If you have been purchased the upgrade parts from Crazydevy.com, you should add the latest products for your Generation 1 Devastator.

After giving G1 Devastator the movable hand fingers and thigh, this time Crazydevy produced add-on parts to upgrade Devastator's forearms.

The latest add on parts give Devastator a pair of stronger black forearms, and also 90 degree upward movement for left hand.
Crazydevy also does not forget the KO G1 Devastator collectors as well. Similar add on parts are specially made for KO G1 Devastator.

I'm sure the arms are a big improvement again, but I wish CrazyDevy would just release all these parts in one go, instead of a new part every few months, while the older released parts get sold out. It would save everyone a LOT of shipping costs.
I'd definitely be game if they will sell just one big upgrade set which includes everything at the end of the road; but at this rate I'm not as interested.

They might be remembering the KO collectors, but they're forgetting the people who have an authentic G2 Devastator they'd love to upgrade!

This set should work with us to brutha. I have a G2 Devy and I'm just ordered the head from BBTS, the grey colored thighs and fist from CrazyDevy's site. I'll be ordering the new forearms as well, and most likely from the site. Since I have the yellow one, the grey colored thighs will be a good match for that set.

Our G2 molds should be identical to the G1 versions. I had a KO and that thing was a POS. So frustrating, it barely held itself together.

What's the difference between the KO and G1 versions where the forearms attach? Is the peg smaller/too large?

Is the KO they're referring to the garbage one from a few years back or the newer one that 'attempts' to replicate the G1 release?

I REALLY must pick up a G1 Devestator. This additions make it impossible not too!

the original g1 dev has metal & ko version has chrome painted on parts.?

im glad this happend my laucnhers are not that great one touch missle or hand launches from them so maybe this will fix that solution for me but i do agree with you that make better soluttion for everyone

I HATE these cropped pictures. How about actual, multiple shots to show us these things?

I agree, enough with the seperate, small, upgrades. But this just might be the last ... I dunno what else they can replace!

I'll be glad to replace my KO G1 Devy launchers with these ... they fire WAY too easily. Now I just need a G1 Devestator and I'll be all set.

I have no clue what they mean my KO version. The purple on my KO is slightly different than their previous releases ... but, then, there'd be KO versions of those too.

So, what's left? A chest peice, maybe? A new crotch peice (since the old one really hinders posability)?

Hmm...I think I'll wait for them to put all these upgrades into one big set for a reasonable price before I decide to spend the money for it.

News Credits: 1 · Mon Apr 12, 2010 10:45 am

I loves these new hands. I bet you they are gonna remake every single decepticon for devastator. HAHA! Wouldn't that be amazing? I mean, what else can they do to improve him?

Mon Apr 12, 2010 11:05 am

I need to pick up a KO.....

News Credits: 5 · Mon Apr 12, 2010 11:49 am

Head, hands, forearms, hips.. check, check check.
But when will I get my Devastator robo-navel complete with lint?

News Credits: 10 · Mon Apr 12, 2010 1:38 pm

Both versions are up for pre-order at BBTS; and they've kindly added verbiage that will help distinguish the difference between the KO and official sets.

$30!? What?? Do these transform into tiny robots or something? Where do they get $30 from?

Edit: Okay, the price from Crazy Devy directly is $22 and BBTS has to make a profit and ship this to them .... but these are non-transformable parts for Devestator. I don't see why they're so pricey.

They're actually $22.95 at CrazyDevy.com site; BBTS is reselling them. Still expensive, though.

In this case, it's always best to order from the CrazyDevy site. Ordered and paid for this morning.

Not for me. I usually have a big ole 'pile o' loot' at BBTS that I ship 2 or 3 times per year. BBTS doesn't add any charge for shipping on these (in my orders so far). It's a few bucks cheaper ordering from the site, but that's one less order I need to keep track of, so I just stick with BBTS for these.

Otherwise, I'd agree, one off purchases make the most sense directly from the manufacturer.

Mon Apr 12, 2010 2:58 pm

Okay... at this point they should just make a whole new Devastator.

Don't give 'em ideas ...

Edit:
Screw it. I'm gonna buy it from BBTS. I got the previous sets, so I may as well. Hopefully it'ss be close to when FP's Bruticus and DL Blaster comes out so I can get them all in one fell swoop and save on shipping. A bit.

Well, it does appear to be the direction they're going.

You know, I'm actually considering these parts now but since the hands aren't available, no sense in getting new forearms. I wish they'd just release one master set and get it over with.

Whoa, this stuff is flying off the shelves fast! I just ordered a set of hands last week. I guess after some of the reviews and such, people are interested. That's kinda nice to know. I had to split my order up between BBTS and the CrazyDevy site itself just to get all the required pieces. I wasn't sure if this was gonna sell out like it has. IMO, they are making the G1 set, "Classic" worthy.

News Credits: 1235 · Tue Apr 13, 2010 7:38 am

the hands and forearms should have been in one set, these are cool but crazy devy is milking them for all they are worth, but people are buying them (including me) so I guess they can do it.

News Credits: 20 · Tue Apr 13, 2010 8:09 am

I was really hoping this would have come with the hands. I'm glad they're being done and I'll buy em. I'm just sayin'

News Credits: 20 · Mon Apr 19, 2010 9:07 am

So I was just assembling all these bits from Crazy Devy and the Hands won't stay for anything. I'm really hoping they fit snugly in those new forearms. Otherwise I wouldn't suggest the hands to anybody until that issue is resolved.
