Hasbro officially revealed today that Amazon and Big Bad Toy Store will be jointly sharing the exclusivity rights to sell Transformers Generations Fall of Cybertron G2 Bruticus, but they also revealed that the box art will be very unique as well. Not only does the box art for the figure appear to be very retro, it is retro. Hasbro did research on how the box art and figures looked back then and tried to apply it as faithfully as possible.

I will be getting Ruination, however I'm amazed no one else has said it: "We're getting Ruination!?! Where the F*%K is Scourge?!?"

 

Scourge was the leader of the Decepticon subgroup in RID afterall.

 

I was honestly expecting Ruination and Scourge to be next year's Botcon collector set, but this throws that theory out of the water.

 

seeing as this Ruination is an Autobot, you want an Autobot Scourge???

 

I've got lots of those! They're called "Optimus Prime"! :tflaugh Why would anyone use a name like "Ruination" on an Autobot?

Are you effin kidding me!? Ruination is supposed to be a 'con not an Autobot, way to be real F*%KING lazy Hasbro! The coloring on these guys is even an homage to RID Ruination!

 

This aggravates me, to say the least. I'm going to put 'con symbols on him, having this as an Autobot just makes no sense.

 

And yes we still need that Black RTS Prime.

IMHO Below:

 

I thought the technobots/computron would have been the obvious repaint for FOC Bruticus. due to their futeristic cybertronian alt modes. ofcause they would of had to create a new deluxe scattershot to make it look more like computron.

 

I'm hoping,Hasbro/Takara creates other deluxe combiner teams that are scramble city inter-changeable with each other.

 

I think Hasbro did a top notch,above and beyond awesome retro package/box art for G-2 FOC Bruticus.

I'm hoping that when they say no other MP figures are planned, they simply haven't gotten around to Soundwave and Sideswipe....

Guess Reluttr was right about the MP Thundercracker being the new mold. Guess I will be picking that one up...if I can find it...Finally a WFC / FOC Blaster..I actually like all the KREO stes except I still don't understand why they left members out of each combiner team....The Rumble / Frenzy figures are kind of disappointing.....

For me, Grimlock makes up for no Breakdown, yay Kre-o, awesome news about the TF Prime FE figs coming to TRU, and the more I see of G2 Bruticus the more I like him!

Wait, what's that say on the back of MP Thundercracker's wings? Probably some obscure middle-finger cipher from Archer & Co. to the collectors out there! (Yes, that's in reference to the mold change from the other U.S. releases) :roll

 

Yeah, that's still not enough to deter me from buying it, though...still gotta have it to...drumroll...complete the collection!

 

Still flummoxed by the 'no Breakdown at this time' announcement...what are they waiting on? Oh yeah...year old First Editions. Did anyone ask Aaron whether they were going to stop treating TF:Prime like the redheaded step-Animated? That's all I got...

Looks like that new TRU in towns gonna get a lot of my money.

 

Ruination works as a Wreckers combiner name. Little suprised myself in its use. Little dissapointed in Breakdown, but ya never know. Things happen.

 

Burger King was out of ketchup packets, DAMMIT HASBRO.

    • Please tell me this won't be the only release of TFP Cliffjumper...
    • If you've not had your fill of Transformers collaborative news today, here is some more with a leaked product listing for the Project Knight: Transformers X Knight Rider crossover. We've been dreaming of this one, and it appears a transforming K.I.T.T. will be coming as soon as August! It must be something big and or special with a $49. - Read the Full News Story
    • Tonight on GotBot Goes Live, we talked Transformers news for the newest multipack and some reissues. We also talked collaboratives with TMNT, an Ectotron reissue and, maybe, even Star Wars? Plus, we address the MP Ginrai teaser image and answer who is Riggorus?  
    • EDIT 2: Okay, I think my real problem with this was the marketing image. The main image shows four robot turtles standing together, so I was ready for four toys, not one. Admittedly, I was so disappointed that I did not bother to read the article fully. That's my fault. I apologize. That said, now that I understand it is THE van that turns into a robot, not "robot versions of the four turtles," that makes more sense, but I don't get the four heads. There are images here of a bandana free head which I gather is not included. I would actually prefer a non-specific generic turtle head for the robot. I think that would remove a lot of confusion. At least for me. EDIT 1: My bad, I misunderstood. It's one toy with swappable heads. So, you made a thing based on a four member team, and you only want to sell one toy? You're not even trying to get people to "Collect all FOUR!" You do understand how toy sales work, right? Original Comment: This is a perfectly fine idea executed TERRIBLY. You made four unique toys, each specific to each of the Ninja Turtles, that all turn into the same vehicle? It would be one thing if they joined together to form the van. There have been transformer sets like that before. This is just wasted opportunity. Not to mention, that van exists for the turtles to ride in together as a team, so if they can turn into vehicles ... what do they need a van for? I get that that's their van, and that's cute and all, but ... this is just dumb and disappointing. Why not think about what kind of car each of them would drive based on their personalities, or ask some car company if they want to do a tie-in promotional? What do I want with four copies of the same van and no one to ride in any of them? It makes no sense.
