Let me translate: You live in Holland? Must find this toy!!!!!!!!!

I kid I kid

The speculation on Devy's size is all relative to Herr Man's height at 6'. If that man turns out to be a plain clothed oompa loompa, well some people are going to be disappointed

[gothsaurus]

LOL. I just got it that you guys were "naming" this guy in the picture.

I also find it amusing that he has what first appears to be a reflection... which is actually another guy in the opposite color shirt.... just to the right.

Er hat einen Doppelgänger!!! (he has a double!)

Cant we judge in relation to the MP box, we know the size of that no?

[Desslok2201]

All kidding aside, the box with the 6 circles vertically at the base of Devy's pedestal looks really thin to be his box; it looks about the same width as the insecticon box, and Hasbro's MPs are not known for their lack of packaging materials. And I'm hoping those 6 circles are 1 per constructicon, not 5 and 1 for Devy. I think that's the only thing that can sink this for me at this point.

Dunno if it's just me but the arm shown does look like it could be a deluxe but the Construction kibble on the arm doesn't look like a shovel to me. Probably because the picture has been taken from a mile a way and I just cant make anything out.

All I can make out is it looks huge, awesome and I want one.

[william-james88]

You think this Klause Van Devy guy will ever know how famous he is online?

[Robogeek1973]

That looks to be a great size for Devastator, so good job Hasbro!


Now hopefully he was executed just as well with his design, because I REALLY want a good Devy on my shelf.

[Desslok2201]

He's the Alex from Target of bald middle aged men

[shockblast2]

This is too funny. The photo looks like some sort of pervert peeper took the pic.

Who's alex from Target? Hopefully not from Target Canada because he'll be out of a job soon.

EDIT: Simple google helped, and oh gosh that Alex kid got death threats since, I hope it doesnt happen to Klaus

All I can make out is it looks huge, awesome and I want one.

According to rumors it will be a simplified Devastator, and its components will be like the one or three step transformers, but with like 4-6 steps each.

[shockblast2]

I wonder what that thing in the box to the right of him is? Are my eyes deceiving me or do I see dinobot colors? Specifically those of Sludge??

Given its Generations we're talking, I'd take that with a big grain of salt. Though I have entertained the possibility of them not having robot modes.

I estimated the man to be about 5'10". That's the average for an adult male human being. If anyone has the Hasbro Masterpiece Prowl box laying around, could you measure how tall the package is? That would give us a MUCH more accurate estimate of Devastator's height.

The rumor got everything else it said right, and Devastator is missing his shovel.

I don't know Goldrabbit, I don't see Hasbro floating a $150 price point for five voyagers and a leader. Financially, simplified makes more sense.

Well to be fair, it's not like the constructicons need complex transformations, it's not they're MP quality figures, they're Neo-classics style figures, and don't get on me about how classics, henkei generations, is dead long live G3, because that's besides the point, it's an analog. The point is, I doubt they'll be complex the same way revenge of the fallen constructicons were, and I doubt they'll be R.I.D/movie 1-3 step changers, I think they'll probably just be pretty straight forward simple transformations like Generations brainstorm, simple effective, and really made to be optimum for like a specific function. Brainstorms simple transformation was for the headmaster gimmick, as well as to look as IDW as it could in robot mode, and I think the constructicons will be simple to accommodate for combined mode, and hopefully a decent robot mode.

[RiddlerJ]

Does anyone know why they're not also selling the figures individually? Seems like a big risk for 5/6 figures to sell only together at a high price. Unless there is some truth to the simplified figures rumor.

First of, that $150 price tag was the converted Canadian price ($180 if you must know), so the US price may be as low as $100. Secondly, it was either 4 Voyagers and a Leader, or 6 Voyagers (the latter pops up more often) as I've heard. It's all moot in 2 to 3 weeks anyway.

I think it might be 6 voyagers because there's a distinct Crane arm slung on Devastator's shoulder, I doubt they'd make hook of all figures the leader class.

[Desslok2201]

Not sure what the shovel you're looking for is... What I can see beyond Klaus' shoulder is Devy's head, Hook's crane pointing up, Scavenger on the arm, Scavenger's treads (in purple) hanging vertically down and slightly behind the super wing, and Scrapper as a leg. Looks pretty G1 so far...

Sure, and that totally makes sense. Fully agreed.


I don't know about you all, but I am super hyped about this reveal!!

[shockblast2]

I wonder what that thing in the box to the right of him is? Are my eyes deceiving me or do I see dinobot colors? Specifically those of Sludge??

????? What about this guys? Do I not see a dinobot colored TF in that box on the floor to the right??

[Cobotron]

Just wanted to bring the photo up so we don't have to keep flipping back 5 pages.

Shockblast - I'm feelin this hype too. For sure.
