Amazon.com has posted two new pre-order pages for two larger releases. One we had heard about, the other is a surprise.
First off is the G2 inspired repaint of Transformers Fall of Cybertron Bruticus for US $59.99, which you can view by clicking here. Based on the price and the description, this is for a full set of Combaticons.
Product Features and Details:
- Five robots combine into the super warrior Bruticus!
- Weapons combine to form sonic cannon!
- When the five COMBATICONS combine into DECEPTICON BRUTICUS, they become the stuff of nightmares

- Once Bruticus has begun on a path of destruction, no force in the known universe can stop him.
- Product Dimensions: 4 x 12.5 x 12.5 inches
- Shipping Weight: 2 pounds
The next one is pretty interesting, it's labelled as Transformers Optimus Prime Jetwing Movie Deco - Amazon Exclusive, a Hasbro release of TakaraTomy's DOTM Jetwing Optimus Prime.
Product Features and Details:
- Jetwing Optimus Prime: Supreme Class
- Jet Wing can be detached rapidly for diverse battle field situations!

As for Bruticlus, I might go with this one over the SDCC version. It's cheaper, and I love delightfully bad G2 color schemes.

I also think it's cool we Americans will finally have a chance at Jetwing Prime. I'd buy it, but I already have the black version.

Still no Jetwing love for the U.K. then....
Can anyone tell me any major differences between this Optimus and the Leader version, apart from the attachable wings and pea shooters?
He looks very similar.
I wonder what has happened to the G1 redeco of Leader Ironhide?

I was on the fence about Bruticus but that price won me over. I don't even mind the G2 color scheme, especially since the normal release Bruticus looks just as gaudy.

just preordered mine with a nice Discover card discount
way more cost effective than the SDCC version

We desperately need him here, will we get him? No, probably not. Thanks a lot Hasbro.
Compared to the ROTF leader prime: he has a new chest/abdomen sculpt and his arms have been remolded to accommodate his cannons and as a result he looses his retractable blades.

He looks very similar.
He has a retooled abdominal piece, wind shield pieces and has the blades eliminated. The result looks more accurate to the third movie, plus facilitates transformation.

Thanks guys for clearing that one up.

Any time. As a little bonus, Leader Striker Optimus with the MechTech gear uses the same mold, with the gas tanks retooled. If you want just the Leader mold, it's either or, as the Jetpower's wings can't fit on Striker.

No problem. Also, his crotch has a slight retool, so he now has a small 'knob' sticking out (I kid you not).

I ordered Jet_prime, I have the Takara, but for 100$, I'll take another one.
I hope I can still pick up the Brute, for that price. That was a steal, Wish I would have paid more attention.

G2 needs more love. I'm not finding anything on Amazon now so I think this might have been a screw up on their end. Maybe they were supposed to wait until after SDCC? When it's available again, I'm getting one!
Posted by RAcast on July 6th, 2012 @ 11:37am CDT
G2 Bruticus shall ride again!
Seriously though, I grew up with G2 and from the time this was first announced I've been pumped for it! My favorite Swindle ever needs a buddy! Swindle forever!

Would love to get Jetwing Prime, but I'll skip it. Not a huge movie fan - just like the guns.
Let's see how SDCC shapes up. Zomblejumper first; Bruticus second.

I mean seriously- look at this figure. It's a punchline to a bad joke.
"Hey! Let's throw flames on Optimus, turn Jetfire into an unrecognizable geriatric pile of shit with a Scottish brogue armed with a sheleighleigh- and turn his ass into a backpack! Why? because, F@#K you!"
"But sir, we need more military style weaponry! How's about we slap not one, BUT TWO! mini-guns on Optimus!"
"Brilliant! Promote this man!"
...and this is pretty much what I've come to expect from anything having to do with the Transformers as envisioned by Bay.

You realize this is the DOTM Jetwing aka Jet Pack Prime right?
Has nothing to with Jetfire.

haha- You're right. At first glance I thought it was the Jetfire/Optimus combo. I went into a caffeine fueled,beast mode of Bay hate. Still my original opinion stands. It's garbage and has no place on my shelf.

If that's the case, next time just be cool. Reread everything you write before hitting Submit because at first I thought you were being a troll. If it's not for you, that's cool but there's no need to go ape on it.
And if no one's said it yet, welcome to the site.

As for the FOC Bruticus, I am planning to get the regular set too, but this was too good a deal to pass up. Even without actual photos. We all know what each figure looks like by now and as for G2 colors we all know those too.
Hasbro has really been surprising me recently with what seems to be a little more fan and collector focus this year. Please keep it up.

I did that with unicron and still wasn't quick enough! Then it seems like some of those who got their pre order turn around and scalp it.
I agree with you on the fact that Amazon exclusives sell out fast. It's because so many people have accounts with them and so many people shop on Amazon.
When Unicron came out it was mayhem to say the least. I can't remember exactly, but it sold out several times, and I don't remember it even being offered for per-order either.
I did finally get him the morning of the 2nd day of his release, and he finally sold out that day.
I got lucky this morning as I check the TF news and forums each morning before I get ready for work. When I saw the post, i knew it was going to go fast, so i jumped on it. Seems most of the good news happens in the morning or late in the evening.
I hope you get yours man. I can't stand the scalpers either, but everyone these days is trying to make a buck anyway they can. It's the darker side of our hobby. Demand = Scalpers.

Funny thing that the origin of the G2 bruticus picture states "On shelf OCT 2012"... So, is this an Asian exclusive, and distributed in the US only through Amazon?

Nice! I totally forgot we had seen this sets pics before. Looks great. Thanks for reminding me we had an actual pic.

EDIT: Searching "G2 Bruticus" gets no hits and "Transformers Bruticus" has everything but this thing. Seriously, an Urban Fiction book and Predaking come up but not this FoC Bruticus!
Posted by STINGRAY749 on July 7th, 2012 @ 12:25pm CDT
I hope bruticus comes back up soon, I don't want the regular version and the sdcc is to much. Plus the g2 has g2 con symbols.

I've been wanting JW Prime for a very long time, but the $200.00 and up price tag was always a bit daunting. I set up my pre-order on the night this posting came out since $104.00 with free shipping is MUCH easier on the pocketbook. Once again I'm glad I waited!
I wonder when it will actually be ready to ship?
