It could be 5 individual figures plus the combined figure.

Also spot Masterpiece Bluestreak, the packaging for an upcoming Generations: Combiner Wars Deluxe (looks to be black/dark brown and purple... Blast Off, maybe?), and a three pack of... I don't know.

I initially got quite happy about this until I remembered I have a Hercules at home. Do I want two Devys?

Pretty sure Devastator has committed a few war crimes in his day.

Would Hasbro release official pictures in light of this event and many people seeing their upcoming toys? Is there any precedence to Transformer news emerging from the Nuremburg toy fair?

The way I understand it it's a mostly private event, reserved for businesses and the press. The NY Toy Fair, SDCC and BotCon are where the major public reveals take place.

It is, but really hard for me to get to, travel-wise.
As far as I know, it's the same deal as the UK one, and anyone can get in (though with different permissions). Dead Metal might have more details on that.
It is, though, the biggest event in Europe for the industry, as it covers all markets that are not the UK - not technically true, but that seems to be the case.
In terms of news, there have been some things coming out of it, but nothing gigantic (heh).
Compare the following:

Doubtful, unless there is a press release from Hasbro GmbH or EU. I'm keeping an eye out for those.

Thanks!!! I would say "you cant guess my excitement on this thing" but I'm pretty sure you can in this case.

Bigger than Omega Supreme, but smaller than Metroplex. If you stack up a voyager standing up and two more on their sides on top of that, you don't get anything nearly as tall as Metroplex. Even a Leader with a voyager stacked on top isn't as tall.

Different person, I said it last time, and for the record, I'm reserving judgement on this puppy until we get a clear shot. It is promising, though.

Wolfman Jake wrote:Okay, here is my quick and dirty estimation of the height of Generations Devistator. Assuming the man in the picture is of average height for an adult human male, 5'10", the Devistator in the picture is about one fourth the height of the man, or 1'5.5" tall, up to the top of Devistator's head. That's quite a bit shorter than Metroplex at just over 2'0". If you count the crane arm behind his left shoulder, then we're talking about 1'11.3", still shorter than Metroplex, but not by much. I'd say the scale is pretty good. Devistator should be a BEAST, but he will still be much smaller than Metroplex. He'll be a good rival for Platinum Edition Omega Supreme.
Metroplex was pretty, but there really wasn't much to him but height. As long as he's in scale with the other combiners, it doesn't really matter if he's as tall as a city. He shouldn't be, anyway.

YES! That's what I wanted.
This is becoming less of a fantasy and more of a reality
Also, that means he will be a better match since he will be bigger than the third party toys!

What's on the shelf directly under Bluestreak? It's sporting a decepticon logo and looks too small for the coneheads

Yes, Devastator shouldn't be as tall as Metroplex, and it looks like he indeed won't be. I think you misunderstood me when I said Devastator should be a "beast" but not nearly as tall as Metroplex. I want him to be about on par with Omega Supreme, which it seems will be the case.
