Coming from someone who actually owns Constructicon Maximus, the "crane elbows" aren't how you might think. They actually kinda suck because the articulation's I say too fragile to be worth it. Especially since upon it's arrival in the mail maybe 2+ years ago the purple Decepticon logo literally rubbed off instantly before I could transform him. Though, I had a high school friend who had Superion Maximus
Lost my mirage down a playground slide when I was 6. DEVISTATED. I STILL won't throw away my kids toys, or hesitate to pick them out of the grass before I mow.
Ok I'm going to be serious here, these figures and the combiner, are so good. Like I don't have them but they seem like figures that would fit with the bayformers and the new WFC figures. Like you can't deny that they aren't fucking cool
Don't worry. Things should open up here in Ontario. And as an aside, if you want to PM me, I have Construction Maximus in a storage box somewhere that I'd be willing to at the very least lend for a review if you've the need. In fact I've got about 5 terry totes of figures still packed up from my move that I'm not sure I'll ever have the place to display, so just let me know what you're looking for.
The movie set was nice to get all the figures in one pack but the energon figures had better colours but both are good. I just have the barricade and the full superion maximus but I would love to get all 3 combiners but Canadian shopping for old stuff is brutal
The original Energon colors were definitely better, but to go even further, you can get what I belive to be the best energon *Bruticus* by using the red A10 from Superion to be Blast off, and the yellow bulldozer from Devestator/Constructicon to be Swindle. The green tank and darker helicopter being Brawl and Vortex.
I think that this toy is fabulous, particularly because the colouration serves the ROTF Combaticons well. On top of that, Energon molds, and Unicron Trilogy molds in general, have such charm. I own two of the three "Maximus" combiner molds, one being Energon Constructicon Maximus and the other being ROTF Superion, and this is the only one that I'm missing. From everything I've seen, I vastly prefer the ROTF colouration for the Combaticons rather than the Energon colouration for the Destruction Team from Energon. I think that this combiner is definitely the next portion for me. Also, just because I've seen people criticizing it here, I just love the orange Energon chips and weaponry! It definitely detracts from the realistic aesthetic that they were going for, but in the end, it makes them look a lot cooler in my opinion. Anyways, great toy, and great review, man!
bought this guy years ago. Saw the add on kit with swindle and blast-off, considered buying it but it was $100. I only just got some cash so I held it off. Came next week and it was gone. Pretty rough.
I have that Japan exclusive Megatron! It's an alright figure, hope his sword doesn't warp like mine did, it took me quite a while to get it straightened out.
Yea, this figure is old. But not gonna lie, it still look's cool. Especially this version color sceme. And as for your "lack of Elbows".. Yea, but what should we expeckt from a toy relist back from 2003. And as for "Constucticon Maximus is better" well, let's just say it depends... Like The crane trucks from that set are like helicopter cons from this set. Aka good robot modes, but crapy altmodes.
I'm still trying to get my hands on ROTF bruticus with the 1st release of Fans Project Explorer and Munitioner as well as a 3d printed upgrade for the energon brawl figure off from Shapeways
Hey toy guy, i want you to respond me to a question. Do you know any other sites that sell older sealed Transformers other than tf toys.ca? Cuz im not canadian and i cant find something related to that.
I honestly feel bad for the Unicron trilogy fans barley getting toys while hasbro and takara pumps out G1 and bayverse toys.
Rumors have it unicron trilogy designs are coming back in an upcoming line!
Yeah! I’m very excited for Armada stuff
And they also ruined the prime designs in legacy
A year later and we're finally getting some Unicron trilogy toys. But also ARMADA PRIME
@@therailfanman2078 DAMN YOU G1
i feel like his upgrade kit was the patient zero of changing the third party transformers toy world
ALL HAIL LORD WARPOOTH!
I just Got Mine Yesterday, It's Awesome! I Do Wish It Cane With a Gun Intead Of A Shield Tho.
What is this? Some kind of religion?
dude when he snuck in Lord Warpooth i started to laugh
@@felixkrowicki3548 yes it is
Amen!
Love the whole "going for realism" deco, and they make the weapons bright orange/red clear plastic. 👌
I feel like these combiner Bruticus Maximus needs a Legacy figure
@@drakedy2145they should not give the tanks and helicopters a robot mode since it doesn't transform in the sh.w anyways
@@arnelanat3578 true
Ya know I was a little on the fence with your takes on Generations, but then I realized it doesn’t matter cause we all love transformers.
Also counted as Universe Bruticus Maximus (aka G1 Bruticus) just like ROTF Superion Maximus. So they would go well with Classics Devastator Maximus
This is a cool reimagining of an old combiner.
Always wanted this guy but never got him, heard his upgrade kits were the first greats of 3rd party

I never thought I'd see these toys that I had ever again...
1:02 PTSD flash backs of loosing generations rat trap in a barbor shop
Ohhh nnooooooooooooooooooooooo
Why did you bring rattrap to a barber shop?

You weren't allowed to bring "one toy" with you when your parents took you on errands?
@@cormacgaming2602 sometimes I do but it's only to places where I know I wont lose them, otherwise they stay in the car
People: Bruticus Maximus
Me, an intellectual: Gluteus Maximus
Before anyone asks, I have him and he's great :P
Hello from my favorite transformers RUclips besides strawberry the Hogi the hog Job
S w i v e l
Reminds me of the Iron Factory War Giant set (if you have that or the Catastrophe version, PLEASE review them)
Bruticus maximize!
Ok I'm going to be serious here, these figures and the combiner, are so good. Like I don't have them but they seem like figures that would fit with the bayformers and the new WFC figures. Like you can't deny that they aren't fucking cool
I've noticed that the tank guys get knocked off quite a bit for some reason. Maybe that's why you get that bootleg feeling from them
prob
Just got him and the fansproject upgrades, all complete, for 135usd, it's INSANE how good it is with the uprgades, my new favourite figure honestly
I used to own energon onslaught and he was such a good figure as a kid. I miss him
Had this as a kid lol, never knew how to combine them, only played with Blast off
Old leader size, yeah I felt that
Don't worry. Things should open up here in Ontario.

It looks ok besides the gun hands and feet and and swindle being a freaking helicopter
Love your vids keep it up
I still really want this guy. Found one in an online shop for 44$ and got sold immediately. Guess I'll get the superion then.
You're pretty good at what you do. I tried reviewing once on my channel never blew up so I just went back to streaming Apex Legends
Apex is great fun
@@ThatToyGuy I didn't know you liked Apex well then I need to get the Wi-Fi back soon now cuz I want to stream again
Bruticus Maximus really looks incomplete without the addon kits by Fansproject.
Some scouts wrap around a deluxe... good times
I have Superion Maximus with a mix of Energon and ROTF bots, including 2 air raids and the arms mistransformed to give him elbows
The movie set was nice to get all the figures in one pack but the energon figures had better colours but both are good. I just have the barricade and the full superion maximus but I would love to get all 3 combiners but Canadian shopping for old stuff is brutal

While they were released during Revenge of the Fallen, they were originally released/intended to be released as part of the Universe line.

Man I bought this guy specifically for the fansproject sets. Still my favorite Bruticus!
I know its a year plus since this was posted but you can untab the tank treads and rotate them to give this dude actual arms
God damn you for making me want this again
bought this guy years ago. Saw the add on kit with swindle and blast-off, considered buying it but it was $100. I only just got some cash so I held it off. Came next week and it was gone. Pretty rough.
These could be pretty good legends figure stand in
This repaint is so good. I still have the original, half in robot mode half in alt modes
The tanks have waist swivels. They were tight on mine.
I have that Japan exclusive Megatron! It's an alright figure, hope his sword doesn't warp like mine did, it took me quite a while to get it straightened out.
I have this set and the fansproject plus the shadowfisher upgrade to that set and then i switched out rotf onslaught for the energon barrage
If you get the fans project kits you get a better version of swindle and blast off
the tanks do have waist joints
If they do mine are stiff as hell. They do not turn on mine
The legs on the choppers are meant to be air intakes
I have the supirion one and it sucks I have the bruticus one to but it is in the box and it just looks better in the box
Yea, this figure is old. But not gonna lie, it still look's cool. Especially this version color sceme.
And as for your "lack of Elbows"..
Yea, but what should we expeckt from a toy relist back from 2003.
And as for "Constucticon Maximus is better" well, let's just say it depends...
Like The crane trucks from that set are like helicopter cons from this set. Aka good robot modes, but crapy altmodes.
I'm still trying to get my hands on ROTF bruticus with the 1st release of Fans Project Explorer and Munitioner as well as a 3d printed upgrade for the energon brawl figure off from Shapeways
Thanks fotthis review.
I enjoy this generation of combiners, janky as they are
Still have these guys. Great figures!
Although im not a bruticus guy I might get the rotf superion because I like the colors better then the og energon one.
Blast off forms into right arm keep vortex as a left arm
I really didn’t like the look of this figure, so I sold mine brand new on eBay not too long ago, wonder if you maybe bought it from me 😂
Hey toy guy, i want you to respond me to a question. Do you know any other sites that sell older sealed Transformers other than tf toys.ca? Cuz im not canadian and i cant find something related to that.
Edit: its a pain.
Well shit
why are some of them the same vehicle, why cant they go for there G1 counterpart Vehicles??
I’m gonna buy this dude now
They should add this in the Michael bay movie
Old toys > New toys
Hears they are a fellow ontario dweller instasub
You can leave Impactor’s head out when transforming him
Awesome dude
I’d show a picture but RUclips doesn’t slow that
Cameo by our Lord and Savior, almighty Warpooth!
ALL HAIL LORD WARPOOTH
I have the superior maximus, I love it
Where does he get those figures?
Where can I buy these
I like these guys
WARPOTH
I thought that was energon Barricade
Did you ever get construction maximus?
Does anyone know where to buy these for a good price? Like 90 and under complete.
And two more things swindle as the right leg and brawl it's a left leg
The hands and feet are too weird for me to be okay with.
Sup
it's Not onslaught it's barricade
Wish i had these.
Update: On their way from Australia 🎉
5:03 Who's the little guy on the left?
fansproject Causality Warcry
£100 is not cheap for this dude
I wonder if combiner wars hands and feet work as replacements
Probably not.
@@Cheese_Man1 there's always 3d printing
And fansproject
@@Cheese_Man1 yeah true they still making the upgrade kit tho ?
Probably not
