Good news for toy aficionados! Courtesy of TFW2005 user D-Drive, we have information of case breakdowns (not Breakdown) for as-of-yet seen Robots in Disguise (2015) products! Worth noting, though, is that according to the user, they are Canadian-based, so what we see tonight might be different than what we will see in the future. They are as follows:
Also, to lend credence to the ever-popular Generations: Combiner Wars Devastator rumor (now confirmed to be happening), D-Drive was also able to find out how many Devastators fans will be getting per case:
2013's release of the behemoth Generations Metroplex also contained two per case, so this small update could also confirm that Devastator will be classified as a Titan-class figure.
What do you, dear readers, think of this small update? Excited for Devastator? Itching to know what these RiD'15 products look like? Share your thoughts in the Energon Pub, and join us in the month-long wait until Toy Fair 2015, where these products will more than likely get their spotlight.

i dont know how i feel about generations Devy being a titan class, i would rather he stand at the same hight as the other combiners, not be 2 feet tall like metroplex
then again, a 2 foot tall Devy to fight my 2 foot tall Voltron would be kinda cool

Well, he is 6 guys into one as opposed to 5 guys, though I suppose you could accomplish something like that with 6 Deluxes.

It won't be that tall. "Size" classes are really price-points. Don't be fooled. Don't believe me? Stand one voyager atop another. It's nowhere near two feet tall.

And since the 3rd Party pun-machine's on, speculation over this DEVY sure has driven us CRAZY over the past 24 hours.

No, the category is "S-Words", starring Eric Burden and War. Or maybe you're right, and it's a crossover weapon allowing the Rebels to sink my Scrabbleship.william-james88 wrote:Hasbro is making a STAR WARS WORD BLASTER?!?!?!?!?!

Yeah, I'm thinking right around there, which will be perfect. In the G1 cartoon, I always figured Omega Supreme to be the Autobots' answer to Devastator, not just because of that one episode, but because it made sense, since there was no counterpart combiner team to the Constructicons on the Autobots' side. The only bot big enough to go toe-to-toe with Devastator was Omega Supreme, before the Scramble City combiners were introduced.

I would faint from the lack of oxygen due to laughing so hard!
I noticed that too, I think it might be a repaint/retool of some Star Wars role play blaster, like that Prime truck that turns into a fist holding a blaster.

I would rather have an updated Trypticon to go with my Metroplex if they're going to invest in another titan class figure. Maybe like the Monstrosity Trypticon.
Maybe some plucky 3rd Party will make a 2 foot Trypticon someday.......for about five times the price.

I have no interest in a Devastator that is the same size as Metroplex. If Hasbro wants to target G1 fans who are mostly adults, they need to toss child playability out the window. Big for nothing figures are suited best as kiddie toys like Stomp and Chomp Grimlock and Ultimate Bumblebee. Matroplex got a free pass because he was a city bot. Devastator is not a city bot. Titan class...easy pass.

On all the TF forums I'm reading, Many fans are guessing Titan Devastator will not be 2 feet tall. Many are guessing 16 to 18 inches tall.
After all TFC hercules also has Six Voyagers and is around 16 inches tall. So why wouldn't Titan Devastator with Six Similar voyagers also be a similar 16 to 18 inches tall.
Just because HasTak puts TF toys in huge boxes does not mean the toy inside is that size. Points to SDCC TF exclusives, Platinum TF toys, Botcon Exclusives gift sets, Hasbro MP TF TRU toys and so on.
Having TF toys with the same assortments names. Does not guarantee they will be the same size and price points.
Think the only real reason Titan Metroplex is 2 feet tall is because it has extremely long legs. Had the legs been regular sized, Think the robot mode would have been 18 inches tall.
Just don't think Hasbro is capable of creating a 2 foot tall Titan Devastator. With so many parts and pieces then turn around and only sell it for under $150. Think a height most are guessing Titan Devastator will be is 16 to 18 inches tall.
Titan Devastator is a CHUG toy not a MP TF toy. Ofcause it's going to be a kids toy. As CHUG is catered towards kids, teens and adults. Don't think many fans are expecting to get a MP Titan Devastator toy catered to adults under the CHUG banner.
While 3rd party TF gestalts like TFC Hercules and MT Green Giant might be impressive toys aimed at adults,many fans can't afford these.
more fans can afford the HasTak priced TF toys. Think Titan Devastator for it's low Hasbro USA Price will be a steal of a deal, worth every penny, won't break fans budgets and will be top notch high quality for what it cost and is composed of.

"Minicon Deployers" is honestly a term I didn't think we see again so soon, after it debuted in Exodus and got shoved down our throats by Hasbro's botched Headmasters subtitles that got released on the Shout! Factory DVD set.

More on topic, Minicons? Excellent. I just hope they're not as big as the Centuritron guys and that there are several different teams. Then, I await the really arbitrary clear campaign releases of them from Takara

But the listing clearly states "Generations" just like the emtroplex release did. And that was a new figure, not a rereleases of G1 metroplex.

Don't get me wrong. Do I want a giant devastator composed of 5 to 6 guys with awesome robot modes and combine into a stable, proportionate robot? Yes. But let's be honest, each robot would have to be the size of Leader Jetfire and a huge plastic brick to make it happen. I really do think this as a G1 reissue of Devastator in a huge box with some lovely art. Could I be wrong? Yes, do I hope I am? Yes! Do I think I'm wrong? No...

I will be happy if Devastar is not as big as Metroplex, but rather, the same size as Superion and such.

Good eye, you just made a grim possibility even more likely, so I had to mention it in this thread.

That is a very ominous observation indeed. This foreboding prediction of a G1 reissue of yours may now very well be the case.

It has more to do with fans putting a little too much faith in rumors, and failing to notice clues to the contrary... I'll go prepare the Nelsons.

I'm just taking things for what they are. So what if a case is two per box. Sure, metroplex was but so are Leader class figures, MP Prime, the MP seekers and the packaging for those figures were not as big as metroplex. 2 in a case just means that. Doesn't mean is a giant box they're shipped in.

We are way past that. Now we are worried that a generations devastator no longer assumes a new mold.

I love how paranoid this fandom can get so quickly. Anyone else think HasTak sits in their office with popcorn reading the forums just to watch us go insane?
Minicon Deployers: this is the RID15 line, so this is probably Drift and Fractyl's little dudes. If they're making a full subline out of it, I wonder who else will get minions? Maybe a to scaleish Fixit?

Who ever said they did? Hasbro is primarily a children's toy company that makes toys targeted specially at children and young adults. They rarely create toys just for adult collectors. Masterpiece and the now defunct Reissues are the only toys they have ever released just for adults.
Devastator will be no exception, just like Metroplex. For as many 30 year old fanboys that buy one, five children will pick it up.
If you want companies that seek out that market you need to do business with 3rd party companies.

If not, then great. If so, then don't buy it. Buy a third party one to fit in with your geewun classics crap. Why does it matter? Hasbro is not releasing figures to appease middle aged toy collectors. They are selling toys to children. Awesome if what they make appeals to us. If not, then get over it. Our time is up. The eighties are long over. This isn't geewun. Its that simple.
There are WAYYYY more issues to worry about in this life other than fretting over what mold is used in a TOY.

If somehow it is just a (vastly overpriced) reissue, that would at least save me from trying to scrape up the cash to buy it.
Otherwise, I just hope it's a real set of contstructicons, not some crap like they pulled with movie Devy, where they were just combining vehicles with no robot modes. I would hope they wouldn't try that bull again, but...

Dont worry, I didnt take it the wrong way and I get your point of view. However, I would like to point out that since this is a transformers toy forum, fretting over what mold is used in a toy is kinda the point of a forum existing. I hang out here to give my two cents on my hopes and fears for this brand and it's figures I care for, knowing that once I click the exit button I go back to a world filled with poverty, terrorism and discrimination. Seibertron is a nice sanctuary for us fans and I dont find it fair to say we shouldnt be here doing what a forum is all about.
And as for this not being G1, I completely agree. Did you see how articulated this new Superion is?

I'm not Worried at all. I am only a classics/generations collector but I am just thankful for what we get. Make is new enormous devastator or not. It's great we still get the classics stuff. If it's a g1 reissue I might get it but I might not. I don't own one but I don't need one.

He does. That's why X is always harping on Hasbro and Takara for making children's toys instead of being more adult-oriented like 3rd parties.shockblast2 wrote:If you want companies that seek out that market you need to do business with 3rd party companies.
