Impactor is looking quite good actually and I look forward to having him join the ranks of my Neo-Classics The Wreckers soon...!
Whirl, unfortunately, doesnt look too good.
I wonder if the head from this Whirl would fit onto DotM Skyhammer?

I would say way too small, it looks a bit too small for this (small) deluxe figure so wouldn't suit a voyager. The Headrobots head is probably a bit bigger and that's tiny.

Apparently the Vortex's mold neck balljoint is way smaller than Skyhammer's. Consider that is also smaller than that of the HFTD Tomahawk mode.

Who's gonna tell him? I sure won't...
Count me in for all of them

Drill Tank!
Accuracy notwithstanding, I think this set is my favorite color-wise. Not too bright, not too drab.
And it comes with twice the weapons as the Combaticons! Well, not quite double, but still a lot more weapons.
And they added an extra port to Topspin!
If the molds weren't... what they are, I'd think about getting these.

You'd have better luck with Energon Shockblast's head attached to DotM Skyhammer if that's the look you're going for. Cheetimus Primal made a custom with that very design:
Unfortunately, to my knowledge, he only ever made the one.
I was planning on getting Impactor and Roadbuster only, but these guys look really good in their combined mode, possibly even better than Bruticus. I guess I'll make up my mind for good when I see them at retail.

I expect that Emirate Xaaron head getting removed and popped onto a Voyager, perhaps one of the Vector Prime figures with an appropriate colour scheme?
It would be nice to have an Emirate Xaaron figure, something relatively basic in transformation design which turns into a Cybertronian tank of sorts?

Really do quite like Impactor, Whirl looks nice, despite the orange. The other ones are all only okay looking, and I don't think they're enough like the characters they're named after to count in my classics line up, but I've not managed to get Bruticus so this repaint with a pretty cool gestalt head will do nicely.

If they had reversed Impactor's colors, that would have been super awesome.
Roadbuster's looking strong. Wish he had a little more orange, but I can deal with that.
Topspin needs more gray-blue.
I agree with everyone on Whirl; he isn't the best of the group. Needs more blue, like Topspin and Twintwist.
One thing's for sure: I won't have Twintwist as an arm. That specific mold is better off as a leg than an arm.

Crappy molds aside, I definitely think this looks better as "Ruination" than Bruticus. Might debate picking up an extra Impactor for a second Wreckers shelf, but that depends on when and if I can find him.

They look a bit too bright especially the torso dude and are an easy pass for me as I try not to buy multiple "versions" of a mould unless I see something ridiculously cheap. However I hope somebody posts the 'structions so I can see the official version of the limb transforms, I did have one which made Bruticus way taller but made him sway a liitle bit too much for comfort. I likes the more weapons though so who knows?

It's either intentional, or a very happy accident that just screamed for an opportunity:
Green jeep: Rollbar/Greejeber and Roadbuster
Blue copter: Ro-Tor/Hepter and Whirl
Blue tank: RiD Armorhide and Twintwist
White spaceship: Movor/Shuttler and Topspin
Impactor is mainly yellow-orange, that can be found on the other members, and orange was one of Ruination's unifying colors.
