Good news to those who are getting UW Devastator, your copy wont be stuck mistransformed. I just noticed this, look at scraper's roof/cab when he forms a leg on takara compared to Hasbro's
The leg mode for Takara's Scrapper has a different transfomration sugestion than Hasbro's, aside from the added heel. With Hasbro, because the decepticon symbol is on scrapper's roof, they dont rotate that roof piece when forming the leg so that the symbol doesnt look upside down. However, what Takara shows us is that the proper transformation of the mold has that roof/cab piece rotated to prevent scrapper's leg panels from coming apart when posing devastator.

This means that the hasbro version is perpetually mistransformed and someone messed up with the decal placement.

Boy, hasbro's devastator just can't catch a break at all, can it; I mean, hasbro doesn't deserve the break, but I feel bad for poor devs

Got mine yesterday I don't care how toy look in its packaged in box mistransformed or not it's toy not statue to be display piece to be as work of art it's not companies job to give us perfectly transformed toys in packages its there job to make toys and sell them to us we like how they look customers us buy them

I've got the Hasbro version - I think it's great. Whatever faults it may have, it's still light-years beyond the G1 Devastator/Constructicons. We may romanticize our memories of G1 Devastator through a fog of time, but it really was a floppy, flimsy, parts-forming mess that would topple over and split in half if you even so much as nudged it the wrong way.

I'm certainly not going to go through the trouble of trying to sell the Hasbro version of CW Devastator to get the UW version, just for a couple of tiny tweaks here and there. I'd rather get a version of CW Brawl that has a properly locking waist....

Thats not what I meant, the toy isnt packaged in combined mode anyways. I just meant that his proper transformation for the hasbro one is to have the decepticon symbol on scrapper flipped upside down, which many are choosing to keep upright, making his leg less stable.

Well the idea is not to sell one to get the other but more to initially wait to see what both versions look like before settling on one, thus avoiding any headache. My new rule is to wait to see what the takara version looks like before deciding. Like that I dont regret later and the best part is that by the time Takara's is revealed, hasbro's might be cheaper since it's already released. Thats what I will be doing with Bruticus (which seems to be what you will be doing too). If I dont like it when its revealed or I realize that its a dumb exclusive again then I will go and buy the Hasbro version with no regrets and probably not pay as much as if I bought him now

Is it just me or is that boxart seriously Dreamwave/"I'm coming for your purse"-esque?

But congratulations on your (Long)haul anyway!

Good luck getting anything else done today!

Want!

Still in airport limbo for me.

Btw, same with Defensor, so the box English name is Defensor and Devastator while the Japanese designation in the box is Guardian and Devastar?

Haha great job! a few errors here and there but mostly solid! We always were wondering what was going on with Starscream here. This is actually quite hilarious. XD

What errors? This is a very good translation.

I wonder which combiner is going to defeat him? Which will then follow the chronology of his , Galvatron, spark returning to the Arctic and then be revived as Super Megatron.

Fellow Seibertronians, courtesy of our own karyuudo and Karyuudo Fansubs, we get our first solid translation of Unite Warriors Grand Galvatron's comic. The original image's may be viewed Here, as well as directly below. And you can check out Hasbro's version of Galvatronus Here.











Seems like some crazy stuff is going to be happening within the fiction for Galvatron. And don't forget to tell us what you think of it in the comments below.

Grand Galvatron LIVES!

[Nemesis Maximo]

Nice job, Karyuudo! I like how you shamelessly plugged in Seibertron. That gave me a checkle.

[Hellscream9999]

SEE! This is the sort of fiction that you need in order to establish your batsh|t-crazy repaints to your fans

[Sabrblade]

Nice job, Karyuudo! I like how you shamelessly plugged in Seibertron. That gave me a checkle.

There's no plug there. The comic uses Cybertron' Japanese name, "Seibertron" (セイバートロン Seibātoron).

YAY! It only took the better part of an hour and a half, but I finally news'ed my first article

[MasterSoundBlaster]

Okay, now I'm beginning to want this thing.

Quoted for truth.

Sent my brother a picture of Devastator and he sounded pretty unimpressed and asked me if I'd got it down out of mum's loft.

Considering CW Devvy is 3 times the size, and not only did we never have Mix Master to complete the set, but we had the euro G1 yellow non-combining variants. Didn't even have a full devastator.

It was a real eye opener of just how much those rose tinted nostalgia goggles influence your memory.

I had a hard time understanding until I realized I was reading it incorrectly. Forgot to read right to left...Duh!!! I'm finding myself liking this set more and more.
