Bruticus

And that the one thing I do want to acknowledge about the IDW edition is that of course, the trade for that is the one that has the additional pages.

that Don Figueroa obviously drew, with Superion and Menasor and Bruticus and Defensor, you know? And Omega Supreme is there as well.

And they're all fighting outside the arc.

And that is, like, the real...

I guess it's just the more in thing to just say he's, you know, that.

I wonder when the Battle Gaia version of Bruticus will come out and they'll be like, it's Shattered Glass Bruticus.

I'll be like, no.

No, it's Battle Gaia Bruticus.

Don't be a liar.

I do like to see this color for Metroplex, though, because I do like it.

And it's a pretty nicely proportioned Volcanicus.

It's...

did he go? There it is.

I did manage to finally get swindle for Bruticus, uh, for Transformers.

So that's now three of the five I need for Bruticus.

I'm still looking for blast off, which is the space shuttle and brawn, which is the tank or brawl.

So it depends on which version they name them.

Uh, and that'll let me finish Bruticus for another of my gestalts for Transformers.

And

then I also finally got

There he is.

So this is Transformers Generations Ball of Cybertron Bruticus.

This is a fun story because this was the first combiner they did for a very long time.

You know, Transformers had not done for combiners.

But they're like, "Just be patient.

Don't go out and buy a silver, another silver bolt frame and another, um, you know, Bruticus frame to do Nexus Maximus." And what Mark really wants to do is to add some extra pieces in with the frame to make it really, like, cool and robust.

So it, there, the, he wants to do...

A- and you know, he's got that, uh, awesome design, you know, to him where he likes that crazy stuff, and I just keep thinking of, like, Nexus Maximus put, uh...

Um, but I don't think they were in the cartoon or nothing, just in the GoBots cartoon, but it was a nice, cool thing.

And then, which I'm not finished yet, I'll probably show next week, um, I got Bruticus.

Uh, this was the final figure I got actually from Target.

Got it on sale.

Uh, the last figure that, that actually formed into Bruticus, which is, uh, more of a commander class, which is actually the bigger, bigger class characters, was Onslaught.

And Onslaught had all the, the, uh, formation to build-

Wow

...

I'd say far down the table, though, because Monstruct is not like a quote-unquote moneymaker kind of guy, unfortunately.

Usually companies, as we all know, go through the usual rigmarole of Devastator, Motormaster, Bruticus, etc., etc.

So I wouldn't hold breath for a Monstructor any time soon.

Could be wrong.

And then, uh, I got an- uh, another villain, which is really cool.

This was, uh, Swindle, which, which is a part of the Bruticus build.

Um, there's an episode with Swindle to where Bruticus falls to pieces, and he's all in little parts, and Swindle has to grab all his little pieces and, and gather them all together, and he has to go to junkyards and get pieces.

It's a really random episode.

[laughs] But again, this is all about Swindle, that one character, uh, that builds Bruticus.

And I do have, uh, three of three...

I got four of the five, um, [clicks tongue] uh, to build Bruticus.

The only problem is, is the last character, which is the bigger character, he's, he's like 2, $300.

Now all that remains for Defensor is to deliver the coup de grace.

And he smashes Bruticus' head on the ground.

Yeah, he stomps

it.

He curb stomps Bruticus.

He does.

It was like, whoa! You know what, when we get to that spot, maybe we'll tell you.
