I sorta agree. Value wise the jb version kicks @ss. For less than the price of the 3 bots ud have to buy, you could get the whole set incl shipping.

The jb set is pretty awesome and one ofy favs. However, I do find the plastic a bit glossy/waxy compared to the original which is more matte. I kind of like the finish on the original better, but it is a bit prone to stress marks.

Both are good sets and I don't regret either purchase..

 

Warby Bruticus is awesome.. i still love him.. but.. get the KO.. it's not worth it to get the name brand now.

 

I got the original, not for the brand, but for the scale. #15InchForever

 

yeah, i have the original.. I wish i would have waited.. i'd of gotten the KO.. not the Oversized one, or the weird colored one, but the one that looks exactly like the Warby one, scale and all..

 

I couldn't find that.

 

That's the Wukong one.

 

yeah! that's the one.

it's way cheaper on Sirtoys.

i keep looking at it.. but with the new Bruticus on the way from Unique Toys, i think i'll be happy with just the one  

 

so i won this set for $200 and realize that now i have 4 Bruticus, FP, Warbo, FoC(MT), and CW(DW)

 

That's the simplified one. This is the wukong.. it's basically a warbo replica
WuKong WK09-Onslaught

Still..go with jinbao. I've had both, and sold warbo a while back.

 

Finally able to transform and take the following pictures. I call these guys the first set of Decepticon triplets! Why? Aside from Devastator being introduced in the last episode of season 1, these guys basically dominated the combiner episodes of season 2. And all three have earth vehicle modes, unlike the latter three that are all creatures. I'm also amused that each of these guys is the first combiner attempt by the three different iterations of what is basically the same company: Warbotron/Generation Toy/TransForm Mission.

I tried to capture Bruticus in a brutish-looking stance. He is the best combiner of the three, though the Combaticons are the weakest, especially Onslaught. Alt modes are okay.

 

how do you make him stand as tall as the bruticus? and what have u done with those side bits on the legs? they annoy me as his legs are too fat.

 

That's probably the oversized KO of Feral rex, and their arms fold and peg in around the back in leg mode.

 

Some recent pics of them in the mix.

 

These guys ended up being my first foray into 3p and while later offerings have refined their craft with people going to GT/TFM, I am still fond of these guys. Their Swindle is probably my single favorite individual figure of the bunch. (Dat smirk.)

 

I've got both the complete Warbotron set and the Jinbao set. I personally like the Warbotron set a bit better. They feel a little more sturdy, whereas the Jinbao has a cheaper, lighter feel to them despite being bigger. I also like the light piping in the Warbotron Combaticon's eyes, the Jinbao set doesn't seem to have much, if any, of that. If you like light piping like I do, that's a plus for the Warbotron set. However, they're both nice sets.

 

Is Bruticus meant to be the same size as Devy?

 

I don’t know if “meant” is the right word for it.

But usually, when Combiners fought in season 2, they appeared evenly matched, size-wise.

That pattern has led many fans (including myself) to want all their Combiners to be the same size (which can make things messy when looking at alt modes or the Sunbow chart).

It depends much on personal preferences too, I mean, in real life, military vehicles are bigger than normal cars (and specially an space shuttle that is huge) but construction vehicles are bigger too and with Devastator they was 6 components so, you could say they can be same scale been a little permissive with real life scale (space shuttle, hehe). In G1 animation, all they was same size, even the ones made by animals, like Predaking, only Omega Supreme was bigger.

For me, I like Devastator and Bruticus same size, Menasor just a little small (just a hair) and the rest smaller than Menasor (not much) and for Autobots, Superion as the taller one and Computron and Defensor as Menasor size, just my personal preference.

 

Because the shoulder width was narrow, petit remodeling.
