Robots In Disguise Ruination Galleries Online Now!

I always liked the Takara's Car Robot verison over the RID because of the simple fact of the upside down Generation 2 Autobot symbol on the figures. I remember buying them from Bigbadtoystre and it had the 15yr Anniversary sticker on them...

I had no idea that these molds were reissued so many times. How come these molds are still good but others arent? Im glad they use it so many times. If they didnt i wouldnt have the combaticons. These are some of my favortite Transformers.

Yep, I also love the upside down G2 logo.

Though I always wondered why Hasbro decided to change the colors for the US release. I thought the Car Robots paint scheme looked great

I would love to see a pic of the blue RID Armorhide replaced with the desert camo version on RID Ruination, with gold combiner parts, and a comparison shot with the Car Robots release of the figure.

This is a glorious day.... for me at least! XD Bruticus is one of my top favorite G1 combiners and having him repainted so much is so cool I don't mind the excessive clones of him there are! ^^

Colors are quite good this time as they match the image I have in my mind of how military vehicles should look. Though I am not completely sure about Vort... I mean, Ro-Tor (KILL the guy that came up with such names! >_<).

Pic Number three (http://seibertron.com/toys/fullsize.php ... =2&image=3) is what impresses me. Such a massive display of brutality about to be unleashed! I just LOVE it! ^^ BTW, which version is that on the far left? I love that camo sceheme and how ALL units have it. The "tiger/camo" scehem on the far right is also awesome!

I have to say that I can't wait to see the g2 combaticons. I wonder if the missile fires or if it is like amercian version where they remove the spring.

Good stuff Ryan.

This is one of the few occasions when I like the new name over the origional. Personaly, I think the Name Ruination would be better suited for the Constructicons, but renaming Devistaror is pretty much sacrelig.

another awesome gallery. I thank you and I want him so much now

I still remember seeing these guys in walmart and buying them all up at once since i only had vortex of the g1 group

COME-BACKICONS!!!

Mold updates, that's why. I recognise these two mold updates:

G1 - G2: a hole was added on Onslaught's missile launcher unit for the missile gun to be attached. That hole still remains in the following update.
G2 - Car Robots: holes were added to the smaller member's gun so they can form larger guns for Baldigus / Ruination to use.

When updated, the mold is recreated. That's why

It fires. Those oddly-colored springloaded guns were not in the original, and admit it, it would be kind of silly if you had a missile-firing gun added to the mix that doesn't actually fire
Besides, Toy Safety Laws had been updated by the time G2 hit. Instead of having missiles not fire, the minimum length for projectiles was established: 2 inches.

Back in the G2 days the missles fired in the U.S. also.

I'm glad to see you guys are enjoying these galleries. The Bruticus galleries have been an immense amount of work. It took me 4 or 5 different photoshoot days over the course of 6 months to complete the photography for their galleries ... there's a total of 36 plus the G1/G2 Superion molds and Universe Superion (as well as Rail Racer). That's a total of 62 galleries.

I'll probably launch a set per day and end these gallery updates with G1 Superion and Bruticus. I'll post the Baldigus gallery today because I've got most of those photos cropped already. I'll post G2 Superion and G2 Bruticus over the next 2 days and then I'll work on Arctic Camo Ruination and Urban Camo Ruination next when I have a chance to do more of the cropping on the bus on my way to and from work (that's when I do most of the cropping now so that I can use my time at home actually taking photos).

Looking forward to those galleries

i never actually realised it was an updated mold each time. I thought they used the same one

To be honest, I never was a fan of the upside down G2 Autobot logo. It just seemed like a cheap shortcut on Takara's part and really didn't look all that good to me.

Yesterday Seibertron brought us galleries of the evil Decepticon combiner from Robots In Disguise, Ruination. Ruination is a repaint of the Japanese Car Robot's Baldigus. Now Seibertron has posted an awsome 107 image gallery of Baldigus. He has also posted the galleries for the Decepticons who form Baldigus. View the galleries for:

Dolrailer
Heptor
Dangar
Shuttler
Greenjeeper

I was gonna say ? to the name, but the picture set me straight.

I'm just wondering, when you create these galleries, does the repetativness of repaints ever get you distraught?

Why couldnt Hasbro have made octane like that?

YOu know, the only thing that ever bothered me about the differences between the US & Japanese versions of this guy is the fact that in the US they made them all decepticons & changed faction symbols & such, yet the cartoon was unedited in such a way, & therefore every pic of the Decepticons they have in the cartoon has the Japanese Renegade symbols.

That & Ruination's chestplate should have had a decepticon insignia where Baldigus has his at.

Im glad i have Ruination over this guy. hate that mustard yellow color

how much money do you think that one set of toy molds has made for has-tak

I never knew there was that much of a difference between this guy and his RID counterpart. Another great galley!

This is one I wish I had got but I went with the american version ruination I do love him but I like the color scheme on this version better.

That didn't took long. I am eagerly waiting for the G1 Combaticons galleries. I wonder if you would end up having nightmares about Combaticons or seeing them everywhere after this mission is done. XD

Usually not ... with the Combaticon molds it was very trying because of how many figures there were altogether. It feels good to be almost done with this set of figures at last.

metalformer wrote:That didn't took long.

I've got all of the photos taken and over 1/2 of them cropped and ready for the site. G2 Bruticus will be posted tomorrow.

Oddly enough, I rarely have dreams with Transformers in them. If anything, it's usually a dream of me finding old G1 figures at a store. But it's a rarity.

Roboto750 wrote:I never knew there was that much of a difference between this guy and his RID counterpart. Another great galley!

I didn't either. I was looking at tfu.info last November to see if Armorhide was the only one with a major difference and then I noticed that almost all of them except Movor/Shuttler are noticeably different. Once I realized how different the Japanese version was, I decided to get the entire set to go along with the other Bruticus/Ruination galleries. Wish I had Battle Gaia to go with all of these galleries right now but I don't at this time unfortunately.

i thought armour hide wasn't blue

is he bald or is that just the name?

LOL!

I never realized how many times this set was released. They all look amazing though. That picture of all six standing next to eachother sent shivers down my spine.

That's cool, I was just wondering if coming up with constant pose variations for what is esentialy the same thing every becomes trying.

I give you credit, even in repaint situations, you poses don't repeat:)

I'm sure you guys can imagine how long it took for me to setup that shot. Ugh. It was a lot of work but they're done at last. I think that's the larget group of repaints that there are so I won't be needing to do that much work again.

I love that picture as well. It turned out pretty good.

I generally try to really focus on making the poses different for repaints just to show off some other functionality of the toy itself for people who take the time to look at both galleries. It was tough to be original for these guys because I had 6 of each mold and they aren't really poseable figures so the only thing I could really do with these guys are changing up the camera angles. Some of them were tough to get ... especially the Blast Off mold because he's a bright white color. White figures on a white background don't go so well together.

First Seibertron brought us galleries of Robots In Disguise, Ruination. Then he brought us galleries of Car Robot's Baldigus. Now Seibertron has posted an awsome 97 image gallery of G2 Bruticus. He has also posted the galleries for the Decepticons who form G2 Bruticus. View the galleries for:

Onslaught
Swindle
Blast Off
Vortex
Brawl

Question: Why would a space shuttle need camoflage? These galleries are great.

I actually love G2 Bruticus - why ? - i have a weakness for these neon colors, and then the fansy green projectile ^^

G2 Bruticus looks better than I remembered.

Still think the urban camo (or is it artic camo?) repaint was the best... They're cool and everything but holy geez these molds were overused.

Your gonna push out every variant today, huh?

Thats cool though, after the group shot in the last gallery, I'm intrested to see the G2 color scheme close up.

Thanks Man!

Nope ... I'll post the G2 Aerialbots later today but that'll be it until tomorrow. Gotta give all of these guys some time on the homepage.

Working on the Dinobot galleries right now.

SQUEE!

I merged all of the topics about these molds into one topic since all of the posts are relevant together.

They need to update more molds.

I love how Hasbro found all these stores to carry all these same G1 molds and sets, but nobody wants the Universe Seacon repaints...

I would gladly give up one of these repainted sets to have the Seacons finally come out.

As my signature says, this is the "big bad battlin' Bruticus!"

lol how many of these guys (excluding KO) were there

edit: actually... including the KOs
