Fellow Seibertronians, the eagerly anticipated Combiner Wars Sky Lynx finally has a listing for his wave. Found on DorkSideToys, the listing includes the date that pre-orders begin, but it also includes his wave-mate, which is none other than what appears to be an unaltered Onslaught.

Sky Lynx is expected to be available in February, the listing may be viewed by clicking the picture:
Transformers News: Listing for Combiner Wars Sky Lynx pre-order

Onslaught was reported to a 'running change' that included a more show accurate olive green chest plate for Bruticus - as seen in our galleries from Botcon '15 - instead of the wave 1 toy accurate grey colored chest plate. However, the images for the wave seem to contradict this;

Bruticus' chest plate would be green as seen here:

Thought it was generally common knowledge by now, but I guess I'll just update the news post... Thanks for letting me know that this should have been clarified.

Maybe they just used their on-hand pics, since the color changes to Bruticus's armor aren't readily apparent on Onslaught in the package?

Can Bruticus be transformed without Onslaught's wheels sticking up over his shoulders just like the convention picture above?

Yeah I'm in the same boat. I love the cartoon but I'd rather have a grey chest plate. I wouldn't even say his cartoon chest was green. I always saw it as blastoff's wings and was more brown. That always confused me as a kid. Why would part of blast off be the chest of bruticus? I'm curious to what Takara does since they lean toward cartoon color schemes.

Still getting hasbro but I'm also gonna get takaras. Not because I think they'll do a new blastoff but because bruticus is my boy.

Even if they make it an exclusive and force us to get the more expensive asian release, like Defensor?

I'm not someone who buys Takara or 3rd party stuff so I don't spend a heck of a lot on toys. I'm totally fine with what hasbro makes. I dont need a groove that's a foot or a scrapper or long haul with elbows or even a more accurate color scheme for the most part. They're toys. Chunks of plastic. Once in a while I'll splurge and get a Takara exclusive like the legends nightbird slipstream and blackarachnia but it's in a while when I feel like treating myself.

Yes, but it's not as stable. The wings of the chest piece pegs into the arms when they are up like that. This makes his shoulders super stable.

Plenty of options though. You could leave them pegged in and just fold the forearms back and down a bit. They will stick out just a little. Or you could just mistransform him and have them rotated like Defensor. You get a little more shoulder movement action this way.

Check how the Perfect Effect team has him posed.

Good to know. I'll probably transform him like Hotspot/Defensor then. Thanks!

I am totally looking forward to getting Skylynx. Scattershot is a pass for me. If only more work went into that figure to differentiate it from Superion!

Look man, I dunno, that's just what hasbro said at botcon - and based on the consistently poor animation, they may have just been looking at a different screenshot than you did :-P

thats not likely, go google G1 Bruticus and i guarantee most if not all screen shots are the same like this one
anyway someone somewhere is either ignorant or just cant report the right info

The impression I got from what Hasbro said at BotCon was that the green version was supposed to be the first run version and have green plastic to better enhance Onslaught's look, while the gray version was supposed to be the running change that would give Bruticus his proper gray chestplate. It's just that the two ended up being swapped with the gray version coming first instead.

So the green chestplate of the non-gray version might not have been meant to serve any real purpose for Bruticus and instead was for Onslaught's sake.

Exactly, the olive green chest plate for Bruticus translates into a much more toy accurate AND cartoon accurate gun turret for Onslaught's alt mode. If you're like me and get two of each set of combiners to simultaneously display the individual team members and their gestalt form, this is great news, as you can have a more accurate looking Onslaught AND a more (toy) accurate Bruticus if you buy one of each Onslaught variant. I'm sure Takara will invariably give us a cartoon accurate chest plate for Bruticus, probably at the cost of Onslaught's screen accuracy, though.

most people don't buy two of every figure besides when does hasbro do cartoon accuracy thats takara's thing it also doesnt take away the look of onslaughts vehicle or robot having that grey instead of green but it does take away from Bruticus's look having a green chest, either way if im stuck with the green chest some paint will fix it up real nice!
