Much like what they did to Revenge of the Fallen Superion, the same has been done to Bruticus Maximus. FansProject has refurnished, revitalized and re-engineered the figure into the combiner it was meant to be. These add-ons come in two different boxes, Crossfire-02A and Crossfire-02B, which contain brand new figures of Blast Off and Swindle respectively. Also in these boxes are augmentations for existing figures, Onslaught, Vortex, and Brawl - all giving them a little extra firepower and aesthetics. For your viewing pleasure, the add-ons have made their way into the renowned toy galleries of Seibertron.com. Check out this third party masterpiece in the links and pictures below!

You can purchase Explorer and Munitioner from several of Seibertron.com's valued sponsors such as tfsource.com, bigbadtoystore.com, and robotkingdom.com.

Gotta say Onslaught is kibble-tastic in robot mode and Vortex looks like one of those Zentradi pods in vehicle mode. But when I get this he'll be staying in combined mode anyway, so whatever.

Superb! Fansproject couldn't have made this any more perfect. Hopefully Hasbro has been taking notes about design from these guys. It's getting closer and I am salivating in anticipation.

This

I'm absoloutely loving for the comparrison. Practically two different combiners even though 3/5 of the bots are the same!

I want these sets so bad. I'll be happy even if all I get is Munitioner/Swindle.

Ah more pictures, and yet it is more of the same. The same awesomeness anyway.

It's been a longer wait than expected (seriously the Robotkingdom advert on the right still says June) but all is well that ends well.
I was just glad to hear there was a good reason for them to postpone the release.

Though I am kinda peeved that I couldn't order the Arial team kit with it.
Uh, actually... Did they stop producing those? I can't find them anywhere except tfsource, and they decided to quadruple the price.

If they aren't making those anymore, I might just cancel these. I did intend to display them together after all.

Fansproject Bruticus... the only reason to buy Hasbro's Bruticus in my opinion.

Shouldn't this be in the 3rd party forum?

I bought RotF Bruticus just for this set and I'm dying with anticipation after seeing these pics. Can't wait. I still see these kits at a Zellars near me, so anyone who'se still on the fence you might wanna try a Zellars near you.

Hell i don't even have a Bruticus set and I'm still getting these 2.. One simple reason..FansProject brings the goods..I plan on doing a wicked repaint of the whole crew once I get them all assembled...

Thank you indeed for getting Cygnee from FansProject and I to talk at BotCon. Hopefully I can do this again for Protector in a few months.

Good grief that's awesome! I absolutely cannot wait to get these.

Thanks for sharing; I can't wait for this set! The more I see, the more I think I'll keep the components in individual bot-modes rather than combined as Bruticus though... Swindle (Munitioner) and Blast-Off (whatever his name is) are that awesome.

Oh, one question:

Can he hold WSTF Shockwave? Those hands give me some hope and I bought the sucker to be held by the guy. If not, maybe I can use some invisible elastics to do the trick...

I kind of just want Blast Off, he looks like a great standalone figure. (And the first spaceship TF in a very long time)
