Ah shazzbot. It looks nice. But the FOC Bruticus upgrade that is being mass produced is what I want.

[ILikeSoundwave]

I would rather get this than the new upgrade kit.

[Bidoofdude]

This looks pretty cool. Hard between this and the upgrade kit. As always, price will be a largely determining factor for me. This looks phenomenal though! :)

Looks like he was sucked out of the game! :eek:

[CBratron]

And it comes with hands! Proper hands!

[Deonasis]

I love it! From what has been shown all 3 modes are pretty spot on and there is some clever engineering going on. I am guessing Bruticus's thighs are Onslaughts forearms (there just aren't many other pieces they could be).

BUT I'm not feeling him standing eye to eye with Grimlock.

[1AZRAEL1]

Depends how much better he'll look in combined mode. And which version they'll do. More than likely they'll do the most game accurate version and the G2 version. Don't think they'll do a shiny version to match the Takara release.

[nofacej]

The absence of a shot showcasing his thighs in Gestalt mode is a little concerning, but providing they check out and he comes in SDCC/PE colours I will definitely be picking this guy up. Would want to pick up Echo's kit in addition for the limb add-ons it provides.

can a mod change the thread title?

I really like the look of this. it makes Bruticus more solid and not that ugly mess Hasbro was peddling.

[MayzaPrime]

:eek::eek::eek:

I can't wait to get this set for my FOC Combaticons!

I am even tempted to open my MSIB G2 Bruticus. :D

[Bidoofdude]

Looks fantastic. Definitely sign me up for one. :D

[ILikeSoundwave]

Oh yeah, definitely getting this guy, looks spectacular:D:eek:

[kup]

I am convinced.

[1AZRAEL1]

I may have to buy this too lol

[Deonasis]

Yeahup this is more awesome than before. :cool::eek::cool:

[kaiden]

looking at the pictures a bit more closely, i like that blastoff's arm mode looks more like the game and art and he actually has the flamethrower too.

everything about onslaught looks great - now i'm actually going to go buy the limbs.

[Hursticon]

If THIS set comes in a G2 flavour, I may very well be swayed - Until such an announcement though, I'm going to be sticking with the other set... whenever that eventually happens. :p

[Lord_Zed]

An amazing improvement on the original, although still not sure if the FOC designs are for me personally.

[Ode to a Grasshopper]

Yeah, I'd be in for a G2 set too.

More pics up on Facebook and on the TFW boards (https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1453442391556304&set=pcb.1453442501556293&type=1&theater). Link is to Facebook.

First release looks to be mass-retail version, though the colour scheme seems to have been toned down a little.

Looks damn good so far.

[kup]

Yeah not bad at all. It actually makes the fruiticus limbs look decent.

[Deonasis]

So beautiful, I weep tears of joy.

[1AZRAEL1]

Looks actually quite good. I don't think I'd buy this version, but would definitely consider G2 or the Takara colour scheme versions.

With lack of news, I thought was dead. Is there any idea of a price point or release date?

[1AZRAEL1]

Found the answer.

BBTS (http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=MBC10000&mode=retail) have him listed for a July release (which will likely be delayed :p) for a price of US$119.99.

Ouch!

[Ode to a Grasshopper]

For what you're getting that's not too bad IMO.

Bring on the G2 version says I!

[Sinnertwin]

Ouch!

Indeed :(

[CBratron]

While it is a great improvement WfC/FoC figures in general don't interest me.

[Jinto]

Wow that is a great looking figure. His shoulders and lower legs really capture the WFC/FOC aesthetic. And the way it alters his Blast-Off arm is pretty impressive.
Price tag makes it a "maybe some day" thing for me though...

Shame. Every time I look at him I like him more.

[kup]

It didn't take much for Hasbro to do this themselves. They are idiots.

[Mythirax]

Want... so bad. *throws money I don't have at screen!*

[Ode to a Grasshopper]

Aww yeah... (https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1455591514674725&set=a.1403595399874337.1073741829.1402978119936065&type=1)free Platinum/SDCC coloured feet upon request if preorders done soon, and Takara, Wreckers, and G2 version announcements to come in June.

Nice move on their part, but the selling point for me is that G2 version.:cool:

Yep, pre-ordered immediately after seeing that. If Microblaze keep up with moves like that, I can see them becoming a very popular 3rd party in the future. Now I just wish it was possible to buy the hands echo designed separately as I don't like how diminutive Microblaze's are.

Also cool to see they have plans to do a Wreckers version. Interested to see how that turns out.

[Hursticon]

Yep! - I'm right with you on the G2 version dude, I'm-a holdout for this bad boy with great anticipation! ;):cool:

[kaiden]

hmm.. i can't decide where to order from, where is everyone else getting theirs?

Peaugh video review of a preview version. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P23PWqJ1beQ)

This thing looks really good.

[1AZRAEL1]

So, it is still happening it seems.

[kaiden]

wow the way onslaught transforms into bruticus is amazingly well done.

yay can finally ship my loot when this comes! :)

wish all the other FOC toys were good :/
