they seem roughly deluxes to me.

They're approximately Voyager size.

Pros
It's a huge Devastator.
They're green.
TFC did replace Scavanger's shovel for free.


Cons
The price.
Not in scale with Classics
No cartoon homage except for Scrapper.


And the big question - How will Devastator hold together once he is assembled?

With you all the way on this. I'd add as a con that the combined Devsatator looks very Soul of Chogokin-not a good match for Classics figures, especially since the separate figures look very G1.

And based on how long my TFC GoW2 gun welds held together, I'm still afraid of their long term durability (mainly the connection points).

I think these are a great match for the classics line. I mean each one is almost the same size as Prime. I mean in real life these things would be larger than a Tractor Trailer Truck. Also The comined form is going to be huge. Sure the actual scale should be a little larger if you want it in scale. But look at G1, the original devestator was tiny. Also the actual classics devestator is crap.

Voyager sized. Scavenger is about the size of Classics Prime.

I think this guy will suffice as a classics Devy but I think the individual bots are a little blocky to match the Classics aesthetics.

Nothing's blockier than Universe Inferno / Grapple. Not really Classics per-say, but Label Soundwave is also blocky. And let's not forget the blocky glory of City Commander.

I don't plan on putting them with the Classics guys, anyways. This is just a super nice Devastator. Which should say a lot since I am almost exclusively a Classics collector. I'd rather just get another FP upgrade for the REAL Classics Devastator, because personally I liked it already, but elbows would be nice... Like Superion. God, if any set needed an upgrade it was that one.

When I get my house back in shape, I will be trying to put some of these individually on the shelf as Classics. I think they can fit, but 'my classics' may not look like 'your classics'. I have pieces from ROTF in it, as well as UNIVERSE, CLASSICSs, UNITED, HENKEI. But I may not be as particular as some folks. I mean if you have an Animated Arcee in there, or an Armada Tidalwave, you can stick this in there.

A very valid point. I have a few cybertron repaints thrown in there. They are pretty blocky as well.

they do look kind of blocky but the combined mode looks fantastic. i think thats what their main focus was. thats not to say the individual toys doesnt look stunning either....because they do
