    I'm down for the spaceship if we get a Ruination down the line,
    I just love his memoriable combined words, "Ruination AWAKENS" much better than "Bruticus...getting angry"

    It's an easy RID homage and a sure way to get people to buy the set again (as is the inevitable G2 Bruticus)

    And yeah, Bruticus was the Hulk of G1 combiners.

    Yeah I think this was just a marketing ploy, and Blast Off is probably already designed at this point.

    I was looking the previous combiners... the Unite Warriors versions were usually revealed about a month or so after the Hasbro Version went up for preorder, and then I think after three months the Unite Warriors version went up for preorder, which was also around when the Hasbro one was releasing.

    Based on that logic, I think we will see photos of him in about a month? Thoughts?

    I'd almost consider skipping Bruticus for Ruination, but I know I'd want both anyway.

    So in a way, I kinda hope it doesn't happen. :lol 

    I certainly hope so. I'm 3/4ths done with the scramble city combiners and I am chomping at the bit to see this part of my collection finished.

    here's to hoping the UW warriors colors all around end up better ~ i'm almost more annoyed by Hasbro's Vortex then BlastShot/SlingOff (who I'd have been 99% ok with if he'd just gotten a new head)

    I think more people would've been okay with the Blast Off wannabe if he had a different head.

    As for Ruination...which version are we talking about?

    The show accurate Japanese one?

    The Hasbro version that nabbed Bruticus' combiner parts?

    The Walmart exclusive Urban Camo?
    [​IMG]

    Or the TFU Walmart exclusive Desert Camo?

    For me...it's a tie between either the cartoon accurate coloring so he can go with Scourge. Or that Urban Camo...I do quite love that unified look it has.

    A urban camo shuttle kind looks a wee bit silly.

    Give me a G1 toon Bruticus and cartoon colored RID Ruination and I'll be happy.

    Tigerprint Movor looks sillier imo:
    [​IMG]

    In all honesty, the regular Movor (Either Hasbro or Takara) is the only real Blast Off repaint that has actual space shuttle colors...or well, as close as it can get.

    I don't dig beast wars but the way I see it is this. I can understand the dislike of Tripredacus being what it is, but Blackarachnia makes me scratch my head. Sure it might not be the best choice but at least she's a spider, right?

    Honestly, it is looking like Hasbro couldn't give a fuck about Beast Wars while Takara at the least is DOING Beast Wars at the moment. There's a Masterpiece Optimus Primal on the way and who knows what else is on the way right? Yeah Beast Wars is getting shafted right now but Takara is trying to do things from it. That's a lot more than I can say about Hasbro and their "effort."

    I think the main issue people are having with BA is the fact that she pretty much has a hole under her neck that can only be plugged with the weapon, and that her neck is too long.

    I've yet to get mine, though the hole in the chest should be a relatively easy fix and the neck does not bother me from the pictures I have seen (on hands might change my opinion but I doubt it), I think it's more so becoming complaints for the sake of complaining....or perhaps TF Fans are being too entitled these days.

    I have the Animated Blackarachnia figure and I really like it myself. It isn't the best but I think it worked out for Animated. I can definitely see where the issues come from though. I may not like Beast Wars at all but I can respect the fact that it saved the franchise from certain doom and the fans of it deserve much better.

    Why do entitled fans whine so much about whether Hasbro or Takara is or isn't doing this or that?

    Go work as a budget planner for Hasbro for a year and you'll see where all that money goes or doesn't go.

    So, no news about Bruticus then? Just more yelling. Sounds about right.

    A fan wanting to give Hasbro or Takara our money for products the fan might like or not wanting to give them money for something the fan might not like entitlement? Heaven forbid the people that are purchasing their product actually dare to have opinions on where their money is going.

    You can actually adjust the neck to make it not as long which was actually presented in pictures some time ago.

    I'll have to try then once I get mine, but like I said, the long neck doesn't bother me so much.

    Why do fans whine so much when other fans make complaints?

    Seriously, hopped between here, the Beast Wars Appreciation thread, and the Blackarachnia review, and this thread --the one about Blast Off-- the one doing the most whining...

    Maybe actually talking about Bruticus would silence the detractors of the whiners about the complainers about Hasbro. Maybe making a separate thread devoted to complaining and whining that doesn't suck the oxygen out of a news thread would be a great idea. A lot of users come to the News and Rumors section to get news and rumors, as well as updates to news and rumors, while talking and complaining could take place in the Toys forum. Not the News.
