No you don't win. No one wins. The image(s) were not sent to Seibertron.com exclusively. the images were posted originally at 4chan.org. My offer is null and void now.

That's an impressive figure, but it doesn't look like it will come apart to form six figures. Vehicles maybe. It looks way too clean. Perhaps this is just a super articulated figure similar in size as Metroplex but with no/a simple transformation but with features (light and sound?).

All six figures are confirmed to have both vehicle and robot modes. They're simplified, though. More articulation than a Legion Class figure, more like a Deluxe. Remember how Beast Hunters upscaled a couple of the Abominus Legions to Deluxe size?

Same thing here, Deluxes (and their complexity) upscaled to Voyager Class size. Long Haul (main torso) will be Leader Class, while Hook, Bonecrusher, Scrapper, Scavenger and Mixmaster will be Voyager Class, this is why TRU wants $149.99 for the set.

Okay, the gestalt looks quite nice up close and unblurry. I can make out some robot mode parts like on the back of mixmaster. Speaking of, I will wait till ny toy fair to give say on the deco. Moving a bit closer to wanting it.

Much better than I was expecting.

The left foot is indeed the cab of the truck but is really tiny.

What do you think about possible stability issues, got a wonky stance on there.

I like it and look forward to seeing more detailed pics but for now I think I will stick with my Hercules.

Eat your heart out, TFC and/or Maketoys! I'll drop cash on this like nobody's business, since it's much more affordable. I can't wait for more pics, including individual alt and bots.

Hardly, they are in different leagues to this. Though you really pay for them.

That's what I thought at first, but if you look very closely at the limbs you can see little ball joints that presumably are for the individual modes.

It looks like Long Haul is leader class and the rest voyager? I think?

It's still competing with their products among people that want a Devastator, and I think being 50-75% cheaper and colossal in height is going to win out over some reduced articulation with a good chunk of people. Especially people that haven't already bought one of the previous two.

Dude, I can see the browser header and your android status bar,next time when you try to pass of a screenshot you made with your phone of someone else's picture as your own, at the very least crop it to remove that stuff. :lol:

Devastator looks OK I guess, his Mixmaster foot is gimpy and sad, and his arms suffer from being one piece instead of the lower arms being attachments - makes him look less imposing.

Now that is One impressive looking toy. Congrats to HasTak for making a great G1 looking update toy.

Hoping the individual robots modes pics get revealed. So I can see how complex and articulated they are.

by **1984forever** » Mon Feb 02, 2015 5:22 am

I am not satisfied with this one lonely pic! I demand that the photographer go back to Devy, break him up and take pics of the Constructicons in both modes!

by **Rated X** » Mon Feb 02, 2015 5:41 am

Very underwhelmed. The proportions of the legs dont match well with each other. Honestly it looks very good for Hasbro. But its no Hercules or Giant. The huge stand alone scale is the big deal breaker for me. Ill probally end up buying it out of pure curiousity. But in reality I could live without owning a 3rd Devastator. Oh well, the Hasbro only crowd can finally be happy. They do deserve this finally.

He did bring the picture here first before anybody from the news crew found it. You could reward him with a deluxe class figure for his efforts. Just saying...

News Credits: 251 · by **Mindmaster** » Mon Feb 02, 2015 6:14 am

My only points of contention are his arms (seems to be slightly too short), his head (slightly dorky), needs more purple, and the detail that seems to disappear in the green and purple. Other than that...

GIMMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE :BOOM:

Part of the reason why Mixmaster looks small is because only the top portion of the truck cab separates from the wheels, headlights etc to form the front of the foot. The other parts stay behind to form the heel so the truck cab looks really small.

As a guy who already owns Green Giant, I still want this in my life. I like my combiners to be colossal, and titan class is what I like to see.

Hopefully at Toyfair itself we see some of his limbs in alt mode... I want to see how much bigger Long Haul is than the others.

by **Rated X** » Mon Feb 02, 2015 6:48 am

One thing I noticed. Is that these hasbro corporate guys suck at posing the prototypes. (Remember the first superion and menasor pics) I mean Devy really looks like he is slipping on a bananna peel. And why is hooks crane raised in the air like a giant antenna ? Why dont they send someone to the toy fair who actually has a connection to the products to set up the display ? A better pose could do alot for this figure like it did for Superion.

this will be a big collectors item. need more info on it though.

by **Nemesis Maximo** » Mon Feb 02, 2015 6:52 am

There's only one thing I don't like, and that's the left foot. It just looks so gimpy compared to the right one. Other than that, I think I can get behind this.

True in so many ways.

It will be very popular with collectors.
It is a big item (tall) that collectors will like.
Big fat collectors will enjoy this (so will the skinny ones).

I've said it before and will say it again, Hasbro always find a way to drop the ball in some way or another, they are on target but they just miss the bullseye.
