| Re: Transformers ROTF Supreme Devastator Video Review (947432) Posted by Real Devastator on July 3rd, 2009 @ 3:08am CDT Mixmaster voice gadget pretty annoying.... But surprisingly i like the figure.... Initially thinking of passing him, but now..... | |
| Re: Transformers ROTF Supreme Devastator Video Review (947437) Posted by Lapse Of Reason on July 3rd, 2009 @ 3:25am CDT I like it. Wish it had more detail, but still worthy of purchase. | |
| Re: Transformers ROTF Supreme Devastator Video Review (947454) Posted by LiKwid on July 3rd, 2009 @ 4:54am CDT $100 bucks for 6 tonka construction vehicles? Nah..Pass.. It's wierd.. those review videos normally make me want the figure being reviewed.. In this case.. not.. I would throw mixmaster out the window.... | |
| Re: Transformers ROTF Supreme Devastator Video Review (947458) Posted by Yamz on July 3rd, 2009 @ 5:06am CDT Now that I've seen a decent look of my favorite transformer in the movie, I will probably pick him up after finishing up my voyager and leader collection. Good to know he's missing those silly "wrecking balls" this time. | |
| Re: Transformers ROTF Supreme Devastator Video Review (947624) Posted by Rodimus_light on July 3rd, 2009 @ 12:30pm CDT Wow, I was getting less and less interested in this guy. But holy crap, the pose ability and electronic features are twice what I expected.. He is going to need a little touch up paint but I really like him. Gonna have to save up! | |
| Re: Transformers ROTF Supreme Devastator Video Review (947627) Posted by Overcracker on July 3rd, 2009 @ 12:50pm CDT Kind of disappointed. Won't pick him up full price. Maybe on clearance for like 50 bucks. They could have easily made him a leader class figure, and lost nothing. no way I'm paying $100 bucks for him. | |

| Re: Transformers ROTF Supreme Devastator Video Review (947630) Posted by Wolfman Jake on July 3rd, 2009 @ 1:05pm CDT This looks to be perhaps the easiest combiner transformation in terms of switching from individual bots to the gestalt form yet. Is it the cost of plastic driving the price up to $100 USD? Or did Hasbro waste a lot of money on the R&D trying to design viable limb, vehicle, and bot modes for each Constructicon in the set before scrapping the idea in favor of vehicle to limb transformations only? I can't think of any other justification for this figure being so much more expensive than any other supreme class Transformer. | |
| Re: Transformers ROTF Supreme Devastator Video Review (947638) Posted by Longbridge on July 3rd, 2009 @ 1:17pm CDT Oh my god, what happened to the scaling? Why is Mixmaster so big and Longhaul so small. I can see myself buying this at half the price.....maybe. It's just miles too simple, most of the movie deluxes are more complex and have more detail. | |
| Re: Transformers ROTF Supreme Devastator Video Review (947654) Posted by Zeds on July 3rd, 2009 @ 1:58pm CDT Awesome review | |
| Re: Transformers ROTF Supreme Devastator Video Review (947663) Posted by Agent 007 on July 3rd, 2009 @ 2:15pm CDT what a POS for a hundred bucks I expect some effort. I would have wanted rubber treads, paint apps and actual gimmicks for the individual parts. It may be movie accurate by not having bot modes but hasbro should have then focused on the alt modes more. I might still buy it cause afterall, it's Devi and the vortex gimmick is kinda cool but I would pay at most $40 for it. | |
| Re: Transformers ROTF Supreme Devastator Video Review (947665) Posted by Phenotype on July 3rd, 2009 @ 2:19pm CDT
I was thinking the same thing, especially at the end when he had them all lined up. The scaling is horribly off. | |
| Re: Transformers ROTF Supreme Devastator Video Review (947678) Posted by Archanubis on July 3rd, 2009 @ 2:44pm CDT
I've got to agree. Not worth the $$$. | |
| Re: Transformers ROTF Supreme Devastator Video Review (947726) Posted by Gutter Bunny on July 3rd, 2009 @ 3:06pm CDT meh very underwhelming. Considering the price and the fact that they scrapped the individual bots, they should have been able to make the figure more awe inspiring. I suppose there is still hope that I will fall in love when I actually see the figure, but it is getting more and more unlikely. | |

| Re: Transformers ROTF Supreme Devastator Video Review (947755) Posted by NuclearConvoy on July 3rd, 2009 @ 3:20pm CDT The more I see of this toy, the less I like it. He just doesn't look like something I would have fun with, and his toy proportions don't work for me either. Very, very top heavy. Does he, perchance, look better in a leaning forward and crouched position (more akin to how he moves onscreen in RotF?). For the price point they are asking, I think that more paint applications would be nice. All in all, I think I'm gonna go with the Takara EZ Collection Devastator (each vehicle can form a robot and be part of Devastator and, multiple people agree with me here, overall the Devastator mode looks better). I do, however, like how tight he seems. Very loud clicks. Satisfying sound, IMO. Unsatisfying, however, are Mixmaster's inane amount of noises made with so little effort. He needs his batteries removed. Each individual vehicle, however, looks insanely BORING to transform. What a shame. | |
| Re: Transformers ROTF Supreme Devastator Video Review (947763) Posted by NuclearConvoy on July 3rd, 2009 @ 3:25pm CDT
Agreed. I do, however, see this being a shelfwarmer and getting clearanced, so you very well might be able to pick it up for 40$ down the line. | |
| Re: Transformers ROTF Supreme Devastator Video Review (947795) Posted by Sabrblade on July 3rd, 2009 @ 4:15pm CDT Isn't he supposed to be 2 feet tall (like it was said a million times before)? Cuz he's really only a little taller than Leader Optimus Prime. | |
| Re: Transformers ROTF Supreme Devastator Video Review (947833) Posted by Kibble on July 3rd, 2009 @ 5:14pm CDT Wow, it looks worse than I woulda thought...and I didn't think very highly of it to start. Calling this thing Devoltron is an insult to Voltron. It's more like Dullistator. | |
| Re: Transformers ROTF Supreme Devastator Video Review (947837) Posted by NuclearConvoy on July 3rd, 2009 @ 5:20pm CDT
You made me giggle, thank you. | |
| Re: Transformers ROTF Supreme Devastator Video Review (947849) Posted by Blurrz on July 3rd, 2009 @ 5:43pm CDT
Uhh..... He's not just 'a little taller' ![]() | |
| Re: Transformers ROTF Supreme Devastator Video Review (947854) Posted by jimlv921977 on July 3rd, 2009 @ 5:54pm CDT Ok, Devastator looks cool and the construction vehicles look cool, BUT......each vehicle should have it's own individual robot mode like Devastator originally had. IMO, I think of Vehicle Voltron, those tiny vehicles that combined to form Voltron, when I see this. It does look considerably better than Voltron though. | |
| Re: Transformers ROTF Supreme Devastator Video Review (947859) Posted by DMSL on July 3rd, 2009 @ 6:05pm CDT Great review but i don't like this set at all. Hardly no detail in the individual components, no robot modes either. Then on top of that the scale between each of these is way off. The arm and leg components are too small, the head component is too big. Scavenger is pretty darn big, wish the Voyager Demolishor was actually made in that scale with electronics that would rock. Now that i think of it why didn't Hasbro make us a decent combiner. Leader classes of Mixmaster and Scavenger/Demolishor and Voyagers of the others. Scrap the shitty third modes and it could've been done. Ok maybe you would've had a slightly compromised Devastator but it would be better than this Fisher Price waste of plastic. Epic fail. | |
| Re: Transformers ROTF Supreme Devastator Video Review (947862) Posted by GetterDragun on July 3rd, 2009 @ 6:08pm CDT
They never scrapped the individual robot mode, Movie Devestator doesn't have individual robot modes. | |
| Re: Transformers ROTF Supreme Devastator Video Review (947866) Posted by Blurrz on July 3rd, 2009 @ 6:18pm CDT
C'mon buddy. First off... the Robots that combine to form Devastator DO NOT have individual robot modes. Let's just say he has 7 different personalities. If Hasbro wanted to make 'a decent combiner', then they would. But they wouldn't make individual robot modes for these because it's just not what they were. Secondly, you wanted the components to be bigger? Take into consideration the price now... $110? With the increased size, this figure will have no stability, the components will probably not stick together due to gravity, and you're looking at an over $200 market price, something any collector, RoTFan, and toddler's mom is not going to buy. | |
| Re: Transformers ROTF Supreme Devastator Video Review (947870) Posted by NuclearConvoy on July 3rd, 2009 @ 6:21pm CDT
So, when did we get a name for fans of the second film? | |
| Re: Transformers ROTF Supreme Devastator Video Review (947873) Posted by Blurrz on July 3rd, 2009 @ 6:29pm CDT
Me. XD | |
| Re: Transformers ROTF Supreme Devastator Video Review (947893) Posted by Sabrblade on July 3rd, 2009 @ 7:05pm CDT Looks only a "little taller" to me. Either way, Leader Prime's about only one foot tall. Seeing how Devy measures to Leader Prime, I'd say he's definitely shorter than two feet... ...Wait! Where did the news of him being 2 feet two originate from anyway? I remember hearing it, but who was it that told us all originally? | |
| Re: Transformers ROTF Supreme Devastator Video Review (947916) Posted by Bouncy X on July 3rd, 2009 @ 7:56pm CDT after finally seeing the movie, this whole "non robot mode" thing actually makes sense now. because in the movie, we never see anyone transform into the vehicles and them combine. the vehicles are all just sitting around and seem to get sucked together and form Devastator. and then while he's busy climbing the pyramid, we see some of the Constructicons in robot mode being involved in the attack on the soldiers and the kids. so it makes it seem that just like the toys, there are two sets of Constructitcons. one set thats just vehicles and one set that becomes robots. | |
| Re: Transformers ROTF Supreme Devastator Video Review (947963) Posted by Real Devastator on July 3rd, 2009 @ 9:24pm CDT Eager to see someone repaint it and add in necessary paint details. Maybe it will look better | |
| Re: Transformers ROTF Supreme Devastator Video Review (947982) Posted by Wheeljack144 on July 3rd, 2009 @ 10:00pm CDT He would be a must if he were half the price. I can wait until then. | |
| Re: Transformers ROTF Supreme Devastator Video Review (947995) Posted by Sabrblade on July 3rd, 2009 @ 10:25pm CDT I'm sure Reprolabels will have a field day with this figure. Especially with the face (what with the figure having a silver face and the final movie model having a red face). | |
| Re: Transformers ROTF Supreme Devastator Video Review (948004) Posted by Warbreaker on July 3rd, 2009 @ 10:44pm CDT I like my transformers big. This guy is a behemoth. HECK YEAH I LIKE! | |
| Re: Transformers ROTF Supreme Devastator Video Review (948009) Posted by Night00glider on July 3rd, 2009 @ 10:46pm CDT POSITIVE : A) Easy transformations and combining B) Bigger N better C) Great articulations and tight joint D) Sounds , lights and open up mouth E) Solid figure NEGATIVE : A) Too expensive (100$ ?? In malaysia its MYR 500 !!!) B) Lack of detail and paint C) Mixmaster doesnt shut up when transform him D) Doesnt have Overload like in the Legend class E) Cant trasnform into individual character So , Should you get it or not ?? Give me your answer .... | |
| Re: Transformers ROTF Supreme Devastator Video Review (948038) Posted by bdragonbrother on July 4th, 2009 @ 12:01am CDT ugh, i can't wait to see someone do an amazing repaint of this horrendous beast. why such a lack of detail is beyond me. if it looked like less of a tonka truck, i would think about shelling out the cash. but that is just ridiculous. | |
| Re: Transformers ROTF Supreme Devastator Video Review (948046) Posted by Gutter Bunny on July 4th, 2009 @ 12:12am CDT
I'm aware of that. What I meant was: considering they didn't bother giving the components individual robot modes(in movie or toy form). "Scrapped" was in fact the wrong choice of words. | |
| Re: Transformers ROTF Supreme Devastator Video Review (948050) Posted by Autobot Hero on July 4th, 2009 @ 12:18am CDT Man now I want to get it...ugh. I'll probably wait for sale price. | |
| Re: Transformers ROTF Supreme Devastator Video Review (948054) Posted by macdre73 on July 4th, 2009 @ 12:30am CDT When I first heared this toy was going to be released, I was ready to camp out at my local Toys R Us. However after this review I will not be picking this beast up (at least not for the initial price). The combined robot looks kinda cool but thats where the WOW factor ends for me. Here are my issues with this toy. 1. The lack of detail for each vehicle is inexcusable. Really, how much would a little extra paint drive up the cost? 2. As everyone else has stated, the scaling is way off and just too wired for vehicles who are supposed to be a team. I know Scavenger is supposed to be the biggest, but wasn't Longhaul a beast in the movie as well? 3. I just cannot get over the cheap plastic look of this set. I think labeling this Tonka is a compliment. I'm thinking more Fisher Price. 4. Finally, wasn't Devi supposed to be the biggest and baddest mofo in the world? Well being only a few inches taller than Prime just doesn't give me that feel for a bad dude such as Devi. Also was it just me or was Devi in the movie kind of a let down? I was expecting him to do some serious a$$ kicking. | |
| Re: Transformers ROTF Supreme Devastator Video Review (948063) Posted by Kibble on July 4th, 2009 @ 1:08am CDT
I think the toy is quite movie accurate...he was lame in the movie and the toy follows suit! | |
| Re: Transformers ROTF Supreme Devastator Video Review (948065) Posted by muscle maximus on July 4th, 2009 @ 1:12am CDT I LIKE IT BUT YEA THE PRICE AHHH! BUT i WILL HAVE TO FORK OUT THE DOE!!!!!!! WHATS THE REALEASE DATE FOR HIM IN THE US..ANYONE? | |
| Re: Transformers ROTF Supreme Devastator Video Review (948098) Posted by nemeos on July 4th, 2009 @ 4:01am CDT Huh... wait. So doesn't this make him a movie "inaccurate" Devs? the 7 nontransforming elements are the ones that form Devs in the movie, right? and the OTHER 6 constructicon team is doing battle, and we never see an Overload "clone" right? (i saw Scrapper, Mixmaster, Longhaul, Rampage.. it seems hightower was there when the constructicons descend into the trench to revive megatron, you get a closeup of his crane?... Demolishor got killed at the beginning...) So shouldn't it have included the overload component? ...also... who is "the little one" that serves as parts for Megs? | |
| Re: Transformers ROTF Supreme Devastator Video Review (948102) Posted by Nightwalker on July 4th, 2009 @ 4:41am CDT Nice review but I'll still pass. $100 is still to much for the toy. | |
| Re: Transformers ROTF Supreme Devastator Video Review (948116) Posted by Mykltron on July 4th, 2009 @ 6:23am CDT
Someone who visited the factory or something. As for him being much taller... well it depends whether you measure height by where the top of the head is or where the top of his hump is. Why do all the pics of this toy have him as a biped when in the film he is a quadroped? For the price the transformations really ought to be more complex - they're easy by G1 standards and they've made very little attempt to match the CGI, which doesn't look like a pile of vehicles. They should have made more effort to integrate the vehicles of the body. | |
| Re: Transformers ROTF Supreme Devastator Video Review (948128) Posted by TylerDante69 on July 4th, 2009 @ 7:54am CDT a $100.00 for a LEADER CLASS FIGURE!!!???? yup and Prime is still taller, i look at their eyes for height not the top of head. unless he can stand with his legs extended then i guess he's taller than prime but only for a little. Isn't there a bigger version of Devastator that will be available in 2010????? | |
| Re: Transformers ROTF Supreme Devastator Video Review (948223) Posted by monkymn00 on July 4th, 2009 @ 11:23am CDT Why would you go to their eyes for height? I doubt there will be a bigger one in 2010 or whatever, unless you want to pay triple the price, which I'm sure you won't. | |
| Re: Transformers ROTF Supreme Devastator Video Review (948230) Posted by InvaderJes on July 4th, 2009 @ 11:45am CDT Great review, but not-so-great toy. Pass. | |
| Re: Transformers ROTF Supreme Devastator Video Review (948291) Posted by Warbreaker on July 4th, 2009 @ 2:19pm CDT
I'm sticking with my "YESSSS!!!" But first...
WHAT!? YOU SERIOUS??? And over there halfway across the world the US fans are complaining about deluxes going $10 to $15 or so when we got to fork out RM60 for 'em (roughly $2 more according to current conversion rates)... Pah, stop complaining already about rising prices, you guys still have it cheaper. So, back to the topic: where did you get this price from? Don't quote eBay prices, I think them sellers have as much of an idea on the retail price at this moment just as much as we do. That is to say, not much at all.
Eh, well, big deal for me, I gots me some black, silver and gold marker pens, some dabbing in spots where my fingers can't reach and he'll be looking miles better (cheap methods that work without having to buy heavy-duty testors or tamiya paint...yesss...)
You can always either: 1)Ignore the noisy fella 2)Wear ear plugs or 3)Yank out the batteries
Don't need 'im. I have seen him in the movie, killing my notion that he merely exists in the EZ Devastator as back structural support for the legends combiner, but personally, I don't really think he's necessary. Too many chefs(combining limbs?) spoil the broth(combiner?). Besides, I'd like to have Devastator's number of components as 6, the same number as that on G1 Devastator. Definitely passing the legends version.
*shrugs shoulders* Oh well. Like I said, big deal for me. I'm already happy and impressed with the excellently-done non-combining members (Demolishor, Rampage and Mixmaster are stuck on the top of my shelf with Long Haul joining them soon, waiting for pictures of the other 3 to surface). | |
| Re: Transformers ROTF Supreme Devastator Video Review (948321) Posted by skywarp-2 on July 4th, 2009 @ 3:52pm CDT 1st off, excellent review.. great job, top notch. on another note.. What a colossal Hunk of Plastic Junk!! besides the obvious gimmick of the head, the constructicons are less detailed then expected, colors are totally without deviation on the individual bots.. and overall, it looks like a toy for 5 year old to play with..Not anywhere near as well thought out or planned like the HA bumblebee.. I'd be embarrassed to even display Optimus Leader class with that piece of utter crap.. I'd buy it anyways, but only on clearance.. and even then it'd have to be when I'm just desperate for a new bot... On a side note: Hasbro has been really kinda missing the boat with these Supreme Class figures to tie in on the movie.. I mean Ultimate BumbleBee ( too expensive, cheesy, and stupidly ridiculous..) And yes, for the record, I know Ultimate bumblebee is not a supreme class fig..Damn Know it alls! then devastator.. what a joke.. maybe they will redeem themselves in transformers 3? who knows..?? Still no sign of Leader Starscream, Blackout, and or a leader version of any other well liked bot.. what a shame..tisk, tisk.. they have a limited window to cash in to the mass appeal.. and squander it with something like this.. | |
| Re: Transformers ROTF Supreme Devastator Video Review (948380) Posted by Night00glider on July 4th, 2009 @ 7:59pm CDT
Okay Maybe I wrong , Maybe it about MYR 350-400 ....
For the non-combining , mixmaster and long haul I will buy , but not know cause I want to buy the autobots first , rampage maybe , but demolishor is NOT ... because he so small | |
