Take that, Fall of Cybertron Bruticus.

 

Pretty sure this guy is in DJD

 

Just ordered blast off from TCP, since they have it in stock. One figure left!

 

TCP preorder is finally processing!

 

@Chosen Prime posted they have Volatus stocked.

 

I'm not talking about length of forearm, it's the width. Blast Off is significantly thicker.

The upper arms are fine, it's clearly the rotar section that's making Vortex look thicker there but that doesn't look off to me. Unlike the forearm width.

Like @deathsheadII said, he looks like he's definately right handed and single and a free subscription to pornhub.

Maybe he's Italian. Who knows.

 

W00t! I’m eagerly waiting on ToyDojo now!

 

To all those companioning about the width of arms, legs or whatever else... this is a combiner based on a G1 toy / cartoon. Nothing will ever perfectly match, especially in an all in one combiner. To me this one is fine and the forearms are pretty much the same expect Blast offs wings fold down to make it see a bit bigger.

I look forward to seeing you all never buying a Defensor, as god help whatever compromises they have to come up with for Groove... The worlds largest police bike - as not even FT can get that to mass shift enough! And there is no way both legs will be identical in width then.

 

More than the forearms, I was perplexed about how bigger Brawn looked in leg mode compared to Swindle. I'm still not sure if it was partly due to perspective tricks, though.

Defensor is easy...at least for people like me who don't care about alt mode scaling. Just make Groove big enough to look right in bot and leg mode.

 

That challenge is more suitable for the UT's wizards... Unfortunately it's not possible to achieve that, even for them...  

 

As long as Groove is a similar size to Streetwise then it's all good. Couldn't give a toss if the bike is oversized. Doesn't hurt the Junkions, won't hurt Groove. That and vehicle scale consistency is a fools game in the world of transforming robots. Even this all in one combiner is vastly out of scale with each other in that respect.

But if he's noticeably thinner. Then we got a problem champ. Not too keen on a peg legged/pirate looking Defensor personally.

 

I mean, I mentioned that too. Volatus/Blast-Off has the wings strapped to the sides of the forearm that increase its mass just a bit. It's not super significant.

with UT Archimonde.




DaimChoc Reports - ダイムチョック・リポーツ

 

Just wanted to show off nbk on bruticus. Now it aint perfect. Far from it. It only fits half of the peg in, and is a bit crooked. I just thought it'd be fun to show off

 

great photos DaimChoc, the cat is looking VERY well behaved and sedate LOL  

 

For info, it's possible to tighten up the shoulder ratchets in combine mode, but beware this pin, as it's best to remove it. I didn't find that out straight away and it caused a stress. Still functional though.

 

My Blast-Off will be here Saturday...possibly even tomorrow. Very much looking forward to it...and standing Bruticus with some kind of humorous peg leg. I wonder if a box of tampons is about the right height?

 

seeing all the alt modes together like that...its a little bit jarring that they've done a good job at reducing the visiblity or hinges etc. in alt mode on blastoff and somewhat so on vortex...but fraudo sports some very visible and large hinges and onslaught's big assed green joint is just sitting there on the sdie of the alt mode. i mean i guess its green there on teh character model for sunbow...but its not in most other screenshots etc. oh well. also note how clean UT brawl is in comparison to fraudo. fraudo definitely seems to have teh weakest alt mode of the bunch.

 

(from MMC's Instagram earlier today)

My Volatus should also arrive on Saturday. YAY! Cannot wait! And Probus looks so friggin' good I can't stand it! Bring him on!
