Looks like vehicle mode for the Hasbro retail version, in an ugly brown box tray.

I think it's an amazing looking brown box. It's not like you're displaying the tray.

I actually it rather be in vehicle modes, then in either combined mode, or robot modes. I like transforming it from vehicle mode, and it being kind of a mystery of how big robot mode is. I also don't like it already in combined mode, because I want to have the experience of combining them for the first time.

Agreed.

Also, whenever I ship anything like this, I like the vehicle mode because it's more compact and solid. Fewer arms or legs or things hanging out potentially getting moved/shifted/broken/loosened etc.

Keep it simple... keep it safe. At least till it arrives in the buyer's home :DANCE:

BIG news for all Canadians. Thanks to fellow Seibertronian Jones, we now know that Transformers Generations Devastator is on preorder at Toysrus.ca for 189.99$ cdn (156$ US).
There is a limit of 2 per person and the estimated shipping date is August 1st 2015.

Also, the price is 10$ more than the 169.99$ cdn price initially listed on the computers (pictured below), which is similar to the US preorders of 159.99 being generally 10$ higher than the previously rumored MSRP.

I was so close to snatching one. But I had remind myself to wait for SDCC's or TT's.

Me too! But it would be Takara. The added weapons and prefered headsculpt as well as the probable greater ease in getting him takes the sdcc version out of the equation for me.

I wonder if any IDW completists will also pick up Roadblock to repurpose back into Scoop.

Unfortunately not. You guys have to wait for your dot com's to list em, and we have to wait for our dot ca's. For brick and mortar anyways.

Oh, and WELCOME!! :KREMZEEK:

Oh how I want stick my 15 year old fingers into this figure! It looks even better in the photos than in the photoshoped pictures that first came out. Definitely a must have for me.

I know I've said this before, but I really hope, to combine with Devy, we get a 3rd party set of: Prowl as a torso, Hook as a leg, and maybe some better arms for the individual robots.

Or even if we just get better arms and combiner bits, that would be nice. I would MUCH RATHER the combiner bits to actually transform into normal looking weapons, than those Constructicons just holding the combiner pieces like idiots. >:oP

I agree that figures boxed in vehicle mode makes for a more fun experience, but that SDCC packaging is pretty cool.

So we currently don't know what Takara's Devs will look right? And the major difference between SDCC and retail is the slight difference in green paint and the shiny purple yes? :VEHI:

No, each individual constructicon has a ton more paint apps. And the headsculpt is different. It is not the version with the shades, he has individual eyes in the SDCC version (which I like less, personally).

The shade of green is the plastic color, not paint. The OTHER details are paint.

So when is this getting released in the US?

Also, there's no difference in the shade of green between U.S. Retail and SDCC. That's just Hasbro's bad and inconsistent product photography at play.

Here's a photo of SDCC Devastator in-box without Hasbro's bad retouching:

And here's a photo of the retail edition from Amazon:

It should be the same time, August. That's what has been said as a release window from the start.

Then again, I would have said the same thing about MP Bluestreak but for some reason TRU doesnt have him in the states yet.

Yeah I like Devy with shades too.
