so good it almost seems like a shame that they'd have to combine with the Energon Combaticons

I returned the Target Bruticus the day after i bought it, since it looked like crap to me. Had i known that these would turn out this awesome, i would've kept it. :-(

Pure win. I'm glad I picked up ROTF Bruticus on clearance & preordered these guys. Recommend you do the same before prices shoot up on Brute.

They are the 2 new limbs for the Energon/ROTF/Universe Combaticons combiner.

Swindle and Blastoff.

You can replace one of the Helicopters, and one of the Tanks for each of these.
Along with some fists, guns, regular looking feet, head etc...

They look very cool.

As much as I like my Energon combiners I'll have to agree with you. They might look a little out of place with the other 3 molds.

But the combined mode just looks so good I'm not sure if I'll ever display the team individually.

Too late.. The price is already shooting through the roof. Not to mention the availability is nonexsistent . Everywhere I look he's sold out. I don't feel too bad though, when I did find Bruticus in target I grabbed but a kid and his mom where also eye ballin it. He told his mom that he wanted to spend his allowance on the " transformers that combine with tanks and stuff"..I couldn't walk off with Brut in my hands after that..

Wow, those are so sweet I'm almost at a loss of words. I'm so glad I preordered these as soon as they were listed.

That's spectacular.

Those look amazing! I can't wait for these. Almost want to buy 2 of each set...

Bravo, I always like to hear of people putting others before themselves.

I remember picking up the whole set of Energon Bruticus combiners way before they put out the ROTF set. Now I always go back and forth on whether or not to pick up the ROTF version. I like the colors much better but paying so much for three molds I already own... :???:

by **balgorra** » Thu Apr 08, 2010 1:53 pm

Hmm does this mean we should start to see our preorders ship soon?

Exactly what I was thinking. :grin:

Oh, wow...

One thing I'm curious about is how Vortex connects with Onslaught now. Looks like there's an add-on piece there. Curious...

Oh...

wow...

I'm speechless...

Yay! I actually like the Energon Bruticus Mold. Doing the legs Peaughs way, he comes out as one of the best of the "recent" combiners. These two (with their array of extra bits) will only make him better, so big win.

Now, seeing as they're willing to create new figures these days, I wonder if they'd tackle Classics Devastator. No hate on Crazy Devy, but you need a G1 Devestator first. Have fun finding him. Catching up with Classics line is hard enough.

I like the launch pad for "Blast Off."

But $100 for both upgrades? Yeesh.

How about the Menasor from the latest issue of IDW TF comics?

That's exactly what I did. I ordered an extra Munitioneer for my Swindle shelf. Not like I could display Bruticus along side the Combaticons according to the G1 cartoon :lol:
