014 Fansproject Crossfire 02B Munitioner and 02A Explorer - TF Source Video Review 014

[Trixyoo]

will FansProject reissue both of them again??

[Teeheehee093]

FP toys have the most confusing names. Is this Bruticus or what?

[timothymanzella]

Your video is a favorite on Tunisia

[gamermaster1994]

they look more badass in fall of cybertron

[TangIsHere]

When I was looking at the web site to order. It said and had two different prices, $99 for a C9 and 101 for mint. What does that mean?

[RadioPirata101]

when will tfsource get a restock of brusticus because i already have munitoner and exlporer and I want to combine them

[MrOmegaprime]

i can see it is back in stock again... but is this great set going to be available in the future still? a surtain someone in the family says i cant buy it right now... altough i have enough money...

[noblefighter89]

bruticus if he was under starscreams comand, megatron would be dead.... all hail starscream

[jango90210]

@noblefighter89 they were under his command in the original show...not for long but still...

[zombieemperor]

this would be a great set

if it didn't cost 120 bucks to get

[jango90210]

I wish hasbro would actually do stuff like this...keeping stuff show/movie/game accurate...nowaday's they have to do all this fancy stuff like the MechTech and all that...they cant just make it look like in the movie...

[AtticWarrior1994]

DO FRIGGIN' WANT. :D

[TheForgotenStef30000]

On Ebay ROTF Bruticu and Munitioner and Explorere toogether are much higher then 500 USD XD

[kidlockdmh]

I subbed to your channel great stuff sub me back have a look at my videos I have a massive loose figure collection over 3000 figures on display presented in a video tour and a hilarious webshow about collecting toys called GRIMS TOY SHOW guaranteed to make the Toy collector laugh!

[botswanky]

The best Transformers toy ever made... and it's based around one of Hasbro's worst toys. Fansproject are the only guys making proper adult collectibles & I hope they're around for a long time to come.

[nzwhiskey]

This is going to cost almost $400!!! Its amazing, but I'l stick with getting perfect effects scouting force x for now.

[NationalSniper]

The weapon for the Humvee is a TOW2B anti-tank missile launcher.

I wish they added an update for Brawl. A new turret or single gun barrel to make him a tank. Which is a more accurate alt-mode for him then an anti-aircraft vehicle.

The height of 12 inches is that from toes to head or does that include the guns on the back?

Because I think the Energon combiners are a bit small if you want to display them with classics. But if this set makes it taller that would make it more interesting.

[Grandstra]

What's with the G1 obsession?

Besides, I fear using these, the scramble component would be scrapped, am I right?

[TheForgotenStef30000]

BRUTICUS ANGRY!

BRUTICUS DEVASTATES DEVASTATOR!

[fsujs]

i must say i love these, its professional to say the least. stop-motion is great, info is in depth, these people are true fans that want to do the franchise justice. keep up the great work

[guncannon109]

Just ordered it off BBTS this morning... and now I'm waiting.

[KingofKeys2000]

holy crap that is a nice figure. i want it.

[THERE1255]

where do i get all of them

[rick4777]

that is how BRUTICUS SHOULD look like!!!!

[willywonkaMusic13]

love it

[Windwatcher]

Now the Target set is up in the 100's without the add ons. Ridiculous!

[NemesisPrime1989]

@Windwatcher yeah I know. It's really something you need to save up for

[TheDilla2012]

where can you buy this toy

[tfsource]

@TheDilla2012 you can buy it on our site, unfortunately we're currently out of stock but expect more in the near future. Sign up for our personal assistant to email you as soon as it's back instock! Thanks TFsource

[M0A0R0k00W0Y0L0D0E]

@tfsource go make a vid about the new remold of this guys

[LakeIrvin]

@tfsource you know the TF ROTF exclusive Beachcomber?i think you guys should try to make a more G1 accurate head sculpt for him.it would make him look a lot better.

[NemesisPrime1989]

I just bought ROTF Bruticus and the Explorer and Munitioner off of eBay. Totally worth it. Great review!

[SSBB321Go]

Munitioner and Explorer look likes swindle and blast off (g1)

[anguirusfan26]

@SSBB321Go not to be rude but thats kind of the point

[dblackflame1000]

hey is there any possibility of you selling the other tank and helicopter?

[Tuuvas]

Hey guys, any word on when these might be back in stock?

[kimurao2]

Oh and be careful. I laugh at the ebay prices. I got my aerialbots for 70 (S&H included) Theyre on ebay for 150 - 300. If FP doesnt do a re-release, you can expect those prices for these two.

[kimurao2]

Hands down the greatest set I have ever gotten. My current lists are: warbot, protector, city commander, shadow commander, DIA, aerialbots (non-snowman), Eject/rewind, Rumble/frenzy, TAOW blade, universe add on kit (for inferno, etc), teletraans parts and most of the devy gestalt sets.

This set was incredibly fun and they look fantastic. Only grip i have is that the Bruticus replacement head will not fit into Onslaughts alt mode unless you do some cutting. All in all, swindle and blast off =A+

[Jehuty989]

damn.. i guess these fansproject figures will only remain in my dreams.. lol they are so damn expensive..

[BioformerCorviz]

rotf bruticus?

[zilvertron]

@BioformerCorviz

A pimped up ROTF Bruticus with todays answer for the style of yesterday

[mondoqracker]

i like the way you snuck both of there names into the review by discribing them,

A+

[guncannon109]

what exactly did you mean by "barrels right through, and never looks back?"

[TheOmegadarkness]

@guncannon109 check ebay check bigbadtoystore check everywhere the sets are nearly impossible to find we missed our chance when they were cheap now they go into the hundreds simply for bruticus without the fansproject

[zilvertron]

@guncannon109

He meant that theres a great risk with 3rd part companies that whanever something they made is sold out, its not a guarantee everybody wil be able to get their copy in time

[tykes95]

Have any hint or knowledge about who's gonna be the next Fansproject Crossfire set 03?

[allycliftonsucks]

@tykes95 maybe devastator but he was already badass enough

[drakozero8]

they charge so much money for there stuff its a huge rip off omg TALK ABOUT TAKING ADVANTAGE ON PPL

[ChainX]

@drakozero8

Their not takeing advantage of anyone. Their not forcing anyone to buy them. No one NEEDS to buy these toys.

Whats more, they are not a big toy company, and these are very expensive molds and packages to produce at a large volume. If they want to turn a profit, they must charge more than usual.

Besides, last time I peeked at Wal-Mart, the prices hasbro is charging for their toys is far more of a rip off than these by comparison.

[godfrove]

Now for me the only thing in the set that's out of place is brawl and onslauth's heads and spark crystals but still a wonderful set and is awesome!

[mariodude345]

how tall is munitioner and explorer compared to classics bumblebee?

[kimurao2]

@mariodude345 They are exactly the same size. You ARE paying 48 bucks each for a transformer you can get for 12.99. Only problem is, you won't find these constantly being recycled ( although the city commander has been tit times over )

[elphau]

awesome !!

[blastardinc]

still looks nothing like THE REAL Bruticus.

[cannonfodder4000]

how does he not look like bruticus? 0.o

[TheMrFiredragonheart]

i don't like how explorer has optimus prime head

[NYDEMOLITIONFANS]

fuck that my kids wont play with non of this shit 'till they reach 30 years old.....word to MOMMA!!!!

[ultratron562]

this would look awsome with the upcoming legends stascream

[ni6887]

are the sets sutable for play for kids?

[kimurao2]

@ni6887 No. The barrels of the gun will for sure snap when your kids bashes grimlock into him.

[megas2468]

Simply AWESOME set, I just got him and looking at all the extra stuff like the shotguns turn into smaller guns, the Big ass sniper rifle inti a SMG and the head sculpt is breath taking. just get the sets and take a look for your self (^^)

[theprimo100]

Is it true that there is a thirs Crossfire set coming soon?

[terrainxXxprime]

I really want this set but I neither have the money or Energon Bruticus mold

[mariodude345]

I want Swindle So badly how much does it cost?

[transformersdude1011]

@mariodude345 about $50

[mariodude345]

@transformersdude1011 Cool thanks! :D

[mutchy4efc]

so wait it is a dd on kit for ROTF buiticus

[AZZA280]

i thougth bruticus looked crap anyway this jsut looks awsome

[arevaloanthony]

Wow HASBRO really sucks in imagination :(

[robots1]

received mine today, they are hard as heck to transform!!!!!

[Slayershoop]

@robots1 Which part, the figures, or combining? Both seem to be relatively easy for me, but then again I have wayyyy too many TF's -_-'

[codeywings10]

Ok hopefully tfsource or bbts gets it in soon been wating forever!!!!!!!!

[Slayershoop]

@codeywings10 Both have them in now.

[transformersmoviesp]

i would rathe buy 2 of the blast off,repaint it & put on superion

[codeywings10]

I got a question toy arena had them in stock but no other store did this makes no sense

[Slayershoop]

@codeywings10 ToyArena is in Asia, and Fansproject sends stock into stores via boat. Therefore, ToyArena got them first. It takes 20-30 days from when they shipped them (Early August) to arrive at the US stores, i.e. BBTS and TFSource

[flamingunicron]

@Slayershoop ToyArena is in LA...not Asia. They probably get it first cause they are close to the coast/port.

[Slayershoop]

@flamingunicron Oh yeah, totally slipped my mind... anyway, it could also be that they have it, but putting stuff into a system takes a long time, or it could still be enroute, or ToyArena could have made a deal with Fansproject, any one of these is possible.

[angelicbluetears]

I got mine and believe me ,you get what you paid for.

[LordMegatronG1]

I can't wait until mine ship out! Shit's gonna be Christmas in August.

[GodCory]

I cant wait to get mine, toyarena had them in stock last night but sold out. good thing I looked there when i did :)

[MaddChiLLMitch]

Any word about the Fansproject's Bruticus upgrades =/ ? It's the last half of August.

[Nephy3107]

So looking forward to this...now I need a smaller 'Scream so it can ride on his shoulder.

[jetfire851]

I switched my pre-order to TFSource after I got a City Commander upgrade for my Classics Optimus from you guys. Can't wait for Bruticus to ship--at least the delays are justified by Fansproject's insane quality control.

[lightningGundam]

Now all we need is a masterpiece ultra magnus up grade

[swimmaster789]

Do you know where i can find a bruticus maximus?????

[rick4777]

@swimmaster789 ebay will be you're best bet.

[swimmaster789]

@rick4777 thanks

[rick4777]

@swimmaster789 no problem that is where i bought mine

[swimmaster789]

@rick4777 just, wondering, how much did you pay and are you getting the Munitioner and Explorer?

[rick4777]

@swimmaster789 i think i payed around 60 bucks for it, the reason i bought in the first place was cause of this set that i will eventually be getting.

[retrocute]

I took a THIRD job so I may save up for this badass shit.

[Azarazza]

Easily the most kick ass combiner set ever, if only I had the money to spare.. sigh

[michaelcabrera]

I preordered 6 sets of this product from TFSource. I love the way TFSource wraps their items in that nice shiny cellophane to keep things mint!

Anyone who wants these but is undecided and sleeps on these is going to regret it big-time!! I see this selling out faster than the the Crossfire 01 sets, and even faster than the Crossfire 01 "Snowman" set!

[guillo1790]

does the energon bruticus fits with 02B Munitioner and 02A Explorer upgrade?

[Guiltaur]

@guillo1790 - The Energon Bruticus Maximus mold was repainted into the RotF Bruticus Maximus so the figures themselves are the same design, just given a different colour scheme. So 02A and 02B will both work with any Bruticus Maximus set.

[guillo1790]

@Guiltaur thank you

[omniflix]

I was fortunate enough to make it to BOTCON 2010 and I have to say you guys had one of the best booth layouts and friendly staff. Bought my first aftermarket redeco Coronation Starscream kit and loved it. I also noticed the Munitioner and Explorere prototypes and had no clue as to their background and origin other than the fact that they were obviously Bruticus remakes...one month later and I have the whole story now...this is absolutley awsome. I hope this is the begining of a new trend!

[poopadoop13579]

aren't the hands from a gundam set?

[Collecticons]

@poopadoop13579 No. They are specifically made for this set. They may be based on hands from a Gundam set though.

[1975Aztec]

@poopadoop13579 Wrong, Perfect grade hands are what your thinking of and they are far more articulated than those, they have each section of the finger as a joint and each finger is like real hands, as the middle is the longest, index 2nd tallest, ring is third tallest and pinky is smallest, and the thumb has two joints in it as well .... I'd like to see Hasbro beat Bandai ...Bandai Japan that is!

[illiniguy34]

I wish that fansproject would make an upgrade kit for classics devastator

[nightslash3535]

Was that Revoltech EVA-02?

[cannonfodder4000]

yeah

[tfsource]

@nightslash3535 Affirmative

[hamzaawesome7]

@tfsource Can you store his tan/grey gun on his back or something like that?

[M0A0R0k00W0Y0L0D0E]

@tfsource hey u know incinerator the v-22 ospray well im thinking u guys must make a new rotor that just like bruticus new hand but just a 3 joints hand

[magnettoa]

I wish I did not miss out on the Bruticus set

[cannonfodder4000]

theres always ebay XD

[rick4777]

looking forward to getting this awesome set! thumbs up!!

[maku175]

I am sssssooooo getting these sets!

[Kaiz2Kaiz]

- awaiting his "Blast off"

- "Swindling" poses

XD very subtle dude

[armorhide]

@Kaiz2Kaiz oh yes so subtle

[aDeRiAn20]

.,luckily i have bought my own bruticus for only Php800 ($17) last christmas hehe. still lacking the credit cards though... :(

[Khrome1]

Damn.. thats awesome.. must.. resist... must.... arggggg

[nightslash3535]

It's okay, as long as you have the Universe/ROTF Bruticus set which prices will sky-rocket on online auctions the following years.

[Slayershoop]

@nightslash3535 Price has already skyrocketed....

[SURROUNDEDBYCOMMENTS]

Swindle looks Bad-Ass! Transforms into a Humvee!

[nightslash3535]

Swindle is the most bad ass humvee in my Transformers collection.

[hiperstrong]

@nightslash3535 you have does 2 already?

[hiperstrong]

@nightslash3535 you have those 2 already?

[nightslash3535]

No, not this one, but some Swindle-related toys.

[BaronVonDabagel]

I am soooooooooo glad I preordered these two. FP Bruticus will probably be the over-all figure of the year....well that's my opinion anyway. :P

[SURROUNDEDBYCOMMENTS]

@BaronVonDabagel Good for you -_-

[Kamentoyreviewer]

G1ish accurate i like it 

[MMTrigger]

Can these sets combine with the Energon version of Bruticus? I missed the boat for the ROTF version, and I'd rather not have to spend the extra money just to get the ROTF version if the original version would work too.

[TheWingblade86]

@MMTrigger Of course, since the energon version and the rotf version share the same mold, they are just repaints, altough these kits look best with the universe/rotf version of bruticus maximus ;-)

[MMTrigger]

@TheWingblade86 Well I was just asking since nobody who's gotten these figures early has bothered to showcase them on the original version, not even for one picture.

[trivialpanda]

wow, this totally blows the Aerial team add on kit out of the sky.

[TheSkatingreptile]

And its preorded.

[bleedman01]

kickautobotass!!!

[loganstoy1]

Pure fantastic! I want Hasbro to write a thank you letter to Fansproject for making Bruticus relevant to the fans. Hopefully this review is the precursor to these guys being shipped out!

[maxustech12]

hope i can get them

[vultwaz]

i feel explorer should have been in nasa colours

[Thunderscreamer]

ITS ALREADY A HUNDRED BUCKS JUST FOR BOTH SETS! OH CORSE IT WILl bE OVER A HUNDRED BUCKS IN THE FUTURE!

[Galvaridarts]

Congratulations to fansproject!! ^.^

[DJazz410]

KICK ASS SWEET

[Mistalickwid]

The bruticus set is going like crazy right now on ebay...$75 is about the avg right now..This is more than likely going to be the set of the year interms of that"must have" feeling..After seeing these at botcon i'm blown away by how much it improves the set ...

[joeldarkmaster]

After ive watch this. My pant is soaking wet. -,-'

[ConvoyGTR]

omg!! i thought i was content with the original energon bruticus set, but woooow, this is incredible!!!! preordering now and hunting for a rotf bruticus set tomorrow! :)

[TheWingblade86]

@ricktorprime Why do you write something creepy like this, I really don't want to know.. For what purpose, neither..

[zerokaiser85]

Absolutely outstanding.. both the review and the set.. now I'm all the more narked off that I was never able to get my hands on Bruticus.. and I'm sure as hell not gunna be able to afford this any time soon :\ Bah!!

[TheSkatingreptile]

@zerokaiser85 Don't worry.They already make great stand alone figures.Besides,you will probably get bruticus soon.

[SoundMaster747]

I really hope FP does an upgrade set for classics Devastator...

[kmcclintock06]

i sell one for $40

[defiantnx523]

swindle and blastoff sweet

[PascTF]

My brain just exploded.

[Sye909]

@jetpackman01 uhhhhh that's because Munitioner *IS* supposed to be Swindle.

[Autocon609]

Yeah, seein them bad boys in HD sold it for me. I now have zero regrets that I held onto my ROTF Bruticus set. Looks like some deserving people somewhere in Asia are gettin a hundred bucks from me.

[christiantransfan]

AWWWSSSOMMMEEE!!!!!!!!!

[peaugh]

Looking good!

[Collecticons]

Be sure to watch until the end for a special sneak peek!

[xtroguyver]

so glad i have this set on preorder since feb, in fact only reason I bought rotf bruticus is becuase I just knew fans project had to an upgrade for him after doing one for superion, and damm its awsome

[shadowscribe]

ROTF bruticus was the wisest purchase I have ever made.

[luigu15]

I like this combiner ... i have a Loose Bruticus but i cant afford this extra pieces ... i think i will be selling my Bruticus. I really wanted this guys !!

[piplup2009]

the camera is shaking by the sheer awesomeness of the ultimate combiner

i havent got bruticus (hasnt been released in uk) but i might get A (£50 is a bit of a letdown) anyway

[capmodesty]

can't wait for them now, had my preorder with kapow for a while now. they should be shipping first week of august due to some problems with a part of the mold so they've done the remold before sending them out.

[risinglycan]

oh my god i must have the set

[tfmad]

so that's why bruticus is always expensive when I am looking for him =(

[RodimusMinor1987]

OMG when will Kapow get it in I am inlove

[thenames9]

AWESOME!

[starboykb]

Man, I was so happy pre-order this guys on time!

[RodimusMinor1987]

@starboykb Me too I preorderd it from Kapow in December last year
