The Energon Pub

It looks like the latest issue of Gameinformer has completely let the cat out of the bag when it comes to the toy version of Transformers Fall of Cybertron Bruticus! Earlier tonight we got our first glimpse of Onslaught, now we get our first look at the fully combined Bruticus figure. We also get a look at Blastoff in the row of small images across the bottom. Check out the image below courtesy of 4chan.

Update: Keith Prime of TFW2005 has posted additional images of Vortex and Blastoff from the latest issue of Gameinformer.

Um, it doesn't look quite as good as I imagined though it also looks a little mistransformed, especially Blast Off's arm (actually kind of both of them). Still, it's a step in the right direction of combiners I guess, though it does look oddly like a PCC. Looking at the limbs though, it really looks like it Onslaught could have benefitted from being a Voyager so that the upper limbs would look a bit more chunky compared to the legs and arms.

From the tiny picture Blast Off looks pretty cool though.

It seems like another chance for 3rd party add-on.. and $$$.

it looks pretty good, needs a better pose. white back ground was a poor choice to showcase this gestalt. but he looks pretty good.

I have $10 that says a 3rd party Onslaught will be made.

seriously, this looks like a PCC on steroids. Onslaught needed to be voyager sized if not Ultra.

looks pretty bad combined, but ya, I'm sure a 3rd party add-on will make it look sweet. Either way, good on Hasbro for trying, just gotta keep trying to work out the kinks over time.

So all the individual combaticons guns combine to form Bruticus gun? I can see why they would think that would work, but it just looks messed up. I hope the photo was taken from a low low angle too.

I don't mind this at all. I kind of want to see him and Herc square off.

I like the figure but I'm not crazy about the arms. The arms seem too long/big for the body. The main torso/Onslaught piece looks like a great sculpt.

Please, PLEASE be mistransformed.

Nevertheless, will still be getting it. But man, I hope the arms are mistranformed. They looks quite apeish as is.

I'm going to chalk this up to crappy photography and some mistransformation.

by **Sentinel Maximus** » Wed Feb 08, 2012 12:16 am

Looks bad in especially around the arms and where the legs start. :sad:

I agree with those who say Onslaught could have benefitted from in being a voyager class figure.

I know im going to get stuck buying this thing for little man. #-o

OMG, its just another PCC type bot. This thing S C R E A M S...........F A I L !!! Seriously this is a major disappointment all around. Onslaught is way to small, and the arms look like they are PCC limbs plugged into the small ports of Onslaught.

Man this just sucks,lol. I wish It didnt but it does. When is SOMEBODY from Hasbro going to take the initiative and actually design a large G1-esque combiner?? With todays technologhy, they can do FAR BETTER then this!!

Not even close to this:

Hmm. I dunno. WAS impressed. Not so much, now. Of course, I will be fair and say this is Hasbro's photography at work, so I'm not giving my final judgment yet.

Could be super impressive.

Seriously? That's some seriously messed up stock photography right there. You gotta be kidding me! This has to be some kind of joke. I mean, it look ridiculous! Completely over the top and absolutely ridiculous!

I don't quite get the PCC comparison everyone keeps making, I mean, besides the drones, PCC just used the Energon method of combining.

This has 4 transformable limbs, a step up from PCC.

Was not expecting the gestalt reveal until we saw the Blast-Off and Vortex. Hey, Bruticus, DOTM Shockwave wants his MechTech back!!!

Overall, he looks solid! Would have prefered a beefier Onslaught (re: voyager class) to help out the limb connections a bit more, as they look lanky. But they did give him hands and feet, and maybe with the connections for the arms a bit spreadout, it will allow the figure to have better posability.

So, can we expect this in May, like the other FoC figures?

people probably see the relationship because where the separate "bots" connect looks just like the ports on ALL of the PCC combiners is why. Yea we all know they transform separately but what good is that when the combined mode sucks?? his legs and shoulders suck, they are almost identical to PCC limbs etc. Damn I just keep going on the more I see this thing, Grrrrr,lol. Onslaught needed to be at the least Voyager scale. Plus look at the arms! They are to long and just look "messy". Where as the legs actually look somewhat like you would expect them to look, I think.

Added images of Vortex an Blastoff.

It's the overall lanky proportions, aggravated this time by the very prominent arm connectors.
I agree with a number of people her, hope it's a mistransformed robot(that perhaps the arms could be closer to his body).

And please let those cannons attach to his back... all it takes is just a 5mm peg hole really @_@.
