Honestly, while I'm thrilled I was able to complete the Combaticons, I did a lot with Amazon points and even then I question the cost/value ratio. I have no worries letting my nephew borrow CW and POTP combiners but Bruticus isn't as user friendly, it reminds me of Fansproject on some level. I...

-and had clearly had let themselves go in their time away from the spotlight. (which was Comic Con, wasn't it? Dang, that was quick...) Edit: Dang...Predaking wasn't joking, you really CAN get three Bumblebees for that. And it strikes me as odd, as I had several GoBots back in the day with...

So you're saying the bot I got recently with 'swindle' written on it was NOT the best one to have that label?

"Egg." "Bumblebee? You ok, man...?" "Egg."

What's truely outrageous is I saw those dolls on the clearance aisle at WalMart recently. They haven't even been OUT that long, have they...?

The last member's price definitely was, but at least Hasbro was polite enough to write 'swindle' right on the box, so at least they didn't mislabel their product.

The idea I had for a 'cable extender' for Shockwave to hook to Bruticus 'power pack' style worked! Also realized I could put some of the Red Cog guns I was using for Onslaught on the shoulder as a sort of anti-aircraft thing. LET OUR NEUROSES COMBINE!

I know full well the measurements were probably out there for me to see, but I'm still surprised at how tall this new Bruticus is, seeing as everyone keeps claiming he's stumpy. It doesn't look like that at all in person, but is surprisingly hard to photograph. Here's next to Defensor, better...

Another note, the way I have Swindle's windshield, it seems to have caused minor stress on the corners of the frame it's pegged into. Easily fixed with a hair dryer and more oil again, but The QC lottery being what it is, unless they come out with something truly astounding, I'm not planning to...

Well, Swindle arrived, and I think his name and price are the same concept. And yes, the arm twists were scary-tight and felt like I was going to snap plastic. Hairdryer and silicon oil has it now only at 'be really careful and not letting the nephew borrow this one' level tight. Unless they...

Hot Spot has the same advantage Onslaught did with this system, having a huge 'rear part' for the truck mode. But for the limbs, I imagine the frame would be somewhat more asymmetric on the legs, seeing as Groove and Streetwise make vastly different shaped legs. Swindle and Brawl have somewhat...

It seems that the rotation for the wheels/shoulders is a very tight post down a long hole pinned at the top so there's no way to loosen it. What I've done in similar situations is warm it up, and apply some plastic safe silicon lube to the area. It's easier than heating the pin with a...

Supposedly Swindle arrives today. I already have my hair dryer and silicon model oil ready for the shoulders if needed. But if it works this will be the first (and likely last) time I've ever completed a Bruticus. I assembled Defensor (CW) last night to be able to compare easily.

I always thought it was rather innovative, after they tried to store Optimus Prime's brain on a 1.44 MB disk, how they put his name on his chest to help him remember it. And if blue Optimus is Dr. Manhattan, does that make the other one "Prince" Megatron...?

In a parallel universe, Prime didn't die, he just became the weirdest version of Dr. Manhattan yet.

Actually, if you count the front and back, there would be six, and Captain Picard would snap and spend the next several years convinced he's Professor X.

Some people just need some assistance when it comes to understanding the Bond franchise in general. That's the job of the Bond Aide.

However it works out, I expect his gun will be a PPK reference, given the era, and I hope there's enough budget to work in a few extra gimmicks like the old pop out headlight guns, similar to how Agent Knight got his voice and lightbar. Then there is a surprise animated short on youtube where...

So if someone wants Jem, the Misfit girl, and Cold Slither Zartan to go with Blaster and Toxitron Mirage, now's the time?

Weird. Honestly, I thought James Bond cars would be more of a MASK thing, especially that submarine one. Not joking, I really thought it would have crossed over with them first. Decades ago.
