    Right according to what? Show/Takara or hasbro toy? Messed up faction symbols is more understandable with ruination than with g2 bruticus

    Yep knew Takara would do this one way or another. If I get the chance I may pick this up.

    I think the Combiner sets sold too poorly to do these odd combiners. The G2 sets look like they flopped (all have been discounted and are getting ready for even heavier discounts come Xmas), and Computron doesn't look like he's flying off shelves either. I'm sure it didn't help that no store was willing to actually stock these in B&M, and Hasbro has typically been all about B&M. But that's just my :2c: .

    The deluxe Groove release (by Hasbro) was a joke, and the plans for Blast Off are still in the air? This is clearly a case of "too much on your plate", so there's zero chance Hasbro will do Ruination. Not unless Lio Kaiser breaks sales records -but then we're looking at another expensive exclusive and you might as well pay a bit more to get the Takara one now. :rolleyes2  (i.e. Hasbro's MP BB killing the price).

    I really hope we get this over here in the US, preferably individually if possible! :O I like the whole team, but I've always had a personal attachment to the original Movor toy. He was sadly lost to the sands of time, but this would be an epic replacement! :D

    Well, if TT is doing it, it'll almost be guaranteed to have Combatron symbols.

    So this thread is about toys? I have no idea what a Bal-di-gious Ruiniation is.

    Baldigus is about a guy named Gus who went bald, and it wrought ruination apon his life. His modelling career was done, and he lacked any other skills, so he couldn't support his wife and kids and they left him for a guy with hair.

    Yes. All Combiner limbs can double as arms or legs.

    Wether or not this gets a Hasbro release, I'll just be glad to have a Ruination to add to my collection.

    So is this what was being teased at the end of the Megatronia Legends comic? Because Baldigus has nothing to do with Unicron. Unicron wasn't even in Car Robots.

    Okay, but those references are for Ruination, which is from RID, not Baldigus from Car Robots, which is part of the same Japanese G1 cartoon continuity that the Legends comics are from.
