I guess I'm confused because This guy has Seven Constructicons while the Supreme Set has Six. :-?

Either way, this guy is definitely going on my Desk!
B-)

These are Legend sized figures. They're small and inexpensive, and the accuracy of the modes is off somewhat. I imagine if Hightower was to be given a bigger toy, it'd look better, which still retaining the general shape, but more streamlined and alienesque.

That said, if I ever see these in the UK, they're mine in half a heartbeat.

I'd get this set over the supreme set any day (assuming Canada gets it).

This is a MUST buy. I tend to not buy legends class figures, but this one is awesome.

by **same138** » Tue May 26, 2009 1:18 pm

Must have this set. Was v disappointed in the non-combining / non-transforming aspects of the bigger toys, Need this little version, need it, need it ,need it.

Are you listening Hasbro UK/EU? NEED IT!!

by **AbraxasGrey** » Tue May 26, 2009 1:42 pm

HOLY SH*T THAT IS AWESOME :shock:

. Overload looks like a retool of bonecrusher in robot mode, even the transformation seems to resemble the legends bonecrusher from the 1st movie.

It is just stupid that they can get these little guys to combine but not the deluxes.

Looks better then the bigger versions. If the arms were done differently then it might have been a good figure but the arms just kill it. Some new paint and retooling could redeem it all depending on the price.

I LOVE IT! I will buy two and get a can of green spray-paint for one of them.

These guys just remind me of the origional. Simple transformations, vehicle modes are pretty accurate, and they form together into a bigger robot. I love it.

Yeah, I don't understand that either. I thought that the original concept artwork had 7. Maybe Hasbro couldn't get the supreme to work with that number-which would even make it more worthless!

This legends is a total must buy.

I don't like anything about it, I never did get the point of the Legends class.

I feel sorry for you.

I like the look of hightower, very alien-like, plus his new tail is a claw!

Rampage looks like he's mistransformed.

Mixmaster has Devy's head sticking out his butt!

I think that since the legends class figures are all the same size they needed to make another bot to fill in the space left out when they downsized Demolisher.

Well I can say it. The EZ Devi looks better than his dad.

News Credits: 1 · by **YRQRM0** » Tue May 26, 2009 6:35 pm

I love the mini demolisher. I'm geussing the other red guy was made-up to fill in space in this guy, to make the combination more possible.
I might get this, but it's even more out of scale, unless you use the Prime that comes on the party city pen.

bought!

by **Warbreaker** » Wed May 27, 2009 4:46 am

The DK guide book does not mention an "Overload Component" on Devastator - methinks he's included for additional stability in Devastator's torso given the small size of these Constructicon components.

*glances at pictures, rolls eyes* eh, well... I'm not a fan of legends-sized transformers unless they're unique individuals ala universe Warpath, Cosmos etc. Hightower looks interesting here, I'd really like to see his larger version. Also, is it me or is Rampage missing his rear feet? I suppose this'll be a pass for me.

The only ones I don't like from this set are the 3rd, 4th, and last guy shown (I'm not a fan of their un-traditional looking bot modes.)

The others I like and my only complaint with Devy is the lack of real hands with fingers, not a fan of the claw hands he has, but that won't stop me from buying this set.

side note, when I first saw the title of this news story, I was expecting to see a translucent version of the legends devastator. I wasn't thinking of clearer images lol.

on the link, why does it say "from toysrus"? are these images from there or what? are we being tricked here? hmm... oh and you may say the arms suck, but if you examine the images of scavenger and devastator, you'll see he has elbows. so lets see. we have, for articulation...

a ball jointed head
hinged shoulders
hinged (ratcheting?) elbows
he may have hinged hip articulation
knees?
feet?

so he looks quite posable and fun. and about the set of one, and the set of three plus a set of long haul, scavenger and mixmaster. maybe they are releasing the three sets so you can pose the vehicles, the robots and devastator??? either way, i'll probably just get the one pack for now unless i change my mind. but still, this guy is pure win. i love legends. i love combiners (even though i don't own any yet). and thus, i'll love this guy twice as much!
