The Energon Pub

User attackautobots of Allspark.com has found some images of the previously reported Energon Bruticus Maximus/Combaticon repaint set, rumoured to be re-released as part of the Universe/Classics line.

See the images by clicking here.

And for an extensive photo gallery of the original Bruticus Maximus from the Energon series, visit the seibertron.com gallery here.

Definitely picking it up. Though Swindle is not going to be a choper. Swindle needs to be a land based vehicle.

I'm definately picking up a set as well - I never got to complete my original Energon Bruticus because of the rarity of the final limbs (especially in Canada). I absolutely loved the Energon Combaticons figures, and the head sculpt for Bruticus Maximus is one of my all-time favourites - the new colours look sharp as well, a definite buy for me!

So this combined with the already-released E-Constructicon set and the rumoured E-Aerialbot repaint set - I guess that covers all three combiner teams released during Energon. For once I don't mind the repaints, they were all solid toys to begin with.

(Please don't be a Target-exclusive!)

If it is, then one ofus can mail ya one.

I like the colors on it, But I don't get Combaticons. Onslaught is pretty dang good, but otherweise I like the Es closer. I'll await a full picture though, and to see them in person

Lets see the audience reaction shall we?





Seems to be a positive response. 9/10 (only because the limbs don't entirely coordinate.)

Mega-PASS on this.

for once im going to take a stand, no one ABSOULTELY NO ONE SHOULD MAKE SWINDLE A HELICOPTER!!! sorry i may sound like a noob, but in all serious swindle is one of my favourite characters and i will not sit down while this happens, but theres nothing to do so i cant exactly make my stand, someone else do it for me lol

And Blast Off should not be a tank.

no

The name on the packaging is IRRELEVANT!

This would look better if not for the blue helicopter which is out of place with the rest.

oooohhhh, that's nice!

i'll get them, and i'll name them what i want

Q. F. T.

Just because THEY say a copter is Swindle and a tank is Blast-Off, doesn't mean you can't swap the names for your personal reference.

This just became a high priority figure for me to get.

I can live with Swindle as a Heli, and Blast Off as a tank... Swindle was always more about his personality than his alt-mode. I have no problem with a subtle switch of forms. Blast-Off does imply a spacecraft of sorts, but I can see the idea of "blast" tying in to a tank's cannon.

What I don't care for, personally, is their continued usage of transparent plastic for the 'extremities' of the combiner. Why not use gray or silver? Why do we continually need glowing red-orange weapons attached to our military vehicles? Bruticus would look a lot more menacing with black or steel gray hands and feet, than transparent red-orange.

We have more crappy energon combiner repaints and judges give nine crying happy face out of ten because we will never see a true classics combaticon team.

Sweetness! I missed out on the Energon line completely, so this will be a nice find. When can we expect it?

With the torso not being fully transformed in the pic, Bruticus kinda looks like Shockwave on roids.

It's all part of Hasbro's secret plan to create a time paradox in your collection which will then form a black hole that will wipe you and your collection off the planet.

It would be 3 counting the Legends figure.
