I guess the question was, "So what if the second Death Note opening was done by Hillbillies?"
Ahem. *points at the thread title*
Those are not your Transformers.

SCYTHE BUDDIES!
Jesus! I knew crane was TALL, but; damn boy!
Or is Amalgamous just short?
He's taller than micronus. So crane is TALL.
Edit: hey, while we're at it: what would a cybertronian even develop a scythe FOR? They don't grow crops, or need to clear land.

Cyber corn?
They need to clear the land of their enemies.
Well, his name is "Crane", after all.
Amalgamous's weapon looks more like a pickaxe to me.
He is a Prime and he's digging a hole, diggy diggy hole, diggy diggy hole.
He is a Prime and he's digging a hole, diggy diggy hole, diggy diggy hole.
Maybe he's the Prime of Minecraft.
Is this better?
Or are you going to cry about how no one can own the Tennessee sky?

Brawl’s the quintessential tankformer. No surpise he turns into a tank. He has the little wheels for rolling and the turret rotate and elevates so he’s already aced the altmode articulation. He’s a nice shade military green and thankfully less brown than the CW version. He comes with two larger cannons to attach at the rear of the tank for some added firepower. They’re alright, if a bit annoying due to using a non-standard tab and port system to attach and the barrel ends not being blast effect compatible. His robot mode gun can mount either on a 5mm port or a dedicated slot on the turret.
Transformation is the usual Brawl fare with the unique point being how the treads origami into place. He’s a nicely chunky toy with good proportions, although his head sits a bit low. Despite being Voyager in price, Brawl’s not all that bigger than the other Combaticons but is notably bulkier and denser. Standard articulation suite is present with the only real omission being the wrists. A notable point of unique articulation is butterfly shoulders due to the transformation joints. You can engage the Bruticus ankle as a side bend if you don’t mind Brawl bisecting I guess. His joints are all nicely tight and have no problem supporting his weight. Only new colors are a bit more gray and orange and red for the head. He’s got enough visual interest despite being only two colors largely. He can use the large cannons in robot mode but it requires flipping his turret around. They can fire over his shoulders but can’t fold down enough to sit on his shoulders. Not bad but not great either.
A slight modification of tank mode gives us leg mode. Unlike the Voyager Constructicons, the ankle joint built into Brawl is not a ratchet joint. It’s a beefy chunk to stick into the frame I guess. Hard to say anything else at this point since the thing can’t even really balance unsupported.
Would I recommend Brawl? If you want Bruticus, you have no choice. As a single unit, Brawl is the OG tank-former and that alone is worth something. He’s a well-built toy and looks cool, although if you are buying him as a standalone, the two cannons don’t really do enough to justify the price point.
Also yes I did forget slime dude.

This just made me realize something. If they do end up making a Ruination out of these molds, then the tank and jeep being dedicated as legs and the shuttle and copter being dedicated as arms means Ruination's land-based formation ("Baldigus: Land Mission" in Japanese) is out of the question, with the toy being limited only to his flight-based formation ("Baldigus: Flight Mission"), when, unlike Bruticus, Ruination would actually utilize his Scramble gimmick rather often, frequently switching between his two configurations for different missions depending on if he needed to use his flying ability or his extra muscle. This new Bruticus toy simply can't do that.
Being able to actually scramble is a huge point in the UW Ruination/Baldigus version's favour. It also gives them different body types from the Combaticons on the shelf, which is pretty accurate to the animation.
I would agree if I already owned the UW Baldigus, as the aftermarket prices for it are ridiculous, making it not a viable option for me as much as I would like to own one.
