New Gallery: Combiner Wars Bruticus!

cant wait to see the TT version

I'm gonna give an opinion here: Bruticus is the best regular sized combiner we have gotten from this line overall.

Here me out, this is why:

1) The Firetruck torso is the best since it gives very beefy legs and proper proportions, plus a good broad chest. Superion has skinny thighs that are good with me but are still a wee bit too small but still good proportions overall. truck mold has weird thighs and proportions.

2) Balance of limbs: Superion has a great set of limbs that make his combined mode look amazing and sleek, as he should be. Truck mold has weird shoulders that don't flatter the arms and the legs are just too long. firetruck mold has proper thick and shorter thighs that when the legs are added work out. And the Legs on Bruticus are nick and thick, and while they do not provide knee pads the combiner does not have robot mode feet to hide and the legs dont have lots of kibble on the lower legs that make it look strange (like breakdown).

3) arms: Superion would win this category with his twin jet arms. Defensor would lose this since he has a skinny and bulky arm, and the hands look strange on the car molds for arms and much better on the planes. Bruticus has planes for both arms, giving him sleeker arms that match the hands better.

Overall, Bruticus wins because he has excellent proportions, lack of kibble, solid legs, sleek arms that match the hands, bulk, beef and yet he can be sleek where he needs to. and he does not have any robot mode feet obtrusively sticking out that need hid. Superion would win if his thighs were a bit thicker and the back kibble was slightly better. Any combiner with the truck mold would need a whole new torso. Defensor would win if it weren't for Blades compared to the rest and the large torso robot mode feet (which kills victorion since she cannot hide those), and Sky Reign I cannot judge yet, but I still feel Bruticus is the best overall

I agree, but - unless there is some catastrophic engineering flaw in sky lynx a'la brawl - Sky Reign is my hands down winner because: Angry Egyptian God Combiner; of course any repaint we get would immediately supersede Sky Reign, but I doubt we'll be seeing one of those

It's like I said: gotta wait for him before I can rank him next to Bruticus, but of the 5 and all the repaints of ones to come, he is the best to me

Love this little guy so much

He might be one of the few perfect figures ever, along with cosmos (I guess, haven't got one, but heard good things), and Blackjack; huh, they're all legends class...

Would definitely get another one if a repaint ever gets released individually

I can tell you the legends Cosmos was the best that there ever has been. He is a great figure and I love him to death

Well the legit rumors (thus far) for next year have a remold for cosmos slated for release, definitely gonna get him (plus he's a I think)

Wow, this looks great!

Continuing the galleries for Hasbro's Transformers Combiner Wars Bruticus wave, we now have Voyager Class Onslaught, the Combaticons leader. This toy is a retool and redeco of Combiner Wars Hotpot but with the alt mode ingeniously being reversed where the front is now the back and the back is now the front. We also have a video review up showcasing him and his ability to form Bruticus.

This wave is appearing at retail in North America so here is your chance to get a good look at the toy if you are wondering if he is worth the pick up. If ever you spot him in your neck of the woods, be sure to tell your fellow Seibertronians in the sightings section.


Generations Combiner Wars Onslaught

It's hard to tell, but is the Olive Green paint on Onslaught exactly the same as the paint on Brawl? You don't see matched paint like that on separate figures too often.

So excited to finally get Onslaught! He looks great, and mine just shipped out from BBTS this morning. Should be here by the end of the week.

Aw, you're makin' me jealous - I have them on pre-order at BBTS as well, but I haven't gotten an alert saying mine are available. I guess they have their own system there as well...
