Transformers Combiner WarsDevastator: In-Hand Pics Galore

METROPLEX is not impressed
and i wish their green was darker
other than that awesome

The individual bots look bloody fantastic and I think have more articulation than people were expecting. Yeah, Scrapper has no elbows, but as I said from the start, and looking at him from behind, it's purely for stability issues.

Honestly, I think the designers have done a fantastic job. Combined mode is awesome, and the individual bots look great as well.

KUNG-FU DEVASTATOR LOL XD METROPLEX IS STILL UNIMPRESSED PS heres some recent news during a recent podcast with hexattib he had pete guest syar on it and ghey answered some questions bit ahen a person asked him about would there be there a g2 menasor he basically replied wkth ues there probably will plus je said they might make flywheels (its a might because he doesn't know if they will)

Awe gworsh 'jaki, that shoar is one neet lookin' robits.


Really, I don't know what there is to complain about. He looks pretty dope to me.
I mean c'mon,look at him with those MPs. Fantastic!

His butt flap isn't any where near as sexy as Ultra Magnuses.

One thing that looks aweful on this Devy is the way the Boncrusher/Scavenger treads hang down under his armpits like weird tumors. The G1 vintage toy had them raised high to form tall shoulders. And in the cartoon they were always centered or hidden quite well..

You show me yours and I'll show you mine.

Oh ... and you wanted complaints, you got the resident complainer. Well done, I hope you're happy with yourself.

This robot isn't roboty enough.

The only articulation missing on the individual bots is Scrapper's elbows. Other than that Hook and Mixmaster have oddly proportioned arms, but for Generations figures that do what they do they indeed look awesome. Scrapper's elbows are probably a mix of stability vs parts cost. Stable ratcheted elbows with a lock system would solve the stability for example, but for a retail generations release that would be nixed by Hasbro for cost reasons.
To a degree, they look like simplified MP figures. Knowing Hasui designed these makes me believe they essentially are.
It's a shame production costs prevent us from getting hefty, solid figures for a nice price. CW leaders costing £50 when back in the day you could get Cybertron OP for £30-£40 is a crying shame when you think he is heavy, detailed, plenty of play value and combining options and carries electronics whilst CW leaders are hollow and just feel (and look) cheaper.
This is still an accomplishment though. Anyone with any gripes on this Devy should bemoan cost issues, not the design. The design in this whole package is awesome!

One thing I haven't seen in pictures is where the lower arms and hands go when they're in individual modes. Kibble to be set aside? (That's how I prefer my gestalts)

Scroll down to see all the shots, and stay tuned to Seibertron.com for all your Transformers News!

OMG SCAVENGER AND BONECRUSHER LOOK SO AWESOME! Scavenger will definitely be my fave!

Oh yeah and combined mode is cool too lol.

The Toy Fair pics showed the indy bots wielding them as blasters. So to answer your question... yes, kibble, but with a function.

meh, I'd rather pointless kibble rather than big hunks of plastic wielded by individual robots.

awesome as hell. going to get one for sure

You have my blessing if you prefer to set them aside.

Why thank you good sir. Now I may sleep easier at night! You have no idea how uninterrupted my sleeping patterns have been, many nights spending wondering "how am I ever going to display the individual constructicons without their plastic kibble without upsetting Cobotron".

Now all I need is for Rated X's approval to use Alpha Brave in Superion when I get the United Warriors version!

See! You're funny when you want to be Burn!

But yeah, I'm planning on using the extra hand bits as weapons, I have a REALLY HARD TIME throwing pieces to the side, that's just my opinion. Peace!

I'm incredibly funny when people aren't being douchebags, asshats, filing pointless reports, or just blundering around instead of learning how the forums work...

Oooohhhhh Burn... I feel there will be many more sleepless nights in your future

Lol I guess I was in that camp!

But yeah, back to the green guy himself!
Which of the individual figures is your favorite? I think mine is Scavenger.

Great Devy pics! What about his VISOR; is it removable or retractable like Titan Metroplex, or are his SDCC & retail heads two different, separate molds?

I've been on the fence about this, and still remain somewhat unconvinced, especially once Hasbro's economizing became apparent, but I can honestly state that despite it's many shortcomings, I don't hate this Titan Devastator.

It doesn't look bad, though it's far from perfect. Long Haul is too fat, they're all too hollow, their articulation is only passable, the outward-facing clip-on wheels are really cheap-looking, and MixMaster's truck-mode is still ugly/unnecessarily "different", and yet, I still want one...

Well, thats what the assless chap butt flaps are for. When in vehicle mode, the hands fold in and those rectangular "weapons" are stored in the big rectangular holes on Longhaul's back.

Hey! Good eye Willbur! You can kinda see them back there in this shot.


BTW, anyone notice this dude has 3 Devastators.

On THIS I totally agree since every other contructicon is basically G1 why couldnt he be too?

Cobotron wrote:

Oh I noticed and couldnt believe it!

And the slots to insert the rectangular forearm kibble is more evident here of course. You'll notice that the holes are the same size as the forearms.

Long Haul's legs don't look nearly as bad in that pic. He actually looks decently proportionate. Still not liking the elbows those. If I do get this Devy set, I'm definitely going to model some add-ons to give him proper elbows.

I even have an idea for fixing Scrapper's arms.

shajaki wrote:

I'm assuming that is Devastator's head just chilling there in the middle of Hook's alt-mode?

shajaki wrote:

Is that the arm hanging on Bonecrushers's back or is there other sort of intergration? It's probably wishful thinking on my part, but I see a small potential for the arms folding up and storing internally. I've seen the arms used as guns\missle pods in other pictures. I just like for things to be all nice and tidy.

This feller having 3 Devastators is a little mind numbing. I'm glad he is sharing and caring with all the pictures.

Best I can tell, they're separate molds.

Long Haul is not fat, he's just large-framed, you insensitive prick. that's a joke
They are hollow by necessity
Their articulation is what it needs to be and you can bet good money that there will be a set of upgrade arms available by this time next year from some enterprising 3P or another.
Changing Mixmaster is odd, for sure, but I'm not going to get worked up about it. He works out in combined mode.

[quote="Silly"I have a REALLY HARD TIME throwing pieces to the side, that's just my opinion. Peace! [/quote]

It's an opinion I happn to share, but I'm more extreme in it: in alt mode, I like things integrated (or at least hidden) rather than just stuck on. It's not a deal-breaker, but I miss how in Beast Wars and the 2001 RiD line, the weapons ween't just stuck on the alt mode as an afterthought wherever there was a peghole.

I think the holes in Long Hauls bed are for his own legs. And if u look at the back of Devi's right forearm u can see Scavenger's chest piece.

Let us introduce some Mandarin to your Sunday morning routine, with the first long video review of the upcoming Generations Combiner Wars Titan Class Devastator, via Zhen Yan Reviews on YouKu. The video is entirely in Mandarin, but we get a fairly detail look as the two reviewers show off each individual Constructicon (Scrapper, Hook, Bonecrusher, Scavenger, Long Haul and Mixmaster), in both vehicle and robot mode - as we have seen several times before, including NY Toy Fair. The big Green itself will be featured in a second video, it seems - so take some time to check out the single transformations, below!

Video doesn't load for me.

Huh. Does both in the embed and the link for me. Have you tried both?

Neither work, sadly. Maybe a counrty restriction?

Perhaps..

That is unfortunate.

Yes. I really want to see this review. My inner geek is screaming.

Works fine for me, it just takes a long while to load (it's an hour long!) and I got two commercials before that. It doesn't stream properly though as it likes to pause.

I'm using FireFox with all the necessary addons.

Those boys may have derpy arms, but dat ankle tilts.

wow, youku is the biggest piece of shit in history

I am still not feeling this Devastator.

That airborne-kicking-Metroplex pic shows that the combined form has excellent poseability... Overall, the combined mode looks pretty great. (Except I think the Mixmaster foot looks a bit small.)

And the vehicle modes.. five of the six are pretty great. (Again, not feeling Mixmaster.)

But I just still feel that too much was sacrificed on the individual robot modes. I know that they probably had to do this to stay on budget. But still, it feels lacking to me.

Maybe if the figure was smaller, so that the gestalt was about the same size as other Combiner Wars gestalts, the flaws in the individual robot modes would seem more forgivable. (And then, also, I wouldn't have the problem I do with his size!)

For many people, this will be a great Devastator. And for those people, I am happy that this exists. But for me... Well, I'm just glad that I'd already gone with another (third party) option before this was ever announced. (I don't like going third party when there is an official option.)

I am using a mobile phone and i live in the us but i have to hse the link but the link works just fine for me

Not sure why but I feel a energon demolisher vibe from long haul .

But it's probably me...

peaces wrote:wow, youku is the biggest piece of **** in history

Yeah? How many courics would you give it?

Edit: it's working just fine for me. I'm using mobile chrome. I'm also skipping around with no problems.

Wow, that video player is all sorts of terrible.

I guess I didn't realize how hollow they actually are. I guess it makes sense given it's size, you wouldn't want any more weight than absolutely necessary.

Also that dude's fingernails grossed me out. O_o

I also caught his fingenails, they startled me in a way.

Well, this confirms what I previously said, the kibble forearms are stored on the back of long haul.

Good call. What is that black thing that folded up from Bonecrusher's Butt?

These guys are awesome as all get out. I'm loving that bow action Scrapper is sporting.

That guy sure took his time transforming them... I wonder if they'll do a combining video follow up?

It can't be coincidence that there's enough designed features and details on Mixmaster to make him work either as a flat nose cab with front exit bucket, or long nose cab with rear exit bucket (i.e. Geewun).
