I would have rathered get the CW version for cost purposes but I could never find Firefly, Skydive, or Slingshot, and now they cost almost as much as just buying a whole new set from Takara. Between Superion and Sky Reign, I have quite the list to catchup on

BATTLEMASTER IIC wrote:I got UW Bruticus today. Boy I'm glad I waited for this set instead of getting the Hasbro version! This set is amazing! I wish I could get a couple of pictures of Bruticus uploaded but it's dark right now and I don't have enough light.
I love how each of the Combaticons are different enough in their re-tools from the original molds the characters are based on. The one with the least change is Vortex, but he gets a new head (at least I'm pretty sure it's a new head) and a four-blade main rotor, which is a really, really nice touch.
Brawl and Blast-Off are new molds to me. I think the hinged joint where Brawl's legs connect to his torso looks weird, but it tabs in correctly for me and the figure is solid. It would've been so awesome if his turret could rotate, but that's okay, still a great-looking tank. What would've made this figure more awesome was if there was a way to attack Brawl's HFG to the back of his tank mode like the G1 figure was able to do with his big twin cannons.
The Blast-Off figure is just awesome. His chest actually doesn't stick out as far as pictures on the internet seem to show. In hand, the robot mode looks very nice. His arm mode can be a little fiddly because the tabs on the tail fin are what really hold it together. A little Future might help this hold together better. Also, Blast-Off's head and neck mount can pop off if you're not careful when moving around his combiner peg, but it can be easily put back on. And it still feels solid in robot mode. I don't think any permanent damage will result from this happening.
I'm looking forward to scrambling around Brawl and Blast-Off later to see how they do as different limbs.
I have Bruticus combined such that his shoulders are flat, so that the cannons don't look so small on his back, like how Defensor's shoulders are transformed. At first, I thought he could benefit from bigger back cannons, but I found that Onslaught's stock cannons look a lot better on Bruticus when they are pegged into Onslaught's fists, with the hoses on the backs of the guns facing inwards, as opposed to mounting the guns on his backpack. The guns look a lot longer in this configuration and makes Bruticus a lot more, well, brutish. I wasn't sure if I was going to like the G1 cartoon-accurate chest plate, but I feel it adds a lot to the look of the figure instead of a plain silver or gray chest plate with just the Decepticon symbol on it.
I have no regrets with this set. It's a great addition to my collection. Now I just need to be able to afford UW Computron and Hasbro's Fortress Maximus!
EDIT: I haven't tried it yet, but I think there is a way to get Brawl's HFG to attach to the back of his turret with a hinged 5mm peg located on the back of his turret.

Funnily enough, that's apparently the 'official' transformation according to the Hasbro Onslaught instructions...

Agamemnon wrote:Neat. It looks like a non-official transformation of Onslaught and the guns are in the fists. I might try that. If you want, Brawl's turret can move up and act more as a kneecap. (Just in case you didn't know...) Nice look!

Depends on what "official" is. I believe the instructions alone show two ways to transform Onslaught's arms...

Thanks for the advice WJ. Would you say that the UW version of Devastator is worth the extra $40-$50 over the CW version?

YES!!!!
If you can afford it, get it. It is the best way to truly experience this toy. And in 5 years from now, you will be happy you did it.

Insurgent wrote:The extra cash for Unite Warriors Devastator is ONLY worth it if you are interested in the individual constructicons. If you intend to keep him in combined mode the entire time, save the cash and get hasbro. If however, like me, you want the individual team members on show just as much as combined mode, then most certainly yes it is.

And that rings true. For combined mode, no the extra is not worth it. For individual modes, yes, yes it is.
