Video Review for Takara Transformers Unite Warriors Devastator UW-04

The leg mode for Takara's Scrapper has a different transfomration sugestion than Hasbro's, aside from the added heel. With Hasbro, because the decepticon symbol is on scrapper's roof, they dont rotate that roof piece when forming the leg so that the symbol doesnt look upside down. However, what Takara shows us is that the proper transformation of the mold has that roof/cab piece rotated to prevent scrapper's leg panels from coming apart when posing devastator.

This means that the hasbro version is perpetually mistransformed and someone messed up with the decal placement.

Boy, hasbro's devastator just can't catch a break at all, can it; I mean, hasbro doesn't deserve the break, but I feel bad for poor devs

he got who had what visor wrong the regular hasbro has the visor while the SDCC version has the eyes

The cartoon got it wrong too, a lot.

Nice as the Takara extras are, I actually prefer the colour scheme of the Hasbro version.

I've got the Hasbro version - I think it's great. Whatever faults it may have, it's still light-years beyond the G1 Devastator/Constructicons. We may romanticize our memories of G1 Devastator through a fog of time, but it really was a floppy, flimsy, parts-forming mess that would topple over and split in half if you even so much as nudged it the wrong way.

I'm certainly not going to go through the trouble of trying to sell the Hasbro version of CW Devastator to get the UW version, just for a couple of tiny tweaks here and there. I'd rather get a version of CW Brawl that has a properly locking waist....

Thats not what I meant, the toy isnt packaged in combined mode anyways. I just meant that his proper transformation for the hasbro one is to have the decepticon symbol on scrapper flipped upside down, which many are choosing to keep upright, making his leg less stable.

Well the idea is not to sell one to get the other but more to initially wait to see what both versions look like before settling on one, thus avoiding any headache. My new rule is to wait to see what the takara version looks like before deciding. Like that I dont regret later and the best part is that by the time Takara's is revealed, hasbro's might be cheaper since it's already released. Thats what I will be doing with Bruticus (which seems to be what you will be doing too). If I dont like it when its revealed or I realize that its a dumb exclusive again then I will go and buy the Hasbro version with no regrets and probably not pay as much as if I bought him now

Is it just me or is that boxart seriously Dreamwave/"I'm coming for your purse"-esque?

But congratulations on your (Long)haul anyway!

Still in airport limbo for me.

Btw, same with Defensor, so the box English name is Defensor and Devastator while the Japanese designation in the box is Guardian and Devastar?

Haha great job! a few errors here and there but mostly solid! We always were wondering what was going on with Starscream here. This is actually quite hilarious. XD

What errors? This is a very good translation.

I wonder which combiner is going to defeat him? Which will then follow the chronology of his , Galvatron, spark returning to the Arctic and then be revived as Super Megatron.

Fellow Seibertronians, courtesy of our own karyuudo and Karyuudo Fansubs, we get our first solid translation of Unite Warriors Grand Galvatron's comic. The original image's may be viewed Here, as well as directly below. And you can check out Hasbro's version of Galvatronus Here.











Seems like some crazy stuff is going to be happening within the fiction for Galvatron. And don't forget to tell us what you think of it in the comments below.

Nice job, Karyuudo! I like how you shamelessly plugged in Seibertron. That gave me a checkle.

SEE! This is the sort of fiction that you need in order to establish your batsh|t-crazy repaints to your fans

Nemesis Maximo wrote:Nice job, Karyuudo! I like how you shamelessly plugged in Seibertron. That gave me a checkle.

There's no plug there. The comic uses Cybertron' Japanese name, "Seibertron" (セイバートロン Seibātoron).

YAY! It only took the better part of an hour and a half, but I finally news'ed my first article

Okay, now I'm beginning to want this thing.

Quoted for truth.

Sent my brother a picture of Devastator and he sounded pretty unimpressed and asked me if I'd got it down out of mum's loft.

Considering CW Devvy is 3 times the size, and not only did we never have Mix Master to complete the set, but we had the euro G1 yellow non-combining variants. Didn't even have a full devastator.

It was a real eye opener of just how much those rose tinted nostalgia goggles influence your memory.

I had a hard time understanding until I realized I was reading it incorrectly. Forgot to read right to left...Duh!!! I'm finding myself liking this set more and more.

Thanks for the news posting. Hope everyone enjoys this translation that my team worked on.

No, thank you! I quite enjoyed reading that

Awesome translation and a great read! Good job all!

Ya! Thanks for the translation! This silly concept just keeps getting better and better. I'm really excited for the Grudge Squad.

I did find time between coats of paint on the wife's Xmas gift to get all Devy up in hur.

My goodness what a great toy! I love how he feels like a TOY, and not some over complicated high end collectible. Because that's really what I collect.
He feels like a toy, but sacrifices nothing. I knew he was big, but was still amazed at his size once I got him combined. I'm really happy how this guy turned out from vehicle, to bots, to combined. From all the photos we had seen, I wasn't sure I was going to like the green color, but with my own eyes, it's perfect.

This set is nothing short of MAGNIFICENT!!!!

For lucky best wash, use Grand Galvatron Mr. Sparkle!

Seibertron is the Japanese name of the Transformers planet (what we call Cybertron), while Cybertron is their name for the Autobot faction. This site's name is derived from that, not vice-versa.

Anyway, great comic now that it's translated! Unicron, ever the cautious one. Galvatron, ever the traitorous (to Unicron). Starscream, ever the Starscream. Fun little story, I wonder if there will be more.

Like when he says "Seibertron" instead of "Cybertron". It's an amazingly well done translation nonetheless. I know the Japanese says "Seibertron" but I'd put it as Cybertron to limit confusion for moderate fans.

You know, I just can't help it, but whenever I look at Starscream on the third page of this mini-comic, I think to myself (in Dr. Zoidberg's voice): "Why not Starscream?"

Congrats! I knew you'd get him first. My tracking still hasn't been updated since Dec 11. (It probably won't change even when he gets here.)

Glad you're enjoying the set! Sounds promising.

And thanks for the translation, Karyuudo!

That stuff there with Starscream is gold, Jerry, gold!

With you on that, although I gotta say Grand Scourge's comic was more fun for the Stunticon hijacking and the gloriously wacky Engrish.

That would actually lead to more confusion as "Cybertron" could mean either the Autobots, or the planet itself. Plus, proper nouns are usually left as is, as replaced names are a manga fan's pet peeve.

Holy sh*******************t!!!!!!!!!!!!

Man, the artwork on those UW boxes are really spectacular. I wouldn't mind having some clean copies of that for wallpapers.

Curious to see what a giant stack of Takara Tomy Unite Warriors box sets look like all in one go? The official Takara Transformers Twitter account has you covered, and threw in a Devastator for size comparison too - plus boxes from Grand Convoy, Guardian, Superion, Menasor, the big green, and even upcoming Combiner Haunt Leader Grand Galvatron. Check it out below!

Hmm...

Seems like Takara is trying to keep the numbers balanced for both sides, and we have 3 Autobot and 3 Decepticon combiners (Even though Devastator is much larger than any of the others). All of the Odd-numbered Unite Warrior Sets have been Autobots, and the Even-numbered have been Decepticons. But with Bruticus next on the horizon, is Takara going to wedge in another Autobot Combiner to be UW-07 while Bruticus is UW-08?

Maybe UW-07 will be some repaint of Victorion? Or something with the Sky Reign molds?

As fantastic as those Unite Warriors boxes look, I'm more excited by the ones not (yet) pictured. I'll be happy if we at LEAST get UW Bruticus next year, but if we get a UW Computron as well, I'll be over the moon.

i'm thinking they'll do Computron to "counter" Bruticus. and then Sky Lynx'll probly get tossed into Legends or Adventure.

or.......
Takara does make Sky Reign, and his "counterpart" is Liokaiser

Hmm, maybe, but I think making 2/3 of two combiners by themselves is at lot to ask. They're also going to want to move on to Titans Return to get some smaller toys on their shelves with RiD/Adventure closing down (plus, the 30th for Headmasters is coming up).

On the other hand, if pre-tooled heads for the characters are floating around, the I think both TT and Hasbro will release them down the line.
