Both Swindle and Brawl look a little off (the arms in particular on both are weird), but that's a good thing if it means they've made sacrifices for the sake of the combined mode. Added to that is the fact that these are fantasy vehicles rather than real-world vehicles, and it becomes much more reasonable that Hasbro may knock this one out of the park.

I don't see how a FOC Bruticus makes the FP Bruticus redundant in any way, no more than FOC Jazz would replace Classics Jazz. I honestly did not see this coming however, I didn't expect any more proper combiners from them in a long while, certainly not one associated with a game rather than a show. Having said that, Bruticus is an important character in the game, and apparently you do get to control him at one point, so that might help make sales with the kiddies.

What I'm really interested to learn is whether this is sold individually or as a set. Certainly if it's sold individually online ordering will be the safest bet.
