Maybe this one?


Or, perhaps this is what we will get?


Or both?

As much as I like a good nostalgic G2 color scheme, I'm pretty sure I prefer the normal colors. It's a shame Swindle is yellow and not the good hearty orange from g2... Honestly, if they release both color schemes, I'll probably get the original version for Bruticus, then pick up the yellow redeco of Swindle just so he can chill with my g2 Swindle.

...I kind of like the blue version of Blast Off as well now that I'm looking at it. And the G2 color scheme Bruticus has a very...Beast Wars weapon due to how it's colored. Curses xD You're making the decision more and more difficult the longer I look.

I believe the second one is the one we'll be getting from Hasbro, but if history and WFC has taught me anything, the first one will likely be similar to what Takara releases in the United line.

Yeah, I'm gonna have to agree here.

It's too perfect a setup, to not be that.

Erm... G2 Swindle is red. Not a red that's in the territory of orange in any way either... straight up primary color orange.

And you own G2 Swindle...?

Besides, neither of those Bruticuses have a G2 color scheme. Technically the second, but the colors of the individual Combaticons are all wrong. There's no white too, and Onslaught is actually closer to his G1 color scheme...

Yes, this is one of the the types of things I talk about on internet forums.

The top one must be going for game accuracy. It matches no other possible color combination.

The bottom version has the same color set as Energon Bruticus Maximus. In fact, the limbs are colored almost the exact same color set....

See?

We will get the crap one. Whichever one we don't want, that's what we'll get.

In all fairness, it's a very reddish-orange, but I'd call it more orange than red. And yup, he was one of my favorite toys when I was a kid. I'm just glad I found him so easily when I was digging stuff out of the basement, both guns and all. I still haven't been able to find Movor's guns though..

And, to clarify, I didn't mean that it looks exactly like G2 Bruticus, only that it's very neon, which makes me think of a G2-esque color scheme. Sorry I wasn't clear enough.

All I see is red...

I mean red red.



Please tell me I'm not going crazy.

And what exactly is wrong with that? I own virtually every Swindle and all of the Blights too.

I'm getting one Hasbro Swindle and one Takara Swindle. I don't give a toss about the rest really. I may pick them up at retail but I already have Crossfire Bruticus and I'm getting 2 Devastators (well, Giants) this year so it really will be if I can get them all at one and if I can afford it!
