agreed. Less is more (more or less).

    The shorter ones look a bit more proportioned. If you're going to make it as tall as the original pictures, I think they look a little thin

    Looking cool. I definitely would pick up a G2-colors set in the future.

    Looking good. The rounded barrels work a lot better. I like the plastic colour used. Also agree that slightly shorter barrels look better, like in toker's pic

    Is there a website we can order these off of? I would love two of the round barrel cannons and one of the square barrel cannons...

    Yeah I have to agree they're too long, they could stand to be half the length they are now.

    I like the look of the long back cannons, they just look more imposing. In the cartoon they were pretty long but the g1 toy made them shorter. For those wanting to order, just send the op a pm.

    No rush, just make them all smooth and perfect. UW Bruticus isn't coming for a long time.

    No disrespect to the CW Bruticus crowd.

    I definitely like the round cannons more than the square. Like some other posters have mentioned, I think they are a bit too tall. I'd think shorter and thicker would look better- but in any case I'm on board with these!

    Hey everyone, Its been a while and I apologize for the silence. I've a been a little busy but have finally got the next orders ready to ship out.
    Really sorry for all the delays.
    Anyway, I will start making molds for the back canons so production on those should start soon.
    Then maybe I can get final designs for the beam rifles for Bruticus too.

    Are the current longer rifles the final design?

    I'm really interested in the back cannons and maybe a pair of those feet.

    Got the water guns. They're nicely made. Now if someone comes up with with parts to fill out the hollow sections of Defensor's torso, he'll be perfect.
