Swindle is up!

 

Cannot wait to see him, so far vortex is my favourite combiner component ever, but based on those renders and videos I could see brawl taking the top spot. Plus the fact an entire 3P combiner could release in less than a year is brilliant

 

How long do they usually take? I’ve never thought of it.

 

Typically about a year

 

Right. So I guess this will have a pretty great release schedule.

 

Will he be reflective paint/plastic like Onslaught, or matte plastic?

 

Onslaught uses the same plastic and has the same surface treatment as the others far as I can tell so I'm not sure what you mean. Brawl is no different.

 

That's usually the only two I want out of any Bruticus team. Those are the only ones I bought from UT's line and I have Fraudo on the way. I'll probably grab Incursus as well, unless his final price is more than I want to spend.

 

Ok, I’ve been going everywhere on this thread and I must be missing it...how tall will the finished MMC Bruticus be??? Compared to, let’s say, Zeta Superion?

 

in Paik4Life video, the blue Onslaught looks very reflective / shinny, which i like very much actually, as it makes him look more pristine. Actually, he seems in the video as he is more painted then the rest, or reflective, but I wasnt sure if this was the case for the first 2 members, as i dont have either of them.

 

I almost can't wait for my Merak to show up at TFSource to ship Fraudo. I think I'll just go ahead at this point. Swindle looks great.

 

45cm so basically the same height as CW Devastator, Oversized Warbotron Bruticus, Oversized GT Devastator, CW Predaking, UT's Bruticus. Basically right around the 17.7-18" height. Zeta is a touch bigger at 20", so your mileage may vary if you're trying to display this with the larger combiners. The additional toy accurate foot extenders will add a bit more height but probably no more than .5-.75", although the exact height has not been revealed yet with them attached.

I noticed that too, even the green had a nice sheen to it.

 

Thanks!!  

 

I just opened up Fraudo. I haven’t had a chance to transform him yet but man, the colors are spot on. The mustard yellow in particular looks much better in person than in pictures and the purple contrasts beautifully.

The head sculpt on the smirking face is excellent as well.

 

Got my Fraudo from Toydojo today. Haven't gotten around to transforming him, but here's some alt mode pics!


Heh, do I have enough Swindles there? (And this after leaving out IF Swindle!)






Truthfully, while MMC has the more accurate colors, I think UT's jeep mode is cleaner. Like Fraudo is obviously a Transformer, but as I've said before Ghaz'ranka could pass for a non-transforming toy jeep. Definitely a better looking front end, with a more solid front bumper and better grill. Plus, it looks like you could actually fit seat a small figure in it, compared to Fraudo's seats, which look a little out of proportion. As I said in a previous post, I do think Fraudo has a better pintle mount though. Particularly since it can actually clear the windshield without having to be angled up. Its like hope you don't need to shoot something directly in front of you, Ghaz'ranka! (Or you know your trig!)

I do like Fraudo's size since he scales slightly better with MP cars, though he is still slightly oversized compared to them:

 

Got my Fraudo and Impetus today.. had time to transform Fraudo and I love him, everything is spot on. Wouldnt have made it without the YouTube vids tho!

Really thankful the head swap is easy (last I did was TE 01's and I still shudder from that thought!). Love the smirk.

Ta

 

Fraudo scales very well. Can't wait for Brawl. Don't tease us too long.

 

Just got my Fraudo this morning, (thanks ToyDojo!) and I'm liking him a lot so far! Kinda sad he doesn't have an crunch like Impetus but ah well super minor nitpick. I seriously can't wait for the other three because these two are so much fun so far!

 

Yeah. He looks to be the only one without one. And since he has the literal rod going through him I’d have thought it be possible. I guess I’ll see in hand if or if not it’d be possible with that design.
