Transformers G1 COMBATICONS / BRUTICUS Review

[MrScottYule]

Doesnt the cannon for armorhide/brawn go behind the leg?

[TheG1transformersfan]

Do you think I should get bruticus

[thecollector75]

@TheG1transformersfan if yo like the look of him, yes

[biokids4]

How much

[viraticwars]

These are pretty complex for G1.

[Sonicfan1396]

you can move the legs down and closer to each other to give bruticus a more natural look.

[guyman117]

In the US all space missions are done by the US Air force and most Astronauts are USAF personel. So they must have thought it was ok sense they already had dozens of Jet transformers.

[drizzle505]

Awsome reivew! Bruticus was the best of the combiners!

[skywarp205]

dont drop it agian

[BladeShepherd]

Maybe you can answer this for me: Why did they change the Bruticus team to Ruination in RID?

[thecollector75]

i havent a clue, it was strange as they then released a 3 headed dog toy as bruticus lol

[viraticwars]

@BladeShepherd

It was a licensing deal. See, Beast Machines line was dying off and they still had a few unrealeased molds. RID was the next toy line, so they simply changed packaging so that they could sell the BM toys. They already had a toy named Bruticus, the three headed dog, and they aren't in the habit of naming two robots the same thing in the same line, so they renamed the Combaticons Ruination. Ta-da.

Great review as always:) Can you do a review on the KO bruticus you have? The normal sized one?

[onslaught314]

you actually show onslaught's battle platform mode! much appreciated! =)

btw, how sturdy are blast off's and vortex's arm joints? kinda paranoid about them after my KO bruticus figure.

[thecollector75]

the arm joints seem ok but just take a bit of extra care over them and they should be fine. im more worried about vortexs head as i snapped it off just before i reviewed him lol

[xxxmarkhatesyouxxx]

I'm currently trying to get Bruticus on eBay right now. Nice review. =)

[Nintendoman34710]

you can get him a little cheaper now because takara just released him in there transformers encore line hope this helped :)

[destructionsnakepit]

Not only was this a fantastic review but I got to learn something new which I always love doing about my Transformers, I never knew about Onslaught's launching mechanism, i'll have ro check that out. I only need his left leg to make him whole. One of my favourite combiners so I was glad to see you do a review of him

[thecollector75]

glad you liked it - graham

[vh2k]

I think Motormaster has one as well, I'll need to check if I can find him in storage.

[thecollector75]

cool, let me know - graham

[vh2k]

Nah, he has a ramp which the chest plate car sits on but there's no launcher.

[ilovemess]

good man!! i've got baldigus but he's as ugly as all get out! this guys on my list. got my birthday bits sorted! pounce/wingspan and that guide you recommended. ray

[thecollector75]

its a really good book and very cheap, highly recamended

[Gamabuntatoadfan]

graham, can you switch blast off and vortex to be the feet and brawl and swindle as arms like the rid ruination?

[thecollector75]

yeah you certainly can , i just prefer them like that - graham

[OneAndOnly300]

hi dont suppose you have computron??

[thecollector75]

hi, yeah i do though ilovemess just did a really great review on it - graham

[OneAndOnly300]

yea just watched it sorry didnt realise

[moshman69]

i have the orignal bruticus but none of them have any rubsigns i have just re stickered them they look so much better with all the stickers looking new i also did menasor aswell are you going to get the encore one? i am because im going to put my 80s lot and put them in the box and dissplay the encore ones and also i want them for the rubsigns

[thecollector75]

they sound like the classic version from 1989 - 90, i had those too, but sold them to get the jap boxed 1s , if i see the encore 1s for a fair price, i may get them, but i have loads of them arhggg - graham

[Vampyre000]

Have you seen the urban camo repaint of him from RiD? Awesome. P.S, do the robots individual guns combine together like they do from RiD?

[thecollector75]

yeah, i have that 1 too, looks the best repaint they did of them. on this version, the gun cant combine like they do in R.I.D. , you can put 1 or 2 of them together but thats about it - graham

[urizen123]

Great review mate!

A little rushed, but obviously that's not your fault!

Damn it - Youtube needs to make you a partner so we can get longer reviews! :)

[thecollector75]

thanks, id love to be able to longer reviews, 10 mins just aint enough for some of these guys. i did rush this a little as i have reviewed them before in their battle gaia incarnation( see vid ) and i wanted to show onslaughts little launching gimmick - graham

[seekerjet]

Dude you have a new review every hour haha nice

I can't wait for the Encore Bruticus set is on sale (and more importantly, arrived at my place).

[thecollector75]

i will prob slow down a bit now as im back at work :( from today , ive been off since xmas - graham

[seekerjet]

I've been working like crazy, no day off :(

What is your occupation if I may ask? Just curious...

[thecollector75]

im a postman, been 1 now for 5 years, why i have all afternoon to do these reviews , so it does have its good points. what do you do ? - graham

[seekerjet]

The extra time is great! I work as a software engineer full-time so I have to make my videos in the weekend. During weekdays I try to relax as much as possible after work.
