Well I am Australian. It's kinda what we're known for.
Each of Titan Class Devastator's components is roughly the size of the original Devastator toy.
Titan Devastator was a collaboration between designers John Warden and TakaraTomy's Shogo Hasui, who was driven by an almost-religious fervor to see that Devastator reached perfection (and reportedly got very little sleep in the process).
With Titan Devastator considered the one chance to do an accurate "dream scale" Devastator that would appeal to both hardcore and casual fans, Hasbro did not want to commit to doing "Prowlastator," given that concept's relatively recent introduction into the lore.
While the color layout of the Devastator on display was final - including painted black "windows" on his Mixmaster foot - the green will be changed for better consistency on the finished product.
Mixmaster's change into an industrial cement mixer came about both to modernize him and to bring him into better scale with Long Haul's gigantic "mining dump truck" altmode.
Devastator's poseability includes "monster hip joints" and rocker ankles on both sides.
A presenter suggested that it would be pretty awesome to see Devastator redone as the Build Team.

I never cared about either change or non change but I do not like lack of consistency in reasoning for design.

I don't see how Hook will combine as a leg though...

I can see a 3P group doing a two pack consisting of a compatible Prowl and a reengineered Hook to form the left leg.

Every day. Those larger sets get really expensive. Maybe it is a space issue. But also, maybe there is hope.

They tried everyone with that beautiful Mixmaster drawing. But in reality you get a toilet on wheels.
