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.

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.
