Classics Devastator is out. Mine arrived today, along with Magnus and Skywarp. Looks sweet in box and I shall post pics shortly.

The Constructicon bio is kinda cool too.

To be clear, the original poster is not stating that he bought one in a US Wal-Mart.

Classics Devestator has not seen state-side release yet.

Yeah its been out overseas it seems but so far no state side release aside from one sighting in the sightings section but no real info about it.

Its released when, March? Not too far off.

I got my Alt Sunstreaker form Xybertoys more than a month before they hit US general release.

Saying that though, they only just got Magnus and Skywarp in. Xybers release times can be a wee bit whacked sometimes.

Any chance of a close up or transcript of that bio? You have intrigued me.

Sure thang!

Motto : I hate everything shorter than me. And most taller things too.

The incredible power of CONSTRUCTICON DEVASTATOR is rooted in the combination of five DECEPTICON warriors, but he is somewhat limited by their minds all competing for full control over his massive body. BONECRUSHER is a chaotic madman who lives to destroy, while LONGHAUL is a brooding genius with a talent for constructing the vast energy collection engines that supply the DECEPTICONS with power. HIGHTOWER is a chemistry lab on wheels whose passion for poisons and explosives is surpassed only by his dislike of his teammates. His polar opposite is SCAVENGER, who has an instinct for detecting valuable fuels and minerals, but is desperate for the approval and friendship of his fellow CONSTRUCTICONS. Finally there is DECEPTICON SCRAPPER, a quiet psycho whose first love is building monuments to his enemies - out of their destroyed chassis.

Nice little haul you got yourself there. Congrats.

Thanks Grim!

Interesting how Hook is the character they decided to nix instead of Mixmaster. Although Longhaul's description seems kind of like a merger of Longhaul and Hook...

I also like the irony of the one who is desperate for approval and friendship is the one that physically holds them all together. :lol:

Agreed. All in all, I rather like this version of Devastator. Guess I'll be selling SL Buildron now.

New pics. He is free! Autobot scum beware!

Does not seem so big next to Megatron and Jetfire.

What's up with Classics Devestator anyways? No love for Scrapper and Mixmaster? And who is this "High Tower"? Hasbro did you think I wouldn't notice? It takes six Constructicons to make Devestator, not five, and you bing in this "Shemp" Hightower! Yeah, the Three Stooges didn't think anyone would notice when they replaced Curly either and look at them, all dead now...

So, anyone know a release date for the US yet?

To each their own, I for one am looking forward to mixing and matching parts to get an all green Devastator Maximus.

In this case it does take five, it's a recolor of Buildron from Superlink/Energon.
Of cours they probaly can't use the name Hook anymore, but hey it's cool. Name them whateva you want.

looks nice.
