Title:
Combaticon Bruticus
Description:
• CMBW10
• Onslaught (Voyager Class, 2016)
• Decepticon Blast Off (Deluxe Class, 2016)
• Decepticon Blast Off (Special Edition, 2018)
• Brawl (Deluxe Class, 2016)
• Swindle (Deluxe Class, 2016)
• Decepticon Vortex (Deluxe Class, 2016)
• Decepticon Shockwave (Legends Class, 2016)
• Known designers: Shogo Hasui (TakaraTomy)
Combiner Wars Bruticus is formed from all five Combaticon figures and Shockwave. Designed in the ”Scramble City” style, all four Deluxe Combaticons can each become either an arm or a leg, and come with double-barrelled guns that can transform into either a foot or a fist to complete the limb. The stock photography shows Blast Off and Vortex as arms and Swindle and Brawl as legs. Shockwave transforms into the combiner robot’s handheld weapon, but his overall weight makes it largely impossible for him to be held by any combiner in a firing pose without falling over or pulling the arm down. Even worse, as Onslaught is retooled from Hot Spot, Bruticus retains Defensor’s forward-lean problem. Unlike Defensor however, the leaning problem can be resolved by turning Bruticus’s thighs inward, forcing the pelvis armor to push against Onslaught’s knees and correcting his posture, although this will force Bruticus into a strange A-legged stance.
A promotional CGI render of the combined mode has Bruticus slightly mistransformed, having Blast Off’s legs facing knees forward in his arm mode, which would leave Bruticus’ left arm without a double elbow. Though difficult, it is possible to arrange Vortex’s rotors in a shield-like position.
Like Defensor before him, all four limbs were released in the same wave, making it much easier to complete a set. He is also the first ”classic” combiner in the Combiner Wars series to not have a ”replacement” member. However Blast Off was relegated to a simple redeco of Quickslinger, leaving him with a different alt-mode (a jet instead of a space shuttle) and an inaccurate head. In 2018 Hasbro released a redeco of the Unite Warriors version of Blast Off (see below) as a more accurate replacement.
