So been a minute… I had to post this because well… HAIL MEGATRON!

Dang I don’t care what the Trolls, G1Whiners, and all the other punks… He looks awesome…

Additionally… It appears Nemesis Prime gets his a** kicked by Megatron and his “Knights…” Which here at Bruticus.net we are ALL ABOUT! We just cannot wait till we get a decent preview with “Onslaught” and his “Combaticons…” Seriously we had seen pictures, but it is time to see some actual footage please?! Or like many things did we get bay-canned!?

Check out the trailer!

Finally after months and months of waiting. A DECENT upgrade kit beyond what we can already get on Shapeways which is “ok” but requires tons of painting/sanding and filling to make it smooth like a normal toy. Least not forget trying to match up the paint colors…

This is from Bonnatron’s Tinkering and not related to the Beelzeboss’s version…

S.N.D. Primo Vitalis upgrade kit follows the look and feel of the current IDW comic book series. Even with this upgrades attached he is fully transformable, and is still able to combine with other  others!

He includes the following:

• 1x Gun
• 1x Sword
• 1x Axe
• 1x New Head
• 1x Combiner Mode Head
• 2x Shoulder Pads
• 1x Chest
• 1x New Waist
• 2x Extended Thighs
• 1x Pair of articulated hands.
• 2x New Feet

The Chosen Prime says he should be ready by November, but with all these things it really is hard to say if it will be here… So hopefully definitely by Christmas!

So a rather interestingly criticized MP-10 Optimus Prime is last years Year of the Horse Optimus Prime. I happened to buy him mostly because its rare to be able to buy ANY MP-10 for less than $150. Why you ask is he criticized? Well Gold paint… Transparent Trailer… Might as well have made him some gold chains to go around his neck and be 100% gangst!

Transformers Addicts Facebook group had a fan by the name Terry Binion share his changes to this figure and to be honest I think he looks better than the standard MP-10! In short all he did was painted all the gold parts “silver” and covered the autobot emblems with new stickers. The end result makes me want to take mine out of the box and paint over all that gold.

If your not following Skids Customs you need to be. While this site is relatively bias towards the Decepticons cause… We do however find room for Autobots especially ones like this!

Skids Customs was commissioned to take a MP-10 KO Ultra Magnus and convert him to a MP-10D Optimus Prime based on the Deceased Optimus Prime from Transformers the Movie (1986.) (The Cartoon also has him in a few episodes like this also.)

His goal was to make this Transformer look exactly like the cartoon with a cell shading effect. And let me say this is possibly the best custom paint job I have seen yet!

First here is a small interview:

– How long have you been customizing Transformers?

I have been customizing Transformers since 2013.

– When working with customers do you try to draft up on paper the vision or work directly on the figure?

When working with customers, they usually tell me what they want and I just go to work on the figure.

– What is your process when beginning a custom like this MP10 Optimus Prime?

I started with a fine tip sharpie marking areas where battle damage and cuts where going to be on the figure. First the head, cutting in the damage, sanding, cleaning and then painting. Then I moved on to each limb doing each one at a time and finally the torso. Each part was disassembled as much as possible before painting. No primer was used on this particular figure because the plastic already the color I needed it to be. Everything on this figure was painted by hand with a brush and finally clear coated with a brush also.

– What is your preferred brand of paints and type of paints?

I normally use Model Masters, Testors Enamels, Tamiya Acrylics and Vallejo Acrylics. This one was all Vallejo.

– Decepticon or Autobot? If you had to choose which side would you join?

Autobot all the way. I’m a huge Optimus Prime fan and have about 100-200 Optimus figures in my personal collection.

There you have it Skids Customs does commission custom work on Transformers and has a lot more on his Facebook page so go and check him out.

Combiner Wars Optimus Prime has received some of the most criticism for being really a overall terrible voyager figure. This year we received a Leader Class Megatron and Galvatron (Same mold.) But yet we only received a (ish) Voyager Optimus Prime that combines. This upgrade set from Beezleboss Studios brings the figure to a closer size of a Leader Class (no conformation yet…) However even still it looks incredible!

This is so far the second group / person I have seen to work on moding him. And let me say this one is the ONE!

So a ton of leaks have been happening all over the net, but finally we have something to REALLY see. To me this looks like an old fashioned combo button smasher.

The game looks great with the cell shaded renderings verse realistic rendering. Giving it a much more “cartoon” original G1 flare. Anyways check this trailer out!

Seibertron.com a fellow transformers fan page / group. Posted a few days ago a great picture of Ultra Magnus and several other Generations figures (I refuse to call them CHUGS.) It seems we are near complete in being able to have a completed 1986 movie with Generation/Classic Toy lines.

As I was imagining prior to getting leader class Ultra Magnus. Was that he would scale perfectly with other Deluxes/Voyagers.

Optimus Maximus appeared a while ago in a smaller glimpse and has now appeared in full all over the net. He is said to be part of Wave 4 that is already on preorder for most of the online retailers.

Daim Choc shared with us a recent find that is quiet impressive. Metroplex and legends scale figures. These includes: Ultra Magnus, Optimus Prime, Blurr, Ratchet, and more…

So ya I do not think I can get enough of this guy. He is definitely high up on my list of “buy on sight.” This set of pictures is by: Free 自在山 (Comfortable Mountain). Thanks to Daim Choc for spotting the pictures and sharing them further!

These pictures show Devastator along side several MP sized Transformers, and from what I see… Now I need to figure out how to place him along side my other Deceptions at my desk without running out of room… (First world problems…)
