    Very nice. Maybe I shouldn't have traded my Bruticus after all.

    It says Part 1. Does this mean there are more add-ons in the works?

    haha.. a little bit of super glue.

    you can remove it if you wish.

    It looks a lot bigger in the picture due to the fact that it is much closer to camera. Trust me, it fits right in person.

    Nice job encline. I like it for combined mode. Makes the truck mode look like a space ship, lol. :lol . Will it have any compatibility for the regular robot mode for Onslaught?

    Surprised it took this long for someone to make a chest shield add-on for FP Bruticus. XD That said, this looks OK but I have to agree with others in saying that it looks a bit big and awkward on both the combined figure and on Onslaught (it's not so much a cow-catcher as it is a huge snow-plow/shovel or something on him). Maybe if they downsized the chest shield and made the crotch-plate less, um, diaper-ish looking, I'd consider it.

    I think I like this one. The way it folds up around the truck is cool. Compatibility in all modes is important to me, I hope it becomes a riot shield for Onslaught. It would be cool if it could incorporate the existing crotch plate.

    Price will be a huge factor.

    It's way too big. It's bulging off of his chest. Great idea though, I'll be watching to see how the final product turns out.

    That mold was not made to have a chest shield

    I get the G1 influence, but... Yeah. Does not work on that mold

    Now, the riot shield idea I like, and if part 2 is an Onslaught head, I also like

    The mold may not have been designed for a chest shield but I've seen some Radicons kitbash some very impressive (and proportionate-looking) chest shields for FP Bruticus using the original G1 parts. If that can be accomplished via kitbashing then designing a new shield wing that fits the specific contours of the Onslaught chest ought to look better and not awkward, in theory, anyway.

    So many points in this thread can one say: "That's what she said!"

    And here's three in one post! XD

    Joking aside... I imagine the second part is either a more G1-accurate head that's also larger scaled... or maybe something to convert PCC Heavytread into Brawl more fluidly? (Combiner ports and Cow Catcher projects have been done before on Radicons and via Shapeways...) Know what would be sweet though? A full set of heads for the three mostly-unmodified Energon/RotF bots.

    The crotch armor bit looks a bit oversized though... rather the wings jut farther than I guess they should? Does the chest shield also function as a regular shield for Onslaught to wield?
