Im not budging. Size does matter and this guy is way too big. I have FP Bruticus. I have Takara, G2 and Ruination FOC Bruticus all with Boosticus sets. And in late 2015 we will probaly see Hasbrocus. So Im gonna pass on this one. The one I want to see comparison shots for is Ordin. If it's the height of Feral Rex Im in.

And there's always the chance of TFC releasing their own Bruticus at some point, if that's a better fit for you.

A good TFC Bruticus could sway me. But recently playing with Uranus reminded me how floppy he was. Same with Herc. I wish they had the tight leg hip joints that FP Menasor, Maketoys Quantron and Giant have. Even CW Superion/Menasor figures have tighter joints than my two TFC combiners.

Think these toys are all the correct scale. WB Bruticus was made to scale with Masterpiece Transformers toys. These toys were not made to scale with CHUG toys.

The hell? Does Onslaught split in two or something?

Looks like. Tractor trailer style? Might lend credence to Scourge speculation...

The scale pic with Feral Rex seems deceptive. Rex is at his highest setting and Warbo is doing the splits in a big way.

You know, I'm kinda glad that they are bundling all the combiner parts into Onslaught. I have no interest in this Bruticus (size and space reasons), but that Onslaught would do great as a NemmyPrime(after some repainting) that comes with extras

Okay, that I'm going to do. I think I can use the weapons elsewhere. And that Shockwave.... =P~

That Shocky is nice and all... but whats with the orange? Can't help but think one of the other 3P's currently tackling Legends sized figures will do better.

The orange is there so we all re-buy it like lemmings when they put it out in the corrected colors.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but whenever you see a Shockwave with an orange chest, it's more likely than not an homage to his Action Master toy/incarnation.

I've decided to go for this unless TFC previews a Bruticus in the meanwhile.

All that's left to do is sell my Fansproject Combaticons. For anyone that cares, it's the more show accurate Swindle and Blastoff version.

When you get it, post pictures.

I've convinced myself this on my "to buy" list, but there is other stuff I want more, or at least stuff that's been out longer so I want to get it sooner.

Hasbro will do Bruticus, wait for reveals before committing I'll say.

I just got Hasbro Superion, and I will say there is a lot I really like about it.
But it proved the Hasbro stuff won't be replacing any of my 3P combiners.

This is my truth for most Classics figures these days.

Occasional stars shine through from HasTak, like Jetfire and Windblade, but it's an unfortunate reality.

Isnt it ironic that Bruticus is my favorite combiner but I wont be buying this set. I just cant do it. Its big for nothing. Ill just be happy with FP Bruticus and wait for Hasbrocus. Im still debating on Ordin and waiting for Hon-Grr and Combiner comparison shots.
