Just a quick post to show my UW Bruticus upgraded with the Dreamwave kit. A kit that came insanely fast from Hong Kong! Almost a month is a long time, but it's damn short with the COVID trouble and it's the normal time for something with free shipping from Asia.
Anyway, the kit was intended for the CW version, not the UW. The "correct" one being out of stock. So I had to paint some bits. Also, the instructions that came with the kit were hard to read and was for the wrong kit anyway. Thank God for Youtube videos!
It was lot of work because the original Onslaught thighs and knees sucked. The kit gave me new thighs and knees and it took a lot of unscrewing, snapping, gluing, and screwing to assemble the parts. Then I replaced the head, changed the old codpiece for the new one, then snapped on the new legs, cannons, and chest parts. The kit also came with new hands and feet for the combined mode.
The final result is astounding. Bruticus is now taller than before, beefier than before, and most importantly, HE CAN STAND UP WITHOUT FALLING! As for the chest, I much prefer the all silver CW version from the odd colors of the UW one. As for the "belt" of the codpiece, the CW colors dont bother me so I left it as it is.
Without further ado, here's the comparison between the original, then I show the upgraded one:
I will not give my other combiners upgrade kits because I consider them perfect as they are. But that UW Bruticus was pretty disappointing the first time I got him. But now with the upgrade, it's absolutely marvelous!
