Now Defensor is getting a brand new figure to increase his accuracy, most likely because there are no bikes to give a new head to for Groove.
At this point, I'd be amazed if Takara DOESN'T make a Space Shuttle Blast Off (versus Hasbro's Purple and Brown Slingshot) figure for Bruticus.

I won't lie, that ~10% could be solved with PE's Return of G1 Swag.

If Takara makes their own Blast Off then I'll pass entirely on Hasbro's Combaticons. Except for Brawl, and Swindle.

As others have pointed out before they could easily retool the Alpha Bravo mold Blast Off. He'd effectively be upside down compared to the original, but it'd still work.
But whatever they plan to do I'm definitely leaning towards Takara Tomy on this one. Proper Blast Off plus proper colors will sell me on it easily. This is Hasbro's second Onslaught in a few years and once again his role as a torso is funny colored. I want a gray head and chest, none of this black and brown stuff. They've done a good job with the first three and Devastator, but Bruticus feels like a step back. Bruticus has a pretty straight forward color pattern, I don't know why Hasbro keeps messing it up at retail.
You watch, super accurate Bruticus at SDCC 2016.

Am I the only one that sees the hypocrisy in Hasbro ditching Groove "because scale", while simultaneously including a baby helicopter for ants?
