G1 BRUTICUS: EmGo's Transformers Reviews N' Stuff

[@batoyskiworld5377]

I thought I'll gonna hear him saying this while reviewing Vortex: "He's--he's not Alpha Bravo." 😄 Miss that gag.. 😄

[@emjay2586]

Definitely not Alpha Bravo (This time)

[@ricardorios4403]

Batoyski World, tsk yep

[@ausar9546]

Bruticus is my favorite deception combiner. I loved watching him in the g1 show

[@ZZtheDark]

Same here. Love this dude and how Starscream introduced him.

[@deang5386]

Bruticus and Menasor are two of my favourites from Combiner Wars. Glad we got updated versions

[@richardbiggs2098]

Bruticus is still my favorite combiner. I have 11 different versions of him.

[@oliviawilliams6204]

That a lot of combaticons hehe. Me it’s Skywarp I have a bunch of versions

[@ryanballs7808]

So lucky

[@DaveAE2005]

I'm a fan of the original constructicons. The first time I saw them I was amazed lol

[@Isolder74]

You should go hang out with Thew.

[@griffinkimball2454]

Bruticus happens to be my favorite too. But that is almost dedinitely because of Fall of Cybertron.

[@glace-pikachufan1011]

I like how onslaught is ridiculously bigger than all the other combaticons

[@bengoetz649]

Holy crap! I used to binge watch your videos when I was younger. It brings me a lot of joy to see that you’re still posting. Best wishes in the future! :)

[@iand.1752]

Maaaan, I miss my G1 Blast Off. I lost him in a cemetery, of all places.

The RID 2001 anime had Armorhide face the other way with the turret at the back. Those models were more toy accurate.

[@garryghastopulous9722]

Wow keep up the good work! I hope to see more G1 from you Emgo!

[@myoldhandlewasmadewheniwas9]

Also, probably said earlier, but Vortex can stand easier when you slide his hips and waist back along that trench under his back. Lastly, I'd suggest tightening Brawl's knees, as it looks like that's the cause of the leaning

[@TonySpike]

Could be .....or he could just flip down onslaughts arms ...because thats why hes not balanced

[@myoldhandlewasmadewheniwas9]

@@TonySpike Except he's supposed to have his arms out like that. The chest plate has two tabs that plug into the shoulder joints that would just push against the front of the shoulders if they were down

[@blaster3763]

I had the ruination version of these guys. I always liked the name ruination and onslaught's rid name "mega-octane"

[@WolfgangNightmare]

I had this guy, but my was KO version in other colours, and i was so excited of this one, thanks for the nostalgia, Emgo, love your reviews

[@Mr.Marvelprime66]

Onslaughts ramp mode looks like a futuristic tank thing of murder death

[@Toa_Protos]

I've really been digging these throwback reviews! If I may, I'd love to see you review any/all of the other G1 Combiner teams like Predaking or Abominus if you own them?

[@emgo316]

I reviewed my G1 predaking a long time ago.

[@boilerfan18]

Why are you making fun of Blastoff's hands. Those look totally normal.

[@what2k]

ya

[@thesixesofthegun7104]

Out of all the combiners this one's my favorite

[@NinjabillReviews]

These are so good, I luv that you are taking a look back at these awesome figures.

[@thabuloodles9209]

You really feeling yourself emgo Great review again

[@rainbowpegacornstudios]

Imagine the Combaticons singing this: "I don't know, but I've been told: Optimus Prime is full of mold. Megatron is ruler of all galaxies. Starscream's Null Rays make me sneeze" Or something like that.

[@megatron8449]

Idk why, but they reminded of a song from mgr:r.

[@Intecris]

Since my childhood I had a tiny gray plastic gun and had no clue what it was from, until I got to the segment of this video featuring Brawl (who also happens to be my favorite combaticon) and whoop-de-doo, that's what it is! It's neat to find out I've had an antique toy accessory in a LEGO bin for the better part of 2 decades xD

[@myriadmediamusings]

Ah my favorite combiner, Bruticus the Dudeicus.

[@cosmicboi1650]

Smooth 👌

[@MRWICKEDGUNS]

X-Transbots - MX-16 Overheat is available now

[@nurseroister0223]

nice! more G1 reviews please! headmasters and targetmasters would be much appreciated =) !!!

[@animemangafan1987]

Bruticus had 3 dots on his back as his weak point in the G1 cartoon

[@man-bagdammit2297]

For the time they were released (1986) they were really fantastic toys! I still have mine! They cant possibly be compared to what they can make today! The G1 Transformers have a charm that nothing released since has!

[@brainspider]

Loving these G1 Combiner reviews, give us more please!

[@thunderrobots1980s]

you do know that vortex's legs slide forward and back

[@emgo316]

already been told

[@wonderwaffle93]

Loving these combined vids! I Still have the TF Universe Ruination! Heck and before that I had the 2000 repaints of Bruticus (Blast Off, Vortex and Swindle!) He was technically my first and actual Combiner! Well, I did have Prime and the others he could combine with in Armada but still, something enjoyable about a full out G1 combined is always great~

[@benjohnson4676]

I've already got G1 Bruticus, what I've ordered on EBay about 3 years ago. Probably love it.

[@nathandamaren2093]

Reminds me of mega octane, roll bar, brawl, rotor and movor (who together form ruination) from the 2001 ENG Transformers R.I.D. I now see they were a straight up repaint and rename of of the g1 combaticons. 2001 Transformers rid was the first transformers i remember watching as a kid (5 at the time). My first transformer i got as a kid was x-brawn. Used to have optimus, combaticons and scourge. Still have the autobot brothers, build team, ultra magnus and brawl in various states of missing/broken/yellowing pieces. Ah the nostalgia, thank you for a video reminding me of a well enjoyed childhood, i salute you sir o7.

[@f.d.english5080]

I loved Blast off as a kid (and still) but never understood why he was a part off the team

[@cosmicboi1650]

I think he's a combat shuttle, but I'm not entirely sure

[@JoybuzzerX]

While I prefer him as a jet, like in combiner wars, the idea with him in G1 was blasting enemies from space. Of course, one would think that makes it hard to combine.

[@peace4myheart]

Space Force

[@jimvac77]

He was magically created from a corroded WWII bomber once Starscream installed a "personality matrix". So of course he's a space shuttle, because G1, dammit! Lol

[@eggroll5510]

Blast off is a low altitude shuttle. Basically just an airplane that flies almost in space but not quite

[@cyberserfer2000]

I loved having bruticus growing up.Back then he was amazing.And then came predaking.

[@nine_tails137]

I've been eyeing the alternate colored ones that make Ruination from Car Robots(aka: Robots in Disguise 2001), but I'm still kinda pissed that Hasbro did NOT release them as a complete set. Seriously! I remember picking up combiner characters of Superion Maximus, Bruticus Maximus, and Constructicon Maximus from my local Zellers(back when that store was still around), and I NEVER found all the parts to each figure, because of that "Sold Separately" BS Hasbro did.

[@petspeoplestuff]

So many fond memories of Bruticus. I want to buy that 3p set that has all the parts built-in.

[@CreativeNameSMH]

[@aarononeil9832]

Part of me a little sad the ridiculous combined weapon wasn't touched on but that's probably just 'cause I don't have all the weapons anymore and I just wanna live vicariously through videos 😂

[@lividbandit180]

Likin' the g1 stuff, Bruticus was always my favorite.

[@napalmdex440]

I had all of these when I was younger. Been living in the USA since I was 28. Went back to the UK at Christmas and was going to bring these back with me.... Let's just say I must have played with them alot cuz they were not worth bringing back lol.

[@terrybullard2884]

Emgo you’re normally very thorough in your reviews. That’s why I am surprised that you didn’t mention that Onslaught and Motormaster’s base modes were designed to link with Trypticon‘ s city mode

[@emgo316]

I mentioned it when I reviewed g1 trypticon. so sorry to be such a major disappointment to you :(

[@terrybullard2884]

Not a disappointment. I really enjoy your reviews

[@feralstreamer3761]

Dont forget brawl has little mini fist sculpts!

[@pootis9106]

Blastoff is a penguin confirmed.

[@DzznuttsEniomouf]

Instead of a look at the packaging, we get a glimpse of the sparkling ice bottle Emgo has been drinking out of...? Yuck City.

[@Ray_Shabaz]

When I saw the thumbnail I thought it was a chibi Bruticus. I did not know it was a G1 figure

[@GameOmar7261]

I think the Decepticon combiners mean something. Combaticons - fight to destroy Constructicons - build to destroy Stunticons - racr and stunt to kill

[@jason7719]

Gotta slide Vortex's legs back to get him to stand up easier and it keeps his fist from hitting his leg in combine mode! Also when you have Brawl on backwards if you rotate his turret down the notch cut out of the back matches with his leg well. I think he was actually meant to go on that way

[@emgo316]

already been told

[@jason7719]

@@emgo316 Yeah not tryin to bash just wanna be somewhat helpful, sorry if it came across that way always enjoy the videos.

I knew this one was coming, and I'm glad!

[@BOB-fe2my]

How you have brawl with his cannon behind onslaught’s leg is how it’s supposed to be.

[@ragingsaviorkami9862]

Damn, I remember my brother getting a cheap knockoff figure of this Bruticus, was a bit cheaper plastic, and a bit differemt colouring, but it was the same mold, transformed the same, had some stickers on the chest... We had a blast transforming him, unfortunatelly didn't live long because we had a knack for breaking stuff haha, had many cheap KO Transformers as a kid I broke, we couldn't afford the original stuff, which is probably a good thing, because now as an adult with a job and my own monthly earning, I get to enjoy the figures properly without breaking them, and I get to enjoy the figures I wasn't able to as a kid. This brings back a lot of memories though.

[@doomslayerprime9749]

I really hope we get a reissue of him as a big fan of Bruticus and the Combaticons they are indeed and always will be my favorite combiner

[@TyphonMar]

I've always wanted a G1 Bruticus. Hopefully they do another reissue

[@shaldurprime7154]

vortex's waist can slide back, which helps with stability, im surprised you didn't notice the huge track in his butt when trying to find heel spurs

[@emgo316]

I really didn't LOL!

[@JuanGarcia-vh7zo]

It's Brawl's legs. Being folded up the way they have to, won't support the weight of Bruticus. They just want to keep opening up. I had the problem too.

[@KumoriBlackPhoenix]

im actually brought them back as repaints in the RID series years ago. at least they are faithful to the toys

[@combocat9444]

Bruticus Is a good combiner and i like transformers G1 Bruticus is cool.

[@darthdmc]

Got the RID version of this, and my "Vortex" is different when it comes to his legs - not loose, but tight. Using him as a leg bot is best avoided, because once the feet have been slid up, they lock tight, and I fear breaking him when trying to return him to robot mode.

[@DCStudio397]

Thanks to this video I just discovered that I have recolours (and it seems slightly remolded) of the G1 Combaticons. Sadly I never got Onslaught...

[@optimalhazza]

My favourite combiner, also, maybe the placement of Megatron's trigger is probably the actual reason he started the war, excuse the obvious pun, but he got triggered so badly, his mind just snapped.

[@DatHarlequinOni]

My introduction to this guy was Ruination in RID2001!

[@astr0man1ac29]

3:43 who you callin' pinhead?

[@TheAxelandx1]

On Vortex there is a sliding joint im the waist that pushes his legs back. I found that out last year when messing with my RID Ruination gang( had them for 15 years 😅)

[@emgo316]

I ended up going Edgy Boi on this set and I got the Urban Camo Ruination set. While I need to find 2 guns to fully finish the set, I'm honestly shocked how good these guys are for G1 molds!

Can you make Vortex and Blast Off the legs and Brawl and Swindle the arms too? I remember that the G1 Combaticons were repainted into the 2001 RiD Decepticons who combine into Ruination; and they sometimes show him having his limbs reversed.

Instead of rotating his shoulder joints to point backwards, I've always pointed them down. It widens out his torso a little, but I don't remember having the balance problem.
