    Default Bruticuseseses

    Here's a challenge for you guys!

    There are currently four Fall of Cybertron Bruticus repaints (as far as I know, and RUINATION DOESN'T COUNT, I said Bruticuseseses...), takara, SDCC, retail and G2. As you probably know they have the scramble feature where you can make a limb be an arm or a leg.

    My question to you guys is, if you own all four of the Bruticuses how many unique Bruticuses can you potentially create using different torsos, different combinations of the four limbs and with the limbs in different positions (scrambled)? It's fun to think about!

    I have the answer so I'm quizzing you guys (I wasn't allowed to post in the rewind section). You will need maths! Also note that the combinations of limbs include all vortexes and all brawls etc. (i.e. 4 vortexes or 4 brawls etc.), basically every combination of 4 taken from the 16 limb Combaticons (limbaticons ) but also with these arranged in different ways... each can be a left arm, right arm, left leg and right leg.

    If no one gets it in a week or so (you can always ask for extra time, tips or maybe clarification) I'll post the answer just FYI.

    Disclaimer: I am not responsible if you take 4 of your gestalts and try and make up all the combinations (you will never finish)

    Currently i have 2 versions, but in a couple weeks i will add the takara version to my shelves. Don't own the sdcc version, and no real desire to fork out the money for it.

    Nope, sorry. It's not very easy so don't feel bad if you don't get it.

    I don't own any lol! I don't think they got any of the colours right for any of the moulds, especially with vortex. I wish they'd just pick some kind of colour scheme to go with e.g. make them look true G1 or true game (at least in robot mode). G2 seems to be true to the G2 colour scheme IF you look at the promotional shots... but in reality you have an onslaught with an all purple head which I didn't like (so I didn't get him in the end, except for my nephew who wont care). If it was all black, even without the red eyes, then it would have been fine. I guess the G2 one was supposed to be the really affordable one which meant you had to do without any fine details... but still. As for retail I completely understand them going with the bright colours to appeal to kids it's just weird when they release other characters like Starscream and Shockwave (actually everyone else...) in more serious tones... VERY PERPLEXING. Also I couldn't stand swindle being so tall and brawl being so short... there was room in the mould to fix this but if you own brawl he takes a lot of plastic so that's probably why he's tiny. When I played the game, however, I realised they reinvented the swindle character so I wasn't bugged by that anymore. But reinventing one of the most iconic characters in transformers... seriously... who doesn't love swindle! "first see if we can trust him, taste one of the energon cubes!"

    Very close but it appears you made a simple error. How many torsos did you include? The question was for four moulds...

    I think it's what makes these figures really special. Also the fact that they were able to keep all the members within a deluxe class size for the robot and vehicle modes (yes onslaught is quite tall but its still pretty good). It's more like what you would have in the G1 cartoons where onslaught was just as tall as the others unlike the toy where he was at least twice as tall as brawl (the tallest limbaticon). Of course it's the way they look in the game as well! So many great things about the G1 Combaticons
