ROTF Supreme Devastator Set in Package

Reminds me of the old Power ranger and Voltron toys. But im gonna pass on this one too.

PASS!

Im just trying to figure out how far this thing will have to be marked down for me to pick it up. The idea was growing on me, but somehow seeing that face in the box just ruins it. I am almost thinking that this may be a Target 70% markdown, but I will probably consider it at 50% off. We will see how it looks in store and reserve final judgment. Definately not worth buying a second if they do a G1 colored repaint.

The fact that there's a "try me" on the crotch, makes this totally worth buying.

I'm a little confused though. The Legends version requires 7 figures, but this one requires only 6. So will there be 6 or 7 in the movie?

OH MY GOD...this looks awesome, unfortunate about the no robot modes, but that wont stop me buying this wonderful figure. Any idea how much ($AUD) this'll set me back, and can someone 'decode' the bio for devastator...i cant read it lol

Pass ... I want the legends set...

Pass-arooney. Don't need it, does not look cool enough, Would rather have a masterpiece seeker for the cash and Ill take the Legends set with the change.

Then when there's a scaled up knock off version of the legends set in G1 colours ill have that un all.

Nice box though

Lovely sharp corners that's going to take some kids eyey out.

EPIC PASS.

Needs some extra paint, kinda pissed-off that it's missing one component. but I'll wait for better pictures to surface before I decide to buy it.

Still don't like the design of Devastator and having 6 vehicles that don't transform to robots is the final nail in the coffin for me, PASS!!!

What I can decode from the blurriness...

"The ultimate DECEPTICON weapon has arrived on Earth, and nothing will ever be the same. CONSTRUCTICON DEVASTATOR is the biggest robot ever towering above AUTOBOTS and DECEPTICONS alike. As his Vortex Grinder snaps open and glows with power, all before him quake in fear, knowing their destruction is inevitable!"

Hrmmmmm... I'll wait to see him in stores before I make up any 'buy' or 'pass' decisions.

I'm so confused-is Devastator going to be 6 or 7 robots? The legends set is 7.

The flip/flop naming of Demolisher/Scavenger is strange too.

Pass. These guys must be able to change into robots for me to pick it up. It's ironic, really. If this were labeled 'Voltron' or something, not changing into robots would be acceptable.

Finally, I guarantee some store will get this as an exclusive re-colored G1 Devastator. I speculate the 'Scavenger' name was applied (or reserved) because of this. Maybe I'll pick up, then. See how the pricing works out.

Skip.

If I find it 50+ % off ... maybe.

do the deluxe figures combine? or is this it for devistator?

ok first off,


Demolisher and Scavenger are TWO separate robots.



second,



i'll only buy this if this SO CALLED SUPREME FIGURE is taller than the ROTF Leader Class robots.

Where did you get this from?

Some are Voyager-class, too. None of them, however combine. The only version that offers all 3 modes (so far) is the EZ version (legend size) from Takara.

From all the marketing layouts of the robot listings they list Scavenger and Demolisher as separate characters.

And the toys are also way differnt.


Even wiki lists them as 2 separate bots

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revenge_of_the_Fallen

Demolisher and Scavenger, two robots that share the same alt mode, same robot mode and same general color scheme...I said it before and I'll say it again, it smells fishy.

I think I'll pass and wait to see if perchance Hasbro/Takara/whoever would release in the future a Devastator that will be larger in size and with vehicles that have robot modes.

And has anyone else noticed how Devastator in the movie clips walks on all fours like an animal? I think it is an interesting idea--the mental capacity of the six having to work together lowered G1 Devastator's IQ. Maybe that's the point of him crawling around instead of walking...forming an animalistic creature rather than a normal robot...

TylerDante69 wrote:ok first off,

Look at Legends Scavenger in Robot Mode:


He looks exactly like Voyager Demolishor:



How can you not see the obvious resemblance between the two?

Wikipedia is not a reliable source. So that proves nothing.

Just because a character is animalistic doesn't mean that their intelligence is low, Sky Lynx is proof of this.

Then again, this isn't G1 and Bay can very well do what he wants.

He has to walk on all-fours because his massive body is too heavy and prevents him from being able stand upright on his legs.

I am a sucker for gestalt gift sets. Love combiner teams. This one though may make me change my mind on that now.

I still think the reason for Scavenger and Demolisher is because Prime slags one in the begining of the movie (in China) and another bot is brought in to replace him for the final battle in Egypt.

That thing is suppose to be $100 and suppose to tower Fortress Maximus? I think not. I'll wait for them to make another set that does have robot modes and towers Fortress Maximus if it does happen.

I'm certainly not happy Devy's not getting a release outside of Legends class with three modes, but I do plan on getting this. I want an accurate depiction of him from the movie and this guy does accomplish that.

I think im gonna pass on him until he goes on clerence. I wouldn't pay more that $40 on him.

im going to get it, also the constructicons who transform in to robots. why get both cuss it makes a cool stopmotion vedio. also its a must for a transform fan. but i know some one some wear,a fan will make a custom movie devastator, but it will come with a lost. the lost will be the transformation of the constructicons being a weapon, and that is a good thing. and have the conponets that make dev put in to the cons. that way you have a transforming devastator, that can come apart and be its constructicons who can also transform in to robots.

It's a shame that the voyagers and deluxes don't combine. It's not because of the complexity in my mind but because of the sound and lights they want in the big devastator.
Still, I'm a sucker for combiners and the movie so I'm going to get the big wallet killer as well as the other TF's.
I don't think it's an epic fail.
What I do think is an epic fail is that at http://www.tfw2005.com you have to slagging log in to see a slaggin picture! I mean, WTF people?

This site should be renamed "Seiberbitch.com"

I'm getting this...Indivdual robots look freaking retarded anyway and would never see the light of day in my posession even if they WERE available from the combining figures...

And who the hell ever said it was going to "tower over Fortress Maximus"??

Epic fail.

You hit the nail on the head, IMO.

It reminds me of my voltron set "now form arms and legs..."

The wikipedia page has Demolisher separate form the rest of the constructicons so he might not even be one, just coincidentally a construction vehicle.

Why are poeple believing the Wikipedia page? Demolisher and Scavenger are the same figure. Demolisher has "SCVNGR" written on him. The only questionable figure is Overload.

What the ****? They dont even have robot modes? Theis is Hasbro's most epic failure. All of these ROTFs look like and are serious SHIT!!!!!!!!!

I can't believe they want $100 for that. That's twice last year price of a Supreme.

There's no way in heck that thing is bigger than Fort Max. If it is, I'll be the first to start a petition thread for a Universe 3.0 Fort Max!

Nah all this confusion was started by the writers, stating that Overload is part of Devastator and that Scavenger and Demolisher are two different characters while Demolisher's not even a Constructicon.
We'll know everything once the movie comes out.

but yea, I wouldn't trust wikipedia and go with tfwiki who still have Demolisher and Scavenger listed as one and the same guy till there is proof that they really are separate.

Several of us already had this fight in a couple of other threads. To make the toy on this scale AND give it all the same functionality as what the Deluxe and Voyager components have would leave you with a floppy, fall-apart, frustrating piece of crap that only (some) collectors would be able to tolerate and no kid in Hasbros target demographic would be able to play with and enjoy without breaking it almost immediately or having it frustrate him inside of 5 minutes and I don't give a rats ass what anyone thinks to the contrary. It's just that simple. They cannot do it and retain ALL the proper characteristics so they went with pleasing the little kids since that's their meal ticket.
All I hope for is that this thing is NEVER released in G1 colors...EVER!
I look forward to seeing the Movie, I can't wait to see this guy on the big screen and I would love to get the Legends set and the Voyager class Mixmaster.
The rest of it, as far as both sets of toys go (this thing and the other Deluxe/Voyager components) make for a festering crap-pile and it will be a total insult to give these...things... G1 Constructicon colors.

The confusion is not over Demolisher and Scavenger, that was done by Hasbro...the confusion over the 7th constructicon is that Overload is listed ans the Takara Legends have 7 figures to make up Devestator.

I'm affraid I have to agree with T-Macksimus on this.

It would have been nice to get devastator from the separate constructicons. but to make it look somewhat movie accurate would have been a little tricky.
I don't mind this solution.

although I do understand the frustration of the hardcore fan who is going to have to buy all these extra toys because of this.

I'm just throwing it out there as a possibility. There isn't enough info to know for sure yet. Although Demolisher's bio says when he came to earth Megatron was destroyed, but in the trailers we see the Constructicons are the ones who revived him. So he does seem to be on his own alot for someone who's part of a combiner team.

Um, of course Megatron was destroyed when the Constructicons came to Earth. Otherwise, they wouldn't be reviving him if he wasn't destroyed.

I actually agree with his/your point.

There is just no way I will buy all of this "product" though. No freaking way. It might be the case that the engineering obstacles are too much to overcome, but it's still a silly situation especially at that price point. As far as durability........it's very likely going to be just as durable as any other TF, which is not meant to be a compliment. This thing is going to crumble in the hands of a child who actually "plays" with it. $100 down the drain in a matter of days. I wouldn't gripe nearly as much if this toy were priced just a smidge more appropriately. $100 is just a bit insulting to everyone, not just the fans.

One more thing. His face looks completely goofy in the package. He has a bit of Kremzeek-ness happening there. Anyone else notice that?

I don't mind that so many of the ROTF figures suck. If they were all great it would be one expensive ass summer!

There is enough info, Demolisher is Scavenger. Overload is the unknown.

I don't buy it.

I won't apologize for Hasbro and the design team being lazy in this instance.

What could have been, should have been.

I'm not into collecting Transformers that could just as well be Megazords.
