Saw something on Google+ that the combined Devastator has ratchets in the arms. I know it's there in the shoulders so perhaps the elbows have been retooled as well. FYI I've only heard of Defensor being released December 12th no fixed date for Devy, unless somebody has heard something else.

Defensor on Dec 12, according to Takara Mall.

And Devastator too, according to Amazon Japan. Though it might change.

I was going by Robot Kingdom so who knows. To be honest I really, really hope not. That's a lot of coin to drop at one time on that day.

Edit: I wonder what Guardian is thinking looking at that mass of awesome contruction workers? Where are the Dinobots when you need them?

You know, I pre-ordered this Devastator so long ago that I kind of lost sight of it and my excitement dissipated. I'd like to personally thank Cyberpath for reigniting my excitement.
Thanks pal.

And thanks to fen for being the official Takara/Tomy cheerleader!

A very biased and critical cheerleader. 8-}

January is still quite faraway. Guardian I expect this early January given how jammed up all the shipping is this holiday season Who knows when Devs is a coming?

Both Dev and Def are supposed to be released Dec 12 2015. Those who ordered from nippon yassan have already been asked to pay. shipping ems was 5400 yen (exactly as most predicted). So in the end UW Devy is less than 200$ US shipped and similar to the price some us retailers sold the Hasbro version at.

No problem. :-D

I re-watched the "The Master Builders" earlier today. This awesome episode is sure to make you even more excited about this release.

Whoa, TWO additional sprues of clear plastic?! (instead of one extra)

Man, Takara really broke Hasbro's budget on this one.

Fri Nov 27, 2015 9:18 pm

I need that groove in my life but I cannot afford to spring for the set, hopefully we get a single release of him, some day.

I wonder how often, if anytime one might find some fan/seller selling off individual figures like Groove or others here and there and how much they could fetch? :-?

Just a thought I haven't seen it yet for...oops never mind. There's a couple of UW Stunticons currently listed on eBay. :VEHI:

Having now read through the new stuff regarding weapon storage and new color changes, Takara really did go ham on this didn't they? This guy looks so amazing and has so many paint apps and features. The guns all seem to store nicely and the shifting visor is very appealing. Plus that boxart is just badass and the new paint to Mixmaster definitely looks very awesome.

Really digging the guy, and his box. and his everything.

He's as painted as the Hasbro version at least.
