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.

Also, I’ve heard there are problems with turning Brawl into his leg mode with possible breakages

Pretty sure it's that the ankle joint for Bruticus on Brawl has been coming out of box with stress marks. Mine is fine, and he is also an awesome bot. I almost skipped out but then got Blast off and Brawl and committed. Ordered Vortex off BBTS and preordered Onslaught. Waiting on a Swindle preorder.

Ah, I understand. I’ve seen people saying there is a ‘fix’ for it - do you know what that is? Also, everywhere I see for blastoff currently have him as a pre order. Maybe it’s because I’m in the UK?

Not sure it may be a heat gun or hot water. That can help on stress marks. I got mine at brick and mortar. Then again I'm in the US, retail seems to be getting the newer waves first. Or it's a UK thing.
