Especially if you get the Perfect Effect hand/foot it for him.

Bruticus is incredible. I managed to snag a Fruiticus off amazon today. Time to buy two sets of PE addons. Black for both is probably the best call, yeah?

They're all good. Devastator is much much bigger than the rest.

Bruticus maybe, but Devastator is really good too. So I was just going through some older TFs that I don't have on display and I took out DOTM Skids and Mudflap. I kinda pity-bought them at like 75% discount but playing with them again... jesus Christ these are some unbelievable piece of poo poo figures. I mean even IF you liked the character design these toys are awfully designed, and I happen to like a lot of DOTM toys. Seriously I felt like taking a hammer and smashing them, they're that terrible. Mudflap is a tiny bit more decent but motherfucking Skids doesn't even have knees unless you mistransform him. They're utter garbage.

I find the big green guy to be boring and way too fixated on by the fandom but because he's not meant to be compatible with other combiners (and he costs a bit more) he's way better in combined mode.

Yep, I'll agree that Devastator is the best combiner overall, and Bruticus is the best of the "regular" guys. But then Defensor is pretty much the same as Bruticus with different colors and a few different limbs, so if you have an Autobot preference he works too.

Yeah Onslaught is a way more capable torso than Hot Spot. I can't manage to get Defensor to pose in a way that doesn't look clunky or dorky or anything

My Titan Returns Fort Max showed up yesterday. I think he's a big fat mess of meh to be honest. His legs are a pain in the rear end and feel very hollow. He's missing all the charm and little things that make the original so enjoyable. So much just feels wasted. Cerebros is really the main highlight. He's a good figure. All in all, I wish I had saved my money honestly.

Is there a trick to getting TT Wheelie's legs to slot into those little tabs on his thigh area in vehicle mode? They don't seem to want to stay attached at all and it kind of ruins his alt mode. I really want to love this guy but between this and his floppy joints I'm leaning toward disappointed

To me he just feels too much like Metroplex is playing pretend dress up in a half baked Fort Max costume.

Yeah, sorry, it's the one Spiderdrake mentioned earlier. You can have the wings up G1ishly too. I like a lot of the warrior class guys, I just feel they should cost a tiny bit less than a generations deluxe to feel worth it in a lot of cases.
