See the colours. the ColoUrs! Look, Takara we use red too.

Tomy Takara Version ROTF Supreme Devastator has been released in Japan on 16th September 2009. Asian countries are also receiving this new version of Devastator.

XL Toys Forum posted the in-package images of the toy. As we have reported before, Takara version spotted a slight different paintwork, notably on the Devastator'face.

Well it's the first time that i made a critic to this toy, the Supreme Devastator.
Hasbro said that they made this giant to be more accurate to the movie, they said that if the individually robots has more than one mode beside veicule mode they wont be perfect. So just one question: What happen to the number 7 constructicon the red truck? In the movie i saw 7 Constructicons so where's number seven? The EZ Devastator is much smaller cheaper and it's more accurate than this over expensive robot.

The box once agains looks the same except the ROTF Takara Sticker. Am I the only one here more intersted in how the cashier/employee holding the boxes looks like?

Oh she looks like a cutie. Asian/Japanese chicks are hooot.

The pics remind me of the eBay auction for the xbox 360 that had a nude girl's breasts pressed against the top of the box. As I recall it sold for quite a lot despite the girl not being included. A shame I can't find pics.

Exactly wonder if this is in Japan or Hong Kong?

You guys are great...I was thinking the same thing!

Hehe, it's good to see that despite being addicted to plastic crack, the guys have proper priorities. Ladies first.

While the red on the head sculpt is more screen accurate, I like the Hasbro all-grey face Supreme Devastator.

Nice. do you know when it will come out to U.S.A? where did you get these
pics.?????, there is likely to be not more than a 100,00,000 of those U.S.A
more than 9000. I'm not sure. I went to ask this Japan girl if she knew if any of those will come here. she didn't know she said she would ask someone she knows to get them here. it's most likely that you can't get
those in stores. you maybe have to pre-order it. I'm not sure. there's a
slight chance that you can get them here. but for Japan and China. I'm sure there's a 100,000,00,000,00,000 mile long mine of them. Not sure. it
might be a good idea to pre-order it that just get bags ready travel to
Japan get it then get out, so just pre-order it.

I love the Hasbro Supreme Devastator simply because of its price compared to the Takara one.

28 days... 6 hours... 42 minutes... 12 seconds. That... is when the world... will end.

Nah, this is just Tangent Universe Devastator.

"It takes a large metal object falling to change time to the presupposed line. Like a jet engine. Or Devastator's balls."

Donnie Darko ROCKS!!! and this Devastator is growing on me as well. As for the Asian chicky, 96% of them look gorgeous to me.

still looks like ass... the face, it's top heavy, was a "pet drone" in the movie.... on and on and on

instead of a repaint of a bad mold/character, can they instead go back a few years and never come up with this craptastic ruin of a great character

same old discussion about how crap Devastator is. We need pics of the girl's face now to save this topic.

I like RotF Devastator overall. My main criticism of the Supreme class toy is that it's not a proper combiner.

Is it bc it's lacking individual robot modes for the components?

Yup. I assume part of the reason for Supreme Devastator's mechanical design is because the sheer mass of its combined form likely requires specialized parts for support rather than normal figures-that-turn-into-bodyparts.

So I understand the resulting design of Supreme Devastator but to me, some of the fun of a combiner is the individual robots. When I look at combiner sets, I look at it as getting twice the amount of toys as there are individual figures(alt+bot modes) plus 1(the combined form). There's so much potential for display and play with that amount of options. It's why I would rather have the EZ Collection Devastator set rather than the Supreme version.

I like the red paint on his face...looks movie accurate.

So lets see how much the greedy Jap company will ask for this one...my guess $250 US dollars.

If I were to speculate, I would say that the Supreme Devastator is more aimed at little kids, can you imagine the horror the parents would've gone through if each had a robot form? I plan on getting the EZ Collection Devastator too, simply bc of the reason you said, size wise for display.

Also, y'know, it's movie accuracy. For a bunch of people that are always complaining that the figures aren't movie-accurate, you all sure seem to overlook when it actually is. In the movie (if I recall correctly, which I think I do) there were two sets of constructicons. One that went vehicle-to-Devastator, and another that went vehicle-to-individual-robots. That's why we don't have individual figures for each of the seperate constructicons, because they weren't all there in the movie. Only Long Haul, Mixmaster, that jackhammer one whose name I forget, and the steamshovel whose name I forget were actually there.

Same thing goes for the Jazz figure from the first movie. When you think about it, his weapon was one of the most screen-accurate ones. Instead of holding his gun like a G1 figure would've, his was part of his arm, much like it was in the movie.

One of the problems with movie accuracy for the toy is that Supreme Devastator has 6 components instead of the 7 in the movie.

I personally assess Transformers from the movie line looking for a balance of movie accuracy and design as a toy. If I can get a decent ratio of both factors, I'm happy. Supreme Devastator just doesn't do it for me as a combiner toy. It's just a huge figure that is composed of different parts that can separate. The design of the character is cool, though.

I could care less about Supreme Devastator being accurate or not, but it would've been great if they had given Movie Jazz some arms and hands.

Very nice toys. I've got collection of toys mostly robots. Can I see a pic of this toy?
