Do we have official ETA for when this CW wave with Bruticus combiners will arrive Stateside? Think we'll see it in November?

It might possibly be in stock at web retailers in novermber, yes. Bu actually in stores, it is far more likely to either be right around christmas or indeed january as was said (in canada, we only got the superion line in 2015)

So does Onslaught have purple lightbars on the rear of his vehicle mode? (look at his knees)

What if TFCC did their own Technobots? Would there be rejoicing or anger like way back with the Games of Deception set?

There's always anger on this site when it comes to TCC toys.

There would probably be a lot of disgruntled fans since it would not be a retail release and would cost more than double (since you have to buy a club membership to get the subscription).

Whoever named the combaticons mixed up the names. Bruticus should be the individual robot's name and Onslaught should be the combined robot's name. I'd be more scared of a combined robot named Onslaught then Bruticus.

I wonder how much of Onslaught's Green will change to silver with that running change they mentioned at Botcon?

Looks like they did a good job of retooling Hot Spot. Looking forward to these.... Sadly, 'Scattershot' didn't fare so well...

I must be the only person who is sick of freaking the Combaticons any version of them: G1, G2, Rid 2k, Universe, FoC and now CW. I wanted to see the Predacons, Seacons, Terrorcons, Pretender Monsters/Dinoforce, The Wreckers, The Trainbots, or any of various combiner teams from Victory finally make their way in Combiner Wars that would have been much cooler than another stupid version of Bruticus/Ruination.

In most media I think Devastator is overused to a sicking degree, but when it comes to toys they got nothing on the damn Combaticons. :-x

Are you speaking strictly of the toys? Or the characters as well?

I gotta disagree with you on this. I think the Combaticons should have gotten the treatment the Constructicons have gotten, in both toys and media. They should be the most used, as they have the most use. Them and the Predacons. I couldn't care any less about Devastator or Menasor, or any of the other teams. Give me some Combaticons and Predacons to go against Protectobots and Aerialbots and I'm happy. No need for any other gestalt teams.

I think the biggest reason the combaticons are so popular toy-wise is because they're an easy sell. They have the most diverse alt mode selection of any classic combiner team, and they look cool. That's probably why they were used in RID over any other team, and thanks to RID, a new generation of fans was introduced to them (me among them).

Funny thing is, with all the Brutici released, I have yet to get one. I have FoC Ruination, but not Bruticus. This will be my first and honestly this is the best version of him period, So I really look forward to it

Really yeah best Bruticus. Onslaught and other individuals not so sure. I don't have any other version of the characters so I couldn't really say on the individuals

You're joking right? In what media's has devastator been used? Tf Devastation, and what else... He hasn't been in any show, nor any previous videogame's; he only showed up for a minute or so in the movies. Nor have the combaticons either, with only a lackluster level in on videogame; not sure what dream world you're living in, but I don't think anyone should be complaining that we're finally getting proper combiners - on a side note, I am so down for the G2 neon-camo ombaticons 8-)

Personally I think the Encore reissue of Bruticus was the best. You could combine the weapons like the RID version and lets not forget thanks to Brawl having that extra peg you had some combination options.

I'm confused, which version of Onslaught is getting released first?
