Gee... even this old dog learns something new.
I did a a search on google images for Bruticus (to help offer an answer), and I was seeing a lot of recent images of Gen1 Bruticus with Brawl having the tank turret at the back (it was always at the front during Gen1, with the toy photos, cartoon and comic). And now I see why... the artwork on the original boxset and the reissue box always had Brawl backwards.
I never noticed that, and thanks to the recent reissue boxset having Bruticus artwork on the front (which Gen1 Combaticons never did in Western countries), we only ever saw Bruticus as a toy photo... not the artwork with Brawl backwards.
I had a look on the tfu.info website, but even they have their toy photo with Brawl backwards.
So I guess it is an official toy-accurate version if the box-art depicts it... even if it may well just be the error of a single artist 20 years ago.
Basically, it is up to you, how you want it to look on your shelf. If you want a Toy/Comic/Cartoon-accurate appearance, refer to this picture, from this page with lots of other pics.
Oh, and point Brawl's barrel upwards, like a spiked kneecap.
Also note the other way of having Onslaughts arms. Pointing them out the back will give him a sleeker abdomen, similar to how he appears in comics and cartoons, BUT, those arms can sometimes be unstable (especially if the toy is old and loose)... so often people will have the arms by the sides so that they lock in with the legs.
Again, it can end up being a choice of the collector.
Cheers Griffin. That arm backward trick solved the chest plate not sticking on (i've been doing wrong for years, again:p) I did think the trio was looking mighty blocky..
I always had the turret at the back or the same way round as swindle, it wasn't until i saw some more recent artwork that i swapped it around. It does make the foot sit quite forward though, looks like he's walking..... mental note :turrets up:)
Congrats on g2 bruticus Grock, I'm still looking for onslaughts yellow chest plate for my g2 set coz I got em piecemeal hehehe
Met up yesterday with ispayks at Westfield parra and got my TF prime Dreadwind :):), he even threw in an accessory kit for a drill effect for my giant figure. Sweet! I'll post pics later
received this from Hong Kong today via the postie....:D:D

Great figure! I don't know what's going on over at BBTS (who I generally order everything from) but they don't even have this as a preorder yet although they say they are getting rumble and Ironhide as wave5 AND have beening pushing back my preorder for wave4 for a couple of months now. They may be losing my business soon, which I would hope they'd care about as I have a LOT of preorders there. Rant complete. Back to that Kup. I'm jelly after checking out the gallery of him!Quote:

Not sure about the silver guns. But the big black one is Jetfires.
The black gun looks more from Macross than Jetfire's
No idea as well what those silver guns are , but try if the fit in any figues hands.... then it's theirs hehehehe
Just posting the pic ofmy Dreadwing Acquisition mentioned in my earlier post (#9)

http://i205.photobucket.com/albums/b...s/DSC02129.jpg
Whe-whe-where did you find Dreadwing?! :eek:
My acquisitions for today:
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y22...n_20120903.jpg
It's from OTCA member ispayks sale thread. I see youve got your loot from Tiger Convoy now, heh. Couldn't wait can't you LOL.:D
Those silver guns, I have them. Ah can't think what they are from... Brain hurts. Will go for a search tomorrow through my collection.
EDIT: just realised they are gold, they look very similar to something I have though.
Are those guns from one of the autobot cassettes eject or rewind?
:D That and with the box at that size, I wouldn't have really saved much (if any) money on waiting any longer and having the toys sent with the other stuff later. I said that he could send it via EMS if it wasn't going to be much more expensive that SAL, but if it was going to be substantially more expensive, the go with surface. He sent it via EMS (posted on Sunday, arrived today!). So yeah... with Japan post you reach a certain point with package sizes where the law of diminishing returns kicks in and you're not really saving much more money by increasing the size of the box to massive sizes. So I'm glad I got him to send this batch of toys earlier -- the wait was killing me and, as I'd suspected, I wasn't going to really make any further savings on postage anyway. ;)Quote:

Good news that cards are in pretty good shape
Bad new: not one complete set in the lot, heck nothing in the initial 50 (of 100)
So I got trades...
Very happy surprise in the mail today:
Botcon 2012 Spinister + Botcon 2012 Octopunch (both via a scalper @ cost, rather than FunPub :)), and the assorted jibberish that came with that set
Also:
Regeneration One #83 Cover A
Robots in Disguise #9 Cover B
There are some people here (including me!) trying to complete their set. Check out the thread here.Quote:
