Only because they skipped g2 defensor and o/p maximus (or whatever)
Even so, lots of new stuff with Bruticus involved today
Well, it would make sense to make them at the same time as, funpub and TT are both waiting to use the molds.
I dont think Takara has to wait, they simply have their own schedule.

After Galvatronus. And technically, we dont know if that is galvatronus yet. For all we know it could be a repaint as a crown wearing starscream. Especially since they have ye to confirm if they will ever release the other generations crowned starscream.

Fine, do we know whether 'the combiner utilizing the mold formerly used by hasbro for glavatronus' will be released before or after bruticus?
It just seemed easier to say galvatronus...

Sadly though, Bruticcus would be the only G2 with the wrong limbs being released. Sups and Menasor both include the right set of limbs that was at first not available at retail, making them perfect homages to their G2 combiner selves. This one though uses the jet mold for Blastoff rather than a space shuttle.
I am also curious to see the deco on the shockwave they include.

Haha, I had answered you before moving on to the next point. And I wasnt trying to be a ballbuster, I just find it cool that while it is perfectly fine for us to reffer to that as galvatronus, we still technically know nothing of what it looks like. While I probably wont get it, I am super curious.

Yeah, that's why I like it![]()
I would like TT's blast-off, but as a separate figure - I don't want a shuttle on my combat vehicle combiner

and two jets, which ought to be the Airraid and Skydive molds as Hellbat and Guyhawk.
I hope that they don't bother, as it sounds like they're just milking what they've got.

And the fact that Jallguar from Swindle, one of the most OBVIOUS redeco/remold ideas for a CW Liokaiser, is not being done just reeks of pure logic and common sense. Truly, such an idea is worth doing.

I can see why they made some decisions that they did. First of all Jallguar was never a limb in Liokaiser so it was a catch 22 for his portion. People would complain either way so they went with the actual limbs. As far as the torso goes I can see them not wanting to use the silverbolt torso again since they've used it 3 times already. Instead they use a mold that's only been used once and can at least homage another character that has ties to the combiner in some way. This was a risk for them to take in the first place and I'm sure some people are happy they did. Right now I'm not totally sure and am reserving any real thoughts until a picture comes out. The way I see it is if they're going to be doing box sets now then let them go crazy with them. Since they're repaints they're not costing Hasbro much to make them so they're not taking budget away from anywhere else and since they're not main line releases they're not interfering with other characters coming out. Obviously not everyone is going to be happy with it but I appreciate the nod ( however slight) to the collectors because they're pretty much the only ones who Will know who this team is.
Just my two cents on the matter.

It makes sense in my head,
If they did Jaruga and Leozack as limbs, Sold it as a set of 7, with Deathsaurus as the torso, hell they could even do Deathcobra (was that his name in the show?) helicopter limb to round out the set as 8. It represents their interaction with Deathsaurus as the breast force. Give them all arms micron weapons too while we're at it. There's plenty of existing mold potential for that set.
Also, this is floating around twitter today:

That mouth just annoys the crap outta me like hes saying "I blow". I need me a shuttle. I think the idea of a military shuttle that launches spy satellites is cool and unique. Its ironic that nobody complains about a passenger concorde being teamed up with 4 fighter jets but they all hate the shuttle.
