Day 54: Bruticus (Generation 2)

New for this year is this drawing of Bruticus, the combined form of the Combaticons. This is his 1994 Generation Two incarnation, which is the exact same design as his original '86 version, albeit with brighter mid-90s colors. Bruticus was not available as a giftset this time around, so kids and collectors had to pick up the five individual Combaticons and build him themselves. Bruticus is a "Scramble city" type combiner, meaning each of his four limbs are equally interchangeable with each other, as well as other combiners of this type.

Day 79: Superion (Universe)

The combined form of the Universe Micromaster Aerialbots is Superion, an amalgamation of six robots plus their pack-in accessories that serve as connectors, head, and extremities of the gestalt warrior. While in Japan, the original source of the design ( Sixwing , 1992) was available in a collected set, this combiner needed to be purchased one bot at a time in the 2007 Universe release.

Day 251: Mad

The last of the Air Assault Micron Team trio is Mad, who turns into a Concorde SST. A design that's been used several times already -- see Jetstorm , Scattor , Thrust , Mach , and Quantum -- this version has some of its plastic parts in a translucent finish, giving it a high tech feel. Mad was available in Japan in 2003. He was later rechristened "Skull Buster" in Fan Club-generated lore.

Day 26: Nemesis Prime (Alternators)

Nemesis Prime, an evil twin to Optimus Prime first introduced in the Armada line, gets the Alternators treatment, allowing a reuse of the Dodge Ram SRT-10 design. In the North American market, this toy was only available at the Hasbro Toy Shop and at San Diego Comic-Con International in 2006.
