I have him and really like him. He’s duking it out with ROTF SS Megatron as one of my favorites so far.

Not Megatron...
Shockwave!
Hopefully this guy gets an epic figure.
Also, I noted that the figures seem to be smaller than they are supposed to. In the movie, Long Haul towered over Starscream, but now, he seems very short compared to him.

Yesss Doctor Shocktapus cooking up Predacons and Constructi-monstercons love that
I was so smitten with Grimlock and the attempt at scale. With Long Haul it’s obviously not perfect he should be enormous their scales are so staggered my god it’s like oh what you want a li’l steamshovel vehicle in there NO Scavenger will be a building with arms on a WHEEL wha huh? And there’s duplicates of many of them it’s a mystery wrapped in a conundrum tucked into a Constructicon.

Personallly, I'm not going in on Devastator for a lack of funds and lack of a place to put what will roughly be the equivalent of a titan sized quadroped, but if that is what the Leader Overload toy looks like I'm buying it

I don't think the final product will be anything close to that complex. Don't get me wrong, I'd love it, I just don't see it physically being possible to have a bot mode with that many smaller posable parts and still be a lower torso capable of bearing the weight of 1 leader, 2 voyagers and 2 deluxes on top of him without falling to pieces.

Don't be smitten!... smitted? Smotten?
Anyway, Grimlock's scale didn't bother me too much, and he looked decent among TLK figures. But I am a little peeved about Long Haul's scale. He looks great, and I bet he will look great with his teammates, but I may never forget the fact that he is small now. But if it facilitates the combination gimmick better, I can live with that.
Also, seeing the combined leg modes in reverse order, that brings to question; are the legs for SS Devastator interchangeable? The ankles being able to tilt both ways seems to be an indication of that

We might see redecos but if we do, it will be in the form of exclusives, like the Thundercracker redeco.

I recently got him and while I really like the transformation and look of both modes, I really don,t like how limited his hips are. They dont go back far enough so he has balancing issues and ends up slouching.
I wouldnt call him shelfwarming though. There are only 2-3 leader class toys a year from that line and we all want to see nicely stocked shelves so having shelves stocked with the latest figure makes perfect sense. It's like last year, there was only Blackout and Grimlock so for sure you were gonna see them all year long, from them being out up until christmas.

This can be problematic with some Star Wars and Marvel Legends figures. Sometimes fabric is a nice choice that is stitched well while other times it can flay out a bit much making softer vinyl the better choice.
I was so impressed with how the cloak worked in this figure’s Voyager incarnation.
Would you say fabric was the right choice on this one? Other than the hips do the accessories make it an overall satisfying buy?

In some instances, fabric can be a good thing, while in others, not so much. I like the cloak for SS DOTM Megatron, but I thought it was pulled off way better on the DOTM Voyager.
The accessories are pretty nice, especially that shotgun, even if it is only painted on one side.
About the slouching, I am 90% sure it is meant to do that, as Megatron had a slouch in DOTM.
Overall, I thought SS DOTM Megatron is a good figure, and I think he's only shelfwarming because parents think there is a defect on his face (when in reality, his head is supposed to be like that)

Once again, i have no clue why we could call the latest toy from a toyline shelfwarming. Would you guys rather the shelves be empty?
And i dont care if he slouched in the film, the figure should have all ranges of articulation, and simply give you the option to present him as that, not force it. Those hips are ridiculously restrictive.

I'm doubting we'll get G1 repaints or anything like that. They've only done a few repaints, but those either were characters with multiple paintjobs, or to make some of the generic background characters. The line has been doing pretty good with original molds, 5 individual leader molds (4 if you want to get snippy) as completely unique to their size class is impressive.

I'm gonna say no, those are 2 very different types of connections for the legs to Overload.
Posted by Nemesis Maximo on June 12th, 2019 @ 1:03pm CDT
Long Haul looks great on his own, LEAGUES better than the ROTF Voyager, but man, that leg mode just isn’t working. I’m sincerely hoping it’s mistransformed.
Posted by STngAR on June 12th, 2019 @ 4:41pm CDT
On the other hand if you are, this is probably a great improvement.

Exactly!
And he pulls off 3 nice looking modes along with a decently articulated robot mode at the same time, so what can you complaining about (besides size)?

If they did release Blitzwing,people would ask/expect repaints and thas something I can see HasTak now wanting to commit to right now.

I’m just thinking that his foot mode ought to have more prominent toes, although I admit it’s kinda hard to tell exactly what Long Haul looks like here on account of being so small.
I suppose it will look much better when combined into Devastator.

I think you are misunderstanding what Will was talking about. The image in question was from the movie and Will was responding to complaints about how Long Hauls robot mode is too short.
In the movie, Long Haul, Mixmastrer and Rampage did not form Devastator. They were elsewhere fighting when Devy was formed. The bots from the movie that did form Devy were unnamed extras that may or may not have individual robot modes. That's what Will was getting at. There were 2 dump truck cons, Long Haul who was larger than Starscream, and the unnamed bot who formed Devy's leg, and whose robot mode height is unknown.

Aside from Rampage (the only component Constructicon named onscreen in the movie), the ones fighting in the desert ruins away from Devastator were unnamed as well.TF-fan kev777 wrote:Omegatron. wrote:william-james88 wrote:Also, you have to remember that in that image, that is not long haul as his foot, but another bot instead who may or may not have a robot mode.

Thanks, that is indeed what i meant. Basically, comparing this toy's combined form for true screen accuracy is a futile effort in this case since none of these bots actually formed Devastator.

There were 2 of each. Long Haul and his Twin Haul II. They were seen in robot and combined mode.
Just let it go, you don't need to get so particular about it.

Combined modes are never perfect, so it really shouldn't matter too much. And these are movie figures, rarely do the toys match up with the on screen bot 100%.
I see the whole Constructicon thing way too much, and it annoys me to hear how the actual named constructicons don't combine.

Because there can be more than 1 bot and it's more fun to have named bot be part of Devastator. That's like saying in that one infamous G1 episode where you saw Bruticus and the combaticons all together that then there is another Bruticus and his components are not the combaticons. RotF gave us a really cool and unique combiner that was made of component bots who had look a likes in the army of generics fighting in Egypt so i like to think that Devastator was made of named robots.
