2:21 FINALLY SOMEONE GETS IT. You cannot make a mp and a legends the same way, and you cannot just upscale or downscale a figure. Each figure is made with its own size in mind, which determines its transformation
What's funny is I almost think I got worse over time. Like sure the First Brawl didn't have a ring light for forwards illumination, and was filmed on an phone, and didn't have a turn table, but at the same time, I just fee like I was more creative back then.
@@PerspectiveEndi lowkey feel that where I feel less creative with my new vids compared to stuff from a few years ago but at least to me ur stuff is better now
you know, I've been thinking about getting the Magic Square Brawl for a bit now, and this video has done nothing but confirm my want for it more. Thanks PerspectiveEnd!
i love the new editing and style and ive been waiting so long for this, this mightve sold me to get the whole team. i swear this is the first good review ive seen for this guy
man i was really hoping to see the Warbatron version of brawl come in just to see how he holds up, really loved watching this video regardless keep up the fantastic work!
Sadly I gave away my Warbotron a long time ago. I don't think that thing would have done well at all, the only two of that set that I still look back on Fondly, are Onslaught, and Blastoff.
@@PerspectiveEnd Yeah, it was understandable with Menasor & Superion because its accurate towards animation but Bruticus actually has the entire vehicle become the leg
I'm glad this has come out as I have started the journey of collecting the MMC Combaticons starting with Onslaught. I would love to see reviews of the other 4 members of the team on your channel. Brawl will be the next one of the team I get!!!!
I was not convinced at all due to the points you mentioned about MS legends figures, however i caved in and ordered brawl as a christmas gift and he should be arriving soon
@PerspectiveEnd while I don't expect you to ever buy it, he's actually a really solid figure. The joints are tight, transformation is nice and fun, shelf presence is intense. He's probably my favorite MPM figure just ahead of Blackout
Seeing as I already have three members of the team, I will be going with MMC for the rest of the set. The MS has a few better attributes but on the other hand, I have transformed my MMC Swindle and Vortex a hundred times each, and their Blast off probably a thousand, and nothing has broken. Also, I want a combiner without partsforming so…
Im so glad the MS review is a comparison, bc idk which to go with or go with MS legends. Im waiting for everything MP sized MS review to be the same template then Bruticus’s turn.
Even then, they still might not last. I have seen some (literally two) toys make sliders enjoyable, but every other time (including those two toys) sliders were used as a substitute for something more complex. Thats not to say sliders are always complete agony to deal with, but they are the joint that is capable of having sand leak in and lock it at the halfway point permanently.
Ironically, MS used way better plastic on their Legends Bruticus than normal so most of my usual complaints regarding feel and washed-out details aren't there for once... and then they screw up the materials on the MP.
@PerspectiveEnd i assume it. Going by the other scrambled city combiners so far. If anything I bet there gonna do it in a similar way as the MS brawl. Since they wanna be accurate now a days. So I dont think we need to fear the tank turret being on the back on bruticus, hehe.
funny thing with the back gun on the MS, you can actually tab it into his forearm for some tarn-like action oh also your swindle leg is broken for some reason, mine actually has that ratchet
2:40 Actually, they use material called nylon to make their figures. Nylon is supposed to be slightly bendy and look and feel differently from regular abs, but it's less fragile and more durable
Ill give it flexible and durable, ive had one of these nylon toys almost have an arm pop out with the pin at a really weird angle, but i was able to put it back in without any damage to the toy. That said, I still dont trust the material, and the surface look is not great.
Well I have been struggling on which MP scale Brawl to get and this helps. I am leaning towards the MMC because the bulk makes him look like by has a powerful presence. Thanks for helping my perspective perspective
I really hope hasbro does the combaticons justice for age of the primes The art of vortex looks ludicrously good and it actually looks like vortex unlike the CW one. So here's to hoping they all look great when they all get revealed Also terrible timing once again. They just showed 86 longhaul and hook.
11:43 If you swapped the head of the Zombie Seeker with Siege or Earthrise Starscream, he would look perfect. Starscream did always have a darker face than the other seekers, plus the Zombie Seekers face has a smirk
Man, I live for Brawl him, and Swindle are the best of the Combaticons to me. I love how both look, and there are the only ones I still have from Combiner Wars' set of figures.
I'll give points to Magic Square for the narrower shins and a smaller turret that doesn't get in the way as much in robot mode, but the arms look needlessly worse for hiding all the track armour elsewhere. And MMC gets all the points for actually being an honest-to-god triple changer combiner piece while Magic Square has joined the recent mainline combiners in cheating even more than usual.
For myself, personally, I’d go for hand feel over aesthetics any day, sure I got my figures on display, but I also enjoy messing with them, though how you described it these both are amazing figures, but I do love that the MMC not only has no parts forming aside from the back gun, but all the parts can store on deck in combined mode
Out of the box, i thought the MS Brawl was one of the best MP scale figures i ever handled. The sculpt, proportions, and articulation are impeccable. Then i transformed it, and decided to sell it and forget about collecting the rest of the team. The figure looks beautiful, and even feels nice in hand, but that transformation is just hateful for all the reasons outlined here. If they ever do a V2 with better tolerances and better tabs then Id be first in line.
So fun fact, my swindle was the same. He does have ratchet joints in the combined foot. For some reason they only started working but pushing the tilt to its maximum, then suddenly the ratchets work. Idk how that happened
I feel like the MMC Brawl is the one to get if you want G1, but more detail, and MS is the perfect G1 figure for brawl. Both are great, and I don’t know which one I like more
You can't. This is actually a Carved piece of Nylon that my brother gave to me when he quit his job making fixed wing aircraft. It used to be used to help Contour Carbon Fiber to the joints. So if you want one you gotta carve it, cause they don't come this shape.
The MS barrel does push in for the combined mode so it isn't so long, and they fucked you on your swindle combine foot. Mine has good ratchets like my brawls foot
Both are really nice representations, though Q/C, and transformation will always win out for me. I do think the parts forming foot is an overall better, and stable design option. Don't ever think I'll get into third party collecting but I'm excited to see what Hasbro does with Brawn and the Combaticons in AOTP 2026. As foot formers I'm really hoping Brawl, and Swindle get Voyager releases. Brutucus isn't one of those designs where Hasbro can just slam the vehicles on the back of the legs and call it a day.
It also boils down to how the other 4 turn out. Unless your favorite character is g1 brawl and your four least favorites are the other combaticons, youre probably buying them for the ability to form bruticus.
I really wish Magic Square did more full scale figures. Everything they make looks so good but I just can’t justify spending 3P money on a toy that’s smaller than my thumb.
Perspective, you need to break in your ms brawl, the transformation gets significantly easier every time you do it until it finally smoothens out, and the joints get easier every time you do it, also you missed the double barrel gun plugging into the arms.
I get slider hate from Hasbro, but MMC has ALWAYS gone above and beyond to have a solid catch and trigger system that makes it stable in both positions.
I watched your Video about Aligned Continuity. 1.Transformers: RID 2015 is not a direct sequel to Transformers: Prime.Transformers: RID 2015 is the stand-alone sequel to Transformers: Prime. 2.Most of the Decepticons had animals characteristic in RID 2015 because, which in probably because Transformers: Prime there was the bird Laserbeak, the spider Airachnid and the Insecticons. RID 2015 confirmed to us that there are also other types of Transformers.
1 What are you defining as the difference between a Direct Sequel, and a Stand Alone Sequel? I mean Optimus comes back from the Well of Alsparks in that and everyone acts like he was dead in there, so there is lore and context that you are missing if you just watch that show. 2 Laserbeak wasn't a Bird in Prime, he was just kind of like a weird drone thing that had no animal characteristics at all. And I don't know that Airachnid counts.
An stand-alone sequel is work that takes place in same universe but has little or no narravite connection to the predecessor and can be appreciated on its own.Open questions do not need to be answerd and tell us a new story. This is Transformers: RID 2015.
In Transformers: Prime, Airachnid had Spider powers like Spider-Man, i.e. spider webs and spider legs so she could easily clim walls. With Airachnid, it counts.
I’m disappointed in you perspective. You had the easiest title, his name is LITERALLY BRAWL. The brawl brawl is the title we could have got.
💀
We were robbed
0:11 This just in: 86 Long Haul, Hook, and the majority of Devastator have been revealed.
Maybe Skeleton combiners aren’t such a bad concept. It makes the individual bots look a lot better
@ True. But I think for Devastator they wanted to make Long Haul and Hook combine to make the skeleton
The devouring lesser shins effect was well done lol
Thank you, though to be honest, I did use an AI to blend my Photo, with the Photoshop I made, so I can't take too much credit for it.

The rubber treads…
Wait, you could extend the dual barreled gun on the MMC!?
I knew you could compress the turret, but didn't know that.
They need to make a transformer just named bob. Like and never even explain why he's named that and he's just the most harass transformer ever

It's an Insecticon from IDW.

MMC: Nothing will match us. Magic Square: Hold my beer
The MMC can also hold tte rear guns on his forearm too. I don't know if it's an official feature, but the connectors are there.

Thank you so much! And you have a great Christmas as well.
I care about Brawl, he’s my Favorite Combaticon along side Swindle!!!
Absolute same here Dude. I was always a Brawl Guy as a kid.
Mmc looks so cool
I think they both look great, though I prefer the MS.
I always thought the MMC combaticons looked a little awkward , glad I'm not the only one anymore
Ironically, MS used way better plastic on their Legends Bruticus than normal so most of my usual complaints regarding feel and washed-out details aren't there for once... and then they screw up the materials on the MP.
I am exited to see how the Aotp Combaticons are gonna look.
I'm hoping they aren't on the stupid Combiner frame.

0:23 I mean let’s be real, when has anyone ever cared about the individual components outside of their combined form.
Just when I complete the MMC Bruticus MS starts releasing theirs...
I feel like this should have been titled 2rd Party Brawl as none of the are official MPs.
2:40
Actually, they use material called nylon to make their figures. Nylon is supposed to be slightly bendy and look and feel differently from regular abs, but it's less fragile and more durable
I knew that and they I brain farted and wrote Vinyl instead. But I'll take the L either way.
Ill give it flexible and durable, ive had one of these nylon toys almost have an arm pop out with the pin at a really weird angle, but i was able to put it back in without any damage to the toy. That said, I still dont trust the material, and the surface look is not great.
I dunno why but the Sparkless Seeker always gave me massive Skyquake vibes
I'm hoping this performs better than the MMC brawl review. ❤
I've only saying magic square should just do MP for how many years now, and here they are only proving me right
I've been right there with you this whole time.
Well I have been struggling on which MP scale Brawl to get and this helps. I am leaning towards the MMC because the bulk makes him look like by has a powerful presence. Thanks for helping my perspective perspective

MAGIC SQUARE!!!!! RAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m praying they just change their plastic and quality! Their designs are fucking GOLD!!! But they need to get their quality in gear.
The mmc is a leopard 1 and the magic square is traced art from a book about Tanks made in 1970 called Tank
Man, I live for Brawl him, and Swindle are the best of the Combaticons to me. I love how both look, and there are the only ones I still have from Combiner Wars' set of figures.

I LOVE Brawl,he is my favourite Combaticon, and i love me a big brawl thats not the size of a deluxe
I know right? I love Swindle as much as the next Guy, but Brawl was always the coolest to me.
For myself, personally, I’d go for hand feel over aesthetics any day, sure I got my figures on display, but I also enjoy messing with them, though how you described it these both are amazing figures, but I do love that the MMC not only has no parts forming aside from the back gun, but all the parts can store on deck in combined mode
Emgo's MS Brawl review shows his all store, too.
Magic square really needs to start releasing more MP scaled figures, they would be printing money
Looks like they are doing it.
The MMC really looks like an armored up version of the Magic Square.
Out of the box, i thought the MS Brawl was one of the best MP scale figures i ever handled. The sculpt, proportions, and articulation are impeccable. Then i transformed it, and decided to sell it and forget about collecting the rest of the team. The figure looks beautiful, and even feels nice in hand, but that transformation is just hateful for all the reasons outlined here. If they ever do a V2 with better tolerances and better tabs then Id be first in line.
Tell me, are you going to line up all five of the MS not-Combaticons in vehicle mode to recreate THAT shot from “B.O.T.”?
I'm so tempted to get the MP Magic Square Bruticus despite already having legends scale, just for having as many combaticons as I can.
So fun fact, my swindle was the same. He does have ratchet joints in the combined foot. For some reason they only started working but pushing the tilt to its maximum, then suddenly the ratchets work. Idk how that happened
I'd assume an assembly misalignment. By over extending the joint, you probably realigned things into the proper configuration.
contrary to what you said in the beginning, brawl is my favorite combaticon lol
Swindle Though
I feel like the MMC Brawl is the one to get if you want G1, but more detail, and MS is the perfect G1 figure for brawl.
Both are great, and I don’t know which one I like more
Where can I find a part separator like what you used when converting the MS into leg mode, currently using a knife
You can't. This is actually a Carved piece of Nylon that my brother gave to me when he quit his job making fixed wing aircraft. It used to be used to help Contour Carbon Fiber to the joints.
So if you want one you gotta carve it, cause they don't come this shape.
The MS barrel does push in for the combined mode so it isn't so long, and they fucked you on your swindle combine foot. Mine has good ratchets like my brawls foot
MS Brawl is made of the same thing Funko Pops are made of?
Every time you say “ms” I think of the disease.
Magic Square needs to account for paint on their figures when they do ise paint. I think all the tolerance issues come from paint.
Merry Christmas, My Liege!
First LIKE, given!
Merry soon to be Christmas Kind Jeets.
Both are really nice representations, though Q/C, and transformation will always win out for me. I do think the parts forming foot is an overall better, and stable design option.

I really hope they don't put them on a stupid frame like they did with Menasor, and now Supperion.
3:05 How did you do that?
in the end, it boils down to 2 things. preference and budget i suppose.
