Package Art for Takara Tomy Transformers Unite Warriors UW07 Bruticus

The back lit approach does a lot to emphasis his size. Absolutely badass! Looking forward to closer and better shots.

Why, what's wrong with it?

Now that's a spicy meatball

Nice. The return of the window box (as if there was any doubt) *ahem* but anyway...

I just wonder why Hasbro didn't do this in the first place. I mean when Optimus Maximus was introduced at the end of CW#4 comic THIS (as shown above) was more or less what he looked like (some limbs changed place but you get the idea). Why he magically changed white Battle Core (at Hasbro's insistence no doubt) in the next issue is beyond me.

I mean is Hasbro that greedy so as to swap Body parts thinking everyone would have original Optimus Prime be a Hodge-podge like Cyclonus, and the Battle Core would be the "True" Optimus Maximus?

Well I guess its a moot point, since any fan who wants can just have the standard Optimus along with the Correct "Maximus" Autobot limbs, or just get the UW-05 either way.

I mean I think both Combiner Wars and Unite Warriors are amazing. But it seems Hasbro has had so many misfires along the way, and I have no idea if they were intentional, or accidental (or a combination thereof)

At any rate, I wonder what the future of UW will be? -No doubt they will release Computron at some point, but beyond that is anyone's guess (will TT release Sky Reign & Victorian? , will they create their own release?)

I was thinking it would be kind of neat to repurpose the Battle Core Optimus as Ultra-Magnus and have 4 new (repaint/remold) Autobot limbs to go with him (ala Grand Galvatron), so he would no longer be a Hodge-podge. But then again, they already released Grand Scourge as an exclusive, probably wouldn't want to use that mold a 4th time.

I prefer cardboard inserts over styrofoam. I can easily recycle the cardboard.

May I ask real quick if this is a reference to something? Cause I have heard it before and took it as a reference

The Mask with Jim Carrey. If you havent seen it, I strongly recomend it. You also get to see Cameron Diaz at her all time hottest. You can put some cheese between 2 loafs of bread next to the screen and she could turn it into a grilled cheese.

Which is a reference to an old Tums commercial.
I would guess MegaDump's referring to the fact that Bruticus will do to the Autobots what that meatball did to that poor construction workers stomach.
I get the sense MegaDump nows a thing or two about GI discomfort.

Actually it was also something homer said when the government told him about the trillion dollar bill that they wanted him to find.

Talk about mental decay - in the absence of anything better to do, I had a look online... I can find no evidence that Bart or Milhouse ever said anything about meatballs lol. I'm actually finding this whole false or twisted "memory" rather disturbing! Is it possible that I didn't seduce Lady Godiva before teleporting back onto the Enterprise to blow up the Death Star?

I dont know. I myself still refuse to believe that the time I made out with JLo was a dream.

But yes, memory has been known to be unreliable. Check this out for some interesting reading: https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/hi ... ble-memory

It's funny you should mention that, I've always experienced a very selective memory... While it was useful at school & got me through university, I'm now reaching the stage where "useful information" is being lost in preference to remembering every line of dialogue from Transformers: The Movie. But if all it takes is "a cursory evaluation of Decepticon capabilities" to indicate a "distinct tactical deficiency," then I suppose I can afford to lose a few patients due to professional incompetence lol.
