I just got my Titan Class Devastator, and I can tell that the instructions are leaving some things out.

I found out how to put all the Kibble in Long Haul's truckbed, and I found out Devastator's ankle swivels on Scrapper and Mixmaster.

Also, I can tell that all the kibble parts can be weapons on their own, but can't tell who is intended to have what weapon, nor can I find a way to attach them in vehicle mode (save for all of it going in Long Haul's truck bed...)

If all that wasn't in the instructions, and I found it within an hour of owning the figure, what else is there to this toy that I haven't found yet?

Can someone enlighten me on the "undocumented" features of Devastator that have been found so far?

Also just found out Long Haul can STILL carry the kibble in his bed while in robot mode.

I am not aware of such yet as i am waiting on my TT Devy.
However some time on uTube should reveal most of your answers.
Good luck.

That's about it that I'm aware of. As far as who gets what weapon, I'm not sure there's an official distribution outside of Bonecrusher and Scavenger getting the combiner hand/missile launchers. That said, official displays for the other four have shown:

Scrapper: Outer chest pieces
Mixmaster: Inner chest piece
Long Haul: Large, rectangle pegged blaster (the part Devastator holds)
Hook: Long barreled blaster

What about those square post-looking things near the end of Hook's crane arm that stick out sideways? Do they do something? I don't see any similar holes in any of the kibble weapons...

Decided to take some pictures of things I've discovered.

Long Haul with truckload of Kibble

And in robot mode

Also, Scrapper can attach the chest armor fins in vehicle mode, like G1

And for some reason, so can Scavenger

And I doubt this was an intended feature, but it's kinda awesome nonetheless...

I don't know if anyone else has picked up on this or not, but...

Remember this little bit from "The Core"?

While that particular image could technically be replicated with the G1 toys, you had to have two Hook figures to do so, as it was impossible to connect Bonecrusher and Scavenger to Devastator without Hook. The rather blatant animation cheat of having the Hook components already present and the independent Hook simply forming Devastator's head simply reflected the reality of the toy.

However, because CW Bonecrusher's and Scavenger's treads connect to Long Haul's forearms and the chestplate, it is possible to create a truly Hook-less Devastator!

Though, this could very well add undue stress to the tabs and joints, especially if you try posing his arms a lot in this state, so do this at your own risk.

This guy needs to take on Rook with two combiner hands shoved into his arm holes!

I wonder if I could jerry-rig Hook into a leg, and either Prowl or Megatron into a head...

Also, I found that if you swivel Mixmaster's arms a bit, you can get them much closer to the body without sacrificing the ankle tilt.

That's awesome! I totally forgot about that, and I love that not only were able to replicate that animation sequence, but you explained it well, too.
