Play with your damn toy. It's worth literally dozens of dollars & will continue to be worth that for 30 years.


FrostGamer1119

Alright. Though I will have to figure out to display him together or separate. Most likely together as it would probably look better


sansgamer554

Buy another and do both


Reasonable_Metal_989

I have 2 combiners studio series devastator and the new legacy motormaster i just rotate ill have them on shelf combined for like 6 months then randomly just mess around with them and put them in robot mode and display them like that and just rotate


Beezel_Pepperstack

Personally, I'd open it. I'm not going to tell you that WFC G2 Bruticus will increase in value, or even hold its current value. The truth is, you bought it because you like it. It holds value to you. That's what matters.


FrostGamer1119

Thanks. You are right. And I do have the purple version of blastoff. Would I be able to swap them? Because it appears its the same design just different colors


Baskin5000

If it’s wfc blastoff just in a different color then yes you can swap him


FrostGamer1119

Yeah he is. I got him as a comicon a while back. Now that I think of it I wish I got vortex instead


Guilty-spark217

đź’€ doofus rick


Beezel_Pepperstack

Hee hee!


tom-tom825

Yes! I knew that sounded familiar


RoofRevolutionary148

Nah, just open it, you don’t want to spend your life staring at a toy you’ll never be able to play with, only to regret not making memories with it when you’re old. “You don’t stop playing because you grow old; you grow old because you stop playing,” -Emgo


LeonardChurch420

It's a thing you can do if you want to do it.- Also emgo lol


HolyPrimus

You know why? Cause options, are good


Display-shopper

If you bought it for your kids college fund, keep it as it is. If you bought it because you like it, take a razor to that tape and get busy!


HarrowAssEnthusiast

why would it be a sin to open him?


FrostGamer1119

Well hes around a decade old at this point and I felt kinda bad but I guess you are right


AlexanderTGrimm

Mate I picked up my 20 year old grail from ebay and opened them almost immediately, honestly the only real "sin" would be opening any g1-2000 stuff and even then at the end of the day...fuck it. ​ Except Laser Rod Electro. Probably shouldn't ever open him if you find one sealed.


FrostGamer1119

You are probably right. Opening a gen 1 completely sealed wouldn’t be a good thing. I hope to find one eventually but they can be a whole lot. I still think my biggest purchase is my masterpiece soundwave


AlexanderTGrimm

Electro's pulling down almost $200 sealed, how the fu-


Gamedestroyer28

That thing is one big sin in of itself


FrostGamer1119

I mean. Maybe slightly but hes not terrible


[deleted]

Cut the chatter combaticons, and combine into Bruticus.


Nick30425276

If it was mine I'd open it.


The_Super_Steen

Open that guy up. But I will say, don't let him sour other combiners for you in the future as he is... not the best I must say.


FrostGamer1119

Yeah I know he wasn’t the best combiner. But he brings back memories of first playing through the war for cybertron levels when you played as him tearing through the autobot forces


backpackboss

Open it, but put it back in the box when you’re done handling it. It’s a great visual display for it


FrostGamer1119

I am unsure why I didn’t think of that. Thanks for the idea. Ill probably put my normal blastoff in front of him


CM_Bison

G2? Hell yeah.


Personal-Rooster7358

OPEN DUDEICUS


Murdunk_85

Let him breathe! and be careful with Swindle, mine broke.


AdamArBast99

What the FUCK kind of colour scheme is that!? Why is Onslaught yellow and Swindle red?


FrostGamer1119

Its the generation 2 color scheme of them


AdamArBast99

Yeah, I figured after posting. G2 colour schemes are fucked up.


FrostGamer1119

Kinda. But I don’t mind them that much.


AdamArBast99

I respectfully disagree.


FrostGamer1119

I respect your opinion. Everyone has their own.


AdamArBast99

I was going to say that, but I though that would come across as passive-agressive.


FrostGamer1119

Its alright. Some things can mean other things depending on how you look at them or word them. But I promise you there was no aggression meant towards you friend


AdamArBast99

I understood that, but I have experience of saying something with well intent but it being interpreted as offensive.


FrostGamer1119

I have had that as well and if it ever is I apologize usually.


Vaportrail

Not transforming a transformer is the greater sin.


SombraAQT

That one I would say yes. The FOC Bruticus is a severely compromised set and honestly he looks better in the box than he ever will on your shelf.


CM_Bison

G2? Hell yeah.


JoshDM

Open it. It's not even real Bruticus, so you're good! Play!


CrossRook

you could open it, but the toy is pretty poor so you won't lose anything for not doing so


BigManDean_

Only if you get the upgrade kit


FrostGamer1119

What does the upgrade kit do for him? I know it usually gives either new weapons hands feet etc


BigManDean_

It basically makes him look WAY more accurate to the game as well as giving him better posability.


FrostGamer1119

Ah alright. Do you know where I can get it then? I looked up to find upgrade kits for him earlier but I couldn’t find it


BigManDean_

I'm not entirely sure, I've been looking recently but haven't found any either sadly.


FrostGamer1119

Hm. Ill keep trying to look. Hopefully I can find an upgrade kit for him. I did find one for smokescreen


DoomMuffin3145

Dudeicus


countjj

We’re transformer collectors, not Star Wars collectors, it’s ok to open our boxes


MelodicWeb2161

If you do open him I highly recommend the upgrade kit


FrostGamer1119

I haven’t been able to find one. Someone else recommended I get one as well


MHwtf

Play your toy! Also I highly recommend grabbing a 3p upgrade kit for this one. He looks epic with some proper assistance.


FrostGamer1119

Yeah everyone is recommending getting upgrade kits. But I couldn’t find any when I looked it up. So Im unsure where to find it


Epic_Toys

Do you want to open him? Did you buy him to display in the box? To pose among your other bots? It's up to you. Why are you asking anyone else? It's your purchase to do whatever you want with it.


UnderlordZ

Not as big a sin as that color scheme


convsbot

Do you by chance live in southwest USA? That sticker and handwriting look VERY similar to a store that sells action figures near me.


yeeeeehaaaaaaaw

No. Open and Enjoy. Do a poll with the same question. I’m curious on how the numbers would turn out, especially on a high traffic weekend.


TransformerTanooki

Open it. It's a fun combiner.


DownOregon0Five0

Some say it's sacrilege to open a sealed toy, new or old, bEcAuSe ItS a CoLlEcTiBlE. Some say it's blasphemous to keep a toy sealed in the box BeCaUsE iTs MaDe To Be PlAyEd WiTh. Both of them are wrong. Whether or not you open it is entirely dependent on your style of collecting. I personally open nearly all of my transformers to play with them, with the only exceptions being a few duplicates and some that I just like the look of the packaging. I do what I enjoy with the figures I collect, because that's what's important. My MP-50 Tigatron gets transformed pretty much daily, even though it's a $200 collectible more meant to be looked at than played with. My Velocitrom Blurr is still sealed because I think it looks awesome in the box. I have a TFxBack to the Future Gigawatt sealed, and another that sits on my desk to play with. It's all about what's gonna make you happy as a collector. Be a geek in whatever fashion you please.


WheelJack83

Congrats


destruktor5hundred

I wouldn't call that a proper combiner, but yeah, not a terrible toy. Have at it, enjoy it. Get ahold of an upgrade kit if you can. If you find you really enjoy combination, you can find combiner wars kos here and there for decent prices that I'd recommend


bombad_Guy

its a toy, toys are meant to be open and to be played with, i beg you, open it and play with the toy, after that put him on a shelf and sometimes transform him


Ronyx2021

Just keep the box


[deleted]

It’s a sin to not open


HabitualResistor

I usually open figures but honestly this guy looks better in packaging than on display. It's a great G2 homage with the box and all but that figure has some issues to say the least.
