New Galleries: Generations FOC Bruticus - Retail, G2 and Takara Tomy versions

Thanks for the galleries. It turns out I've been mistransforming the arm mode for Vortex, so now it looks a lot better!

I'm tempted to pick up the Wreckers, but I don't think I like the molds that much.

Although by most standards the Takara set has the best color scheme, and i'd agree with anyone who said that. However, my personal favorite of the Brutici (Brticuses?)Is the horrible, 90's-tastic G2 set

Same here. That set is just crazy. The replica G2 packaging is amazing. I don't think replicating the exact style of old school packaging has been done before (minus some of the reissues but that doesn't really count since this is a new toy but done in 20 year old style packaging complete with new old school artwork). Kudos to Hasbro for going the extra mile for that set. I think that's the kind of thing that I'd love to see Fun Pub do for some future exclusives.

The amount of time and detail spent on the packaging is almost obscene. I dare say they spent at least as much time getting everything for the box art as they did producing the figure. I believe there was a statement at one of the cons where the FOC G2 set was announced, where they said they got one of the original artists who did the g1 and/or g2 box art's to do the gift set's art.

I can confirm that's true, but I don't recall where they officially said it at. I think they said that at SDCC 2012. I thought it was in my interview with them at http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/ ... oin/25465/ but apparently not, so they must have said it in the panel.

Ryan has been working on some more galleries over the last few days, and we can finally add two more to the ever-growing Seibertron database: Generations Deluxe Hoist and Thundercracker! Check out some images below, and click on them for the full galleries - and don't forget to check out the previous Generations Spotlight toys too.


Generations Hoist








Generations Thundercracker

Looks great. But that add on set is really gonna help Hoist

I'm more interested in Hoist than I am Trailbreaker. He just looks awesome.

Welcome to Seibertron.com, ~Oceans Moons~! Hasbro released a Hound figure about 5 years ago.

Anyone disappointed by Trailbreaker? I love the mold design, but the transformation kind of sucks. It's too tight, and doesn't transform all that clean. Not to mention the general small-ness of the truck. It's really too bad Trailbreaker couldn't be released years ago, and slightly larger.

But anyway, it does not transform well for me. The arms don't seem to tuck into the truck too well.

There already is one, in two flavors:

Maybe he wants a Commander-class hound? With the new scale on Megatron and Starscream, everything is just screwed up...

I'm not a big fan of the new scale... It does not merge well with the old toys.

The Seekers do just fine, since the Classics Seekers are so short anyway.
