I pretty much got this five pack because with reduced prices and a close-out clearance at K-mart, I got the entire set for $5.50 USD. I've never had the chance to have any sort of "Bruticus" or Combaticon squad, and I also like the vehicle modes of Bombshock and the drones. Thank you for making such a well-thought-out and impartial review. You did a great job pinpointing both the good and the bad not just with appearances but also for how it would actually feel to play with him. Great work!
Gah, no time to check if others have pointed it out yet, but those tabs that plug into the shoulders DO work. You'll have to finagle his regular robot mode shoulders and elbows a bit, but once it's all lined up, you can pop his forearms into his gestalt shoulders.
I think I'm going to get this guy, why I dpn't know. I always liked bruticus and this is as close as I'm getting. A repaint with military colors metal and dirt might look awesome
i saw this and the other PCCs at my local TRU and damn! are they small. I'll be passing on these and wait for the BBTS Seacons to be released and call it a year. I am keeping an eye and ear out for MP Rodimus.
Funny you should say that you like the scout. In wave three, he'll be repainted as "Steelshot" (I think) and he'll come w/ a repainted backwind. You probably knew that already, but thought it was worth mentioning. On mine, I have a weird problem. The missle carrier drone (right arm) holds too tightly and the APC drone (right leg) hold too loosely. The APC is the real problem. When I use in on any other figure, it just pops right back off within a few seconds (seems fine on Huffer though, odd).
Good review...I picked mine up because of this review My figure does have the issue with the legs falling off in the combined mode, I just don't like the "bionicle-esquw arm"
i like the idea of the whole pcc five pack but some of this stuff is just plain sad like u said there is not much posibility if there was i would definatly get one but ill just stick with the two pack
The arm tab problem is only a problem on yours, my version works perfectly fine in that respect. The jeep leg has the same problem on mine, but I've been able to fix him rather easily to pose and have gotten some really nice poses from him. I think some of your problems are just QC errors. I did this figure.
did you get this before or after official release? cause if you got it beforehand, then thats probably why yours has alotta problems. i just got mine recently and its amazin, no problems at all
Those problems with the arms that you were having,I was having. And my Bombshock is unfortunately broken because the peg on the left arm has broken off.
I actually picked this guy up at TrU. But i had to return him due to extreme disappointment with the whole gimmick. I don't think i will get into these guys unfortunately.
I know this is old but really if anyone out there has him sealed , mint in box just leave him in there , as a reminder of some of the poorly engineered figures Hansbrough has released over the years.
"I'm not going to touch the figure for the rest of the review."
*Immediately touches the figure*

Love the head sculpt of the combined mode. It just screams decepticon
I think they should name him bruticus2
He reminds me a lot of onslaught from Generation 1
I like the inclusion of music during transformation. Very different and effective.
Thinking of getting this set just for the tank limbs. That autobot tank core combiner needs limbs
I think this guy is good, he looks awesome and has decent articulation, don't know why you don't like him....

The ApC vehicle is who I like to call Vortex
I had this guy as a kid but now I'm fifteen and I can't find him though I'd buy him off someone!
Good review...I picked mine up because of this review
My figure does have the issue with the legs falling off in the combined mode, I just don't like the "bionicle-esquw arm"
i got this fig for myself at toys r us and i like it
i like the idea of the whole pcc five pack but some of this stuff is just plain sad like u said there is not much posibility if there was i would definatly get one but ill just stick with the two pack
This one doesn't have any of that clear plastic minicon armor thingy?
I still have this figure. The legs tend to pop off, but I’m fine with just the arms
the arms on mine don't pop out when plugging them into the tabs in combined mode so hat is just yours, but the leg problems are the same on mine.
The arm tab problem is only a problem on yours, my version works perfectly fine in that respect.
The jeep leg has the same problem on mine, but I've been able to fix him rather easily to pose and have gotten some really nice poses from him. I think some of your problems are just QC errors.
I did this figure.
what song is that when you'r putting bombshock in powerlink torso mode?
5:15 whats the song?
I have him and one of his arms don't lock in the other does. are there any Powercores you like at all Spader
I have this guy. He’s a bit of a brick but I still like him.
Same thought of do not get this figure. Combining was great and the rest sucked, but I think his parts will go great with Smolder.
man that song was good and catchy, whats the name of the song and band?
how do the combaticon drones look on smolder?
"I'm not touching him for the rest of the review."
And then he touches the figure.
hmmm that backpack on the robot mode for bombshock reminds me of a megatron backpack
did you get this before or after official release? cause if you got it beforehand, then thats probably why yours has alotta problems. i just got mine recently and its amazin, no problems at all
Music + Transformation? inspired by Thew possibily?
i like the head its cool it doesn't look like its transformers
MoSKoW same
The half track is who I like to Call brawl
@p8ntballerking007 Do you think he's a good figure? I do, alot of people say he's decent or a bit bad but personally he's AWESOME.
blue boosters?
what is the name of the song in the minute 5:13
Check the ending Mr. Derek
Those problems with the arms that you were having,I was having.
And my Bombshock is unfortunately broken because the peg on the left arm has broken off.
bombshock is a definat omage to onslaught
I dont have any problem with bomshock's arms in combined mode
my toy doesnt have the first problem u mentioned
I feel like these would have been better if the limbs split apart like how tidalwave transforms.
If you clip the hand on the missile carrier drone,that gravity issue will be solved.
The GI Joe inspired missile truck I tried to call blast Off
he looks like a repaint of one of my older ones
yeah the power pegs pop off on mine
Transformers are awsomeeee
ya this is alot better then superion
does urs leg fall off ( left leg jeep) cuz mine does
I like your profile picture, how about mine?
the arms tab in for me but I have to put them in SLOOOOOOOOOWLY
hasbro are going to release him with a redeco and a minicon(2-pack)
i alredy have him but i dont know where did i put it and he looks like bruticus long lost brother
3:33 More like an Autobot and his head look like cross hairs head and a call of duty type of head
@verboten82 its at the end of the video lol
The cheapest is who I like two call swindle
Really, all you have to do is put the Fall of Cybertron combaticon limbs on him, and whammy you got good limbs
BBT gaming u can't put the fall of cybertron limbs on him. He has bigger limbs, and the torso looks small. And the ports are small
I didn’t know George w was an animal molester
I actually picked this guy up at TrU. But i had to return him due to extreme disappointment with the whole gimmick. I don't think i will get into these guys unfortunately.
I lost this toy and im soooo sadddd :(
Good job dude
I don't know...the head reminds me of Cybertron Scattorshot
I know this is old but really if anyone out there has him sealed , mint in box just leave him in there , as a reminder of some of the poorly engineered figures Hansbrough has released over the years.
Well too late
Literally just got him two days ago
my version has the autobot simbol
ryuuchisu maybe u got a different PCC combiner
@Actionfan19 Freaking Beast
Why is his skirt up
Justin Lakeram skirt really
Justin Lakeram wtf he's not a female. It's the croutch plate!
i had a different color of this
sell out.
The real Combaticons are better lol
@p8ntballerking007 Do you think he's a good figure? I do, alot of people say he's decent or a bit bad but personally he's AWESOME.
