if someone like FP or MT made those two from scratch in the scale i like, id probably be all over it.

I'm more likely to get Hasbro's Superion, and then buy minor upgrades if 3rd Parties tackle improvements.

I'll repeat what I say in every Bruticus thread:

This NEEDS a Ruination repaint. I don't care if they do him in his cartoon colours, his Hasbro toy clours, his Takara toy colours, his Wal-Mart exclusive "urban camo" colours...the world needs a Ruination.

so, has there been any update on when the final 2 are coming?
i'd like to have a fully assembled bruticus on my shelf.

Words cannot do justice to how awesome that looks. Scale be damned, that is so cool it hurts.

If the KO guys shrink this down a bit, theres a lot of money to be made...

looks amazing, but whats up with that forehead fin?

What is that beautiful DOTM Shockwave in the back of the fifth picture? Also, glad I am doing Warbotron, but still, #**** for their horrible business model out of the gate.

Even you admitted the scale was an issue. Why wouldn't you want to see someone do warbotron justice ? In a perfect world KOs wouldn't need to exist. But KOs send a strong message to the designers to get it right the first time including scale, colors, price, etc. That is why I support KOs. They keep both takara and 3rd parties in check.

First of all, I didn't say the scale was an issue, I was saying that i don't care about all the people whining about the scale and honestly think it doesn't matter. It doesn't need "doing justice" because it's absolutely fine as is. You might not like the scale but that doesn't make it bad. It's clearly not trying to be a 100% perfect representation of the G1 Combaticons anyway so the point is moot- if the designs can be different then why not the size?

And secondly... are you f*cking kidding me? You support blatant theft to..."keep Takara and 3rd parties in check"? What even does that mean? Are you saying that if someone makes something that isn't "right" (read: fitting your utterly bizarre, illogical, specific and inconsistent standards) that they deserve to have their work stolen from them and bootlegged, depriving them of any kind of reward for their hard work, which is instead taken by a bunch of petty thieves? Are you honestly that selfish and short-sighted?

I always thought you had a screw loose, X, but now I'm convinced you're both utterly demented and a horrible person. The fact you support a practice that is not only essentially theft but also contributes to the demise of the hobby you claim to love is...sickening.

Obviously we both live in different societies and have different ideals. I might crack a few jokes, but im not gonna stoop to your level of name calling. Im guessing by your love for the unicron trilogy that you havent reached 30 yet. I find it ironic that you bash KOs in the name of integrity, but you stand up for paid mouthpieces who sugarcoat and even lie just to get free toys. Thats such a double standard.

News Credits: 12 · Sat Nov 29, 2014 5:36 pm

Not this sh*t again, X.

Did I even mention the Unicron Trilogy in this thread? What does that have to do with anything? Did the subject of UT ever come up even once?

And for f*ck's sake get off your f*cking hobbyhorse about the reviewers issue. For one thing it has nothing to do with anything, and for another thing you have absolutely no concrete evidence or proof to back up your crazy theories. You've been discredited multiple times and you have no defence other than "it's totally obvious guys!!!" and...something about different societies and ideals (which has nothing to do with anything). In any case, I'm pretty sure that not getting angry at a toy YOU percieve as sub-par is in no way comparable to STEALING other people's hard work, making altered counterfeits of it and depriving the creators of any kind of profit for the work they did. One is potentially shaky marketing (and as said before, you have failed to present evidence that it even goes on beyond "I'm sure of it!") and the other is goddamn theft.

And yeah, I clearly do live in a different society to you, with different ideals- one where stealing other people's work (so, theft) is illegal and detestable.

Well since you want to throw a tantrum, Ill just tell you this...get some mouthwash cause your breath smells like a reviewers ass right now

News Credits: 12 · Sun Nov 30, 2014 3:27 pm

And may I ask, how are you aware what reviewer's asses smell like? Is there something you want to tell us, X?

I forgot how literal you are. I was saying you kiss the reviwers asses.

You youngins got so much to learn. I bet you dont even know the name of the artist who drew the picture on your avatar ? What do you know about H. R. Giger ?

News Credits: 12 · Sun Nov 30, 2014 4:41 pm

...That's SHODAN from System Shock 2, which has nothing to do with H.R. Giger. He did do art for a few games (Darkseed 1 and 2) but he had absolutely no involvement with the System Shock franchise.

Think before you post.

I "think" it looks like a work by Giger. If not, I "think" the artist was inspired by Giger's work.

As you know, I dont play video games. I never even heard of System Shock.

Well there you go then. Perhaps if you spent more time playing video games (especially classics like System Shock 2, AKA one of the best horror games ever made) and less time ranting about how evil reviewers are and how anyone that thinks otherwise is a gullible sycophant then maybe you wouldn't come across as so ignorant and out of touch. Also you wouldn't make a fool of yourself when trying to accuse someone of being an "ignorant youngster".

Anyway, I've argued with you for quite long enough and you've demonstrated yourself to be utterly irrational and quite frankly a bit dim, so I for one am not going to continue derailing a perfectly reasonable thread. I suggest you step away from the computer, drink your Ovaltine and go back to shouting at kids from your window about how they don't know what a good toy is, or whatever it is you do.

News Credits: 293 · Mon Dec 01, 2014 9:23 am

youve argued about toys, reviewers, and now video games and giger art? give it a rest guys. or start a "X vs DM" thread.

and while im not picking sides, saying X is ignorant and out of touch because he doesnt play video games is a bit much. and likewise with constantly bring stuff back to "reviewer conspiracies", X.

I still can't get into that combined mode. Thank god the individual bot modes look so good.

I grew up from video games a long time ago. Seems like such a waste of time to me. They are so boring. Say what you want about me, but please grow up first. I'm not a pawn. I don't trust these clowns who get free toys to make gullible people like you spend money. If you want to keep sucking up to them, go for it. To each their own. But don't preach to me.

It's hard to rationalize with a guy who uses Armada Strascream, Bayverse Thundercracker, and Animated Skywarp as their seekers. You turned the Decepticon's most feared faction into the three stooges. :shock:
