I enjoyed Hercules while I had him, but that's one combiner that really shows its age.

You honestly think so? All I ever seen about Slash was people hating on it yet it was the most difficult Dinobot for me to find. I only just found it a month and a half ago. The same with Airachnid. I only seen it once in stores when I didn't have the money for it. I thought that since so many people hated it that I'd be able to find it again easily right? RIGHT? Nope, not a chance. So still no Airachnid for me.
The fact that there's a pretty decent amount of hate for Devastator just means that it'll be just as difficult to find as if everyone loved it. The way I see it, this is going to be an impulse buy. If you ever see it you'll have to pick it up right then and there or run the risk of never finding it again. Especially nowadays with so many scalpers and such shoddy stocking from stores.

The worst how? Worst than the G1 throttlebots? Worst than Beast Machines Silverbolt? Worse than ROTF Devastator's design (testicles and all)? Worst than Animated Voyager Megatron?

Yeah...I know. I tell myself that in hopes of actually finding one on the shelves. And yeah, if I do find him in the wild (I know I wont) I will be stiff-arming kids out the way to the checkout.

Oh see my bad. So that would mean that these two below are obviously way better figures right?

Why are people SO worked up about this? I mean, c'mon, the purpose of them is to combine, and plus, who even plans on displaying Devastator in individual robot modes?

The box says "Devastator." I'm buyin me a Devastator and he will displayed as such. Bending elbows for individual constructicons are a minor complaint. The final proportions (for a combiner figure no less), the poseability, a proper head sculpt, the snappy colors and good god that ridiculous size! What am I saying?! Continue the hate parade so there's more for me!

I completely agree and hope that those who say they wont buy him stick to their word. But most probably, I think most of the hate will end up being hypocrisy and he will be both more expensive and harder to find than Metroplex in one year following his release respectively.

I can't speak for everyone but I'll tell you why I won't be getting it. I was excited when I first saw this with Klaus because I thought this would be the last Devy I'd ever have to buy- thinking that Hasbro had totally nailed it and this would be for Devy what MP-13 is for Soundwave, and it's not by a long shot. It looks cheap, God knows what is going on with that Mixmaster foot, the lack of articulation... I think this breaks my back on Hasbro purchases. I can't bring myself to buy 3rd party on principle, but TT gets my money from here on out. I'll pay the extra money to get thicker plastic, better paint apps and even some die cast here and there. If any of you want this, there's one more that won't be purchased out there for you. Good luck and good hunting.

Another complaint about the "Mixmaster foot". they gave Mixmaster a "reverse" cement truck mode. the drum motor is in the back and the drum itself is angled the opposite way of the more traditional trucks. the "foot" is the drum's motor housing, and the front of the truck is what is pegging in at the knee. why is this hard to figure out??

Just wanted to say that I really appreciate the time you took to give us this response. It is a nice and honest insight into the reasons why this figure may not be the wish come true that it seems to represent. Respect!

It's not hard to figure out what they did, but it is hard to figure out why- it looks cheap, it ruins Mixmaster's aesthetic and it makes Devy look like he has a peg leg. Why is that so hard to figure out?

G1 had lots of flaws. It wouldn't hold together well - Hook and Long Haul in particular kept pulling apart at the lightest touch. Scrapper's shovel/foot kept bending forward, tipping Devastator over unless you balanced him just right. LOTS of partsforming - hands, forearms, head, hands..
Power Core Combiners: Ugh. One actual Transformer deluxe sized, and then four plug-in non-transforming 'drones' for limbs. It wasn't Devastator at all, and they didn't even bother naming him after his G1 likeness.
ROTF Movie: It was Bayverse, and thus fettered by all the bad writing and conceptualization that comes with any and all of Bay's movies. With him it's always, 'It COULD have been great - BUT...'
The CW Titan version seems light years beyond any of the above.

hasbro did nail it! since the original g1 toy, this is more show accurate then that too
you people gripe at anything slightly off about show accuracy or articulation and just because its Hasbro its cheap B.S. your right about one thing you dont like then dont buy it! go spend twice as much or more for a minimal variation TT version

First of all, I was answering a question and I wasn't coming out swinging and trying to be nasty. If you like it, great, get it. And by mentioning TT, I was saying that I'm waiting for MP, not buying the TT version of this. I don't get the hate for fellow collectors because their opinion differs, though. As I said before, if you want it, best of luck to you.

...You do realize the ONLY change between the TakaraTomy and Hasbro versions of the toys are the paint apps, right? TakaraTomy and Hasbro Transformers figures are literally made in the same factories, with the same equipment. Any difference in quality between the Hasbro and TakaraTomy versions of a toy are due to the TakaraTomy versions often coming out later, thus giving them time to make minor fixes. When Hasbro and TT release toys at the same time, they are the exact same product, aside from paint apps. Sorry to burst your little bubble of pretention and imagined superiority, but TakaraTomy doesn't magically make the toys better, or add die-cast (that myth is incredibly stupid), they just have slightly better paint apps and better stock photography.

you have a funny way of answering a question then. and also you will be waiting a very long time for a MP version as there are no plans at this time for one as far as anyone knows, only those who design MP's knows, and i will get it no luck needed
