Hasbro has also given out special edition commemorative coin for the purchase of this box set.

Check out the images we mirrored below:

Does that mean we'll get this bad boy stateside?

I think Hasbro's had a few too many failures on their reissues to bother with an own version of Devastator.

This set looks very nice again! If I didn't have a vintage complete G1 constructicons set, I'd definitely be getting this one. I'm both glad and disappointed that these are practically the same as the original release: a variation would have been nice but would also have forced me to buy him again!
I thought this version of Devastator's lower arms were going to be black? It looks like they are once again purple, like on the original Devastator...

Well, as one of the top Transformers fan sites, we still have to show our support to official products over the non-official no matter what.... :grin:

Considering many of the original creators of the 1984 figures are dead or in a nursing home, It's hard to respect the new owners of copyrights that have been bought and sold countless times. This renders the word "official" almost meaningless. On paper, Michael Jackson's family owns the copyrights to the Beatles music. But how many Beatles fans actually respect or even aknowledge that ownership ? Hasbro/Takara is nothing more than a company. The "support" needs to be given to the creators of the figures, not the corparate entity that funds their production.

With that being said, I think fan sites should show unbiased support for all companies in the market. Just because someone was first, doesnt make them the best. Just my opinion.

RatedX said being the first doesn't make you the best

Well said. Michael Jordan comes to mind.

I'm not even gonna bother anymore... I'm just gonna say that's not how copyright works in the toy production world, and leave it at that >:oP

And wait... why would Hasbro want a slice of Takara's reissue pie?

I thought after Perceptor and Insecticons they were bouncing back. Though we haven't seen anything since.
