Unite Warriors Bruticus and Blast Off revealed

Just looking through TF Yuki's tweets, and I think this is the pic that was used for Blast Off's colouration:

The brown is a lot more noticeable in this pic than the others. Although the only problem is, the brown on the toy is too light!

That said, the brown in the 'toon pic does look similar to the brown in the combined mode in this pic (although Vortex looks too dark here):

And the brown on the chest looks similar as well to the 'toon here:

We definitely need some in-hand shots!

I think it is because it's too light a shade of brown. Whatever else, Hasbros version did get the colour right.

I'm finding the light blue they are using for Vortex instead of dark green more unsettling than Blast Off. Looks like another set where I'll be making the gestalt out of my least fav versions of each character from the two sets

I remember reading on TFwiki that Bruticus' character model and colours varied over his appearances. I guess that means repaint opportunities.

So we will also have
Zone Bruticus
G2 Bruticus
RID Ruination
RID Camo Ruination
RID Desert Camo Ruination

It could be the most repainted CW combiner of the series :p

Up for preorder at AmiAmi, with clear stock photos, although there is the disclaimer: "Photos are of a completed sample. The actual product may differ."

Good to see clear pics. They've come close to the cartoon colors but not close enough. And even then the show colours aren't what I think I for these guys. Comic or toy colours preferred TBH, like a more silver and green Onslaught. I'd like shuttle Blast Off but will see if Hasbro releases him.

The different coloured feet for Brawl and Swindle also make the scramble possibilities a bit of a colour mismatch.

Bruticus at HLJ as well

The more I see of UW Bruticus, the more tempted I am to get it. This from the person who was so butthurt about Computron I swore to never ever buy Bruticus.

Cool - just placed my order :D

The bot modes look really cool. Vortex doesn't appear dark anymore and looks just right. Mind you I'd kinda like to get both the UW and CW Vortex now, just cause he was one of my childhood favourites.
