Brawl: Is it me, or does Brawl make a better Megatron than movie Megatron does? For 1 thing he's a tank, which Megatron has been a couple times. And he's got the cannon on his arm, like G1 Megatron. And I seem to remember early on, that a lot of people thought he was Megatron. It was even reported true a couple times.

Wreckage: I think the plugs/handles on his blades should have been on the bottom of his weapons. As in on the opposite side of where the trigger is. B/c IMO, his blades look like guns when folded up and I sometimes have him use them as such. And I think it would have been better if they would have put plugs there instead of on the sides. Besides, the way his shoulders are, he's not really built for horizontal swipes. He'd be better off having his blades possitioned vertically, you know?
And do think Wreckage looks a little...femine? I mean, he's bad ass, but the thin body and long chest make him look a bit like a female Transformer. If they wanted to, they probably could have. You gotta admit he's more femine looking than Override.

BTW, can you recommend Brawl? I already have Wreckage, I like him, but I thinking of getting Brawl too b/c he does remind me of Megatron so.

Brawl is okay, but his transformation is a pain and his body kind of seperates and folds into itself, with the arms coming up on the back and conncceting to the front, which doesn't quite fit to well or stay together.. i'd wait and get the Leader Brawl, he'll have a better transformation and solid body with good articulation..

what i can't wait to see is Leader Class Bonecrusher!!!!

Brawl rules. Seriously. I recommend him.

In alternate mode you can pose to to be taking on at least 4 'bots. I don't know many other TF's that can do that. Transformation is fine, I don't see any problems in it at all. The only problem with the figure is the arms don't stay locked in very well. Think Classics Grimlock's shoulders. And overall, his auotmorph is nifty. I've said it before, I sat there for 10 minutes just switching it back and forth.

I think brawl was pretty disappointing. I'll agree hes got the best automorph I've seen yet. His alt mode is nice, but hes impossible to play with in robot mode.

Some one did suggest clear nail polish on the notch to make it thicker so its more snug in the shoulder piece.

I'm also excited for leader class brawl.

Is leader class bonecrusher really happening? I heard Voyager. Is that happening? I don't want to have to choose between 3 Bonecrushers.

IMHO Brawl is complete crap. His shoulders do not stick into place well.. If they stuck in place like they should I would have a better opinion of this figure.

I passed on Wreckage and I am sorry for it after all the good I have heard about him.

Wreckage is OK, Brawl I'm not big on.

I love them both. My Brawl's arms aren't too bad, but they aren't perfect. I got Brawl as a kind of afterthought, I never wanted him til I got him, but I'm damn glad I did. Wreckage is as great as I thought he'd be... except for the tilt of his head.

My one criticism of Wreckage. He's always looking down. Makes good when you can pose him looking to the side though.

I picked up Brawl among the four deluxes I picked up yesterday. I like the way Brawl looks in bot made and alt mode from the pictures at least. I haven't opened him yet but I am disappointed to hear so many people unhappy with him.

Didnt someone post somthing about all you had to do was to push down on one side to fix that?

Yes Brawl would have been a better design than what they are calling Megatron. Hell anything is better than that crap.
