Via Zeta Toys Facebook and Weibo accounts we have new Zeta Toys Armageddon (Masterpiece-styled Bruticus) Color Prototype Images.
This massive Combiner, designed to go with your Masterpiece collection, is supposed to be around 50 cm. tall and we can see the nice details and proportions Zeta Toys worked on this release. While this is a color prototype, the images indicate they are not the final colors, so we could expect some changes in the future.
Three of the components have already been released: ZA-01 Take Off (Blast Off). Zeta A-02 Whirlblade (Vortex) and Zeta A-04 Uproar (Brawl) with the next figures upcoming in the next months.
You check the mirrored images after the jump and then join to the ongoing discussion at the 2005 Boards.

Just need Menasor behind Megatron now to wrap the Decepticons up:

Finally caved and ordered Bruticon. His toon color scheme with the @ShadowOfSilver add-on kit will fit in my collection much better. Now I just have to reattach the kibble to “Blast Off” & “Vortex” and sell my Armageddon set.

OK, I have 4 of the five now, I received Swindle today…he's ok but I could due without that stupid expression on his face.
Vortex, yes is really cool but a bit bulky but I'm ok with that.
Brawl is fantastic. the only drawback there is the tank treads but I can get used to that as well.
Onslaught is outstanding. But again, one failing…he's soo damn back-heavy.
All I need now is Blast-off.

Wiggle the piece gently top to bottom and it should give. I had the same issue with my V1 Brawl but after a couple of transformations it loosened up.

I have been trying for days to pull apart this right side of Brawl’s chest and just can’t seem to do it. The left side comes apart easy, anyone have a problem like this and possible solution??

Looked at a number of CHUG-gy Starscreams over the night last night and figured the best option was the Cybertron: Siege one. Had to run to a Home Depot in Puyallup for some hex bolts and lucked out that the Target across the street had one lone ‘screamer in stock.
Pretty much perfect scale wise, but I may have to do some tweaking with all the detail work on him to get him looking like he an Bruticon are from the same universe.
/edit
We’ll see if this works, I’m on my iPad and haven’t used it to post images before…

Considering MFT legends are pretty much scouts I think that might be exactly what you want. Expect any other legends seekers to be even smaller than megs.
MrLemming
That's pretty close to what I was wanting to see. It looks like I may have to go CHUG-scale to get a good scaling with them as legend looks just a wee bit too small.
Adumb
If it counts, here's a quick pic of an MFT scale legends between them.

Well, at least with the UT figures you can have them in their individual bot modes and have it both look G1 accurate as well as scale properly with Masterpiece bots too. Zeta’s group are far too tall to scale well that way and also took some liberties with the aesthetic.
Also has anyone posted a picture of a legend-scale Starscream next to him? My Yes Model KO MP-11 looks good with him, but he feels too tall next to Bruticus IMO…
Zappit
Man, Bruticon makes me regret buying the UT Bruticus. (Not their Brawl, however. That’s actually a great figure.)
Adumb
Someone please stop me from buying gigantic MP bots.![[IMG]](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/581178118727794691/617035175083245632/DSC00576.JPG)
What a terrific combined mode though. Best purchase I've made in a long time. Can't wait to get MMC bots for a diorama I'm planning.

@nemesisconvoy Oh ok I gotcha. My bad. Hmmmm them screw covers are extra's just in case the others fall out.? Lol I dunno. Thx for pointing out the head plate gimmick as I never knew it can come off
nemesisconvoy
I know what the head gimmick is for and I know WHAT the screw covers are for, I just don't know WHERE they are for!!
Thanks, but I know what scene the head gimmick is for and I know WHAT the screw covers are for, I just don't know WHERE they are for!!
FiVE1ZERO
I don't own this set but my guess is for Blitzkrieg,those screw covers if you don't like the screw being exposed.
For the second pic of Bruticus head just a guess but i think it's a gimmick/head detail (which I didn't know comes off) that was part of the Cartoon as the Autobots and Decepticons shot/destroyed a dummy Bruticus on Cybertron. I remember seeing Megatron telling Starscream to reprogram Bruticus and his head was open like that I recall.
EDIT: This scene

This new Zeta Toys Bruticon looks insane
Idk what I wanna do……I am planning on getting MMC’s Assaultus, but maybe? This looks more fun! And it’s a set.
Idk yet

Anyone make a custom toon accurate chest piece in toon colors? I see there are a few offerings on the original color scheme, but nothing for toon. I wish I could do it myself, but I have no skills, and I love everything else about this figure except that chest piece. Need to replace it asap.
nemesisconvoy
I have a couple of questions…I received my Blitzkrieg today And I don't know where these screw caps go.

And I didn't know that Bruticus's head did this…

I cannot pull Brawl’s right side chest piece apart no matter how much force I use. The left side pulls left and right easily. Has anyone else run into this problem and possibly found a solution???
nemesisconvoy
All I need for Bruticus now is Swindle and Blast Off!!! I CAN'T WAIT!!! NERDGASM
He was my first combiner as a kid.
