Can someone show me the other 4 that go with Mega-Octane?

Are there any other repaints of the G1 mold?

You're going hunting for Bruticuses? Megatron will be very happy with that :) There's quite a few versions of the mold, I'll list them all with links to the galleries:

G1 Bruticus (metal chest)
G1 Bruticus (all plastic)
Classic Bruticus (Europe and Australia)
G2 Bruticus (features retool to Onslaught's backpack)

Battle Gaia (very rare Japanese Edition)

Car Robots Baldigus (Weapons combining was made official)
RiD Ruination (Onslaught was retooled again, different colors)
RiD Ruination (Walmart giftset) (Urban camo)
Universe 2003 Ruination (again, Walmart exclusive)

Encore Bruticus (By this time, the mold started degrading, most notably on Onslaught)

Battle Gaia is the only one not on the site, but I have a link for you anyway:

Battle Gaia on Transformer Baka Ichidai

O, here are the names, if you're so inclined:

Bruticus
- Onslaught
- Brawl
- Swindle
- Vortex
- Blast Off

Battle Gaia (Note: Battle Gaia is portrayed as a single entity only, never apart)
- Great Cannon
- Sandstorm
- Leyland
- Target Hawk
- Shuttle Gunner

Ruination/Baldigus
- Mega-Octane/Dolrailer
- Armorhide/Danger (Think "Tanker", only with "d" and "g")
- Rollbar/Grejeber (Think "Green Jeeper")
- Ro-Tor/Hepter
- Movor/Shuttler

Thanks! That is a big help. :grin:

I have G1 and G2 versions, and it was always one of my favorites.

I want to track down the rest that go with my Mega-Octane, but typing RID Bruticus in to google was bringing up all different colors.

I remember seeing some of those Walmart exclusive giftsets, along with RID Scourge, and wish I would have picked those up.

I also read somewhere about the mold degradations, but it is good to know it didn't get bad until Encore.

I already have the Encore version, but I'd still like Battle Gaia, Car Robot Baldigus and Urban Ruination. Especially the last one is a personal fav of mine.

Also keep in mind that one of the variants on G1 Onslaught for the European classics reissues is unique. You have the gold box in english and the gold box in Spanish under the name of Oslat.

I happen to have the Spain release Oslat.

Me too, I think he's awesome!

If I'm honest until I read this thread and googled his image, I never even knew he existed and now I've seen him, I just gotta have him =P~ .

I completely missed RID as I didn't start collecting TF's again til 2003, and it looks like I really missed a lot, Brave Max (best colour scheme for the 'Max' mold ever IMO), Gigastorm (sp?) and now him. What the hell was I doing?

I'm also a huge fan of the WalMart Exclusive Ruination. I have the "standard" Ruination and used to have the other before I sold it, and wish I had done just the opposite.
