Alfes 2010 has posted several extensive galleries of the newly released Transformers Generations Fall of Cybertron Combaticons on his blog. These Japanese repaints feature highly game-accurate decos, though at a premium. We’ve attached some of his photos to this posting, and you can check the links below for his full galleries.

Wicked Metallic deco all around. Onslaught looks more g1 accurate,Vortex's colors are far less garish then the retail version,Blast-off has an odd scheme to me,Swindle's face deco is better, and I want the Brawl mold even more with those colors.

Those colors are beautiful. BEAUTIFUL.

these are so ugly, its incredible. they are uglier that the fp bruticus without the fp bots being included.

I was expecting to like the Takara version more, but after seeing these I think I'll stick with my SDCC version after all. Something about the colors here that I just don't like as much. Vortex and Swindle especially. Maybe they're too bright? Still, this is easily the 2nd best option. Can't wait for the Wreckers.

I kind of like the SDCC version rather than the TakTomy version

Kickass! Megatron must be really happy to have achieved his dream of an army of Bruticuses, even though it's a small one!

I received all five of the FOC Combaticons for Christmas. I'm glad to have them now.

I still like the G2 exclusive set. Still hoping someone makes a upgrade set for the combined mode like new hands and feet and stuff to make him look more bad ass..

I wish i could fuze both sets into one. Cause bothe sets have things i like. I have the sdcc set, and i like it, but I think all the purple glowing parts on all the takara figures, are much better. To me thats one of the biggest things for the cybertron game look, the glowing lines. So i like the figure with the best lines.
But on the other hand I like the dull color scheme on the sdcc set over the metallic takara set. That just seems more FOC-y to me.
I really love the Takara Blast off! I think he's a million times better than SDCC one, wich i thought thae paint was the weakest on. I also like swindle, i really like how they did the tires. I might swap him out with the sdcc set, but i do realy like the sdcc one. Swindle was my favorite figure in the bruticus set.
I did want a second version of bruticus to display combined. So i have a feeling i will probably eventually get that takara set. I will probably display all the best figures in the single bot forms. and maybe a hodge podge for the combined mode.

I thought so. Maybe he thinks they go with each other's teams better than their own?

I'd argue SDCC is worst because it tries for the same thing as the Takara, but does it worse. At least Hasbro retail does it's Energon homage well. To each his own though.
Also, anyone notice this guy has his G2 and Hasbro Retail Vortexes swapped in every pic?
Necro Prime
So…. Beautiful. Cant wait to get mine. Still wish that Vortex was G1 colored though. I've thought about taking components from both the US release and the G2 version to make a more acurate one. Some paint removal and aplication needed of course.

takara tomy make best head masters too
HiHarri
Damn it, Takara! Stop making things I want with money I don't have! Over all, looks awesome, but glad I have my G2 Bruticus!

Man FOC Bruticus is just begging for a 3P company to come in and give it additional parts to make the combine mode more pleasing and balance. Because no matter how you fan mode it, it still looks like shit compare to the video game model.

If it wasn't for the fact these'd probably cost twice as much as the SDCC ones, it'd get these. Although I still wish they'd make Blast Off darker so he'd stand out from Swindle and vehicle mode Votex.

At least Takara still knows how to paint. Something that Hasbro has forgotten.
BlueAngel_Bolt
Damn that's beautiful. Probably gonna put this one in the SDCC figure's box.
Batman
Yep, still looks like crap.
It just goes to show you can paint a turd up any way you want, but at the end of the day, it's still a turd.
