Screw you Bruticus! Devastator will devastate you! It's a good thing you're so pretty!

That Bruticus is sweeeeeeeeet! I love the whole squat, Ogre-like proportion over a tall, sleak, more human proportion. It definately fits the ?Brute? that is Bruticus.

*blink*

You sure don't mess around, do you? ^_^

Seriously though, that's awesome. I've been planning some MP-ified Combaticons too, and I had some of the same ideas - like a little Shockwave to knock down armies of sentinel drones with. ^_^

Speaking of which... maybe it's time to cast up some sentinels, let Bruticus have his revenge perhaps? ^___~

BTW, hope he's got the three dots on his back...

OH MAN!!! You've outdone yourself. The feet idea is brilliant! I LOVE THIS GUY!

GOOD JOB MAN!

Thanks for all the kind words peeps. My guy is not perfect but I'm really happy with how he turned out. I was thinking of adding the three dots. I really didn't want to, but a friend of mine was very insistant. Megatron removed that deactivation feature, but I can see why it should be added. I cut a space away in Onslaught's back so I could put a cover over the three dot area, but the cover didn't fit so well and I need to modify it more. It's a super simple part to make but I've just been so busy lately.

Amazing. Simply amazing. I have a few questions. How do the connector joints still attatch if you articulated their heads? How stable is he. That's just astounding dude. Bruticus was always my favorite. I love what you've done to him.

The arms connector pegs are unmodified so they still work as usual. Swindle's head is articulated at the base where the old hinge was, the hinge that allowed him to become an arm on the original toy. Brawl's head is cut off below the neck so his head still has the curves necessary for the gestalt connector to hold onto it. I made sure it was pretty tight so it won't pull off when you take him off of Bruticus.

I think we all understand the need for more time. ^_^

He's beautiful though... and the three-dot business is just icing on what is already a very, very awesome piece. You deserve all the kudos. ^_^

I love the articulation!!

Adding actual feet is a vast improvement on the pads.

Great work, Dev!!

Bruticus Kicks Ass :shock:

by **piranacon** » Wed Sep 27, 2006 12:20 pm

teh shockwave gun finish's it off so well, i hope you have an autobot combiner planned

by **TM Mazinkaiser** » Wed Sep 27, 2006 5:22 pm

Too much for my eyes!!!!

This Bruticus is the cooles bruticus ever!!!! :shock:

by **TM 1987olds442** » Wed Sep 27, 2006 5:29 pm

This rock so damn hard...man I hope I can attend the Botcon this weekend so I can see all of these great pieces in person.

by **TM TM2 Dinobot** » Wed Sep 27, 2006 5:37 pm

I know you'll get this a lot this weekend, but if you ever decide to sell him... ME FIRST!

by **Hobbyist Prime** » Wed Sep 27, 2006 6:11 pm

WOW!!!!!!

by **Paul Prime** » Wed Sep 27, 2006 7:32 pm

I wish I could do stuff like this. You are a master.

by **Pun-3X** » Wed Sep 27, 2006 8:28 pm

That's what we wanted to see!

Damn good job. Suddenly gunmode Shockwave makes a whole lot of sense!

Articulation looks great, and I love the feet of all the combiner parts. The redone combaticon limbs--especially Swindle--really shine in this form.

Another awesome combiner refit.

by **TM Devastator** » Wed Sep 27, 2006 9:57 pm

Thanks again peeps! I assure you that these figures don't look as nice in person, nor am I a master, but thanks!

by **Superquad7** » Wed Sep 27, 2006 10:58 pm

Devy, these all rock man! FANTASTIC work! Simply fantastic!

by **magnummer** » Thu Sep 28, 2006 4:27 am

wow!! it's really brilliant.

i hv a question, will swindle and brawl heads' paint be scraped when you connect ouslaught legs on them? which kind of paint did you use?

by **Caliburn** » Thu Sep 28, 2006 7:00 am

Unbelievable, you've outdone yourself Devastator. :shock:

I'd especially like to congatulate you on the shockwave handcannon with electronics,
it's as bloody brilliant as the rest of this project.
