I had to look at the official pics to work it out, but the small dark energon shard has two hooks on the top, that hook onto the top of the chest... but in doing so, close up the chest halves.

With the others...

Quick question to any owners of the SDCC Bruticus.
Are there tech specs for the individual combaticons anywhere in the packaging. From all the pics I've seen there just seems to be a small blurb about Bruticus but no proper individual techs...is this correct?

Cheers

No... and I never thought about it either.
I guess that's what the regular retail ones will have, as a reason to buy them. ;)
