    I'm serious,I love this toy,the bright red g2ish colors and he looks downright malevolent fully armed with the spinning rotors attached to his arm,great headsculpt too
    So also saw other combaticons at store (besides blast off) and onslaught and brawl look really good,swindle looks ok
    Shockwave looks good,as do the upcoming Starscream and a few others
    I guess the only real losers in my book for FOC are shortimus prime and spazz
    Of course they are the most common ones

    I do rather like the combination of the mold, and G2 colors.

    You seem to have some very low standards. But hey, if you like it that much, cool.

    He's one of if not my least favorite mold in the line. Skinny limbs, hollow feet with gestalt hands visible inside them, flimsy arm rotor..blech. I prefer the 8 year old Energon Vortex/Blackout/Stormcloud mold vastly.

    The mainline guys are based on energon bruticus maximus.

    I think he's also the best of the five. Solid construction all around.
    Though If I had to pick a color scheme the G2 version so far is my preference do to a cool powder blue, and big emblems on both sides of the copter.

    Love the copter mode though the alien mecha organic flow reminds me of some zoids toys.

    Technically he also gives the combiner the optional flamethrower like in the game just flip out his vehicle mode gun instead of the hand.

    The head is crazy nice g1 throwback to their connector pinheads. I like that the ball joint gives the head room to look up easily.

    I like swindle's big stable feet. Honestly I have not seen any of the combiner fall of cybertron toys at retail. I bought them all online. Hasbrotoyshop still has all of them in stock and they will throw a Optimus Prime in with free shipping if you buy more than $30 of Transformers right now. Use code "TFgift"

    I actually feel the opposite, he's one of my favorites, if not the favorite of the Bruticus figures.

    I'd say Jazz is the worst of the line, because of his hollowness and just failure to capture the in-game look of the character.

    jazz is utter garbage, the plastic is cheap and it looks nothing like the character.

    vortex, not even bothering, not getting burned by these again

    Do I lke the figure? Yes. Did I think it was worth the money? Yeah. Do I think is Super Mega Hype as sh*t? No.

    Glad that someone else likes the figure though.

    Not around here. In my neck of the woods it's Optimus that nobody wants (and who I will personally blame if we never see any Generations past wave 1).

    I like Vortex, though. Second favorite Combaticon after Brawl. The rotor on the arm is what takes him down a notch for me.

    glad to see more and more people are getting the molds in hand and appreciating them. they truly are great figures but a lot of people take one look at the photos and decide they're junk. IMO this is one of the best goddamn combiners Hasbro has given us and i hope more people give them a chance
