'Cos there just haven't been enough reissues of that.

Can't have enough of a recognized winner. Can't say the same for the Energon version IMHO and based on some of the posts on this thread.

I don't know if any one agrees with me but I think he really looks goofy! I 'll pass!

Dude, it was barely adequate when it was used in RID. It simply doesn't stand up as a good toy by modern standards. Let it go.

I don't like it.

I bought Classics Devastator not knowing it was a repaint. (I was not familiar with Energon toys back then.) I'm not gonna do the same mistake again.

Here's a problem.

Everyone is bound and determined to display only the combined mode (which on Bruticus is actually really good. He does in fact have two open hands...). The truth is that each of the individual figures in the set are really, really good.

I have to agree with that. The tank's have very good robot modes. And the helicopters actually look excellent in both modes.

Barricade/Onslaught by himself is a worthy enough purchase.

The combining gimmick is juts a plus, that really does not take away from the individual robot modes in any way.

Worthy purchases on their own, more so with the ability to combine.

Nice. I can buy this one and not have to open my Energon ones that are still sealed in package. The amount of times I've almost opened them is killer. Now I won't have to. Thanks Hasbro.
