Oh Hai Fall of Cybertron Bruticus Toy
 |
?Yes, the evil combiner Bruticus won’t just be making an appearance in the Transformers: Fall of Cybertron videogame; he’s also be making an appearance in toy stores, too, as Hasbro is actually producing a figure of his new and improved version. He’ll be made up of the five Combaticons, of course, a few of which you can see individually at Seibertron. Meanwhile, I’m going to put out an extra pair of pants, because if this game series and/or toyline ever gets around to doing a truly updated Devastator I’m going to need them.

Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others.
