The Rise of Bruticus: Part 5 - More Bruticus

Note: Previous entry is here

This is the current update for the upgrade units, code name: FlameBlast and WarCry.

Some minor changes... 

...but they are really just recolored versions of Swindle (Munitioner) and Blast Off (Explorer)

This gives Bruticus a whole new dimension when combined - something I'm not really a big fan of.

I really don't get it...

This is another 3rd party / fan made upgrade, a chest plate armor... I'll pass. 

An Army of Bruticus... Megatron's dream.

Now, this is another 3rd party version. Epic, but too much...

This is the current official design based on the game Fall of Cybertron...

I'm not sure what happened to the design to look like this...

So, people are trying to improve this like the one below.

Yeah, sure...

Bruticus then and now...

As for me, I'm itching to customize Brawl to look like a legit tank. I used the old Blast off as a prototype.

Nice, eh? hehe.I'm still thinking how to form him into a left leg though. 

I guess that's all for me now, this should be the last in this Bruticus series...

or maybe not, hehe....

 Stay Tuned!

NEXT PROJECT: 

Feral Rex 

a.k.a 

"PREDAKING"

(This may take a while though... a very long long while... so don't count on it very soon... hehe)

The Rise of Bruticus: Part 2 - Meet the team

Note: Go check Part 1 here.

Bruticus is the combination of a 5-member team called The Combaticons. 

They are...

Onslaught

Blast off (Explorer)

Swindle (Munitioner)

Vortex

Brawl

Let's get to know them .

----------------------------------------------------------

Brawl is the berserk of the team, aptly named as a ground assault unit...

... and aptly given this tank mode with double gun (plus 2 more guns from the upgrades)

Vortex' main function is an interrogator...

and of course, air assault as this heavily armed helicopter, thanks to the upgrade.

Swindle (a.ka. Munitioner) is one of the two upgrade units - the munitions expert of the team...

and transforms in to this sleek looking Humvee.

Blast off (a.k.a.Explorer) is the 2nd upgrade unit of the team, takes care of outer space operations...

...via his space shuttle mode

And Onslaught, the team's commander...

and transforms into this Heavy Assault / Multi-function Carrier.

Next time, I'll try to compare how the upgrade kits updated the original release.

Stay tuned!
