Third party company Perfect Effect have updated their Facebook page with new images of their upcoming upgrade kit for Combiner Wars Bruticus! Like previous kits for Superion, Menasor, and Defensor, this one includes a set of articulated hands and feet that take the places of the official hands/feet/guns and transform into separate weapons for the Combaticons’ individual modes. The difference with this set though is the hands and feet are a G1 toy-accurate silver instead of white, purple, or black. The kit seems to be in its final stages of production as we also get a look at the packaging, which means it can’t be too far off!
The PC-09 upgrade kit is available for pre-order via our sponsor sites for about $32.99 and is slated for December release, just in time to bulk up your Bruticus for the holidays! Check out the pics after the jump.

Ohhhhhh I see. No wonder I couldn't find them when searching for "Perfect Effect Bruticus". LOL! Well I guess that torpedoes my chances of trading them for the gunmetal ones… Unless I find someone willing to trade for the "Simple Version" KOs of the PC-09. Hmmm.
BTW, though I know what you're referring to, I've never heard the "Simple Effect" nomenclature before. I assume that's a fandom term?
Thanks for the help!

The color matched feet were only available as KOs by Simple Effect IIRC.

Necro thread time!
Does anyone know what the color-matched set of PE's PC-09 was called? Was it PC-09U? PC-09UW? Something else?

Also, I have a set of the color-matched PC-09 (see above, that's the set I have) that I'd love to trade for the original, all-gunmetal PC-09. I'm in the USA (California).

Can`t wait for the reveals. If grey works for the dinos i already started which are as good as the PCs.

0_0 You have me worried. Mine are fine but, that's a scary thought.
Anyways, I have both official and KO sets and the only KO set to give me issues is the first version white one (I have not gotten the second white set yet. The one based on the Bruticus version) but my KO ones have been far more solid then the officials, some how. Personally, once I'm able I plan on getting a whole mess of KO sets to hoard for future combiners. Lol

They are KO.
I have the KO's for the Hasbro version and they are great. Well worth the $15.
Sad that they never knocked off the Superion upgrade. I swear the stock antenna that come on him are melting.

(apologies for necro)
I'm considering getting these as I managed to snag the G2 Bruticus set for the price of what less than two deluxes cost locally at Christmas last year and have become quite fond of it.
I suppose I have the following questions:
1. How is the set?
2. If I go on ebay and search for these I see a lot of different coloured versions all without the box and all for $15, and all coming from China. I am aware this might be the stupidest question ever, but are these KOs?
3. If these ARE indeed KOs, what is the quality like?
4. Was there ever an official release of this set in flat black or any other colour scheme that would better match G2 CW Bruticus?

Sounds like a molding issue with the ports on the figures themselves. I'll admit the connection point is pretty tight on my Blast Off, but the fist does connect with enough pressure.
The post on my H/F/G is slightly warped, making me wonder if the port is too. That would explain the tightness and the hand post not fitting correctly.
Only thing I can recommend is applying more pressure. If that doesn't work, I'd gently use the tip of a X-Acto knife to carve out little layers of plastic until the pegs fit.

I am having trouble with getting the pegs for hands to go into the ports with Takara Vortex and Blast off. The pegs are too big. Any help is needed.

You mean acetone? It can MELT plastic. So, no, nail polish remover will not tighten joints. You might want to try clear nail polish.

Does anyone here know if nail polish remover works with tightening ball joints?

Look up Forged In 86 on facebook. I think that's the guy you're talking about.
*edit* maybe not, but he has some pretty nice feet and weapons as well. https://www.facebook.com/forgedin86/

Does anyone know if the colors for these will work with the Unite Warriors version? Or has PE said if they're planning on releasing new versions color-matched with the UW versions of the combiners?

His feet are pretty awesome, I have superion and menasor. I know he was planning white at some point, not sure if they ever materialized

Thank you TFW2005 members!

Sectorzerotoys/burrociano are his company and board names

Thank you!
Unfortunately the feet still look too big to me. I wonder does anyone know the name of the guy (in South America I think) who makes feet? They're the ones not available on Shapeways.

Grr.. Those weren't sideways when I uploaded em…

How's this?
