Comments on me "mistransforming" the torso mode, are being deleted. The instructions were followed and i will show exactly what i am talking about in my review of Bruticus coming this Friday.
+optibotimus hey i say if that's what the instructions say then it's hasbro's mistake not yours like how they left out that detail with drag strip's leg mode
***** I go into it more in detail in my review of Bruticus. The instruction steps stop at how i have the torso done. But when you look at their final pictures, it shows the shoulders rotated around and yes, they tab in that way too, but the instructions as i said, actually tell you differently. It'll be all clear Friday
***** yeah no i get that i'm saying that's not an issue of you mistransforming it it's an issue of an error in the instructions namely that it stops there
Besides the wonky leg design. I LOVE how Onslaught turned out. And after having both him and Hotspot next to each other in hand. I agree that Onslaught works better with this mold. Really looking forward to the Bruticus video!
Hey Paul, thanks for answering my Tweet from Walmart the other day about whether I should get the Bruticus set or not. Picked him up and definitely my favorite of the line and once you add Shockwave to it, it's just too sweet. (Picked up an extra Shockwave just because it looks great with CW Cyclonus, too) Kind of hope they just create a new character to use the mold with and give us varying colors of the gun mode.
Just curious, would the long front barrel piece from silverbolts gun fit in the backpack ports instead of the goofy silver firehose guns from hotspot? If you have two of the black barrels they would look better for Bruticus double shoulder cannons.
I already own two Bruticus from the Generations line (one Hasbro and one Takara - and I still love them both) and I really didn't want to get another Bruticus, but just watching this Onslaught review makes me want to go out and get it. Onslaught alone would make the experience worthwhile, so maybe I'll just get Onslaught. He just looks like something I'd love to have on my office desk.
Buying this off BBTS to start forming my G1 Bruticus collection, but for the time being I think I'll also buy the G2 Fruiticus while I wait for prices to drop, or for BBTS to hopefully restock one day
Your soo lucky to get these guys Paul, unfortunately I have to wait to pick these guys up next year. 😦 Due to shopping, & other things going on...ugh...
today, I was at the store and I saw only 2 transformers combiner wars toys. it was Onslaught and Scattershot. I had too many autobots already and a few deceptions and I picked up Onslaught instead
Hey Paul awesome review as always. I have every team member but him. As soon as I find him Bruticus will awaken. Just from what I've seen he looks night and day better than Hotspot. As always thanks for your in-depth and honest review. I for one will,be waiting with baited breath for the Bruticus review!!!
The shoulders in the combined mode are wrong,and you had them right. There are slots on the front that tab into the wing sections of the chestplate. Just to let you know if you didn't notice them.
+optibotimus Now that you say, the instructions up till step19 say keep them rotated up, then after 20 you see them down, but in combined form in the instructions they are up again, and so it is in the display picture. Honestly I don't care that you do either. You are both wrong and right ^^.
Optibotimus,long time no comment ;),how does one tighten the looseness of the left arm?Is there any other polish or lubricant besides Future that i can since Future is not sold in Singapore
I remember you totally calling it that they would retool Hot Spot as Onslaught. Awesome figure. I only plan on collecting one of these great combiners and I'm either going for this or Superion. The only thing that is hindering me from collecting Bruticus is that I have the Fall of Cybertron version already. Those are decent figures but they pale in comparison to these guys.
+the Alternian Autobot Fun fact: there was going to be an Armada Demolishor made from this figure, but it never went past a prototype that was leaked on a chinese website. There was an interview that destroyed any possibility of it being released. You can search for it on TFW2005.
+Decepticon Sunstorm I update my website weekly with my schedule for the upcoming week in terms of reviews. I'd check that out regularly so you have an idea of what i have planned www.optibotimusreviews.com
***** Well, I just got him in the mail after I asked that, so I don't really need to check now. One thing about him that might make you dislike him more: his head is painted in gunmetal gray and sculpted in white. So we could have had a Computron-colored head, but Hasbro screwed us over again.
you know when did your blast off review you did not menchine on the back of the comic with an extended version of blastoff bio explain that he had been captured by the Autobots and after he Escape back to the Combaticons, onslaught ordered blastoff to rescan his vehicle mode to become a fighter jet.
+thestarscreamER1 depends on the store as to when they're on the shelf for example my walmart still has wave 3 on the pegs but they are out note we did have wave 4 but they kinda sold out
+thestarscreamER1 Depends on the store and stuff like the staff n shit. Like, if they dont order it, they aren't getting it. Which is why the Walmart I work at, has like NO transformers.
Finally got around to screwing around with this thing and my figure is as loose as dog crap during a rain storm. I am not a fan of this mold, WTF exactly is this thing supposed to be. I like your reviews man, but sometimes your way too generous.

***** like how on dragstrip to make him level with the others you have to fold up that back bit but the original instructions don't tell you that
***** exactly
I LOVE the way the videos are turning out! You are my go to guy for official figure reviews!!! Keep Up the great work!
+Jorge Munoz That means a lot to me. Thank you for watching!

+RowdyRodimus Awesome :) Always glad to help you out sir :)
get bruticus i really recommend it but i just got mine separately
Just curious, would the long front barrel piece from silverbolts gun fit in the backpack ports instead of the goofy silver firehose guns from hotspot? If you have two of the black barrels they would look better for Bruticus double shoulder cannons.
awesome video finally reviewed the onslaught I want to see how you combine him
I love that zoom feature you have been using. Great video! I can't wait to find one for myself!
+Dan Lennane Thank you very much. I'm glad it's being appreciated and useful (especially in the video i'm currently working on haha stay tuned!)

Awesome review as always.. The right arm on mine is so loose it flops down :-(
Top review as always, man. Some of us appreciate what ya do for us. :P
+Damian Skyfire And i'm always eternally grateful for the support :) Thank you!

Great review I agree with you this mold was made for onslaught I hope third party come with hip fix
today, I was at the store and I saw only 2 transformers combiner wars toys. it was Onslaught and Scattershot. I had too many autobots already and a few deceptions and I picked up Onslaught instead
My cousin got me this for Christmas (even though it came in January) It's so cool!
I imagine some people would buy an extra Onslaught for the heels alone to put onto Hot Spot
I am still trying to figure out what his Alt-mode is suppose to be, some kind of AA truck?
armored carrier, I believe. just as his G1 counterpart
So basickly hot spot is a remolded version onslote

+John Boucek I followed the steps laid out in the instructions

Honestly I don't care that you do either.
You are both wrong and right ^^.
David Nieuwenhuis
Exactly.
Man,I see new transformers reviews from ya makes me smile,Keep up the great work bro!
Hey Paul, how reliable are BBTS? I'm thinking about getting some Combiner Wars stuff including all the Combaticons for Christmas.
Optibotimus,long time no comment ;),how does one tighten the looseness of the left arm?Is there any other polish or lubricant besides Future that i can since Future is not sold in Singapore
+Stormflash1311 I'm not sure unfortunately. Since i'm not in Singapore, i don't know what is actually available to you.
+optibotimus ok,thanks,sorry for the late reply,didn't see:)Keep up the good work

+MaxVonDraken I also kinda already knew ;) lol
los hombros del modo combinado están mal amigo ☺
thanks for helping me bro!
The video is beautiful. so clear.
I should have gotten this dude I saw him at a store for like 5 US dollars i was so damn stupid that deal seemed really good
dark assassin X96 what store was it in that was 5 dollars
Just let it be your birthday, I got onslaught and the rest of the team for my birthday
Onslaught makes the mold work IMO, but it's weird how they kept the lightbar.
Will you be giving a review of legend class shockwave as well, since he's teamed with the combaticons as their weapon?
am I on of the few who this version of onslaught would work as a Armada Demolisher redeco/retooling?
+the Alternian Autobot Fun fact: there was going to be an Armada Demolishor made from this figure, but it never went past a prototype that was leaked on a chinese website. There was an interview that destroyed any possibility of it being released. You can search for it on TFW2005.
Ah. I would have loved more UT homages in CW and Titans return
Just bought this today (with Scattershot) for £14.99 each
Man, this onslaught is a sexy beast. Sad I can't find a decent priced one, or bruticus set.
instant buy on the spot thank optibotimus!!
i feel there should be a rule if there is an onslaught and hot spot there should be a pyro and clench read tfwiki for who those 2 are
Are you doing Scattershot?
+Decepticon Sunstorm I will but i have several other things that i gotta get up first.
+optibotimus Ok. I was just wondering.
+Decepticon Sunstorm I update my website weekly with my schedule for the upcoming week in terms of reviews. I'd check that out regularly so you have an idea of what i have planned www.optibotimusreviews.com

will next week be the combination
+Nick Cianfano That video will be up Friday
K thanks and why not check out a couple of my videos
I ripped his head open. shaved out some plastic and now he can look straight ahead. you have to glue the head back together however
I do not understand why they haven't made any toys for TLK Onslaught.
i have that transformer
cool ;)
Ofelia Mañosa Mee too
you know when did your blast off review you did not menchine on the back of the comic with an extended version of blastoff bio explain that he had been captured by the Autobots and after he Escape back to the Combaticons, onslaught ordered blastoff to rescan his vehicle mode to become a fighter jet.
+maskedwarrior Maybe before you say i didn't do something, you actually check because i DID talk about the extended bio on the comic for Blast off
at 19:18 it sounds like he swore
I'm probably the only one who likes Hot Spot more. Sue me.
When are the combaticons coming out in retail stores?
+thestarscreamER1 They're out now
+thestarscreamER1 depends on the store as to when they're on the shelf for example my walmart still has wave 3 on the pegs but they are out note we did have wave 4 but they kinda sold out
+optibotimus umm here in the phillipenes it's not out yet when dou you think it going out
+thestarscreamER1 Depends on the store and stuff like the staff n shit. Like, if they dont order it, they aren't getting it. Which is why the Walmart I work at, has like NO transformers.
+optibotimus Hey, sweet review man! I was wondering if you were going to be at the Botcon 2016??
+Colossal_Badger I'm working on it. Right now i have arrangements to make for it, but i'm hoping to be there
Kick butt man!! I hope to see you there man. Big fan
DUDICUS!
GOD DAMMIT, I saw him at the store, and next to him was TR astrotrain since my mom didn't let me buy both I had to choose astrotrain from TR
Good thing I got this for $16.99
I don't like onslaughts vehicle but i never have the toy looks nothing like the cartoons but the rest of the combaticons look pretty good
I thought hotspot was the best torso-making robot till now.
hotspot is looking like sentinel prime in my mind!
I actually repurposed him into Sentinel once.
i have the guns in a different position and i am able to plug in the arms more securly
+optibotimus great video
Onslaught came after hotspot
+optibotimus helll yeaaa nice review Keep it up DUDE :)) Just broke my figure XD
+RED Snapper3000 which finger. I broke my pinky.
too bad they didn't change the guns
Check out nonnef.com, the improved hip-ratchets have been out for awhile, they work beautifully.
I accidentally destroyed the set i have (this one the video)
Finally got around to screwing around with this thing and my figure is as loose as dog crap during a rain storm. I am not a fan of this mold, WTF exactly is this thing supposed to be. I like your reviews man, but sometimes your way too generous.
You mileage may vary.
+BryanPrime Reviews. Your* sorry,
Trans formers
Nerd!!
NORMAL GUY! XD
