It’s Bruticus Vs. Superion…Eventually
Even the most marginal of Transformers fans have to admit the awesomeness of the Combiners. My favorite was always Devastator, which had the most bad-ass name, in my opinion. If you preferred the Combaticons’ Bruticus or the Aerialbots’ Superion, you’re in luck, because Hasbro will release two special sets of both mega-‘Formers next year, as evidenced by two waaaay early (and already completed) eBay auctions. Now, both Bruticus and Superion are the Energon version, which aren’t G1 accurate, but much better sculpted; plus, these releases are in their more G1-accurate colors?just like 2007’s Devastator, actually, and also just like Devastator, these packs will likely be retailer-specific somewhere.
