Sho is a whole lotta box for such a small fig. I wonder what extras lie in all that space...

Those insecticons will be fantastic in that bot mode packaging... Thanks for the memories Hasbro. No more kiddie shennanegans; from here on out, Fansproject loyalist. All in.

I cannot wait for these guys to ship out soon. I'm also glad with their decision to go back to the Warbot style packaging.

They both look really cool with the new weapons, heads, and slight new molding, but I STILL havnt bought Munitioner of Explorer yet! Im almost praying I can find a ROTF Bruticus for under 50$ at Botcon this year so I can by some more Fansproject greatness. Besides with the new semi-runored Crossfire 3 set possibly being a Devastator upgraded set, I might be looking out for that.

Very much looking forward to theses two along with all the others for the most part.

I would also love for Crossfire03 to be a Devy fixer-upper but I really don't think it will be....unfortunately. I'm going with their own Glacial Bot design as my guess.

I did however pick up the PCC Huffer a while back and got thinking.....that the repaint of him in black with some larger legend sized but transforming and articulated Stunicons would fit right in scale with their existing crossfire sets.

On yeah..MISB goodness..damn that packaging looks so sexy...

There is almost 0 percent chance you find that ROTF Bruticus for $50, but I wish you the best of luck.

Yeah, go with Ruthless Cynic on this one. You will not be getting away with that figure for that much. I just bought one loose for $90.

Also, order Munitioner and Explorer while you have a chance. That's what I did. I got them before I got Bruticus in anticipation of one day owning all the components. Sometimes it's best to prepare for the future like that.

I also did that with City Commander. I owned the City Commander set before I got Classics Ultra magnus and Skywarp from a friend on this site.

I would agree with Robofreak, once FP stuff is gone it is gone and appreciates like crazy. I also purchased the Crossfire 2 before I got the ROTF Bruticus set. I am very glad that I did.

go for a Energon bruticus. I scored 2 off of ebay a while back when exp and muni were released for $100..Or just try and search for the 3 figures you actually need..The auctions are out there..He looks just fine with the energon set, Im thinking about painting the 3 hasblow ones to better match my idea of combaticons..

Sun Apr 10, 2011 2:40 am

Ok, nice colors on these guys. I don't the time to go through all 19 pages - so I just wanna know; can they be used with the Combaticons like their mold-brothers, Munitioner(not-Swindle) and Explorer(not-Blast-Off), to form the NOT-Bruticus gesalt?

Having lots of fun with the galleries for these guys. Wait until you read the bios ... and you'll get to find out whether or not they can combine!

Like everyones else is saying, buy Munitioner and Explorer now even if you have just a small possibility of buying the energon or ROTF Bruticus sets. They are great figures by themselves and will give you enjoyment even without combining them. So whether or not you actually get a Bruticus in the future, it's win-win.

Slight delay in getting these pics posted. It's 82°F on April 10th in Chicago, so I'm having a fun day outside w/ my daughter. I'll work on the pictures once it gets dark and have them posted before midnight tonight, perhaps sooner. Hopefully we won't loose power with the thunderstorms we're getting tonight.

News Credits: 3645 · Sun Apr 10, 2011 6:24 pm

I'm going through all of the photos right now. I deleted all of the duplicate shots (I some times take multiple photos of a shot to make adjustments to the white balance or to correct blurriness) and I'm now cropping all 378 of the photos.

My wife is sick so I'm on daddy duty. My daughter is being fairly cooperative with letting me crop pics and such. Warcry's photos have all been cropped and are being resized and watermarked right now. I'll work on Fireblast's pics after my daughter goes to bed here in the next hour. Should be up by about 3:00am Central.

The pictures tell all! Right behind the main picture there, it looks like Warcry is clearly combined to Bruticus Maximus. No more guessing.

Thank you FP for leaving the combiner ports in. I'm more likely now to buy 2 of each so I can paint purple camo stripes on one set and have G2 Combaticons.

"But Mommy, Hasbro doesn't make any good Micromaster homages anymore!" Enter FansProject.

Seibertron.com updates it's fantastic toy galleries with the world's first high-res look at FansProject's Causality 01-Warcry and 02-Flameblast! Warcry homages Micromaster Growl and is a remold(new head and weapons) of Crossfire-02 Munitioner. On the other hand, Flameblast takes after Micromaster Fireshot, and also uses Crossfire-01 Explorer as a base, with a new dome, double guns and a sword! Both figures do not include any combining accessories, however they are still capable of using the accessories that come with Munitioner/Explorer to combine with Onslaught. Warcry can combine with Onslaught without any third party help, however in order to combine Flameblast with Onslaught, you'll need the attachment used for Vortex.

And speaking of Onslaught and combining, we've got enough photos featuring the various Crossfire/Causality combinations to make Power Core Combiners look like child's play! In Warcry's gallery, you'll find photos of Explorer, Munitioner, Warcry and Flameblast combined with Onslaught to form a unique Bruticus. In Flameblast's gallery, there's photos of Bruticus, with Warcry and Flameblast replacing Explorer and Munitioner.

So, what are you waiting for? You'll find each figure's respective gallery by clicking the links everywhere or pictures below! Warcry and Flameblast are avaliable at site sponsors BigBadToyStore, TF source, Robot Kingdom, and Toyarena. Enjoy, and keep that drool in check!

Crossfire Causality 01 Warcry

Crossfire Causality 02 Flameblast
