I would like to have a great Devestator, but I don't think I would want it to be MP sized. I don't have anywhere to put it. I would just love them to do an accurate Classics version.

I was actually going to start a thread along the lines of "if you could have any gestalt as a Masterpiece, who would it be", but this fits nicely. I am going ALL Masterpiece with my collection (outside of some Binaltechs and my old G1s from childhood), so I am selling a lot of my 3rd party items (also bc I am poor, and need cash for Sideswipe and Soundwave), but I would be very on board with a massive MP Dev, with each member about the size of MP Rodimus. That said, I think I'd somewhat prefer almost any other gestalt, like Superion (with component jets sized to the MP seekers, and really big Silverbolt), and Predaking. But if we get an MP Dev, I'll be putting in the overtime to earn the coin for it!

I take it that you are aware of how annoying you are at times like this.

I think he's being sensible.

Of course he's being sensible.................but one can dream can't he(or she)?

If such a feat were to happen, I would drop anything I'm buying,or saving for, and get them all, "no matter the cost".....

I've been thinking about it since Toyworld released their attempt at it based heavily off Studio Ox's Devastator, and I've pretty much concluded that there's almost no way you could get a perfect cartoon aesthetic in robot mode and anywhere near an accurate construction vehicle. The robot modes are far too simplified, and the combined mode is simplified even further. In short, I think a truely cartoon-accurate Mastepiece Devastator, or any of the Combiners, really, is not possible.

The best we should hope for is an amalgamation of cartoon aesthetics and G1 toy design, which is what Toyworld aaaaalmost delivers, but not entirely. I'm still waiting for another company to refine their attempt, but I've read that Hasbro's CW Devy is as close as they or TT are going to come for a while, and it is frankly not even close.

From what I've been told, Unite Warriors Devastator is pretty much MP quality, with its size and paint job.

If there ever was a Devy released under the MP line, I think the Constructicons would have to be released separately, perhaps with a few months between each release, so as not to totally murder most collectors' wallets.

MP Devastator is a really unviable pipe dream tbh. CW/UW is about as good as it's going to get, officially speaking.

People are free to think as they wish but I dont think he is MP quality. The engineering is much easier and the parts count is much less. What I did say once was that his design is based on an MP design that was done by the same guy who did MP Sideswipe, MP Optimus and many others. So his "look" is MP, which your right means size and paint apps and I am thinking sculpting too. But the feel is not MP, far from it. And Takara officially stated in an interview that there is no plans for an MP Devastator and that UW Devy is the best thing you will get for that character for the time being.
