Re: Opposite Opinion!
With all this talk about the Bruticus add-on fixing the crappy Energon molds, it has sparked a opposite opinion in me...
I have always liked the Energon Bruticus team and I don't know why all the hate, apart from reusing molds for the arms and legs. If it's a colour issue, I wouldn't know because I bought the Super Link version.
Barricade: Weird Leia hair, lack of weapon, and visible head in alt mode are the only draw backs, I find. I think both modes look cool and robot mode has great articulation even compared to today's Transformers.
Tank Guys: Doesn't have the standard barrel in front design but looks like a cool kinda artillery type vehicle (I don't know anything about tanks). And has a cool, well armed, and poseable robot mode.
Helicopter Guys: Acceptable looking alt and robot modes.
Bruticus: Best looking of the three Combiner team torsos. Tank Guys make perfectly fine legs and excellent arms, thanks to the legs becoming elbows for Bruticus. Helicopter Guys make crappy legs, but dude, Bruticus has actual hands and they're like, machine gun hands!
Maybe one of the reasons for all the hate is the lousy hands and feet. But I give it a pass because of the versatility of being part of the alt mode, weapon in robot mode, and appendage in combined mode. They are not extra parts only used in combined mode and otherwise stored in a little baggy when not in use.
For the record, this is the only one of the three combiners I really like. Superion is crap, period. Devastator is cool except for the shovel blocking his left side and those dumb claw arm guys that just sux.
Note: Too many names, I only ever remember the names of the team leader and combined mode. I could of went to tfwiki and looked up the names but meh.
