    it looks amazing, you really need to finish each Combaticon and it would be perfect!

    Looks awesome !! Great work. This NEEDS to be in the 3rd movie. If you have the time I'd like to see your take on the Stunticons and Menasor.

    I like how you essentially redesigned Blackout and Brawl. I know your Blackout is technically Vortex, but they've got the same alt mode. Either way, I think your robot mode for that helicopter is cooler than Blackout's robot mode. Also, your redesign for Brawl's robot mode is awesome too - it looks a lot like a traditional mech. I also love that you included Swindle. He may technically be a Combaticon, but I personally don't regard him as the violent warrior type. I imagine him constantly pitching sales. Hey! He's Uncle Bobby B. reincarnated.

    Repeater is awesome because he would be the first Bayverse wheelbot WHO CAN STAND ON HIS OWN if he was made into a toy.

    Blast-off is awesome simply because I've wanted to see an A-10 Warthog turn into Bayverse robot.

    Onslaught is, well, not very interesting. I mean, he looks just as cool as the other Bayverse robots in the movies, but he's not very eye-catching. That's not really a critique though; they don't all have to be incredibly different.

    Bruticus's various heads are... typical, but fit perfectly in the Bayverse. So don't worry.

    Overall, I think you're kicking the collective ass of every other entry so far.

    This concept is so well thought out and exicuted I feel it may be pointless for me to enter... :( 

    Seriously, this is some top notch work worthy of passing on to Mr. Bay for TF3

    Interesting. I wonder how long you've been working on this...? It seems like a lot of work considering you've entered it so quickly!

    I'm honestly not sure how I feel about your entry. I like the individual Combaticons quite a lot. They look really spiffy and interesting. But Bruticus... just looks like another big robot.

    It's been mentioned in the thread previously that he looks like a simplistic photo-manipulation. I disagree -- he's definitely complex. But I can't help but wish there was more movement in his parts -- it's all a bit static. Like the tank is still a tank, not an arm.

    The bipedal approach is unfortunate from a pure design standpoint -- he feels like he desperately needs MUCH bigger feet, or a stabilising tail, or extra legs -- I don't feel like there's been much thought about the physics of this combiner in his design. Devastator walks on all fours because he is SO enormous -- I'm just not seeing how those tiny, tiny feet, set back as they are, could POSSIBLY support the weight of Bruticus. Not to mention those ENORMOUS arms connected so tenuously to that tiny torso.

    It really feels like his arms would simply fall off under their own weight. That lack of attention to the physicality of the thing really hurts the design for me.

    All that said -- there's a lot to like here. The individual Combaticons, as I've said, are great, and I do like the way Bruticus' torso looks, alot. I like his face too, it's a nice, simple, movie design. The presentation here is just spectacular, and I have to admit I think you've got a really, really strong chance of winning this one.

    It's a great choice of characters -- a strong core idea... but that physics thing nags at me each time I look at it.

    --Boltax.
    (Good luck. I hope my comments are positive and helpful for you.)

    Thanks for your comments, and yes youre quite right in some points, sure the giant robot could be a lot better and if someone is going to do a movie of this,
    it will need some serious adjustments.

    The arm-tank still a tank?...well it reminds me to the classics, when arm-space shuttle (Blast-Off) was a space shuttle with a fist attached to it, think is not that bad :D 

    Always could be better :thumb
