I know that this is all opinion, but any time I see someone say, "Giant has parts not integrated, and Hercules doesn't have that problem!" I just have to ask... and is that a good thing? The parts in question have to be the fists. And when I look at Hercules's fists, I can't help but boggle at how bad they look. Yes, they integrate into the individual bots... but as a giant fist hanging off of them! Really? This is the better alternative?

I should have stated this in the opening post, but I am planning on displaying the figure as a combiner on a G1 shelf, along with either the new line of MPs (Prowl, Sideswipe, etc.) or some of the CHUGs, whichever looks better in terms of scale.
Actually, my exact goal is to re-create the fight scene from Marvel Comics #10, "The Next Best Thing to Being There" which is a fight between some Autobots (Ironhide, Huffer, Blue Streak, few others) and Devastator commanded by Soundwave. Even if I can't do this, I'd still like to have a decent-sized G1 Devastator representative on my shelf.

Why did Herc get one, but not Giant? I'd buy it in a heart beat.

Is this a childhood memory of G1 Devastator, and the 80's Matchbox Voltron toys? Or are you talking about more modern toys?
If G1, I will agree that the G1 Devastator was small. I had him as a kid, and I also recently saw him in an awesome toy museum in Salem, MA. (Anyone going anywhere near Salem should check it out! Much vintage toy goodness!) He is a small toy, made up of six smaller toys. Meanwhile, I do seem to remember the Voltron I had as a kid being quite hefty.
Meanwhile, I actually think Giant's version of Mixmaster is quite a decent size! Heck, in robot mode, he's amongst the taller members of his group. I've never had the TFC version in hand, but since Herc as a whole is larger, I'd expect the individual members are a bit larger, as well. I do have a slightly more modern Voltron, and while I've never stood him up next to Giant (or my other Transformers inspired gestalts) I suspect they would actually scale well together. Hmm... I should try to shoot a photo or two of that later!
