Fellow Seibertronian Cyberpath has brought some nice new Devylicious pictures to our attention. These new pictures of UW04 Devastator were all found on Dengeki Hobby and features the following new images:
- Each constructicon in robot mode holding their weapons and in vehicle mode with weapon attached for storage.
- The two possible looks for Devastator's head
- The Box (and Cyberpath even shows a comparison picture to the Hasbro box which was slightly altered for this release)
Devastator is to be released at the middle of next month.

What's up with Scavenger having two different shades of purple on his treads?

Well I was mostly right 
. When the question was asked about the Box art, I assumed they would use the same as CW Dev. I do like how they altered the colors/stickers etc... to reflect the UW toy accuracy. Also some of the other non-toy characters have been removed, but this is pretty minor. I am really liking the look of UW Dev.

I know this guy is getting his fair share of flak due to hollowness, some instability issues and poseability of the individual Constructicons, but I am excited as all hell to finally get my hands on one of my most wanted toys ever.
Seriously, I've wanted a new Devy since I read War Within for the first time back in 2010. And to be so close...

I'm guessing it's either a different plastic for the sake of different resistances needed on each part and the colours didnt quite come out the same, or that it's pretty hard to match purple paint to the purple plastic.
Could even be a trick of the light, I dunno. I'm actually partially colourblind.

I'm so looking forward to finally owning my own Titan Devastator/Constructicon team. Though it's great-looking, there isn't really any added paint, only paint re-arrangements, and it's not perfect. Though I appreciate the silver-painted wheels, I miss many of Habro's bot-mode paint details like Bonecrusher's silver chest, and Long Haul's silver hips, though the painted black square behind his head is a quirky G1-cartoon reference. The new Devastator head with the retractable visor is very cool, but I miss Hasbro's brighter silver for the face as well as Scrapper's. Overall, my gripes are minor, and the added individual black pistols and improved articulation make this set more worthwhile to me.
The SDCC one seems to have the most details, whether by decal or tampos, but I'm honestly not enamored of the pinkish-purple chrome. The gunmetal of the treads on that version is the best of the three Devastators and most uniform. The SDCC box is the most attractive of the three, while Takara's is the plainest, though colored correctly. I wish that Has/Tak had at least used the plastic tray inserts in both their sets instead of the cheap-looking cardboard.
The $600.00 price for 3P not-Devastators is beyond me, so this Takara one is my best option for a cartoon-accurate, better-articulated , 6-in-one, king of the gestalts. We need more YouTube reviews of this version, but I'm already sold!

As far as I know, Takara doesnt send out review copies and unlike Hasbro, they run a really tight ship for release dates. Everyone gets their devastators at the same time, so those who preordered it might get it before there are full reviews of him.

Dengeki Hobby put up a video review (which was horrible, the hamhanded lady snapped the leg off of bonecrusher and couldn't transform thr damn thing with the instructions right in front of her) do you think that means he's ready to drop? I could be getting my preorder filled any day now?

More or less, expect this in Japan and HK/China mid December. There's no word yet for Guardian's release which was supposedly last week of October and we are like in the last week of November already.

I was referring to english reviews. Or reviews coming from westerners. I dont think Takara has sent any reiew copies to people like Optibotimus or Emgo. But they surely sent it to Dengeki Hobby (maybe as an exclusive). So sorry if I was not clear. I dont think our preorders will be filled before mid december.

Saw something on Google+ that the combined Devastator has ratchets in the arms. I know it's there in the shoulders so perhaps the elbows have been retooled as well. FYI I've only heard of Defensor being released December 12th no fixed date for Devy, unless somebody has heard something else.

Defensor on Dec 12, according to Takara Mall.
And Devastator too, according to Amazon Japan. Though it might change.

Thanks pal.

Both Dev and Def are supposed to be released Dec 12 2015. Those who ordered from nippon yassan have already been asked to pay. shipping ems was 5400 yen (exactly as most predicted). So in the end UW Devy is less than 200$ US shipped and similar to the price some us retailers sold the Hasbro version at.

Having now read through the new stuff regarding weapon storage and new color changes, Takara really did go ham on this didn't they? This guy looks so amazing and has so many paint apps and features. The guns all seem to store nicely and the shifting visor is very appealing. Plus that boxart is just badass and the new paint to Mixmaster definitely looks very awesome.
Really digging the guy, and his box. and his everything.

While I do agree he has less paint, and in some areas it is not as good as the Hasbro one, some of his paint is better places, such as in the treads of his arm components. Overall, he still is good though. With some of the hasbro paint he would have been irresistible

Sorry, I think that this is just another case of 'TT Defensor Syndrome' where it's 'properly painted' but since it looks like the lazily drawn/colored cartoon, it doesn't say much for it.
I like a healthy amount of paint apps/painted details on the tf's that I buy (especially if they are gonna be that large)

This guy looks so amazing and has so many paint apps and features. The guns all seem to store nicely and the shifting visor is very appealing. Plus that boxart is just badass and the new paint to Mixmaster definitely looks very awesome.
Really digging the guy, and his box. and his everything.
Sorry, he's almost totally unpainted, cannot abide that praise
He's as painted as the Hasbro version at least.

Come on you guys, he doesnt have less paint. All his wheels are painted, like in the G1 cartoon, plus he has that added silver on the left foot which works wonders, and he has Bonecrisher's inner threads painted to match the other side. And finally, while it isnt paint, they use an extra plastic colour to give him the correct purple hands AND they paint both the inside missiles of the transformed inner hands plus give a nice grey painted line in the forearm to breakup all that black.
This is such a welcome change to the drab looking Hasbro one. Look at the colours from the begining of his forearm to the end of his fingers, its just all boring black plastic.
Takara improves this more than people are letting on. Hasbro's is the one whose combined mode looks like unpainted ass:

He may not have more paint apps, but it's the placement of the apps he does have that I find appealing. As minute as it may seem, Bonecrusher's unpainted treads on Hasbro's has always bothered me and it sticks out like a sore thumb.
WJ - I keep meaning to tell you this, but it's "treads" not "threads". Like the bottom of your shoes not the string by which they are sewn together.

Ho down there Willie-J! I'm not trying to slam him here! I'm actually agreeing with the placement of the paint! I like some of the hasbro details better, but this guy is no slouch by any mean!

I'll grant you the wheels, those were a godsend. And hasbro's version is about as cheaply made as possible.
But they could have added something to break up the absolute sea of nasty constructicon green. Even if all they did was add some visual flairs to the combined mode, like hazard stripes across the thighs, or scuffing on the buckets' teeth (scrappers specifically), pick out some details like ladders or stuff in silver, or color the exhaust vents black, something, anything, there's so much green...

Oh I know, but I really wanted to address the idea of paint apps because there seems to be a few that think Takara has let us down with this release and looking at the combined mode, I have a hard time understanding why. I mean, those TREADS pop out right away

I agree with all that. Hence why I am glad the takara version at least has more color with the hands, and more silver here and there.

To me,that is the most noticeable difference and one that adds some extra POP! to it.

Yeah, the hands/arms are great, but the green on the legs goes on forever, it's all I can see when I look at it, it draws my eyes to it, like a black hole of neon green plastic. It would've been cool if they put some insignia's on mixy a'la rotf mixy; or colored the hydraulics on scrappers lift-arm; just something to interrupt the huge patches of green or purple.

Just so we can have a looky loo, and I myself was curious...
all in all, in combined mode the differences are minimal.

Yeah, the legs need something to break up the green to keep from looking like lime green bricks-for-stilts

I feel like the optimum deco for this set is somewhere in between what Hasbro and Takara are offering. When I eventually get my Takara Devy, I'll have to do some detailing on the ladders and stuff. I'm a little paranoid since I've never customized a toy like that before....
Anyway, looking at those comparison shots, it's true that the Devastator deco is pretty similar between the two, it's the individual constructicons that are pretty different. And I don't give a crap about purple hands, personally.

Just to give you something else to look forward to in December, find below three images from regular suspect TFYuki, two featuring members of UW04 Guardian (Defensor, to some of us) both deluxe Groove going solo and the gestalt Transformer, a shot alongside UW05 Devastator, and finally, a teaser of the upcoming Takara Tomy take on the definitely-not-Galvatron combiner torso. Check them out!
