New Gallery: Combiner Wars Bruticus!

Well I was afraid they'd have Bruticus' codpiece just hanging like that. But I guess there was no way to peg it in and still have the hips poseable. I wish the head was fully grey like in G1, but still - this is a "must-have"....

But why couldn't they give the hands/feet/chest piece that silvery sheen, like they did with the wave4 figures? May have to swap them out

cant wait to see the TT version

So nice for them to release the Combaticons with normal colors at mass retail, unlike last time...

I'm gonna give an opinion here: Bruticus is the best regular sized combiner we have gotten from this line overall.

Here me out, this is why:

1) The Firetruck torso is the best since it gives very beefy legs and proper proportions, plus a good broad chest. Superion has skinny thighs that are good with me but are still a wee bit too small but still good proportions overall. truck mold has weird thighs and proportions.

2) Balance of limbs: Superion has a great set of limbs that make his combined mode look amazing and sleek, as he should be. Truck mold has weird shoulders that don't flatter the arms and the legs are just too long. firetruck mold has proper thick and shorter thighs that when the legs are added work out. And the Legs on Bruticus are nick and thick, and while they do not provide knee pads the combiner does not have robot mode feet to hide and the legs dont have lots of kibble on the lower legs that make it look strange (like breakdown).

3) arms: Superion would win this category with his twin jet arms. Defensor would lose this since he has a skinny and bulky arm, and the hands look strange on the car molds for arms and much better on the planes. Bruticus has planes for both arms, giving him sleeker arms that match the hands better.

Overall, Bruticus wins because he has excellent proportions, lack of kibble, solid legs, sleek arms that match the hands, bulk, beef and yet he can be sleek where he needs to. and he does not have any robot mode feet obtrusively sticking out that need hid. Superion would win if his thighs were a bit thicker and the back kibble was slightly better. Any combiner with the truck mold would need a whole new torso. Defensor would win if it weren't for Blades compared to the rest and the large torso robot mode feet (which kills victorion since she cannot hide those), and Sky Reign I cannot judge yet, but I still feel Bruticus is the best overall

I agree, but - unless there is some catastrophic engineering flaw in sky lynx a'la brawl - Sky Reign is my hands down winner because: Angry Egyptian God Combiner; of course any repaint we get would immediately supersede Sky Reign, but I doubt we'll be seeing one of those

It's like I said: gotta wait for him before I can rank him next to Bruticus, but of the 5 and all the repaints of ones to come, he is the best to me

While we await the new galleries dedicated to the Combiner Wars Combaticons, our first gallery post Bruticus focuses on Legends Class Shockwave. Shockwave is a brand new mold that can be held by any Combiner Wars Combiner as a laser gun but is meant to go with Bruticus to recreate the G1 episode "The Revenge of Bruticus". Shockwave can also attach to Onslaught in vehicle mode as well. Click on any of the images below to see the full gallery and stayed tuned for Onslaught's gallery coming next.

Generations Combiner Wars Shockwave

Love this little guy so much

He might be one of the few perfect figures ever, along with cosmos (I guess, haven't got one, but heard good things), and Blackjack; huh, they're all legends class...

Would definitely get another one if a repaint ever gets released individually

I can tell you the legends Cosmos was the best that there ever has been. He is a great figure and I love him to death

Well the legit rumors (thus far) for next year have a remold for cosmos slated for release, definitely gonna get him (plus he's a I think)

Can't wait to get Shocky.

The only thing I don't like about the mold are those rockets on the back of the gun. They look fine in gun mode, but in robot mode it looks like he has guns on each arm, plus his other gun arm which altogether looks a little off.

Still a great looking figure.

Those pics got me thinking, has anyone tried to get their combiner to hold legends Megatron?

Wow, this looks great!

Having gotten mine over the weekend, I can say that he's even better to have than to look at

If they could have added waist rotation, he'd be flawless...

Continuing the galleries for Hasbro's Transformers Combiner Wars Bruticus wave, we now have Voyager Class Onslaught, the Combaticons leader. This toy is a retool and redeco of Combiner Wars Hotpot but with the alt mode ingeniously being reversed where the front is now the back and the back is now the front. We also have a video review up showcasing him and his ability to form Bruticus.

This wave is appearing at retail in North America so here is your chance to get a good look at the toy if you are wondering if he is worth the pick up. If ever you spot him in your neck of the woods, be sure to tell your fellow Seibertronians in the sightings section.


Generations Combiner Wars Onslaught

Onslaught = awesome. There's something about the head NOT having those silly robot lips that just makes the figure look cooler. If only they had given Blastoff a proper G1 style face mask as well. Those flat gray parts are just begging for some silver paint...

It's hard to tell, but is the Olive Green paint on Onslaught exactly the same as the paint on Brawl? You don't see matched paint like that on separate figures too often.

Once again, this is a great looking team. Cannot wait to get this guy

So excited to finally get Onslaught! He looks great, and mine just shipped out from BBTS this morning. Should be here by the end of the week.

So excited to see this team! Bruticus was the only G1 (and G2) combiner I had complete as a kid.

Aw, you're makin' me jealous - I have them on pre-order at BBTS as well, but I haven't gotten an alert saying mine are available. I guess they have their own system there as well...

I'll be visiting the parents for Christmas, and was wondering whether digging through the attic for my G1 Onslaught's rifle would even be worth the effort.

Yes. Yes, it is.

I assume they've gotten a small stock in and I just happened to order him early enough to be part of it. That's what happened with my other Combaticons.

Anyone who's had the misfortune to read me whine and complain about the glut of repaints/retools lately knows my stance on the matter. But dangit if this bot is not a prime exhibit of the most simple yet effective retooling. For an armored anti-aircraft vehicle, I'm convinced. Well done. Nice lookin bot too!

Just looking at them gives me the goose pimples on what the TT version will look like

I just hope he wont be TT exclusive. There isnt any rhyme or reason to it anymore. Its been 3 UW figures that are for everyone, and 3 Exclusives. Some had new stuff Hasbro didnt have and others not. So its a toss up.

Bruticus deserves a mass release TT wise. Really praying with two fingers crossed.

But you know, you get hit less if he is since you can just go to robot kingdom and not have to pay the outrageous shipping fees America would have to pay, right?

Onslaught doesn't look that bad.

fenrir72 wrote:Just looking at them gives me the goose pimples on what the TT version will look like

Looks like you are going to have to wait on that. By the pace Takara is going, the Combaticons will most likely be released sometime in the middle of next year. My guess is Takara will detail these figures to look exactly like their G1 brethren, and possibly make Ruination repaints.

In the last couple of days, Seibertron.com has brought you the Brutiful galleries for Transformers Generations Combiner Wars Onslaught, plus the Legends but logically G1-esque Shockwave. We even showed you the video of all of them, including the rest of the Combaticon team, united and combined. Now, for your viewing pleasure, we offer the full gallery experience for each of the remaining team members: Blast Off the jet-not-shuttle, evil Alpha Bravo Vortex, new dudicus Brawl, and Swindle. Such a good deal!

To view each gallery simply click on any of the images below, and refresh the combiner memory by checking out the full gestalt here. SWINDLE LIVES.

You wrote "the rest of the Stunticon team" instead of "the rest of the Combaticon team," just to let you know.

Good galleries, though! my Onslaught gets here tomorrow, I can't wait to finally have Bruticus! How was your Brawl's torso, by the way? Did it hold well or did you have problems with looseness?

Thanks for the compliment, Autobot Roadburn!

As for Brawl, his waist didn't bother me anywhere near as much as his very short forearms which made it impossible for his elbow to bend when holding the larger combiner appendage as a weapon.

Neat work as always Ryan!

Only one thing; could we see some pictures of Bruticus with Brawl and Swindle as arms?

The waist on my Brawl seems to hold firm enough so I made my peace with it.

However, at this point, there is just no excuse for a tank turret that can't turn. The very first Brawl had one. This is just lame.

I'm so hoping Takara will give us this new Shockwave. So much more they can improve on I can totally see it!

If any of you are thinking of double dipping on Combiner Wars Superion with the G2 version, Seibertron now has a full gallery ready of all six individual members and the combined form in this glorious deco.

Please rest assured that this G2 Slingshot won't break like the old one did. For those who don't know, the original G2 Slingshot suffered from heavy breakage with minimal wear due to the fragile gold tinted plastic he was made of, referred to as Gold Plastic Syndrome (GPS). That is why you will find no video review of the original G2 slingshot being transformed. Actually, I take that back because Seibertron has something special for you all. Below you will find an actual clip of Seibertron himself transforming G2 Slingshot without it crumbling to dust (which I believe was one of Hercule's 12 labours). Having this nice whole Slingshot also lets us bring you some full comparison pics between the new Combiner Wars G2 Superion and the original G2 Superion, something else you probably won't ever come across. You can get to the galleries of any character by clicking the pictures where you will also find comparison pictures to the original G2 version of every character (yes, even G2 Slingshot). If any of you are curious, Seibertron even has full galleries of the original G2 toys.


Generations Combiner Wars Superion














Generations Combiner Wars Silverbolt








Generations Combiner Wars Quickslinger








Generations Combiner Wars Air Raid








Generations Combiner Wars Skydive








Generations Combiner Wars Firefly








Generations Combiner Wars Powerglide







And here is Seibertron transforming the original G2 Slingshot without it falling apart.

I really like the blue had/foot/guns, especially when scrambling with the other combiners. Another option for them to have mis-matched "socks" like all the cool teens wear nowadays.

Man what a gorgeous looking set love the colors.

Combiner wars continues to be great with possibility I don't understand the complaints

When I eventually atart buying Combiner wars I'm going to re-purpose G2 Superion into a new team to go alongside the normal Aerialbots they will be named after the Air Tean from Energon.



G2 Silverbolt will be Storm Jet

G2 Airraid will be Treadshot

G2 Skydive will be Terradive

G2 Fireflight will be Windrazor

G2 Slingshot will be Skyshadow

G2 Powerlgide will be Overcast



And the six of them will combine into INFERION!

Question: Will Scattershot and the G2 Stunticons be getting any gallery pics?


I know Scattorshot has a somewhat poor reputation due to not being fateful enough to the Technobots but I'm curious to see what he and his Betatron form looks like in a proper gallery.

Poor Powerglide, no G2 figure to compare him to...

Scattershot is high on my list along with the small handful of other legends that I need to do. I was going to try to do him when I did unite warriors superion and go superion this week but decided against it for now.

The G2 colors are wickedly awesome and I enjoy the look! not something I will buy but definitely a nice pickup

If you have Scattorshot how are the plastic colors on him I'm worried Scattorshot might end up looking or feeling like a bad knockoff.

I remember browsing your Bruticus gallery and being a little disappointed that you didn't do any photo's of the alternate scheme (aka brawl and swindle as arms, etc.) is this something you could try doing for him, or others?

Like not a lot of photo's, but maybe a couple at the end...

Man this set looks wicked! I love this.

I know this will be sacrilege to some, but for those of you that are fans of Alpha Bravo, it seems like all your would need is to apply a couple Autobot symbol stickers to Vortex and viola, G2 Alpha Bravo.
