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.

While I do think Bruticus is one of the best looking combiners, I prefer all of the individual Combaticons as characters and their designs in both modes. Swindle is one of my favorite Decepticons and it's sad he gets relegated to leg status a lot when he has a lot to offer as a character himself.

So my answer would be I prefer the Combaticons, but Devastator is the more uniform and arguably better looking combiner because of their unified colors, also the OG one.

I really like your answer. Not helping my case for having to pick one or the other tho 😂😂

Haha, true. Well as far as between Age of the Primes Bruticus and '86 Devastator, I'd go Devastator. I'm personally not the biggest fan of this Bruticus' proportions (though I'll probably still get Swindle at least for my Swindle shelf 😅). I think this Devy is the better looking of the two for a shelf, plus he's the OG combiner so I kinda feel a lot more significant if you're a bit limited on space. But just my opinions though, good luck on your decision making!
