He looks good in robot mode, and the weapons are awesome. My biggest issues are with his vehicle mode. The canopy should be up and over the seat; like many have said, Generations Chromia does this perfectly. As it is, Afterburner's altmode looks goofy. The canopy is covering up the handlebars, which, by the way, shouldn't be there. Nor should spokes on his wheels. He just looks like an ordinary Earth motorcycle with an oddly placed canopy/windscreen. A little let down by that. Hopefully we'll see the other Technobots soon.

Bruticus, maybe? There hasn't been much love for the new Blast Off...

But does that make him worse than Hasbro's reuse of quickslinger for Blastoff? And I felt that Takara's Vortex was much preferred over Hasbro's.

I'm not sure what my opinion on Bruticus versions is, I'd like to see Blast Off in person. But I remember comments about a preference for a fighter plane for Blast Off over a space shuttle. So, I suppose for some people, Hasbro's Bruticus would win over Takara's.

I would agree, but then why was the update kit below praised so highly when it did something similar?

Honestly, I'm not sure that's related. The update was praised for Onslaught mostly. The parts had to be that color scheme due to how that particular Bruticus transformed.

But in the end arent both cases of adding on feet that are colour coordinated with the legs? The way Bruticus transforms in the show is that Swindle and Brawl become legs and feet, like FOC Bruticus. Since the CW toy could not replicate that transformation, they tab on feet that are colour coded to mimick that idea that both are part of their coresponding legs/robots. Its a fake part add on similar to the chest of UW bruticus which imitates being a part from Blastoff.

Even if you don't get the 3p add on kit, the feet are color coded already, there is no tabbing on of fake feet; TT didn't have to be that show accurate

I can say the exact same for the show model of G1 Bruticus, I dont see how one is different than the other.

Bruticus barring delays is on June/July so given how Superion and Menasor was released (the latter on August 2015).
Computicon more or less so be........ware of the path to the "darkside" DMP

I will jump as soon as technobots become available. Defensor was a rush and Computron just can't get to me quick enough!Hellscream9999 wrote:Sabrblade wrote:So, would this be considered The Hunt for Tech October?D-Maximus_Primal wrote:Hellscream9999 wrote:D-Maximus_Primal wrote:fenrir72 wrote:D-Maximus_Primal wrote:I want me some Technobots now

Naw, not October. If it takes until October for me to own them I may go insane, like Galvatron towards the end of the Target: 2006 insane. Defensor is my favorite, but I just so want my technobots!!!

I can say the exact same for the show model of G1 Bruticus, I dont see how one is different than the other.
Because one was intentional and well done, the other is a 30 year old lazily/hastily drawn piece of crap drawn that way for efficiencies sake, not exactly something anyone should be setting much store by for inspiration. Note that the game didn't include parts, everything was stored within his body - and must be colored as such - whereas the show didn't

If I could buy you a beer I would but I can't so you'll have to settle for a virtual beer and a thumbs up, once again your thoughts have synced up to mine
