Yeah I'm in the same boat. I love the cartoon but I'd rather have a grey chest plate. I wouldn't even say his cartoon chest was green. I always saw it as blastoff's wings and was more brown. That always confused me as a kid. Why would part of blast off be the chest of bruticus? I'm curious to what Takara does since they lean toward cartoon color schemes.
Still getting hasbro but I'm also gonna get takaras. Not because I think they'll do a new blastoff but because bruticus is my boy.

Even if they make it an exclusive and force us to get the more expensive asian release, like Defensor?
Yes, but it's not as stable. The wings of the chest piece pegs into the arms when they are up like that. This makes his shoulders super stable.BATTLEMASTER IIC wrote:Can Bruticus be transformed without Onslaught's wheels sticking up over his shoulders just like the convention picture above?

Bruticus' chest plate would be green as seen here:
Thought it was generally common knowledge by now, but I guess I'll just update the news post... Thanks for letting me know that this should have been clarified.

Look man, I dunno, that's just what hasbro said at botcon - and based on the consistently poor animation, they may have just been looking at a different screenshot than you did

Exactly, the olive green chest plate for Bruticus translates into a much more toy accurate AND cartoon accurate gun turret for Onslaught's alt mode. If you're like me and get two of each set of combiners to simultaneously display the individual team members and their gestalt form, this is great news, as you can have a more accurate looking Onslaught AND a more (toy) accurate Bruticus if you buy one of each Onslaught variant. I'm sure Takara will invariably give us a cartoon accurate chest plate for Bruticus, probably at the cost of Onslaught's screen accuracy, though.

It looks like those with the lower price have damaged boxes. So, based on what I paid for shipping, which was SAL, this would land him at about $185 shipped to the North America.

But you cant buy those anymore though. And Legends Ultra Magnus had that too. I didnt think about it being damaged boxes though, that makes a lot of sense!
