I got my TW/Inv brute to 50 couple of days ago.
Having a blast with her. I would recomend you Spring attack, its a nice having more AoE madness. Mobs falls like dominoes!
My thoughts:
Budget?
I know yer a long-time player, so I'm assuming you have resources.
Titan Weapons is all about the AOE. Arc of Destruction is AMAZING. TW also likes recharge, both to fuel momentum builders and to get the Buildup clone up as much as possible.
On the Invuln side, you want Invincibility with 3 Cyto's and every other power, EXCEPT Unstoppable. UnS is very skippable on a scrapper. Confront makes a superb place to slot a Taunt set. Taunt sets have among the best set bonuses in the game.
Depending on how tough you wanna be, the fighting pool is optional, as long as you understand that Defensive Sweep is only smashing and melee. If you want to be REALLY tough, take the fighting pool AND defensive sweep.
I strongly recommend the leaping pool: Combat jumping is +defense and a place for a LoTG proc, superleap is solid movement and a place for the Winter's Gift proc.
The body pool is a great choice, especially since the abundance of AOE's gives many places to slot Obliterations, which are fantastic but expensive on Endurance. A lot of AOE's with Obi's means you want as many Endurance powers as possible, all with Performance Shifter procs in them, and as many with End IO as you can manage.
You should have two single target attacks. One of them gets five purples and the -resist proc, the other should get the Scrapper ATO, half regular and half purple.
This will rank among the toughest scrapper builds, and still have more than adequate damage, especially on the AOE front.
Most of all, have fun!

I'd not thought of a huge budget. Probably under a billion (laughing at how "low" that is these days) but I don't purple out I go for what's best at a reasonable price. I'd deffo thought of an Obi set in Arc of Destruction.. and I already have the fighting pool.
You've rather confirmed my suspicious about Unstoppable. It's very good but the crash is crippline and I'm not sure it's necessary when the planets are in alignment and the Eagle flies west in spring... by which I mean get everything else right and it feels like it should mostly be redundant.
When you say Cytos you mean Hami enhancers?
I'm unclear about ATIOs, may need you to enlighten me there please

So can someone post a super expensive and a paupers build please? Thats really what we all want to see...

Add Ageless and Cardiac and look out world!!
Too expensive I think

I've just got my TW/Inv to 50 but if you've read my other threads on the subject you'll probably already realise I'm a melee novice and not sure what the best way of building them are. So far, I've found him very End intenstive and so I've taken Body Mastery as a APP, and I've taken the fighting pool for the extra def.
I've really enjoyed it and the end use is the only downside but I'm not sure of what the best features of Inv are.
I've avoided Confront on TW... but got everything else. Big fan of Rend Armour and Whirling Smash is on Auto to follow up the debuff immediately with Momentum - and I've taken all the Inv powers though I got a feeling some are skippable.
I'm only SO'd and I don't think at this stage it's a build that can cope with too much recharge - I've avoided hasten. Might be nice to get a travel power this time though.
I'm not so much asking for builds as more advice about principles and generalities... but if you want to throw example builds up I'll be very happy to compare and contrast.
