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?

"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.

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

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.

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

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.

And the toys are also way differnt.
Even wiki lists them as 2 separate bots

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...

Look at Legends Scavenger in Robot Mode:TylerDante69 wrote:ok first off,

He looks exactly like Voyager Demolishor:

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

Then again, this isn't G1 and Bay can very well do what he wants.
Posted by Sabrblade on May 23rd, 2009 @ 9:22am CDT
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.Cyclonus_Maximus wrote:And has anyone else noticed how Devastator in the movie clips walks on all fours like an animal?

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?
Posted by typh0id on May 23rd, 2009 @ 3:44pm CDT

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"??

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.

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.

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.
Posted by Sabrblade on May 24th, 2009 @ 7:43pm CDT
Um, of course Megatron was destroyed when the Constructicons came to Earth. Otherwise, they wouldn't be reviving him if he wasn't destroyed.Evil_the_Nub wrote:GetterDragun wrote:Evil_the_Nub wrote:The wikipedia page has Demolisher separate form the rest of the constructicons so he might not even be one, just coincidentally a construction vehicle.

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?

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.
