Universe Bruticus Maximus First Full Image

Nice find! Im gonna have to get this and if supreme maximus is real then i am going to get him too.

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.

You've got to wonder just how indicative of the finished item this is. Will it actually be those colours, or is this just a random test shot?

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.

Menasor1979 strikes again.

It always amazes me how this gal (I presume "gal" because Menasor's store is called "Jennyzz's World") consistently manages to leak copies of unreleased TFs.
We're talking almost every figure without fail, as well as "not for sale" prototypes.

Either this lady is one smooth operative and should be hired by a spy ring of some sort, or she's a Hasbro front for vetting new toys to collectors.
Just the daily conspiracy theory, of course, but isn't it possible?

In any case, nice find.

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.

I'll pass on this. I just am not liking this combiner or any of the Energon combiners. It would of been nice to see Hasbro do a new mold of him.

Not bad.

Blast-Off as a tank.

I might've considered it if they'd re-colored one of the Superion bots.

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

If it is released as a Gift Set then I will consider picking it up. I am a sucker for Gift Sets

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.

I don't care if it's a little mismatched in the color pallet.
I missed out on the original and I love combiners so I only have 2 words...

DO WANT!

Jeez! That looks bad.

I like it. Besides I wasn't expecting a new head anyway.

Pass

if hasbro actually gave these enrgon combinors proper hands to work with i woul pick him up but the enrgon hands for the combinors cant really do anything hold weapons or make fist.

pass for me i like combinors but enrgon combinors are pass for me with the hands the way they are.

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.

I'm thinking about getting this—but are the rumors true that the joints don't hold together that well?

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.

Looks pretty good to me! Might give me an excuse to sell off the Energon version.

It looks to me like the helicopters have a proper five finger hand- 4 fingers and an opposable thumb. True, it's not a typical Transformer closed fist, but really... it's a proper hand. That's good enough for me.

I dunno, still looks like a robotic Frankenstein to me.
