All Components of Studio Series Devastator Combiner Revealed with Release Schedule

I disagree. I cannot speak for everyone but money isn't necessarily tight but it doesn't flow like a tap, so splitting the 8 figures up over 2 years spaces it out and allows smaller purchases across time that spending about 200 quid at once. particularly if I'm right and Scavanger is a leader class figure.

So, are the wrecking balls included?

No, that'll be a 3p add-on

OK, so I am disappointed in Devastator taking 2 years to complete.

But, this brings up 2 good things/points:

1) Maybe they are going to stick with 2 leaders a year in the first wave like they did last year with Grimlock and Blackout, and maybe this year with Megatron and Jetfire. The leaders next year, or 1 later this year could be Scavenger and even Overload or Mixmaster.

2) This means more figures can be voyagers by allotting them proper space and not overloading (heh) a wave with constructicons.

So we could end up with deluxe Scrapmetal and Hightower, Voyager Long Haul, Rampage, Scrapper, Mixmmaster, and Overload, and Leader Scavenger and potentially Overload and/or Mixmaster

Your face is long dead.

Your access to these forums is about to be dead.

If nothing else, the Constructions being split over two years gives me time to decide whether or not I actually want to go down that particular rabbit hole. So far Rampage is the only Constructicon I'm definitely going to buy, though Scrapmetal and Lomg Haul are on my 2019 maybe pile. If I decide not to complete the line-up, I may end up just getting those three and Mixmaster.

About Devastator, keep in mind that this is the Japanese schedule which doesn't always match up with Hasbro's. Some figures are released roughly the same time, but others, like ROTF Starscream coming in January or helicopter Dropkick coming in March, are way off. Those 2020 release from Takara Tomy could be late 2019 for Hasbro.

That's Chinese, so it's still Hasbro schedule give or take a few months. TakaraTomy releases do usually come later than Hasbro, but both sets of 4 should still be released within the two years specified.
