    Unfortunately I think that even with feet extensions, this guy is too small in combined mode to suit my collection. Even with the extra feet, Bruticus' head comes up to Menasor's forehead. If his limbs are in proportion to the rest of him, that means he's going to look pretty skinny when he really should be a beefcake.
    That said, I'm still impressed by the all-in-one transformation and combination. If they do other combiners in the same fashion... well I've already made an investment in three 50cm scale combiners so it would take a lot to replace them... but never say never!

    Well I don’t think this combined figure is made for you then lol. As a guy who is buying XTB Monolith and still doesn’t have the Zeta combiners I’d certainly like it.

    Same exact boat. I am holding out and hoping they release G2 colors. I feel those 2 combiners will scale wonderfully together and I'm curious how well they would scale with CW Devy? If only Hastak would re-release in G2 like they did the others.

    A ratchet is a floating gear with a spring for pressure and a stationary gear. Maybe they could do a mechanism that would increase the teeth size on the stationary gear when needed

    Interesting. That would help for sure. I’m not sure how it’d work though.

    Love the idea. His head and torso are little small but still great to have the option.

    Any chance Legends Shockwave will be compatible with the combiner fist?

    Im digging this. Especially the gun turret/back pack for Onslaught. Near 100% toon perfect. And they are long guns... not short and stubby.

    Bruticus in combined mode needs a bigger gun though. Much bigger.

    Really? The gun's almost twice as tall as Swindle.

    Also, toon-accuracy be damned, the military-themed COMBATICONS shouldn't have a puny little gun in combined mode, that's no bigger than Swindle's own cannon.

    Making the gun extend more wouldn't be a problem imo.

    I have that toy, I'll check it out.

    was def thinking of the toon mode, which is more important to me anyway.

    doesn't need to compensate with the size of his gun

    It just looks like it needs to be up sized just a bit. Looks too small for Bruticus. Love the shape and color though. I’d rather Onslaught look like he is dragging around a cannon. Lol.

    Or go for the method of all 5 bots weapons combining... which I always dig.

    Actually I don’t mind it. Looks kinda cool in a super robot way.
    Oh so rather have a cannon than a rifle? I get that.

    How is the 3P add-on kit climate like these days? If this Bruticus sells well enough, do you guys think there might be an add-on kit for the feet? I am already working on XTB Menasor and the new height I'm introducing to my collection already puts my Warbotron on the chopping block. I'm leaning toward Assaultus over Zeta's as this one looks more fun but I want some continuity in height.

    I mean upgrades still happen. However I’d rather this come with the upgrade rather than me having to buy it seperate.
