So i have seen the two Crossfire "Combat Units" Munitioner and Explorer for sale...but none of the other 3...but I have seen pics of the combined Colossus so I know they "exist" somewhere...are they not released yet or did I miss the boat on these?

It's the RotF Combaticons. FP's figures are add-ons to the official set.

You can use either the Transformers Energon figures or the ROTF Bruticus Maximus set. The original Hasbro combiner used 2 tanks (identical mold), 2 helicopters (identical mold) and Onslaught. Munitioner and Explorer takes the place of 1 tank and 1 Helicopter to make a more acurate and awesome Bruticus.

Ugh...that top picture makes me cringe...like WTF were they thinking with those horrid, day-glo hand and foot pieces? Not to mention the head is just...wrong.

I dunno, I think it's passable on it's own as a Neo-G1 Bruticus. But FP really brought it to a whole 'nother levelwith their upgrades. It's really a must-have.

Exactly. It was good enough on it's own just just to stand in the back and be Bruticus. I never thought it was a bad toy, it was just not collector level, you know? But Fansproject turned what was going to be a shelfwarmer into an instant sellout. With the upgrades it is worth whatever you pay for it.
