The gestalt:
Superlink SD-21 Bruticus - Energon Bruticus?
NOTE:
Not sure about "Vortex" and "Blast Off". Would actually be "Bolter"/"Vorter" and "Breast Off"; regardless, these are the Japanese names of G1 Vortex and Blast Off.
Hrm. According to the info I got (from a reputable member of this 'ere board), Blast-Off is the orange chopper, whilst Swindle is the brighter green of the two tanks.
Hrm.
[EDIT] - My bad. I've got Volter down as the orange one. My notes still say that the tannish green is Brawl, making the brighter green Swindle...
The e-Hobby listing is quite clear in that regard: The dark green tank which Hasbro is calling "Kickback" is named "Brawl" in Japan, while the other one is "Swindle".

Yep. You're quite right.
I think what's been confusing me is this...

The colours are quite different in that picture to what's on the eHobby site.
So, Swindle is in fact a lot more green than he appears in the eHobby pictures.
So, Brawl = forest (?) green; Swindle = mustardy green.
Blah.

Why exactly does Seibertron refer to the Takara versions by their alleged Hasbro names? And where does the "Maximus" come from? Unlike Superion Maximus and Constructicon Maximus, Bruticus shares his US name with his Japanese counterpart...
