I had always intended to go back and get the Energon/Superlink versions of the two combiner molds, so I was thrilled with the Universe Bruticus release, not only because it was cheaper than buying the older version, but because I felt the colors were superior than the older version, and they shine even more so with this accessory.

As to Superion though, I do prefer the old version as I'm not really into the baby pink and blue used with the Universe version.

Back on topic, one thing I have to add about this figure is that the new feet and wider shoulders make it quite huge in comparison to the accessory-less version and Superion (with or without accessories). It's truly menacing and I love it.
