Universe Bruticus Maximus First Full Image

Man that just looks awful. It would look much better if the hands and feet where painted gray of black. I hope the final version looks better.

Its a disspointment hasbor did not give him a new head. But otherwise not bad.

Things to note:

Brawl's and Blastoff's Energon pieces are lighter than the Helicopter pieces. Orange instead of red.

Whoever combined him, did a really lousy job at it:

Attached the left hand backwards. Thumb is above the fingers as opposed to under them.

And the attached the right chopper leg backwards. So his knee will bend forward instead of backward. (Just need to rotate it back)

Other than that he looks pretty cool. I do like Onslaught's color scheme: dark military green, and gray.

Looking forward to seeing him in stores.

Also, technically, for the classic configuration, you'd want Brawl and Swindle as legs, this guy made them arms. It would be better if they made the combined head remold and made the weapons at least silver so they matched the G1 colors.

Not bad.

Blast Off seems like a fine name for a tank. Disagree, and he'll blast off your head.

I hope its a gift set too. It was a major pain trying to track down the individual limbs back in Energon. I was never able to find a Blight to complete my Bruticus.

So yeah a box set with all the figures would be great.

Jeez! That looks bad.

Pass

I like it. I'll buy it if the price is good. And since people are arhuing over the helicopter being Swindle, I shall refer to them as Wilbur, Fred, Joe, Tim, and Hermes for no good reason.

Some people will say its true and that they fall part. But in my experience its not true.

I have all 3 Energon combiners, and can say that as long as the limbs are snapped in correctly on the torso pegs they are surprisingly steady.

I can even say I have to apply quite a bit of pressure to remove the limbs from the combined form.


So you can be assured the combined robot holds together well.
