Car Robots Baldigus Galleries Online Now!

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.

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.

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

Once you are done checking out the latest galleries do not forget to check out the rest of Seibertron.com's Toy Galleries.

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.

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

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

I see. Good decision. I tend to wait to have my work completed before posting but if I were to do a work as massive as this one, I would do it on phases, too. Besides, imagine the nighmare of having to set up the figures on the exact same position over and over, and over again.

Really? Same here! Guess we have the same obsession (as if that is not evident enough). In my case I foind them in the oddest of places like on the streets. I once dreamt about a toy commercial with a character that looked like the SDF-1 from Robotech (of all animes). That gave birth to a character of my creation! ^^

What line is the urban camo (gray black and white) one from? I never saw that one. I like that one the most.

2. G1 Battle Gaia (A Japanese exclusive repaint during late G1)

3. G2 Bruticus

4. Car Robots Baldigus

5. Robots in Disguise Ruination

6. Robots in Disguise Arctic Camo redeco

7. Universe Ruination (Desert Camo).

8. Knockoff Baldigus with Destron logos changed into stars inside circles.

9. Micromaster remake of #8

10. Giant sized G1 remake.

11. Giant sied G2 remake.

12. Fire truck knockoff, where Onslaught is redone as a red fire truck, and has new limbs, but it's still bruticus.

13. same as 12, but construction vehicles (Onslaught is a dump truck) (see attached picture for boxed set)

Any other major variations?

Those are some interesting knock offs there! Well done!
