Wow, I was joking and poking fun at his fans, but it turns out I was right? :BOOM:

He looks pretty good.

Question to all of you who squeed like fangirls over getting Devcon. Will he be staying in the BotCon set, or will he be displayed with G1 figures or at least Generations figures, since he's a very accurate representation of the character?

News Credits: 33 · Mon Mar 24, 2014 2:47 pm

He'd go with my G1 toys, like Darkmount\Straxus did.

So far this is my first "keeper", Cannonball and Ferak are eBay bound.

He prefers the term "tramp stamp".

Definitely Classics for me.

For those not familiar with the character, his original G1 appearance is written up at http://s90690880.onlinehome.us/jhiaxus/uscartoon/devcon.htm

I had very little interest in this set until I saw this figure. I like it better than Scourge, really.

I wonder if the pirates will all be lesser known obscure dudes while the knights are all bigger name dudes like Devcon here.

You want to trade a kidney or a lung for a TFCC toy? I call dibs.

I second this. I literally had the exact same reaction. And it also has me wondering if we may see a Devcon as part of the generations line in the future, for all of us that aren't able to spend hundreds on the box.

Yes to the first sentence, no way to the second sentence.

Funny... I decided to look up this character (especially since he was only in one episode) to see him for myself...

I saw at least 5-6 kitbash/customs using the same mold to make Devcon... Ironic.

Mon Mar 24, 2014 3:39 pm

Ok i want this one for sure

News Credits: 293 · Mon Mar 24, 2014 4:06 pm

im really clamoring for the rest of this set to be revealed. dont know if ill be ebaying seperate figures or if this is the first time i buy a full set.

(for the record im part of the ferak liking minority)

If you guys think this one was good, according to BotCon's Twitter, we ain't seen nothing yet - https://twitter.com/BotCon/status/448192677893267457

Not to rob Devcon of any of his hype, but we haven't even gotten to the jaw dropping reveal. Something we've never done. #PVK #BotCon2014

With only two more to go, what could they have never done before? Original characters? 2009 Landshark. Mini-Con sets? 2008 Predacons.

It might even be a kind of mold they've never used before like a G1 or (though I doubt it) a Titanium.

I have learned that what FP tells me to get excited about isn't always all that exciting.

The only thing I could see being truly jaw dropping would be getting to use a mold before Hasbro or Takara use it for retail/announce it. Not impossible, but so improbable as to be nearly so.

I would've added doing an original mold altogether, but they've done that already, too(Vector Sigma).

I don't think there's ever been a time I've gotten excited about anything from them.

Except maybe Runabout and Runamuck. They're about the only good things FP have done.

hmmm...I doubt it, but there might be a reason Arcee and/or Chromia got delayed?

(the reason probably is that one or other of them isn't properly finished yet, but it is an interesting idea)
