Yeah, it's probably the Blaster reissue that's been rumored.

The bits that ARE visible look promising. Looking forward to more. I guess if Devastator/Constructicons are done to the point where they can show them off at the place where the Nazis went on trial after WW2, then we'll probably be seeing more soon....

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.

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.

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.

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 don't see it being $100. That is not possible, unless these are all three steps. One voyager is $25 alone, a leader, $45. 25*5=125+45=170

$150 would be a deal for five normal voyagers and a leader. They must be simplified or there is a component missing.

Maybe. Makes sense.

Think, Titan Devastator has the potential of being the best HasTak Transformer of the 2015 year.

This looks amazing, never thought it would look so G1. Can't wait to buy it.

Can anyone tell if Scavenger has a lower arm or not? All I see under the green is black, and I'm hoping his arm mode will have the treads as the lower arm (like Hercules), but I just can't tell right now.

Think if HasTak sells Titan Devastator as only Five team members. With Four Voyagers and One Leader. HasTak can always create a CW Legends toy 6th Constructicon team member later on. The 6th member could form a combiner chest plate, back plate, Targetmaster, Headmaster, boots or?

Can certainly see 3rd parties creating a replacement or add on team member Prowl for Titan Devastator.

I have a feeling that those other boxes (at his feet, and the one right below Bluestreak) are NOT the reissues. The reason being they are in the Combiner Wars branded packaging. The Reissues are presumably going to be in the Platinum line, I would think. Unless there is other evidence that says otherwise.

The very first original rumor information about this figure was that it was six Voyagers. Not five Voyagers, not four Voyagers and a Leader, not Five Voyagers and a Legend. Six Voyagers.

On the box next to Devastator are six circles each calling our attention to something to something of importance.

The design appears to be very G1-inspired, and the rumor that included a Leader came from someone who saw a picture of the toy rather than the toy itself, and whom might not have been aware of Devastator typically having two guys with the same color scheme form his torso.

I don't know why people persist on thinking there's a Leader in this set despite greater reliability and evidence leaning towards the classic setup of six equally sized toys forming Devastator, which would be six Voyagers. $25 x 6 = $150.

I agree with Sabrblade

Also: the Insecticons box is there, and it appears the Blitwing/Astrotrain set is below it, and the Blaster/Perceptor set is on the floor (you can plainly see Blaster's chest).

I'm stoked for 2/14 for sure though

Devy appears to have very statuesque and VERY GEEWUN proportions. It looks like one of the busts Diamond Select made a couple of years ago.
Given from what we've seen from Combiner Wars so far, these Constructicons will probably be more along the lines of Generations Scoop or Brainstorm. Simple, straightforward transformations with chunky and kibble-free robot and vehicle modes.
I was also listening to the track "Autobots Reunite" from the Age of Extinction soundtrack when I saw this news. Gave me serious chills.

Hmmm. Maybe his arm is bent at the elbow? If it actually is extended all the way, there's always the possibility that with all the glare it's blending in with the black background (due to the treads) or it's a work-in-progress model and they haven't finished scavenger yet.

Wait... I just realized something... What if that Klaus fellow and the guy who took the pic were both hasbro employees trying to mess with us by showing us only a part of devvy..... is Hasbro the Illuminati?? (JK, JK) :-?

The Insecticon and Conehead reissues are branded under Generations. Not Combiner Wars, but still Generations.

That Devastator should be good considering the price

God Bless Has/tak :BOWDOWN:

Looking at the pic again, I'm still failing to get hyped...well not as much as a possible Astrotrain reissue. I guess it's because in devys case I wanted IDW version solely because of how different it was and I hoped that when kids today look back thirty years ago from the future they think fondly of the giant green combiner with the scheming police car for a head

I thought Klaus was setting up the display.. Check out his lanyard..
But wait a sec.. Klaus is standing 19.1 inches in front of the Devy display, which is 33 degrees from due north..obviously this reveal has serious masonic overtones.

im pretty surprised i the first to do this... but i figured out how big devy is! based on some very rough math that is....

the TRU MP prowl box i have is 27.5cm (10.8").

and based on my very rough math, i very roughly declare devy is 45.8cm (18") tall!
(very roughly)

Nice job! 18" sounds just about perfect. ( I know that's what she said )
