I know I'm the same toy as before, but please buy me again. I'm so lonely.
Bruticus Maximus is the terrible and mighty combination of the five Combaticons. While he's both dumb and slow, few can stand up to his strength and nigh-impenetrable armor. He is made up of:
The Autobots have faced the Combaticons before, and even the mighty Optimus Prime is careful not to get blindsided by the immense Bruticus! Transformers Comic issue 2.3
Bruticus Maximus is a redeco of the EnergonBruticus Maximus/Destruction Team toys. He is composed of his five team members, with Onslaught forming his central body component while universal connection points allow the other four to serve as any arm or leg (with their Energon weapons forming hands and/or feet). He can also swap limbs with any other Energon combiner team molds. Bruticus Maximus was exclusively available at Target stores in the USA and at Zellers stores in Canada, and his components were not available separately, only in a combiner five-pack.
Like Superion, this toy was originally intended to be released as part of the 2008 Universe line as Generation 1Bruticus Maximus, but was ultimately only released in Universe packaging on non-US markets such as Singapore and Australia, whereas the USA and Canada got the toy in Revenge of the Fallen packaging instead.
There's an unofficial way to combine 2 sets of combaticons to create a "Double Bruticus". The result is quite intresting...File:Doublebru.jpgMe and ME again! Too much?
Notes
According to the instructions and packaging photos, Blast Off forms Bruticus Maximus's right arm, Vortex forms his left arm, Swindle forms his right leg, and Brawl forms his left leg. However, the layout of the figures in the packaging moves all his limbs one position counterclockwise (as seen from the front). Because his limbs are all interchangeable, you can have it either way! Or neither way!
