"Minicon Deployers" is honestly a term I didn't think we see again so soon, after it debuted in Exodus and got shoved down our throats by Hasbro's botched Headmasters subtitles that got released on the Shout! Factory DVD set.

Simply amazing.
More on topic, Minicons? Excellent. I just hope they're not as big as the Centuritron guys and that there are several different teams. Then, I await the really arbitrary clear campaign releases of them from Takara

I had also found the centurion guys big but it turns out they go really well with the bigger toys from the unicron trilogy like Omega Supreme and Unicron.

Probably going to be a G1 reissue of destator with a giant box and a $150 price point. Not unlike the reissue insecticons

But the listing clearly states "Generations" just like the emtroplex release did. And that was a new figure, not a rereleases of G1 metroplex.

Well since Devastator is coming, I can only hope for the IDW Micro-Constructicons.

Don't get me wrong. Do I want a giant devastator composed of 5 to 6 guys with awesome robot modes and combine into a stable, proportionate robot? Yes. But let's be honest, each robot would have to be the size of Leader Jetfire and a huge plastic brick to make it happen. I really do think this as a G1 reissue of Devastator in a huge box with some lovely art. Could I be wrong? Yes, do I hope I am? Yes! Do I think I'm wrong? No...

That is a very ominous observation indeed. This foreboding prediction of a G1 reissue of yours may now very well be the case.

It has more to do with fans putting a little too much faith in rumors, and failing to notice clues to the contrary... I'll go prepare the Nelsons.

I'm just taking things for what they are. So what if a case is two per box. Sure, metroplex was but so are Leader class figures, MP Prime, the MP seekers and the packaging for those figures were not as big as metroplex. 2 in a case just means that. Doesn't mean is a giant box they're shipped in.

We are way past that. Now we are worried that a generations devastator no longer assumes a new mold.

I love how paranoid this fandom can get so quickly. Anyone else think HasTak sits in their office with popcorn reading the forums just to watch us go insane?
Minicon Deployers: this is the RID15 line, so this is probably Drift and Fractyl's little dudes. If they're making a full subline out of it, I wonder who else will get minions? Maybe a to scaleish Fixit?

Who ever said they did? Hasbro is primarily a children's toy company that makes toys targeted specially at children and young adults. They rarely create toys just for adult collectors. Masterpiece and the now defunct Reissues are the only toys they have ever released just for adults.
Devastator will be no exception, just like Metroplex. For as many 30 year old fanboys that buy one, five children will pick it up.
If you want companies that seek out that market you need to do business with 3rd party companies.

If not, then great. If so, then don't buy it. Buy a third party one to fit in with your geewun classics crap. Why does it matter? Hasbro is not releasing figures to appease middle aged toy collectors. They are selling toys to children. Awesome if what they make appeals to us. If not, then get over it. Our time is up. The eighties are long over. This isn't geewun. Its that simple.
There are WAYYYY more issues to worry about in this life other than fretting over what mold is used in a TOY.

If somehow it is just a (vastly overpriced) reissue, that would at least save me from trying to scrape up the cash to buy it.
Otherwise, I just hope it's a real set of contstructicons, not some crap like they pulled with movie Devy, where they were just combining vehicles with no robot modes. I would hope they wouldn't try that bull again, but...

Dont worry, I didnt take it the wrong way and I get your point of view. However, I would like to point out that since this is a transformers toy forum, fretting over what mold is used in a toy is kinda the point of a forum existing. I hang out here to give my two cents on my hopes and fears for this brand and it's figures I care for, knowing that once I click the exit button I go back to a world filled with poverty, terrorism and discrimination. Seibertron is a nice sanctuary for us fans and I dont find it fair to say we shouldnt be here doing what a forum is all about.
And as for this not being G1, I completely agree. Did you see how articulated this new Superion is?

I'm not Worried at all. I am only a classics/generations collector but I am just thankful for what we get. Make is new enormous devastator or not. It's great we still get the classics stuff. If it's a g1 reissue I might get it but I might not. I don't own one but I don't need one.
