Damn those combiners all look good together...

I wrote a review yesterday of the new Bruticus and it got deleted along with most posts from the 5th and I can't be bothered rewriting it so I'll just say:

*Bruticus Good
*Shockwave weigh down arm too much
*Recommended

Looks awesome! But I've decided I'll use Viper as the gun instead of Shockwave. Seems a better fit IMO.

I've got all the ones to make Optimus Maximus too but I can never be bothered.

Waiting for the Sky Lynx wave to show up so I can do some group shots of the entire line

Me like them with new boots and hands too!

I don't usually buy the upgrade kids, though they have made some very good ones for the CW Gestalts. The only one I've ordered is the one for Menasor - his legs and waist just look too horrible and need that extra something. I'm fairly happy with the appearance of the other Gestalts - well happy enough to not buy the upgrade kits for now anyway

If they brought out some kinda upgrade so that Powerglide and Shockwave could be held by the Gestalts without weighing their arms down - now I'd buy that in a second!

Tsk tsk... no contaminating the boards with that unlicensed stuff.

I stole the black PE hands and feet from superior for my bruticus, while I will end up getting the grey eventually my bruticus either tends to lean forward a little bit or back too much with his leg ratchets and the feet help correct his posture a bit. Plus he looks more intimidating when he is taller.

IMO there's a big difference between add-on kits that work with and enhance official product, and third party toys that basically just steal designs. But that's always been my take on it, and there is a question of where do you draw the line. On the other hand, wherever you draw it, new hands and feet for CW figures pretty definitively falls on the acceptable side, wouldn't you say?

I was only being half serious.

If it was a problem I would have moved it.

My CW & UW Stunticons, Constructicons & Aerialbots, my CW Protectobots, Combaticons, and one lonley Technobot

Only (at this stage) have UW Defensor still to get! Of course after that there could be a Computron and UW Bruticus so who knows where it will end wink emoticon
