I am on record as often criticizing third party makers for stealing Hasbro's properties. In this case, I really don't give a #@$*! My god that's just incredible! The biggest thing I see and like is the fact that the Dec forearm and hands appear to be built in to the figure rather than being a seperate piece you have to store like the original G1 Dev. I am seriously considering picking this up.

If that's going in the direction I hope it is, I better start saving up now!

Classics Henkei Universe Generations Please refrain from using it though, it's a slurr as well.

It is? Can was start banning people from using CHUG then. It's a stupid name anyway. Classics for me.

Anyone want to buy my house? I would live in a cardboard box for this figure!

by **eyl** » Thu Aug 19, 2010 10:38 am

I see the treads turn into for-arm, but can the hand be stored inside the treads?
This is going to be a huge figure. From the picture of hand holding it, I would guess it's going to be Primus size. 12 inches? I don't think so...

WOW!!!!! but how limited is it going to be? will it be sold sepretly or as a set? :-?

becuase i dont want to buy scavenger and then every other figure will be sold out. what a shame...let just hope for the best and see more info n pics still frenzyrumble custom devastator was great....hope they copy him somewhat

Yes, you can see a head and fists poking out in one of the photos.

My question and answer exactly. Boy, you guys are making it easy today. Thanks!

You do realize just why FP said they would NEVER make a full combiner right?
One part is going to set you back 80 bucks! These TFclub guys are pretty damn ambitious.
Until a company successful enough that they can lower their prices and increase production numbers, there is no point to this.

And this certainly comes as a major hit to me personally considering I've already spent upwards of $1000 on transformers this year alone. Heck, me cutting back is why iGear's kickin' Arcee figure will never see the likes of my shelf.

I don't care how much as long as it is worth the price (must be quality work). Looks amazing so far. I hope it makes it to market and I can actually buy one someday.

No real need to worry about that I think, since their track record does include Battle Rollar.

great head sculpt on Scavenger. Really dig the visor. And I stick by my statement, judging by the size of Scavenger, This Devastator will cast a shadow down on Unicron, no way it's going to be Primus sized. Look at your arms on Primus, they're only about the size of a scout heightwise, that arm looks deluxe height at the least. This will be close to FR Devy size in my opinion.

Call me crazy, but i think this Devastator can be at the same height or taller than Fortress Maximus.

That actually worries me more. Battle Rollar was cheaply done and looser than my ex. Gear of War 1 was cheaply made too. However GoW2 was much better, so I am cautiously optimistic on this set.

Is this for the Crazy Devy Devastator add-ons or something else? Sorry, but ever since I had gotten PE-01 Shadow Warrior, I'm not very into 3rd party companies that much anymore, since SW's quality control was quite poor for something that cost me 40$. :BANG_HEAD:

This is a WHOLE new Devastator from TFClub, nothing whatsoever to do with G1 Devastator or CrazyDevy. And you shouldn't let Perfect Effect's quality make you shun 3rd party products, FansProject is better quality & construction than HasTakTom, iGear makes some pretty good weapons, I wouldn't buy any of their figures, but that's because I find them to be nothing more than overpriced KOs. HeadRobots also does some pretty good work(especially for the price).

Remember people, if this preview image is to be believed, and the silhouette is Devastator, then he'll only be 30cm tall. This doesn't seem right when you look at the images but it could be a trick of perspective combined with tiny hands on the sculptor. Jury's still out

Really? Reviews gave me relatively good confidence in the toy. Though it is made almost entirely of ball joint's so I guess it's not a huge surprise. Still, ball joints are something that can be fixed, and what really matters is that the plastic quality is good.

Maybe they meant to put 30in. LOL

30cm doesn't seem right. The guy holding the limb in the picture would have to have hands so tiny he couldn't grab a Big Mac.

You never know...

Ok that joke was way too easy, In fact it was probably intentional.

I think I'm going to be sick now. :SICK:

Yep, I set you up & you took the bait.
