My theory is that his thumb is in the middle so it can mimic a right or left hand, kinda like Energon Prime's drone limbs. Though I'm also predicting that every limb on FoC Bruticus is interchangeable.

Supposedly, Bruticus is a Scramble-City-type combiner. The four limb-bots can form any limb -- left/right, leg/arm.

Apparently so.

Look! A hand!


If you can't see it, look on Swindle's back heels.

This one will be on the package.

I wanna hold this one in my hand, get a real close look at it, before I make my decision. I'm just not even 50% sure on this one yet..........

Overall color wise, the bottom goes better with the usual crayola colors Hasbro dishes out and what, thus, fills my collection.

In terms of overall feel, the top is better. The colors work better with one another.

I think the bottom version wouldn't look so bad if that one arm wasn't fire engine red. It stands out like a sore thumb! At least the yellow plays in with the green, but that red is just - ugh! Probably would have looked better being several shades darker, if not an entirely different color.

I hope that my plans to spend extra for United color treatment are still a good idea. I have all of the WFC in United paint jobs and would love to do the same with FOC. I'd hate to see the "toxic rainbow" version come from both companies. Arms Micron, RTS Preceptor, and a few from the Prime lineup prove that they don't always get it right, but when they do, I think it's money well spent.

I don't think that's the case, unless they've changed the mold between taking those two pictures. Go and look at the two pictures in the first post. In the first picture you can see a thumb.

I don't mind the red arm so much. the blue one actually bugs me more, it's to cloae to the primary body's color. won't matter though I'll still pick it up.

do the individual bots have weapons?

Yes.

Yes.

The big gun appears to be a combined weapon, as well.
