what toy company made the series galaxy force was it takara, because on my travels around spain i found a bruticus (g1 combiner) mini version with the words galaxy force on the box and on the back some of the figures from cybertron but there was a logo with a elephant which i cant remember the make anyone know?

Galaxy Force is a Takara Line. although Hasbro did throw in some US only exclusives for the Cybertron counterpart Line.

As for a Bruticus? hmm maybe its a European excluscive as is sometimes the case. They'll get differences in packaging.

Or indeed a Knockoff. they are prone to just sticking pics of transformers and titles from series unrelated to whatever the knockoff is of.

That's a KO man, it's so a KO!

Knock Off toy makers take alot of liberties with product names. I have a hand full of KO Armada Primes that all blatently say OPTIMUS PRIME right on them.

That Bruticus sounds like a KO.

Best way to tell if its not a KO:
- Packaging looks professionally designed and printed
- Japanese is the main language printed, with the occasional Western numbers/letters
- The figure looks more very similar to its tv show incarnation
- There are no plastic "scabs" visible on edges of the figure
- It's slightly more expensive than the normal Hasbro version.
