while I don't have any pictures, i can sorta anon-review Pocket Toys' rendition of G1 Bruticus
ordered it off ebay for like 60 bucks, and holy shit was it worth it
the fag stands at about a foot tall combined, and i was expecting the individual bots to be legends class scaled, but comparing them to legends RotF devastator, it is clear that these are either small voyagers, or medium whatever's between legends and voyager
the posability is a bit off due to how loose this crotch joint is, which acts as a chest crunch in robot mode, but greatly interferes with the arm modes of blast off and especially vortex
speaking of vortex, its likely just an issue of my copy but the cockpit doesnt exactly fit on in vehicle mode
the knee joints of Bruticus are rather tight, requiring (imo) way too much force to bend, both to pose and to convert from leg mode to vehicle mode
the instructions tell nothing about vehicle to robot, but the figures are simple enough that fiddling around gets what you want.
the chest of bruticus is greatly lengthened by front and back add-ons that not only form the shoulders, but also give a coherent appearance to the whole model.
the hands are fully articulated, with each finger individually having a ball joint at the base, and one joint acting as both joints humans have between knuckle and fingertip. meanwhile, the feet have a 90 degree pivot and a 45 degree toe bend.
my last thing of note is that nowhere on the ebay page did it show shockwave, but it did. sadly he is a submarine instead of a gun, but the figure came with a fuckton of guns to make up for it
