5x what is it $15 for a Deluxe?

Bruticus was never my favorite combiner, but I was thinking, he's probably one of the best choices to use as a return to combiners. Each of his limbs has a pretty different alt mold. While devastator is one I like, 6 construction vehicles can be ab it boring, especially for kids. They're very much a whole team. Though, 5 pieces of bruticus, well, each one could probably easily sell to a kid on their own.

That depends on how Hasbro/retailers sell these. Last I checked individual Deluxes go for around $13, so 5 separate Combaticons would be around $65 in total. If they go for a giftset the Combaticons would most likely be cheaper (perhaps $50).
Also depends on what store you're going to. Target and Walmart for whatever reasons tends to be less expensive that TRU, Kmart, or any other stores.

What on odd phrase to use in relation to something like this... And completely miss-placed considering this song in particular is the kind of junk the that would suit "kids today" as far as I can tell.

So this Keenan guy, does interesting shit, is typically foul just for the sake of being foul, varies heavily in the types of genres he covers, voice of puscifer, dresses like a f***ing moron and should keep his shirt on for the sake of everyone alive. It seems that in general, even if I like the instrumentals in some of his songs, his singing is exactly what puts me off.

What ever the case. This song in particular sucks. I hate Linkin Park, I hate everything, etc. Yeah I probably mis-named the genre or just generalized, but I can't be expected to keep track of 50 different genres I hate.

Yeah, let's get back on topic. A TF continuity discussion could go on till the end of time.

Wait a minute - so I presume Hasbro won or bought the rights back for the name "Vortex"? Because for the movies he was Blackout and I heard they couldn't use Vortex. Somebody has to know this. Btw - a LC Blackout would be killer - they so need to make him. I'd buy.

Is Vortex unique enough to keep? It's a common word, right? Blackout in the movies was just yet another B name though, as 4 out of the 7 Decepticons had B names.

They used the name "Vortex" for the Universe/ROTF Bruticus Maximus figure. Brawl was the only one who had his name written as "Decepticon Brawl".



Though, it's Takara who has to use the "Decepticon" prefix for Vortex, as evidenced by their DOTM "Decepticon Vortex".

Brawl, Blast Off, Blackout (if they use it), and... Bruticus? And he wouldn't be on the shelf anyway? Which 4 & 7 Decepticons are you talking about?

He meant movie Decepticons. Brawl, Bonecrusher, Barricade, Blackout.

And there were 8 Decepticons. Those four, plus Scorponok, Megatron, Starscream, and Frenzy. Not counting all the AllSpark mutations, that is.
