Wave 1 has Shockwave, Optimus Prime and Autobot Jazz, expect them summer into fall. Wave 2 exchanges Shockwave for the Combaticons, and Wave 3 will hit spring 2013.

See? Didn't I tell you people it was going to happen?

Proof that I am a prophet.

Crap combiners are still crap regardless of what colour you paint them, even if you're clearly aiming for the collector pocket this time.

Because it's the "properly colored" neon Bruticus, of course.

Energon Bruticus Maximus needs some credit too. It's neon was spread across only 3 molds before now. >:oP

hmm, if I can't find anyone to get me the SDCC version, I was going to settle for the retail one, but that g2 Vortex is mighty appealing. If these are packaged individually I might mix and match a bit.

I find myself liking the G2 Version better than the original retail figs.

Lots of G2 love in the last couple of years. Awesome! If these were better molds, I would love to get multiple versions. But as it is, one version is enough for me. I'll probably try to get the SDCC pack.

So that's 3 uses of the mold announced before any of them get released? Wowsers. I'm all for more Swindles but I don't want 3 Bruticus'. I'm thinking I'll get SDCC, G2 and just the single carded Swindle.

I was thinking of doing that. But G2 Bruticus is 1 boxed set.

Notice how the regular one has the title "FOC Deluxe asrt" or something, while G2 says "G2 bruticus" the item coding is a different style than regular delxues, so it's probably a boxed set.

I completely understand the reasoning behind the joints being the way they are, but I have a feeling that there will be a 3rd party company that is going to create some shoulder/knee pads or something that will make him look way better. :-?

A perfect example of "You can't polish a turd."

You could possibly mold a turd into the shape of Bruticus and spray paint it though... not that I've tried... :lol:

Ah man, I have such a soft spot for RID stuff, I'd so get that if they were doing it!

In fact, if you give G2 Vortex SDCC Vortex's head and rotors, get rid of that camo with some rubbing alcohol or something, you'd get a kinda passable FOC Rotor!

Not at all, actually, they're pretty different. :oops:

Awesome, I'm going for the SDCC first (please Primus).
Still, I can see the appeal of G2 colours, I love the "makin ma eyes bleed" colour schemes. I have all the Euro Exclusives and they lighten up my room when it's dark

Well, I guess I don't really need money.

I have. It can be done.
