Best 3rd Party Devastator?

I'm looking for a great 3rd party Devastator. I'm not a huge fan of the cartoon look that the CW/UW variant has. Does anybody have some suggestions? At the moment, my eye is on TFC Toys Hercules.

Depends what you are after and budget wise.

I got the NBK version (it's cheap often £60-80 and maybe even cheaper), size wise it goes well with generations or mps though it's much smaller than generations devy and can be found in a few colors (transparent because reasons I guess, g2 and orange I think). Minor flaw is chest plate isn't that secure. Combiner wars *bots with legs extended/unstable scale with it too just about.

I got UW devy afterwards but think I prefer the cheaper NBK version, can't remember which is the original more expensive 3rd party version that it copys.

*edited to say bots not bits

What does NBK stand for?

Honestly, not the faintest - that could be what it stands for with bad translattions, or...drum rolls... Never Buy Khasbro? :p
It def doesn't feel/look cheap even tho the price is.

No excuse needed, it was a joke. I bought the official Takara UW toy after having the nbk toy as I prefer to own official (unless improved on or different enough to warrant it by others- including price wise). Options are good regardless who makes them (depending on toxicity and pollution to the planet etc etc).
You might want to wait on getting third party in case constructions get revisited during the wfc trilogy toy line with them relying heavy on the early cartoon bots (something like an all hail megatron idw version would be nice with no extra parts needed to make it combine).

Greetings All,

Not sure if this is the right place but...I've heard a few folks mention that there is a KO smaller version of CW/UW Devastator that is more in scale with other CW Combiners.

I really like having UW Devastator, especially how he scales with Siege Omega Supreme, but I'd like to maybe get the undersized one just to see how it compares. There are several on eBay, but without a proper in scale pics, I don't want to get the wrong one.

If someone can describe, or name exactly which KO this is, it would be appreciated. Thank you so much.

*edit* sounds like that was exactly what was just discussed prior, I just need a name, is just NBK good enough?


*edit 2* ok after looking up NBK Devastator, I find it really doesn't look like a scaled down CW at all, so It's not what I was looking for.

I'm looking for a scaled down version of UW/CW Devastator if such a thing exists.

The scaled down version has TAIKONGZHANS/cool become brave on the box and seller description should state 12 inch. That's the ko Cw/UW devy. The artwork on the box is stolen art so it says 18inch/45cm so it can be confusing but it's the undersized one.
New 12in transformers IDW devastator figure ko in box should bring it up in when searched in eBay. Benskollectibles has a review of it on YouTube.

Nbk I think is an undersized ko of the toy world devastator and is definitely not the cw/UW mold.

Cool, thank you so much. That was exactly it. I saw many on ebay, but since it said 18 inches I figured it was the same size, good to know it is smaller, may be exactly what I;m looking for... I wonder if they will do a Predaking at some point.... 8-)
