Brutii?

I love this mold. Probably my favorite combiner ever.

And yeah, the grey camo one blows the others away. Best paint job.

To Seibs: Tell me about it. The MM Gestalts Rock!

I have KO Sixwing (cybertron), KO Sixwing (Destron), Reissue Sixwing (Superion), Reissue Sixwing (Berserker)- actually have half, still need Chain Gun, Missile Run, and Supersonic.

As well as KO Sixbuilder and Reissue Sixbuilder (Universe Devestator).

KO Sixturbo and Reissue Sixturbo (Black, reverse evolution) on the way from eBay.

KO Sixliner.

Reissue Sixtrain (Universe Railracer), and Reissue Sixtrain (Redmode) on the way from eBay.

I can't get enough of these things. I was after Sixbuilder Devestar, but when I got the Universe one, I decided that I didn't need the Jap. one.

I know a lot of people don't like KO's, but I can't aford to buy an orig, so I get the KO's whenever possible.

Unfortunately, I have no clue where to get the missing ones for Sixwing Berserker. BBTS is out, eBay has dried up, and no responses from Carbombya. On top of that no local comic or toys shops near me have any clue what I'm talking about when I ask if they have any leads. It's actually getting a little frustrating. Oh well, that's the life of a collector.

Damned kids. In my day, we didn't have Ebay. We had one convention every month or so to buy our vintage Transformers. Sometimes there would be 6 months where you didn't find anything new!

And the price of stamps is too high!

And the kid across the street is lookin' at me funny!

Seibs, I don't remember, did I sell you the Arctic Camo Ruination or did you Ebay it?

I didn't want them at the time when you offered them to me so I ended up eBay'ing them a couple years later.

I won the G2 Bruticus figures individually ...

G2 Slingshot managed to survive the galleries. He had one none essential part on his wing crack. G2 Superion even fell on the floor and somehow, miracuously, Slingshot survived. Yes, I was being careful ... $#!* happens ... but fortunately, Slingshot made it through so that I can share pictures with all of you of a near perfect Slingshot that was sealed until one week ago.

RiD Ruination will be posted today.

Yeah, I've never seen a clear pic of that one, it looks really good. Is it a deceptive pic or is Blastoff's nose more rounded than the others?

i thinkl its the perspective pictures

no its more rounded like you suspected. safety thing, the original nose cone was considered a bit too pointy (stupid I know, but thats toy laws for you).

Bruticus was my first complete combiner as a kid. Swindle was one of my first Decepticons. Thanks!

Plus we have a Universe character in Ruination. Hurray.

That's funny ... I didn't even notice it while I was doing the galleries. I just checked out the figures ... it most certainly is different which is odd that they would remold it for the last two versions of this mold and not for any of the others. Interesting.

I've been trying to pick him up at a decent price for over a year on ebay. It's getting harder to find. As a Universe collector, he's one of the last I need besides a few exclusives.

I really like this mold but I'm not at all sorry I passed on this one. My favorite deco is the urban camo one too. I wish I hadn't lost the weapons to it, though.

I still wish they released the Seacons as Classics. I remember reading once Hasbro might have been willing to do it if someone like Wal-Mart or Target would have picked it up as an exclusive. I don't understand why it needed to be an exclusive. Last time I wanted an exclusive was Devastator, and by the time it actually turned up here I couldn't afford to buy it. Now I might be fraked on this one because they're moving on to the Movie now.

man... Ryan busy much? Keep em comin my friend, keep em coming

Oh, just a little bit. In addition to my 40 hour work week, I think I'm going to squeeze 50+ hours into Seibertron.com this week. Let's just say it's keeping me a little busy.



On that note, I should have the Arctic Camo set up by tomorrow morning. I'm going to start the upload for them before I hit the sack. I'll add them to the site when I wake up in the morning.

You know I just realised that Arctic camo Armourhide's base paint is brown instead of grey like the others in the set
never noticed that before despite haveing had both RID Ruinations since they were released

Ryan has now updated the Seibertron.com galleries with yet another variation on the Bruticus mold, this time the Urban/Arctic camouflage Ruination from the Robots in Disguise series.

Check out these great galleries

Armorhide (Brawl mold)
Mega-Octane (Onslaught mold)
Movor (Blastoff mold)
Rollbar (Swindle mold)
Rotor (Vortex mold)
and their combined form, Ruination!

And don't forget to check out all of Ryan's other galleries here

I must have a variant of the Arctic camo one, mine has the standard grey Ruination feet instead of the purple ones.

Was this a stoer exclusive? I never saw this guy. Wish i did i really want him. Thats the best one since the G1 colors.

I think that the G1 and Arctic camo ones look the best. I saw that Universe one many times, yet I enver managed to pick one up. Now I feel kinda bad for nto doing so.

Thats not artic camo its urban. artic is all white. I use to think that was snow or artic camo to untill i started playing rainbow six vegas.

Wal-Mart exclusive about four years ago or so.

The last two were both Wal-Mart exclusive. The newest gallery was after Armada began I think (because it was one of a few figures that were still considered RID, but had Armada packaging because that was the main line when they were released).

Is it really Arctic-Camo though, or urban? I always thought arctic was blues on white, and urban was black and white on gray. I've always considered the RID gift pack Ruination to be urban-camo. Just my opinion though.

I'm still glad I passed on what I consider the Tiger Force Ruination (which was what I was talking about last time). I'm glad I got RID set though. Lost the weapons to it (except for the ramp and double-barreled gun that would be on Mega-Octane's back).

I've read conflicting accounts on whether this set is urban-camo or arctic camo... your guess is as good as mine.

I picked arctic since it seems like it's the one most associated with this site... and it's a cool word to spell, one I don't get a chance to type very often.

EDIT: oh, and also this set kicks ass and is the best repaint of Bruticus. If I was rich and had a house, I would get one of my own.

man arctic camo looks awesome

Keep pump'n Ryan!
