At long last third-party toy company MakeToys has fully revealed their Devastator homage MT-03 Giant. They have updated their website with unblurred images of all six team members in robot and vehicle mode as well as some new images of their combined mode. The only thing that isn't fully on display is the combined robot's face. Images mirrored below.

That Long Haul figure looks horrid but the rest are pretty decent.

WOW This thing looks so much like the 1985 individual constructicons/Devestator.

this giant is a work of art. Each individual giant constructicon tries really hard to mimic the designs of the 1985 individual constructicons.
the giant devestator mode really does a great job of trying to mimic the 1985 devestator designs. perfect job,another great 3rd party toy.

Deluxe scale for each giant constructicon means their in 1984-1986 cartoon/movie size scale.

I Think the giant devestator mode is leader sized. which puts in in scale with the energon 5-in-1 combiners gestalts.

I really Hate the "Hercules". Because I'm all about scale & exact updated homages. having each individual hercules constructicon be voyager size makes them over-sized & have no original 1985 cartoon nor 1985 toy scale.

I don't like the hercules individual robot modes. because they look nothing like the 1985 constructicons robot modes. at best they look like something similar to the CR/RID 4 constructicon bots or various other constructicon bots from the years 2001 thru 2011.

Really? I thought he was the coolest looking of the bunch. Also it seems this Dev will have a visor, which will make some people happy.

I can't wait.

Sweet pics, but there's some "kibble" hanging out in the nether regions!

Now for color pictures, CAT yellow and G1 green.

It looks like he has to pop a squat.

That really looks good so far, I can't wait to see it in color. Also, it looks like Devastator's head is there, just look at the crane that forms his shoulders (I forget its name). In vehicle mode, you can clearly see what looks like Devy's "helmet", so more than likely the crane's head is up when combined with the rest and the "helmet" goes on top. The head just looks pushed back.

I had always planned on getting both Hercules and Giant, but up until now I had favored Hercules. These images combined with TFC's QC issue have changed my mind. Still getting both, but I'm really diggin Giant!

All things being equal, TFC looks better. Unless this thing is way cheaper, I dont see why you would pick it.

That and his dangly bits are all hanging out.

My guess,this was done on purpose to make a joke about the ROTF movie devestator scene.

most likely the "nether regions kibble" on giant can be adjusted to not be in the nether regions area. the crane can most likely adjust to another non-nether region area on the giant toy.

Because some,like myself favor the more exact updatted homage & the more appropiate size scaled version. TFC Hercules loses on both accounts. TFC Hercules is too over sized in the individual voyager sized constructicons & supreme sized Devestator. TFC Hercules individual robot modes & devestator mode look less like the 1985 invididual constructicons/devestator than giant does.

Having a huge TFC Hercules devestator that is supreme sized might seem cool. but it's over sized & some prefer perfect size scaled TF toys. G-1 Combiners were not shown as supreme sized toys in the 1980's. the supreme size scale should only be reserved for planet formers or city formers.

the 1985 individual constructicons toys were basic or legends sized. the 1985 constructicons on the cartoon were shown as deluxe scale. as they were in similar scale to the average medium autobots like jazz,prowl,ironhide,wheeljack.

The TFC Hercules individual constructicons robot modes don't even try to mimic the 1985 individual constructicons robot modes.

At the very least Giant's individual constructicons are in proper deluxe size scale cartoon 1984-1986 media size scale. the giant devestator appears to be leader sized. which put's him around 9.5 to 10 inches tall. the original 1985 devestator toy was aroound 8 inches tall,so another 1.5 or 2 inches isn't that big of a addition.

Giant's individual constructicons robots modes do try their best to mimic the 1985 constructicons toy/cartoon designs.

Giant's devestator mode looks more like the 1985 Devesator toy/cartoon designs. and TFC Hercules looks less like the 1985 Devestator toy/cartoon designs.

I'm sick & tired of radical updates that look next to nothing like the original toy. I hate over sized or under-sized updated homage new molds.
