So is the 3 headed one Scourge? It looks like Scourge from Cybertron, but he wasn't a Predacon...

The original toy was Scourge from Cybertron, but this Universe recolour is apparently being called Bruticus, which was a deluxe sized toy (cerberos dog) packaged and released during the 2001 series 'Robots in Disguise', but as I just posted above, it was a toy meant for Beast Machines, and as such should be a Vehicon, but could still be classed as a Predacon, due to it being in the 'Beast Era', and being more markettable that way in the 25th Anniversary sub-line.

so when are these coming out?

Well technically if had been a Beast Machines figure, Bruticus would have been a Maximal given the anti-organic nature of BW Megatron's Vehicons. He does fit better with RID Megatron's "Predacon" forces.


And I agree some more homages to the Terrorcons would be nice.

That is true. Although, there was a bit of a mythical beast theme appearing at the end of Beast Machines, and as much as the Maximals had the animal theme, a cerberos dog doesn't sound too friendly, or Maximal. Since it was written up as Megatron's guard dog, it would have been a mere pet to him. An insignificant animal. But it would be odd for someone like Megatron who loathed anything organic or animalistic to have something like Bruticus by choice.
I was maybe thinking that it could have been a left over of the Transmetal 2's to go with Dragon Megatron as a Mythical Beast. That series of toys appeared to be wrapped up rather quickly, with only 17 (!) toys released in that year of toys.
Amazing isn't it, that 9 years ago, we had less than a 10th of the toys released that we do now each year. Would have made for a great time to catch up on older figures...

The Maximals had Battle Unicorn, and unicorns are evil in the world of Transformers...



*shudder* very evil!

Maybe if the Bruticus toy had been a Maximal in Beast Machines he would have had a name like Fluffy? (Who told you about Fluffy?)
