If you haven't heard the news we posted yesterday, or have yet to catch up on our coverage of the Hasbro panel - read on below to find out more about the upcoming Titan class Transformers Generations Combiner Wars Devastator! The biggest gestalt figure in the franchise's history so far, showed in a promo video using clips and artwork from the past, will be released as a box set with Marcelo Matere artwork of six Voyager figures: Mixmaster, Hook, Scrapper, Long Haul, Scavenger, and Bonecrusher. According to ScottyP and Seibertron, Scrapper looks almost as tall as G1 Devastator, and Long Haul and Hook fit the bill in robot modes, bulky enough and with the right headsculpts - but check out for yourselves in the images below, directly from the Hasbro area at the New York Toy Fair 2015!

Is it is good as herc? not really, However Hasbro's devastator also isn't a $600+ boutique collectible released in and around the few ten thousand production copy range.

Do not want.

So many flat, hollow limbs with abysmal articulation. The other combiner individuals were looking pretty decent, this is a step back (or two) to the FoC-level of things.
Though Devy himself is looking OK.

For $150,Devastator and his individual Constructicons look real good.

Man, these could have been great. Probably going to get the 3rd party one

Combined mode looks pretty good, although I still think the head and arms suck.

The individual figures themselves look like the upscaled G1 figures, with a bit more articulation. Just dreadful. Looking at the picks there are like two that look like decent Deluxe Class figures, but these are supposed to be Voyagers ...

these new shots give his head more depth, looks better than original shots led me to believe.

i was going to use that as a positive :lol:

theres a few hollow bits here and there (bonecrusher's legs? eww) but other than that, they look like they jumped right out of the cartoon! i would buy this entire set JUST for scrapper. he looks puuurrrrfect.

I'm not sure that view of Scrapper in robot mode is the best view to make the elbow judgement. Perhaps there's a hinge there somewhere. It's not exactly a dealbreaker for me, as I'm sure a 3rd party can fix it if there are in fact no elbows on Scrapper.

Boy I'm stoked for Devastator. Gonna have to preorder him when it comes up!

This is an awesome year for Transformers. Tons of combiners, and an awesome Ultra Magnus figure coming!

Hercules for me.

You guys have some high standards, that Devastator looks amazing!

I have to say, with the exception of Longhaul, the other 5 look in fact like Voyager upscales of G1 selves with only slight tweeks here and there. Longhual looks like hes got a deviation from his G1 toy due to him now having the ablity to directly peg into the legs and thus needing a new/altered Transformation.

i think they did a great job for the price.. even the fact they're all voyager etc. The robot modes are incredibly g1 esque. And the combined mode is awesome... metroplex stands to the right of my tv... maybe i can have devy on the left...

Yeah the 3rd part ones might look better and have more intricate detailing and transformations but for the price i'd rather go with an official release. Only 3rd party product that's really rempting me right now is hexatron and i'd rather get the sixshot reissue first.

They're ugly and I <3 them. But hasbro you decide out of all those bots to say F the elbows on scrapper, if this is the case shame on you hasbro you're better than that. :BANG_HEAD:

He actually does: problem is, they only swivel and don't hinge. #-o

The nerdsphere of the interwebz has been playing around with comparisons, and here are the results:

Compared to G1 Devastator.

Meaning that CW Devastator should come up to Metroplex' chest.

Looks to me that scrapper just has really simple hinges.

Seriously guys. This is awesome and priced fairly. I have more chance picking this up than third party stuff.

I thought this was a forum for transformers toy fans and not "counts as" imitation toys.

I just can't get over the attitude some people have. Maybe Hasbro shouldn't even bother anymore and just make toys for robots in disguise.
