Devcon has odd, pouty lips, this toy has normal lips. The ends on Devcon's helmet curve inwards while this has the normal shape for Scourge. The lazer on Devcon's head is different than that of this toy (the Sweeep has a hole with light piping, Devcon does not). The Sweep has light piping, Devcon does not (I haven't taken it apart, but it looks like the eyes are sculpted on the face). From the side of the Devcon toy you can really see the difference.
I mean the head really looks like Devcon's. But if it is, they didn't derive it from the Botcon version.
You are correct, that is Devcon's head, but not from the BotCon set. I noticed back at Toy Fair that the "gun" on his head is different, but it really is an entirely new head. I doubt it's a pre-tool either, otherwise BotCon would have used it. Maybe there's an official Devcon in our future? I'd buy a set of him, Smokescreen, and a cartoon accurate Astrotrain.
