Looks like I'm on the hook for another hugely expensive 3rd party project. I may have to get doubles of some of these as I do love areoplanes and those Bot-modes are damn sweet - way better looking than some of the Hercbots and I bought all of those......

Easy pass.
That's a loaded question. Hasbro's designers didn't "attempt" integrated hands/feet for FoC Bruticus, they actually pulled it off. Whether it's for large hands/feet or small ones is up for debate, but they actually did.amcgrath929 wrote:I understand the want for integrated hands and feet but have you seen FoC Bruticus' attempt at that? Asking for that level of engineering isn't asking for much.

And yes, I've not only seen FoC Bruticus, I've had the pictures up and examined them for hours in anticipation for the toy. (maybe it's a bit of an obsession, so what? ) I'd still prefer it over Uranus even if they were the same price. =D

Wow really? To each their own, but I imagine I'll assemble Bruticus once just to say I did, then immediately disassemble and display them as individuals. FOC Bruticus just doesn't do it for me, especially when I've already got the FansProject version on my shelf.
I'd even go as far as to say that FoC G2 Bruticus would have been my holy grail would I had not pre-ordered it already. It'll be the center of my collection, even considering MPs and such.El Duque wrote:Wow really?

Don't forget, technically the retail version of Onslaught is the game-accurate one.amcgrath929 wrote:I haven't decided what I am planning to do with him yet. I am getting the SDCC version because I prefer the correct colors. If I still pick up the retail release, which I most likely will, I'll leave the SDCC version combined and leave the retailed releases separate. Either way, these guys won't be with my classics figures. I have the FP set for that as you said. I think I'm going to start a WFC/FoC shelf.

It's not everything I want in a TF, but it comes close. The official photos don't do it justice, IMO.

You're implying that there is a TF that has everything I'd want. There isn't. FoC Bruticus is as close as it gets.Sodan-1 wrote:So you admit FoC Bruticus isn't everything you want in a Transformer yet you'd consider it a holy grail? Your collecting has some interesting standards.
I'm going out on a limb here and say that Onslaught's weapon can fit back there when it's not combined with the other weps.amcgrath929 wrote:Well lucky for me, I'll be getting both. Maybe, I'll mix and match.. I get what youre selling though. I should have been more descriptive. I'm getting the SDCC one for the G1 colors. The bright finish on the retail version puts me off. I'm also hoping that the giant hole in the back can be covered up. I want to like the toy and I hope I'm pleasantly surprised, but, everything I've seen in person and photos is sub-par.

Just a guess here, but I also guessed that Shockwave's gun could fit over his hand too...

There is no comparison of FOC Bruticus to This. Hasbro's combiners will always be Hasbro combiners. Very limited in range, and articulation. That's why they are 100$ for a set, Vs. 100$ per figure.
FoC Bruticus' limbs look like they have far more of a range of movement than any 3rd party combiner. FoC Bruticus also looks like it has just as much articulation(sans hands) than them, if not more. 3rd party combiners are just too blocky to be that articulated.RodimalToyota wrote:Lets not take up the thread comparing robot Hero's to Masterpiece.

No I'm not. I apologize if it looks that way though.Sodan-1 wrote:orangeitis wrote:FoC Bruticus' limbs look like they have far more of a range of movement than any 3rd party combiner.

Oh, now you're just intentionally trying to start an argument.

Have you played with FoC Bruticus?RodimalToyota wrote:Have you seen or played with a 3P combiner before? if not then there's not really an argument.
Why are those people relevant to this?RodimalToyota wrote: One has to see both sides to understand the light year difference between the two, and why people are spending 500$+ on 3P combiners, and others pondering if it's FOC Bruty is worth 100$
That's your opinion. I respect your right to have it, but I disagree.RodimalToyota wrote:FOC Bruiticus looks like a Someone threw down a bunch of random deluxes and said " eh, make it combine somehow!"
You seem to have a lot of emotion ingrained in your argument. That's fine, but you must know that I'm not your enemy just because I don't prefer these guys.RodimalToyota wrote:Where as Uranus, will no doubt be able to give you the finger, while grabbing his groin while kicking FOC Bruiticus's ass while laughing at his static hand, and still be in a standing pose.
