But Devastator can't pick up MP Optimus in one hand.

lol. And that's why you can't win with scale and G1. Everything is so incredibly inconsistent.

It's a good thing we have Optimi of every size to make up for the show's inconsistencies when replicating a scene

Hey, Sabrblade! Good call on Titan Dev coming up to Metroplex's "belly button" (the round button on his torso.) ;)^

I can think of several legacy Primes that will fit the bill nicely here.

Wow Devastator is bigger then I anticipated! I am really looking forward to this! =P~

"Rightfully Huge", anyone?

Screw Devastator....I want THIS!!!!!

I saw it further down the page. I see it's Iron Factory's Maiden packaging, but a Preda(micro)King would be Suh-WEEEEEEEET!!!!

But that's how they're supposed to look:

Generations is really inconsistent with this. One moment it's slavishly G1 to the point of absurdity, the next moment it's all incredibly loose reimaginings.

I agree, its to the point where the only difference between this and the masterpiece line is the quality, not necessarily the scale or design.

After the comparison to the other combiners, this is exactly what I've been looking for.... comparison to MP10. Safe to assume a similar size scale with Gen. Leader Megs too. I'm definitely going to get this guy now.

Considering the considerable strain on my wallet, I'm going to skip Superion, Menesor and all and get only Devastator. (That's the plan.... anyway!)

Titan Devy looks a bit taller than Armada Unicron, whose head-horns & shoulder-horns only reach up to the second/lower row of windows on Metroplex's ab section. Devastator's head seems to reach up to the bottom of the ramp door on Metro's chest. So, that looks like about an inch difference in height, is that about right? :-?

I now want a picture of Devastator grappling with the Chaos Bringer.

RTS legend size OP (or any of the various rereleases of that mold) would be a good one.

Well Long Haul isn't missing no meals, I hear he peruses buffets with Energon Prime.
So these look good, and they may be the only official solution to an MP scale Devastator ever. At the very least the most affordable one. However for large purchases this year Trypticon is way ahead of this in my sights. If I manage to get Trypticon and I find this on sale I'd consider it.

You're right about Long Haul. I guess you could say all those Energon goodies...

*puts on sunglasses*

...goes right to your hips.

I expected Devastator to be as big as Metroplex. He is much smaller. :-(

I think cosplay is the only way that'll ever happen.

Wow, he's bigger than I expected. :shock:

I feel bad for any Hasbro staff reading these comments. At least they make some people happy.

I actually have been drooling for a CW Predaking for a while now, =P~

but I knew everyone else already has thought of it so I didn't bother mentioning it.

Wut yo talkin about? Huh? I'm happy! I am looking forward to Devy!

Wasn't Metroplex sold for around $300.00 or something at retail? Cuz if that's the case, then considering the size of Devastator, $150.00 is a GREAT DEAL! :saint:

I'm not sure what to think regarding his size now that I've seen him next to Metroplex. I never really though about how he'd size up but I guess in the back of my mind I thought "Titan, be as big as Metroplex", but that is a substantial size difference.

Which makes sense, Metroplex is intended to be a city so Devestator should be smaller, but the whole "Titan" thing feels like a lie.

But then you size him up against the other CW combiners and suddenly the "Titan" thing makes sense.

Not that it matters, I'm buying him regardless.

Perhaps all this time it's just been one big long plan to put out as many Optimii's as they can so people have a variety of choices to choose from when they release the big guy.

No, the retail version of metroplex was sold how a bit more than 100$.
