In-Hand Images: Takara Tomy Transformers Generations: Fall of Cybertron Combaticons

Damn, Bruticus with 4 Brawl limbs sure is packing heat!

No, no and no again.
I like the colors but the combination form is just retarded. Not to mention that ongslaught is the worst of the individual molds.

I thought I could kitbast it into something decent but at last is to much work and money, so I skipped this set.

Brawls, transform and combine into BRAWLICUS!

Yep! This has been known for some time now, actually. Wave 4 of Generations (Fall of Cybertron) will be Wrecker retool/repaints of the Combaticons, who will combine to form...Ruination! Votex will become Whirl, as you guessed. Swindle will be Roadbuster, Onslaught will be Impactor, Blast Off will be Topspin, and Brawl will be Twintwist.

P.S. Takara: Do a repaint of Vortex in his proper G1 colors and somebody punch that Activision guy in the face.

I second that! I too am waiting to ship my POL with Omega and Bruty

Wait, does the Takara Onslaught have a Matte paint instead of Metallic? That would look really good with the rest of the SDCC components...

Mental note... Buy a Vortex to repaint in actual G1 colors, since Hasbro and Takara have struck out FIVE times in a row. (counting the upcoming Whirl version.)

That said, the rest of the gang look pretty good. Onslaught with the green details looks nice, and the glow effects on the wheels looks best on this set over all the USA versions.

And yeah, seriously. Who makes the decisions in the chain of command to color the majority of the characters like OATMEAL. Stick with the G1 colors. Grahhhhh. Agreed on the punch-in-tha-face.

Now if they do a Generation 1 deco... I'm automatically sold.

Give or take, all of them are a G1 deco except for Vortex. Ive been calling for a grey and blue Vortex for awhile, but these damn video game fanatics seem to like him colored like vomit mixed with period blood.

Oh, but then he wouldnt be video game accurate !!!

Screw the game. judging from the G1 based colors of the rest of the team, I honestly think Activision coloring team was delivered the wrong artwork. Energon Stormcloud maybe ?

NICE JOB! Yeah, wow. That one version up top looks like the Bertie Botts "vomit" color jelly bean. WUGH. Dreadful.
