    So you won't get a Bruticus redeco...but you WILL buy two of the exact same releases?

    Umm...okay. Not even going to try to understand that logic.

    G2 Bruticus is just Bruticus in different colors, Liokaiser is all repainted figures with new heads and its a completely different character, g1 and g2 bruticus are the same thing because g2 never had any lore, only g1. Liokaiser has lore (a part of g1)

    Well, Liokaiser isn't doing it for me.

    I may be tempted to get G2 Bruticus if the price drops, though.

    Like most of you guys, some of my figures lack weapons so I found some guns that I had around my room and just armed them up. In which they don't look half bad.

    If you look at the animation model for Bruticus, he has a smaller gun. I looked at all my guns and saw the closest I had was the Chopper gun, so I had to get the one from UW Blades... Maybe a hair small, but pretty damn close, so now my UW Bruticus has a hand gun.

    Why? Did you lose them or something.
    If anything I have too many weapons.


    Huh.

    Matches my mental picture from Bruticus/Technobot/Aerialbot bits almost perfectly.
    but no chest plane-bot, they just repainted the existing chest crest, which is kind of what fans predicted all the way back when the sky lynx torso first images were revealed, people saw that cat-head and chest crest and were all "LioKaiser repaint: Imminent: Chance of wallet emptying: 100% Commencing Omega Wallet Attack"
    I'd like to see him with four pink jets. He could out-fruit Fruiticus.

    Overall I like him. Blue tank/drill looks cool.

    But not as cool as what this fan/custom achieved with the same torso with tank combination....

    After I move, I will display one set as Bruticus and one set as the separate Combaticons. I just don't have the space right now, so I keep them both combined. Same with my duplicate Superions and Defensors.

    That's what I do with my two CW Bruticus sets. Bot mode and gestalt. Because they kick ass.
    I don't care enough about any other team to want them in both modes.

    Also got those machine boy KO's, so there is 3 combaticon teams haunting me now.
    Another reason I like having two sets of CW Bruticus is I can have him in different combinations.
    I have 3 Brawls, usually two are legs of my Galvatronus - if I get a 4th one I can try Bruticus with all tank limbs, which was something I wanted to see ages ago, but nobody posted one.

    Thanks, tried it again with that L example and it pegged in tight. Outwardly my H.S. looked the same, but must have already come in that configuration out of the box, as I never had issue with him standing.
    I tried like 5 different positions with Onslaught (every one he fell over) until finally got that one you suggested. I tried it a while back, but his joint was so tight from being new I didn't notice it was not bending properly and so just assumed it was floppier than other ones.

    Thanks for your persistence.:D

    glad you got it!

    he better share....

    btw in that one machinima scene where menasor has windblade in his hand an maxima starts flying around to blast her heelfire (new fembot name! lol) into menasor's face. windblade asking "what are you doing?" didn't seem to fit....thats more of a sacrificing-for-a-friend moment.......i'm still giving it a chance.......but my expectations are lowered quite a bit..... especially since the combiners are fragile as paper......


    anyways.....if takara does do liokaiser, i expect arms microns and an exclusive pricing.....

    Why, you ask I say why not. Because the weapons that came with these figures they needed something more than just an axe, exhaust pipe, or the HFG. So, that's why I gave these five figures some guns since some didn't have any, sure Brawl had the turret gun, but I'm not going to use that, Wildrider and Dead End had pipes for bludgeoning and both First Aid and Offroad had axes.

    Yeah the axes were pretty shit.
    Although I did make a long spiky thing that brawl uses for decapitated autobot heads to to put the fear of Primus into his enemies.
    You know, like from the middle ages.

    Nice, I don't think the axes are shitty, but maybe First Aid would use it as medical tool. Yeah, surgical axes are a thing now a days.

    Sending the Hardhead adapter out to get printed today... this set of bits will let Hardhead (from Titans Return) serve as an arm for a Combiner Wars gestalt.

    The [ piece will snap on to the hex posts on the sides of his chest, and the 5mm peg on the half ball fits into the hole in the center. That can then be fitted into the Combiner Wars post, or into any 5mm port.

    The other piece, the one shaped a bit like a +, should fit between Hardhead's feet in robot mode and give him a 5mm port to connect a HFG or whatever else you want.

    I'll have pictures soon as I get it back. I also got my hands on a Blurr and a Scourge, so I'm working on them now too.
