You can't get much better than that. Unless you're Superion.

Eh, Golden lion face

Superion's still better.

Yup.

Of the combiners I own, I think the best is Bruticus. He is the best combination of most interesting and balanced in terms of his members and combined mode

However, the Bruticus/Defensor torso is also highly unstable without PE feet, I've found.

What about with CW Computron's feet? UW Ruination is going to be using those.

I've not had this issue. both of mine (and Victorion) are very stable. With the hips, I have been clicking them back one click and then the weight of the arms and legends dude (including Shockwave) brings them to a nice even stance. And they are more stable then my Superion actually (Lost Lightatron is the most stable though)

Haven't tried those. They do keep the Superion torso pretty stable, though.

Victorion is fine with the heels (though the giant sword does creat problems, but Bruticus (Defensor currently has PE feet, so I don't know) can't hold a static pose without falling over. G2 Superion (my only Superion mold that doesn't have bigger feet), on the other hand, has no trouble standing at all.

I've had a lot of crap to do lately. I'll probably post an update in a week or so, as I'm getting a new figure and I've set up a temporary display.

News Credits: 42 · by **Autobot N** » Sun Dec 04, 2016 9:59 pm

A few small updates:
1. I'll try to post the next major update on the 12th or 13th, as I get a new TF in the mail on the 12th. I'll update the main display with new pictures, and I'll give you guys a look at my Christmas setup.

2. I probably won't be posting much over the next couple of days. At 7:00 AM tomorrow, my family and I are heading down to North Carolina to help with Operation Christmas Child box shipping. Since it'll be a work-centric trip (and it's my mom's bday), I probably won't get to buy any new TFs, but I'll let you guys know if anything happens.

3. Thankfully, like my trip to Florida a few months ago, I will not make this journey alone. This time, joining me is the honorable Rook:

A fun figure, with a conveniently compact and portable alt-mode!
Hope you have a nice trip!

Easily the best figure I've bought in the last few years. And that's comparing him to TR Blurr and the entire CW Superion gesalt.

Hope you have a nice trip!

Perfect guy to take you. Amazing, and have a great trip!

This is my finals week (first one is in 10 hours) RIP :lol:

Indeed!...or so I've heard. Unfortunately, I do not own a Rook of my own as of yet, Hound is the closest I have. I'm hoping to find Rook, Alpha Bravo, and Offroad for a good price somewhere, some how...

Bravo and Rook are awesome figures that I would absolutely recommend. As for Offroad, he's kinda meh.

Also, a few more updates:

1. Sadly, no new TFs were bought on the trip, though I expected that from the start.

2. My mom was kind enough to extend my Christmas break, so it starts on the 10th instead of the 15th. As such, I'll try to update my collection pics and Sales Thread (shameless advertising is shameless) by Christmas.

Interesting story with this guy. Originally, I was expecting him to arrive tomorrow. Apparently, he actually arrived a couple of days ago, but my mom mistook him for one of my Christmas presents and only realized it today.

As for Twinferno himself, he's pretty awesome. The gorilla arms aren't as bad as Optibotimus makes them out to be, and the robot feet are awesome.. Beast mode is where he falls short, however, as the hips don't tab together, and the beast tail also won't stay tabbed together.

Overall, I would definitely recommend him.

Also, I'll post my main update on Saturday, as I've still got a few things to do.

Twinferno is definitely one of the better Deluxes in the line. Not sure if he's better than Chromedome or Blurr/Brainstorm, but he's definitely in the top 3 until I get Triggerhappy.

Nope. I got him for $19 on eBay.
