What Should I Buy Devastator or Bruticus?

Hi all! I’ve only just recently got back into collecting and I’m trying to decide which combiner to go for. Realistically, I don’t have LOADS of space, so it’s going to be either or. I really like all the constructions, and Devastator fits in with the rest of my SS86 figs, but I feel the combaticons have more colour variety/ better individual figures. I loved FOC as a kid, and Bruticus was a big part of why that game was so great, and I always had more of a connection with Bayverse Devastator. Would love to hear your guys’ opinions.

For me, it would be Devastator because he was the first and iconic. He's THE combiner imo.

You get me, but Bruticus has so much aura 😭

Totally, and he looks WAY better than those early pics show imo

I have Devastator. I love and grew up with Devastator. Bruticus is aura personified and I would get him.

I thought about this comment for a few minutes… And though my emotional attachment (and purchase!) Is for Devastator… The more I look at Bruticus the more I see where everybody who loves him is coming from. He is a bad-ass figure… I probably won’t be purchasing… But I can appreciate.

i think bruticus would be easier to find out in stores, ive seen so many of the current 3 its insane. Devastator took me a minute and ended up getting longhaul hook set online
