In other words, GET YOUR HEAD OUT OF THE 80'S.
This is a new rendition of the Combaticons and Bruticus. They're allowed to be different from their G1 counterparts. If you hate the colors so much, paint 'em youself.
I think they chose those colours for Vortex so that in combined mode, Bruticus's body doesn't blend with Vortex and his cooler colours, making the rest of the limbs seem out of place. Thats my theory anyway.
smart thinking. although, yeah, it does then make Brawl the odd one out. I'd have preferred a blue or purple colour for Vortex myself. Some of the Energon helicopters were quite outlandishly coloured, but I just think that the red and yellow on this particular one, in this particular setting make it look very much like an Autobot. I'd have been quite happy with them having reused Energon Stormcloud's colours in a similar layout, that was badass. Still, like I say, this Vortex does look pretty darn nice.
I'm gonna say here, that this complete combiner does look pretty bad compared to the FP Bruticus, but it's also going to be far easier (hopefully!) and far cheaper to obtain.
