Ocular Max ASSAULTUS (Bruticus): EmGo's Transformers Reviews N' Stuff

[@wolfeslayer0489]

I want to see Planet X make the Fall of Cybertron Bruticus

[@DecepticonBruticus]

Same

[@Jfigs94]

GOD I would love to see that! My favorite form of Bruticus!

[@The_realJesus]

Yes!!!

[@ironthanos2190]

In the words of of Beast Wars Megatron: YESSSS

[@Camdaltron27]

Yes

[@ShinGallon]

This set is phenomenal. I've never spent this much on a single figure set and probably never will again, but Bruticus is my favorite combiner and I HAD to get these after watching your Fraudo review. They're all so good looking in every mode, the boxes are great, everything about them just screams quality. I haven't gotten around to replacing the shoulder ratchet yet but I need to because I still haven't combined them yet.

[@winterwolf2164]

Looks more proportionally accurate when the legs aren’t extended too. Good looking figure; good review.

[@davidez4640]

It seems pretty obvious to me that the legs are supposed to be collapsed, that extra joint makes no sense and it makes the bot less stable

[@fernandoflores3161]

The same applies to Feral Rex.

[@balthazer]

Both Toyworld Constructor and Zeta’s combiners have abs crunches with the help of their parts forming pieces.

[@cameronmoriarty3313]

Thank you for taking the time to address the upgrade kit at the beginning of the video so we (those who care) can enjoy the video without wondering.

[@spritemon98]

There's definitely a ton of stuff I love about this combiner. The way they all combine together is neat and the way everything is stored on the bots. I especially love how the combined hands are built into the bots themselves

[@Asher_Tye]

Wonder what part Swindle's mind played in Bruticus's decision to switch over to Megatron.

[@bagusadjie4522]

when money is at stake...the whole part...

[@shoken4421]

Nah more like star scream didnt prove he could lead the combaticons. megatron on the other hand screams serve me.

The part that plans on knocking Megatron out and selling him on e-bay.

[@DraconixMahvri]

Sho Ken I’m...Pretty sure that theres actually a THING like Chinese poster or something of Megs that says “OBEY ME.”

[@tfdude4891]

I'm really curious how they'll handle Groove when they do Defensor. I'm worried his motorcycle mode will be really compromised in order to get the foot built in. I'll still probably buy them all, though. I need a beefy bot to go against Assaultus.

[@Raziel312]

I was thinking about getting the Make Toys Defensor, now I'm thinking maybe I should hold off .

[@electrobuster5483]

maybe we might get a rook cause he really did make a good leg

[@tfdude4891]

@@electrobuster5483 Nah, they're doing G1. A mock-up revealed a while back shows Groove as a leg, not Rook.

[@electrobuster5483]

TFDUDE I know but, yah gotta admit Room made a good leg and better sense. G1 does that to yah

[@kahne_kustoms]

My KZbin app crashed right before he unveiled the BLOOSH. “He can do a big ol double-“ *App Crashes*

[@thestigsdutchcousin]

So basically, a big ol double... "CRAAAAAAAAAAAAASH!!!"

[@okamithewanderingwolf172]

It was too powerful for your mortal phone

[@KewneRain]

This is a beautiful modernization of Bruticus. If this had been a thing in G1 it would have probably out-sold every single other combiner. I think it's taller than the Warbotron KO I have (yes, I went the cheap route then painted it up)

[@antiseize11]

Man I don't blame you, being how so expensive these combiners be.

[@KewneRain]

@@antiseize11 I would have felt bad about painting figures that were like $80usd a shot (more now they're out of production). $20usd though? Go for it.

[@markcastellanet9672]

This is a true masterpiece combiner.

[@randylajara6542]

I have to say that I like how smooth the combining ports looks. Not super complicated like others there.

[@rapcom]

This is the only combiner that is so satisfying to watch with those built-in no parts forming hands or feet.

[@ShadowMagnus]

"Money talks....Bruticus, shoots" XD made me laugh

[@jgvillan01]

LOL. Megatron, the master of having the last word! HA!

[@MonoEyedNutJob]

Bruticus is probably my favorite combiner out of all of them (except maybe the constructicons) and its a shame he will never get an official figure of this sort of quality

[@chrisquibell6434]

This is the first combine mode I've seen with an Ab crunch

[@balthazer]

Toyworld and Zeta’s combiners do have ab crunch with the help of their part forming.

[@balthazer]

V Jin true. But an ab crunch is still an ab crunch😉

[@youtbw]

G1 Abominus has an ab crunch

[@Raziel312]

I see Emgo put Vortex's insignia on his shoulder. I thought about doing that myself, but the fact that it ended up upside down in helicopter mode bugged me too much. So I ended up applying decals more in accordance to the original toy. That is to say, one insignia on the chest, and on on either side of the tail in vehicle mode.

Hasbro better be taking notes on this one.

[@Radi0ActivSquid]

My first introduction to combiners was with Beast Wars Magnaboss and Tripredacus. Everything with them was all built in. This is why I love this set so much. No partsforming. Nothing popping into or out of existence.

[@Asher_Tye]

Oh there are so many fun poses a combiner with an ab crunch can be used for...

[@harryruffin1548]

Now this combined mode is awesome and the upgrade kit makes it even better

[@Joeyz1231]

Love your Bruticus voice EmGo. Keep up the good work!

[@emgo316]

Thanks! Will do!

[@butterflykatana]

I can not get over how huge he is or the other combiners are of the modern age. I had him and the other G1's minus Computron and that small pretender one Decy-con? No way would I have had the room for them all now that size. Congrats to all that do. :)

[@tfpshockwave5810]

This is by far my favorite bruticus figure, i have the g2 paint version and they really improved those joints. Tight bug not too tight, easily holds himself up in various poses with ease

[@Mr.Funk92]

I really hope they do a ruination repaint!

[@ratbat1072]

Theyll have to remold all their chests

[@solbadguy9025]

Same here.

[@ajhill5094]

They did an awesome job on these guys. It's like a combiner that made no compromises for being a combiner. All the individual bots are awesome, then the combiner is just as posable

[@Dragokaiju2000]

Yo, TFC Toys are gonna release a Third party take on the G1 Terrorcons. Already excited! XD

[@fernandoflores3161]

Yes!!! Unfortunately Emgo is not getting them :( Their cousin company CangToys is making Predaking!

I love this set. I have two and I can't wait to get the other three. Such an amazing set. Thanks for the review Emgo!

[@jakejager]

Dooooood! This is the best looking Bruticus I've ever seen! Dang I wish it wasn't so expensive :(

[@GibDozer1]

Definitely, I picked up the UT one on a deep discount about a year ago. This set looks miles better imo, but I cant justify the price tag to switch up. Still an impressive piece.

[@jakejager]

@@GibDozer1 not gonna lie, if a KO comes out I'll probably get that... I've no doubt they'd sell more if they could get the price down...same with Tamara ;)

[@fernandoflores3161]

The good stuff isn't cheap.

[@OmbraPhoenix]

Really liked this. Along with Warbotron Bruticus.

[@syazwanali7094]

Great vid Emgo. I think i will wait for MMC to do a few re-releases so that they can iron out the small problems Assaultus has. This to me is probably the best iteration of G1 Bruticus. A definite buy for me in the near future

[@catandogclone7880]

Easily a Masterpiece Bruticus, hopefully masterpiece begins doing combiners.

[@akmalfakhruddin7285]

they are doing mp raiden tho. Takara that is

[@catandogclone7880]

malmalias s I didn’t watch the Japanese extension of g1 so it’s not a combiner that I’m interested in.

[@Xenobears]

I have the Assaultus Regenesis on preorder, can’t wait to get my hands on it! I also had the G2 version of Hasbro’s Bruticus as a kid (didn’t manage to keep him, unfortunately). So, the Regenesis set will be a massive nostalgia-gasm for me.

[@bernhardwall6876]

One of the things I liked most about the G1 Protectobots that I had in the '80s is switching them around between arm and leg modes. I'm a little disappointed that you can't do that with this Bruticus, nor with the upcoming Defensor, I expect.

[@GibDozer1]

I love how G1 toy accurate this set looks. I do think it's much better with the upgrade set though. Really amazed that MMC pulled this off so well. The only real sacrifice I see in combined mode is the hands. Not being able to splay the fingers out on a figure this big is definitely a drawback. Overall the best Combaticons/Bruticus to date imo, especially since I prefer this scale to the Zeta.

[@davidez4640]

Just a note, toyworld Devastator and zeta Bruticus and Superion all have ab crunch as well. Sure, they use partsforming torso but they do have it.

[@lostalone1271]

Everything stores on the figure, fantastic!

[@Papai_Pai]

I like the way your Megatron has a bit of wear and tear on the paint it means you must use him a lot

[@arielcordero]

I woke up this morning with my blood pressure a bit high. After watching (and laughing my butt off) that big "BLOOOOOOSH!" My chakras realigned themselves. 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

[@XxNuuruhuinexX]

[@dr.bright6272]

0:41 alright! We'll call this a draw!

[@shanealfhaim1230]

Ni

[@danielledoerr7727]

I'm really digging the toon accurate look on mine as well. I went one step further and kept all the fiddly bits(antennas and gun) off of Brawl in combined mode. Looks slot cleaner that way.

[@andrewjacobsen5446]

HEAD ARTICULATION MOD!! I just got my Incursus in today and am excited to share my discovery on how to make it so he can look down. When in combined mode, completely take off the Bruticus head (like you would when swapping for the upgraded head.) Then fold Bruticus chest back over onslaughts head and fold into the back, putting onslaughts head area into robot mode. Next, all you do is turn onslaughts head 180 degrees so his head is facing backwards, then open the back and fold Bruticus chest back out to put back into combined mode. So the bracket that held the Bruticus head is again around onslaughts backward head. Finally, turn onslaughts head back 180 degrees to look forward again and now snap back on Bruticus head. Now he is able to look down if needed. The two downsides to doing this it that he cannot look up as much as before and you’ll have to take the head off to reverse this in order to go back into robot and vehicle modes. Cheers!

[@elandraxe]

Great vid as per usual, and I think you're the best TF reviewer, period. It's your review of Impetus that made me jump into this set, and I don't regret it at all . Thx ! Ps there's a liitle abcrunch on the Zeta Bruticus

[@pipbuciojr833]

love the blooooosssshhh!!!! really waited for that but also the combining!

[@fonivri]

I live what ocular max did w this figure. It shows the beauty of a transfotmer

[@TransDrummer1312]

Zeta Superitron and ToyWorld Constructor both have ab crunches, but they’re not integrated into the main figures and they’re a bear to use, as the joint is extremely tight on both.

[@ismaelreyna5399]

All the ZetaToys combiners have an ab crunch. Iron Factory's DJD combiner also has one.

[@Radi0ActivSquid]

Combaticons! We need to take control of this ship! Combine to form Bruticus!

[@404cp]

That strange feeling when the little jeep is as big as a tank, a transport helicopter, and the freaking space shuttle!

[@lightningboy7099]

Bruticus was actually my first combiner figure.

[@Rippley_fan]

Mine was Predaking. Bruticus is really cool though

[@The_DerpGamer]

Mine was combiner wars bruticus

[@TheRockLlama]

@@Rippley_fan I'm a little jealous. Predaking was my favorite but i never had him/them. My first was Superion.

[@The_DerpGamer]

@@glenngriffon8032 Bruticus is my favorite because he knocked Devastator on his butt twice the first time he combined.

[@tfdude4891]

Same, though technically mine is one of the RID Ruination repaints.

[@FruityGroovy]

I'm not sure if I would categorize this as a Masterpiece combiner, since it ends up being shorter than a lot of combiners that fit the Masterpiece scale better. It would probably make a good substitute for a Combiner War Bruticus, though.

[@Freak80MC]

My only issue is his feet are way too small, but the fact that that is the only major glaring issue in a combiner with everything included inside the figures, no partsforming needed, really says something about the engineers who made this!

[@edwardjacobs4042]

Love the bloooooosh and looks good. I like it the way you put it because he was short anyway great video

[@joshuana5132]

There's one Bruticus that I'm surprised wasn't in this comparison. Forgot its name though. It was basically edit pieces that were meant to upgrade the individual transformers with more armaments and the combined form. Forgot its name.

[@shadowmyster1727]

Good pleasant review as always. 👍 imo tho, tho all the different from modes look great, i feel like his combined mode n vehicle modes r definitely NOT mp scaled. They look too small. However, their robot modes scale PERFECTLY wit the mp scale. Which is kinda odd for a combiner. Kinda reminds me of dx9's rodimus prime scale.. his bot mode also scales perfectly but his vehicle mode was totally too small. Guess thats a price of all in 1s?🤔 idk where imma display mines. Probably stand alone like studio cells unicron.

[@FruityGroovy]

I'm not sure if it is the first, but I know it's not the only one. Toyworld Constructor also has an ab crunch.

[@greygremlin1248]

About time they made a masterpiece that's not complicated

[@harryruffin1548]

And no, this is not the first combiner to have an ab crunch. The zeta toys superion had an ab crunch, I don’t know if that was the first but it was before this one.

[@bobagorof]

I can't help but see Onslaught's fists bunched up against the torso and see them as little T-rex arms...

Unless you get the upgrade kit. That gun definitely falls into compensating territory. Edit: I got the set with the kit and love it.

[@spadekun9899]

I know it only happened in his first episode but I was kind of hoping they were going to include a back plate with the three dots on it. From what I remember that was his only weak spot until it was destroyed. I think it would have been a cool accessory to include. But not too many people look at figures from the back anyway.

[@ShinGallon]

That was covered by the backpack with the cannons, Onslaught had removed it to connect it to the space bridge in the episode. It would be a neat reference to have had it worked into Onslaught's back though.

[@spadekun9899]

Solka, It has been a while since I saw the episode. Always remember someone shooting in the back with the three dots and him separated that's really one of bruticus stand out thing I remember. But I might not be remembering that correctly either, I have to go back and watch it again.

[@coldfirecreative8028]

Idea for making Brawl easier to lock down when combining. Rotate the turret aside so it is out of the way for the brief moment needed to get the tabs lined and locked down.

[@emgo316]

Can’t. When you rotate the turret it knocks the tabs out of alignment.

[@ChaoticTeen16]

I'd love a Robots in Disguise (Car Robots) Ruination Repaint of this set.

[@Camdaltron27]

On swindle and brawl the extra pieces look like support struts to help move in combined mode and to keep stability like a big bot
