Wait, There's an Asia exclusive coming? This is the first I've heard of this. Are pre-orders up?

Not really, as far as we know the battle damaged devastator seen at a toy show was a custom paint job.

My bad.

Dammit Cobo, you had one job!

I thought his 'one job' here involved banning people, you might not want to remind him, he might remind you the hard way

Well you two, I'd like to think my job is keeping the forums a safe and friendly place for us folks to have fun and fair debates, trade facts and information, and help each other track down these collectible transforming robots we all love so much.
But I could ban a punk too, if they decide to continuously break the rules. Lucky for you two, you are only slightly punkish, and barely stretching the rules. So, while you are both on my list, you are low on it.

Now, I can hardly wait for my UW Devy to come. I re-worked my entire Classics shelf to accommodate all my Combiner Wars figures, and I left a giant hole for Devastator to fill when he gets here. It's gonna be AWESOME!
I wonder if he will even arrive in 2015, or if he will be the bringer of the new year.

Aren't most TT releases around the end of the month? I got my Nightbird last monday, but people who ordered through amiami got theirs about a week earlier, right? So I'd say that at the earliest, expect him to be a christmas suprise (oh that's right, factor in the holidays, and the bad weather )

Not sure how comfortable I am being on that list at all, but oh well.

I cannot wait for Devy. My excitement has yet to be squashed

If you are USA based and paid for EMS, expect Devs before Christmas (Japan tend to release their heavy hitters around a week befor or after Christmas, if you ordered from hlj or amiami). But if your source is HK based, depends, might be earlier but still on December.

I like the homage to thier original box art poses.

[Cobotron]

Aw man! He's almost here!
the way his visor gimmick works looks cool!

[munkimus prime]

I hope Devy is out by Christmas. He will be an epic present.

CP, do you know what publication this is all coming from?
It's all really cool to see, Ironhide, Tracks, Hot Rod, and all the others you posted too.

Sure, they are from Transformers Generations 2015 (トランスフォーマージェネレーション2015.)

Really love those sketches, too!

The G1 comp shots are great.

It's almost time!!!

For those curious, the big yellow text with the numbers says:

Buildron Gattai
Phase 1
Phase 2
Phase 3!!

And the black text at the top says "Project Devastor"

[Cyberpath]

Constructicons, transform! Phase 1!




Now, transform! Phase two!

[RAR]

I still think a couple of the more recent 3rd party Devastator offerings seems to be more appealing to me though it's tricky as some 3rd party toys are needlessly fiddly and yet the Hasbro/Takara version is just far to basic for my tastes.

I do think the Takara one has some merit but unlike Metroplex - not so much that I'd want to pay near 3rd party money for such an inferior product.

Hey, don't blame me, that's what the text says.

Maybe the Japanese dub changed it to three phases, with Robot Mode being the first one before Vehicle Mode an Combined Mode.

Remember, these books are geared towards the Japanese fans, and they watched the Japanese version.

What's your feedback for any one of the 3rd party Devy's? Any good at all?

[chuckdawg1999]

Robot Kingdom has a date of December 12th for Unite Warriors Defensor!

I dont think peope realized it, but the Devastator Box Art was revealed in this previous news item:



Sadly, its just the Hasbro box art again. But then again that makes sense since that too was a boxed release. I guess its just one art image per box.

Except for defensor and (probably bruticus) 'cuz new limbs and no groove armor
