This is the Bruticus, an Energon repaint, my first combiner, and my first transformer who can finally reach Primus's chest.
Members include:
The transformation and combination to Bruticus took a while for my first time, but it was an enjoyable time. Basically the
tanks remain the tanks. The helicopters transform middle way to robot mode and then flip the entire cockpit the other way.
The boring Onslaught? This is the fun part transforming him into the body. Then, put the limbs on. Wha-la! The tall and
thin Bruticus is now in front of me. I only have three words. "I love it!"
Height comparison, my classic Optimus Prime is over his waist a little bit and he is at the chest of Primus. I prefer his head
look not to flip his "ears" out to form like "horns". The most fun part is you can exchange the limbs between the four. So
you can have two tank arms and two helicopter legs, two helicopter arms and two tank legs, or mix. Each one has its own
ups and downs but all different looks and fun. And if you have Energon/Classics/ROTF Surperion or Energon Construction,
you can swap their limbs. Personally, I am still not a big fun of using those energon weapons as feet and hands. That does
give him some not so realistic look and balance issue but the cartoon already looked that way. He is somewhat posable,
only need to figure out balance issue some times.
Transformation: 8 - After first time, it's not that hard and lengthy.
Fun: 9 - This big guy is posable and can switch limbs. Is that not enought?
Display: 9 - Tired of the same look? Swap his limbs and you will get different feelings.
Value: 9 - $29.99 Target Exclusive. I think this is a good price for 5 guys into 1 with different modes.
Overall: 9 - Finding him in the Target store is a little bit challenge for me but the taste is good. He does have balance issue
but overall he is pretty good. I am still happy I picked him up instead of Surperion. I might wait if I am lucky to pick up
Surpision on the sale price so I can have fun swapping them.
