I don't normally like to be the Negative Nancy, but here goes:

Everyone's complaining about the colors. Hasbro can paint 'em any color they like, but at least give me a decent mold! The entire FOC line is pretty disappointing in that department, so far. Onslaught is clearly the worst of these, but Swindle doesn't even have a back. haha. They all look and feel like bad KOs, to be honest. Just horrible.

Best moment of the video: reviewer says he likes Brawl overall, but the robot mode is terrible. So what does that leave you? haha

All I can say is that I also have no interest in this piece, much less the series. Series-wise, the changes shown in the demo did not bode so well for me despite it having a great story. And the figure... All I will say is that if I wanted a combiner that was reproduced by Hasbro, I would easily choose Piranacon over this piece. However, I am completely fine with my Predaking. >:oP

However, those who have some level of fandom towards this combiner should overlook the colors. Chances are that the bigger fans will have purchased the SDCC variant and will obtain this one as well. And there is no evidence that Takara Tomy will reproduce the SDCC version at all (even though they are going to be working on the current Generations line).

So all I can say is that if you are collecting the line, and/or a fan of the character... Buy it. He may not be the most ideal version, but he is one that does deserve a chance to be part of a collection. That is, if not have a chance to prove its worth in the long run. Even if I, myself, am not buying it. I already have Predaking, and have a long list of other pieces that I hope to obtain. But in the end, I hope to see him in more than one collection shown by the members here. 8)

The colors are very bright. If they were made with colors close to the Original G1 designs or maybe have the colors "flat" then this will work. I'll still get them. I like the overall look. :CON:

Nice review. Something so simple as making the connector ports black makes this marginally more appealing. but they kept Swindles purple?

Is it just me, or does he think that every mode of each of these figurs "Really really works" and the colors are off, but he "really really likes them!" :lol:

Good review though. I hope that not all of the Brawl figures have those flimsy legs though :-(

Takara Tomy is bringing the first wave (currently sans Shockwave) of the 2012 Generations line. This means that unless they have different plans for this line, much like they had when they invented UNITED, we should be hearing something about this set between the end of 2012 and beginning of 2013. >:oP

I'm so disappointed that he's only being released in stores in those stupid bright colors. Why is the game-accurate one the exclusive???? That makes no sense!!!!!!!!
