If you mean the two FP ones then go to kapow toys, they have some of the alternate colour versions still in stock. As for the whole '5 figures' thing, that was a lack of research on my behalf. there are only two for the kit :P
I noticed that about the plastic as well. It definitely doesn't feel like retail plastic, on the other hand It feels a bit more sturdy than most of the other 3rd party plastics. It's definitely the same plastic that we saw on teh superion kit, but it was harder to really feel it since it wasn't on a transforming fig. I LOVE explorer. He's awesome! He is some Drone, there was a pic of it on tfw somewhere. But bot mode definitely has an awesome head sculpt and looks great weilding the knife
i know this is a bit late but...it can actually be both...i think originally it was supposed to be an Axe for the original concept in seperate small robot form...but you can also unfold it and use it as like a bastard sword for Explorer in his seperate smaller robot form...
A family member was at a far away Target on business and she asked me if I wanted the ROTF Bruticus. I said "Nah, I'll wait 'til it hits clearance." One week later- "Fansproject announces Crossfire Explorer and Munitioner!" WHHYYYYYYY!!!?!?!!? Seriously though, great product and great review!
@VulpisFoxfire no Rotf Bruticus is a repaint of Energon Bruticus Maximus. If you decide to buy it BE WARNED: the price on them has skyrocketed since Fsnsproject released the crossfire upgrade.
Ironically the plastic on a retail toy is the "cheap" plastic. Modern plastics can be stronger than metal and some are used in the toy industry for high-end stuff. A common misconception when handling that kind of plastic is that it feels thin and "cheap" when in fact it's much higher quality than the rubbery PVC Hasbro uses on all of it's mass-produced toys.
Cool, do BigBadtoyStore deliver to the UK? It is getting incredible hard to find stores in the uk that sell more than just the movie line at a reasonable price, ie , i saw a G1 reissue Predaking set, the whole complete predacons, for nearly £400. For some reason UK transformer prices seem to be very high.
anyone else have a misprint on their boxes?. on the back of both my boxes where it tells you what they transform into it says CHARGE instead of CHANGE. just thought i'd ask.
Is it possible to use the cannon for the 5-pack Onslaught for the Universe/Generations Ultra class Onslaught? I'm on the fence about these guys. I'd like Swindle, but I think Blast Off's accessories are better. Anyway, just wondering about the compatability of the cannon between Onslaughts. Thanks.
I haven't bothered looking at the Bayformer stuff that much--is the ROTF Bruticus yet another re-issue of the G1 Bruticus like RiD Ruination was, or os this a different mold set, like the Universe Superion?

it's amazing how infamous the combaticons have become with this set alone.
PEAUGH!!!! YOU WILL BE THE MOST PRAISED MAN IN HISTORY!!!!

The nose of the jet looked like it made of chocolate. The knife/axe/wing thing's probablly the best feature of this fig.
thanks
He's not supposed to be a shuttle. It's an unmanned drone. It's a very accurate match too. Great review as always and keep up the good work.
im getting both sooon!!
Crossfire! You'll get caught up in the Crossfire!
I wish fansproject does an add on kit for Classics Devastator and Nexus Maximus
"You kids!" :D
I believe the intended Alt mode of this version of Blast Off is a NASA X-37.
i REALLY like that Axe/Blade. I would buy this figure JUST for that blade.
I don't blame you, I blame the iPhone. This guy is my favorite Combaticon other than Bruticus himself.
Great if you got yours from bbts maybe mine will come in today too

Onslaught: Our UAV's online!

It's a shame they didn't make any small guns for Blast-off to use in his shuttle mode. Other than that awesome set(s).
From now on whenever I see Blast Off im gonna think Angry Butcher.
"Stay out of my meat store"
"And stay out!"
LOL! nice one! XD
@peaugh thanks for the info :D i just got in touch with andy over at kapow toys, he's gonna let me know when the sets come in
Ur such a kewl person :)

I think he looks more menacing if his weapon is in sword form.
@forgottenduelist me too but im getting them anyway
it isn't an axe, its a sword!
anyone else have a misprint on their boxes?. on the back of both my boxes where it tells you what they transform into it says CHARGE instead of CHANGE. just thought i'd ask.
I've never even seen the ROTF Bruticus. Pity really. I'd get all of this if I had one.
superion or bruticus?
shound I get.
So with the boxes, they can be easily closed up and back in should I say 'mint condition'?
Do u think you can have a contest on these guys?
Great review m8! Shame he doesn't come with a pistol.
For pete''s sake ... give him windows fansproject..
great review mate

there is ONLY one thing these figures need to become perfect, reprolabels decepticon symbols!

Can he and Swindle still combine with the rest of the combaticons without the extra Add-Ons?
@peaugh sorry didn't mean to come off overly nerdy there lol Great review as always man.
where can i buy these figures at
does the plastic feel the same as city commander?
is the sword soft almost rubber plastic??
do i need to buy all 5 of the fansproject figures to make the combined mode or will my rotf bruticus work just fine?
I like this figure but the price seems too high for a hunk of plastic. I hate how toy manufactures try to rip off the collectors these days.
Can you give me a link to where you bought this?
did you get this:
a. by mail
b. by computer
c. by store (buy it)
16+?!?! But i want it!
what store did you get yours from
@ernestoagosto1 lol u would spend $50 for a lil axe?
@digioverlord For a lil Axe/Combat Knife ;) xD
is this really wort the $50 the piece?
YOU KIDS~! lol
lol "You kids stay outa my meat store" then and stay out
this is great, but for the price it demands now, its a piece of crap. this should be $30/£30 at most. not a $100!
16+ should get those pesky "Dora" fans away XD
Pass! thats a terrible figure!
