hi there,

I have finally finished my custom bruticus transformer. Ok here is a bit about him, he is 19 inches tall and
is by far the biggest and most complex custom i have ever made, he is designed to fit perfectly in scale next to
the classics / henkei / generations line.

Bruticus is extremely articulated and here is a list of his articulation
- main head is ball jointed
-shoulders are very posable, 360 degrees as well as tilting up and down
-elbows bend
-upper arms rotate
-wrist is ball jointed
-hands are extremely posable whith each finger being balljointed as well as a second pin joint
-waist rotates 360 degrees
-hips are highly articulated swinging in and out as well as back and forward, ratcheted joints too.
-knees are posable
-lower leg pivots
-ankle pivots to provide dynamic posing too
-the wings on his chest shield also swing in and out to allow for greater
movement (plus its a really cool gimmick :)
-and his hip armor also swings in and out to allow dynamic leg posing.

Bruticus also comes with three heads the first is very closely modeled on the gen one head, the second
has angry eyes and the third has a variation on the eyes, all three are included so you can choose
which you prefer, (i like the angry eye version)

i have made two scratchbuilt giant guns for bruticus based on the gen one rifle, he actually only ever had one
gun on the show but i like him with two :) each one is huge too.

now for the individual robots, bruticus is completely transformable.all the individual robots transform
without having to take away parts or add parts on (they are NOT partformers)

-onslaught has individually posable giant scratchbuilt cannons in truck mode that are on bruticus's back in combined
mode (note: you dont have to remove and replace the cannons in combined mode, they transform to the correct configuration),
you can also pose these cannons up in onslaughts robot mode but i prefer them down.he also has a new
scratchbuilt head

-vortex has removable blades and a secret hidden weapon that converts into a hand held shoulder mounted
missile launcher. he is extremely posable and comes with a new scratch built head (when transforming into
bruticus arm mode the only thing you have to add is the hand, everything else is part of the transformation)

- blast off comes with a hidden weapon too which can be transformed into a battle axe (this is my fave
weapon :) he is extremely posable and comes with a new scratch built head (when transforming into
bruticus arm mode the only thing you have to add is the hand, everything else is part of the transformation)

-brawl was heavily modified to make him look gen oneish with brand new arms etc his secret weapon is
created from his tank barrel and is a hand held bazooka.he is extremely posable and comes with a new scratch built head

-swindle was also heavily modified to look gen one ish and i really like him alot. he comes with a roof
mounted double cannon that brakes apart into two hand held blasters,he is extremely posable and comes with a new scratch built head


well i hope you like him, bye bye

Holy crap! :eek:
That is insane Robot_art, yet another masterpiece mate, well one! :D:cool:

You've nailed the G1 look IMO and I especially love Onslaught and Vortex as they both look excellent. :D
The head sculpting you've done is incredible too as swindle looks awesome as does Brawl and Blastoff! ;)
The hands looks sweetly Robotic, yet, articulate and the head sculpt is almost 1:1! :cool:

Thanks for posting the pics man and enlightening us to this beautiful custom, I hope we get to see more from you in the future. :)

[janda the red]

wow... :eek:

in the words of thorpedo.... thats fully sick!

anyways...

thanks for sharing mate.... it's awesome

janda :)

[primatives]

Whoa! That is sick!!! Love the individual pics!!!! Saw your Devastator pics as well their awesome too!!!

[gamblor916]

Impressive!

[Vector Prime]

:eek: x ∞

Utterly speechless...

[5FDP]

Out of all the customs I have ever seen, you win :eek:

[jaydisc]

Brilliant! I recognize most molds, but who is Vortex based on?

[Sleeve]

From what I can tell, G1 Whirl.

[loophole]

awesome stuff there mate

[1AZRAEL1]

Fan-smeggin-tastic mate. Great job.

[Sky Shadow]

Wow - before I clicked the link I was expecting this to be about a millionth as good as it is. Utterly amazing.


Brilliant! I recognize most molds, but who is Vortex based on?

It's mostly Robots In Disguise/Car Robots Rapid Run/J-Seven. And Blast Off is similarly Railspike/J-Five.

[kaiden]

insane stuff!

i love the custom weapons - they make the custom so unique

[Robot_art]

From what I can tell, G1 Whirl.

Nope, noy based on whirl at all. Here are the bots used (which I should have posted earlier but completely forgot about:)

Vortex and blast off are both RID trains heavily modified onslaught is cybertron mudflap again heavily modified, brawl is movie brawl with gen one mods and swindle is animated swindle with nodded arms legs and head to make him look less animated, hope that helps. Glad you guys like him :)

[Lint]

fantastic work matey! I always love transformable customs!

[Sleeve]

Are they Whirl's tailfins? That's what threw me.

[k.wong23]

Stunning mate, am speechless! Wish I had the ability to make one :p

Onslaught looks amazing!

[jaydisc]

It's mostly Robots In Disguise/Car Robots Rapid Run/J-Seven. And Blast Off is similarly Railspike/J-Five.

Dang. I recognized Blast-off as one member of JRX, but not the other.


Are they Whirl's tailfins? That's what threw me

Actually, aren't they Rotostorms? It's the tailfins that threw me too.

That's a really amazing custom! Thanks so much for sharing. :)

Crap, that's who I meant. Think I'd get that one right considering he's one of my favourites. :p

[liegeprime]

oooh do Menasor next!!! Twood be very interesting!!

[rampagesss]

Dam, you just keep out doing your self with your customs don't you!

[kristofferrer]

oooh do Menasor next!!! Twood be very interesting!!

NO DON'T DO MENASOR! then i'd be compelled to buy ... lol

[Robot_art]

Why does everybody love menasor :) I was planning on doing either the protectabots or a fricken huge 15" tall custom power master overlord but everybody seems to prefer menasor so I should probably do him next huh?

Also for those that asked the bots used are
Onslaught cybertron mudflap
Swindle is animated swindle
Brawl is movie brawl
Vortex and blast off are the two RID train bots

All were heavily modified to look more gen oneish too. Sorry I didn't list up the bots earlier.

Glad you guys like this guy he is easily my favorite custom that I have made. Bye bye

[kristofferrer]

Menasor is just badass.
and he looks awesome. the samurai look, the sword, and the fact he's made up of cars...

[1AZRAEL1]

Make Overlord. Menasor is great and all, but I wanna see what you can do with Overlord.

[Robot_art]

as much as i love overlord i am thinking its probably going to be menasor next :)

[Hursticon]

as much as i love overlord i am thinking its probably going to be menasor next :)

Yay! :D:cool:
There are going to be a hell of a lot of people looking forward to this one dude! :D

[kaiden]

as much as i love overlord i am thinking its probably going to be menasor next :)

sell it to me and not loophole! :P

[Robot_art]

sell it to me and not loophole! :P

Maybe you should just fight for it and the winner will get first ribs :) then again that sounds like a lawsuit waiting to happen :( perhaps not

Just a quick reminder that bruticus ends on eBay pretty soon too if anyone is interested to bid or to see what he goes for. Bye bye

Fingers crossed for you dude, I don't know what the cost was to build this beauty but IMO the price it's at, at the moment, is a pretty nice one indeed. :cool:

Nah it was in jest, you don't have to tell me :p

[kaiden]

if the sale price of bruticus is anything to go by, my wife would say no to me buying it.

if it was an "otca battle royale -last man standing wins!" i reckon i'd have a good chance at winning

[kristofferrer]

Do I hear your wallet crying cuz.... nah I think it just went into coma. ....:Dmwahahahahaha


yeah that's my wallet you can hear... it's all in coins. hahahaha

[Vector Prime]

ermm... are you really sure you want to know? :p:rolleyes:


I'm scared to ask :p

Nah it was in jest, you don't have to tell me :p

Didn't you know?

Bruticus owns the Australian subsidiary of Hasbro. He bought this custom so that head office could make a mold of it so they could offer it as a mass retail release. :p

[bruticus]

I'm scared to ask :p
Nah it was in jest, you don't have to tell me :p
you can ask me when im over there for the parramatta fair. lol
just let me know if you want the clean answer or the dodgy answer...:p



if it was an "otca battle royale -last man standing wins!" i reckon i'd have a good chance at winning

man, i wish things in life were that straight forward to settle. it would certainly be more fun!

if only hasbro actually thought like that! cos robot_art certainly did a great job of making it fit with the classics-verse line. kudos! they should definitely give him a job there!

or.... do you mean, i bought it only so i can sell it to i-gear so they can then mass produce it like anemis' UM armour and wheeljack's MP coneheads? :rolleyes:

[kaiden]
