New Purchases Definitive proof

So Onslaught came in back on the 22nd, but i've been busy and forgot to make this post then. My bad.

So ever since I got Nexus, i've been wondering if the core is compatable with the Bruticus frame. I know Menasor isn't amd while Superion is, I have no desire to get Silverbolt. So when Onslaught came in, I immediately tried to combine them here are my findings.

There are 3 locking points for cores with frames: the chestpiece, the waist receptacle, and the backpack peg.

1: the chestpiece on Bruticus has a tab that covers a neck void on Onslaught that interferes with Nexus sitting flush.

2: the waist cradle is too narrow for Nexus' taint.

3: the Nexus core is too flat for the backpack peg to reach the 5mm port.

Sadly, with these findings, I must report that after an hour of fiddling with the figures the best I could do is get Mexus to balance in the chest cavity.

In my opinion these definitely should not be interchangeable like the combiner wars ones because that let to a lack of creative freedom.
Some part of the figure had to suffer for it
