This is really their new default stock photo posing. This is the standard they're setting.
I've stayed away from alcohol my whole life but I think this requires a tall drink...

Notice how Bruticus' head isn't looking at either Vortex or us. It's totally at a "Muuum, I'm supposed to be cool, stop embarrassing me..." angle.

Not to mention that with as well as the other G2 sets have sold, I'll probably be able to pick him up a few months from now, perhaps at a slight discount.

I wish Onslaught had more purple camo apps, though.
On another topic, I got CW deluxe Groove yesterday from Amazon. The package isn't as damaged as I thought it would be based on other things I've read. No worse than what I'd find at a local store.
The figure itself is pretty neat. I'm glad I didn't miss out on this, and I'm looking forward to making him a part of Defensor.

As you can see from a couple shots below, I have quite a bit of my collection kept MISP.

I had been planning to these figures this whole time, but now I'm not sure. I will definitely be opening the UW version... So does it make sense to have both opened??
Keeping my Hasbro Stunticons MISP was an easy choice because I like the UW version so much better.
But in this situation, that's not really the case... I think Hasbro's looks good.
Pretty sure part of this is coming from the fact that I just opened UW Superion yesterday... Getting that taste has me in the mood!

Or maybe it's just a case of they like how the things look in the boxes and like to display them like that.

Heck, maybe in playing around with them you could even find a combination of CW or UW you like better to straight-up UW. Not saying you will, but in-hand is always different to pictures.
Also you should give me that Nemesis Prime

Some people do it for "investment focus" But they are losing big time by not "manhandling" their figs.
