So far, I am very impressed with the engineering to this toy, especially the joints. Very elegant solutions to this combiner. Too bad about the forearm kibble (the biggest disappointment to this set besides Mixmaster's "alt mode") - could have made it so that the treads of Bonecrusher and Scavenger forms Devastator's forearms like TFC's Hercules.

Ah, but THEN you'd have G1 purists and Classics collectors complaining about that not being how it was, just like Mixmaster. It's the fraggin' Kobayashi Maroon of Transformers!

I'm honestly not that bugged by devastators "flaws". So what if scrapper doesn't have elbows or long haul is stocky. 90% of the time he'll be in combine mode

I'm a classics only collector and I am all about this toy. I said before I have Maketoys green giant but I am all about this guy. I'm not someone who complains and screams "hastak is crap and doesn't give us good stuff and 3rd parties are the way to go!"
It's amazing that after 9 years were still getting G1 modernized toys because they really don't have be giving us that stuff They could be just focusing on movie and RID stuff but they're not. I'm just thankful they're doing stuff like this.

Keep in mind, the CHUG line is supposed to draw in the more hardcore, diehard G1/G2/MW/BW/BM/RID2001/A/E/C/Ani/Prime/RID2015/DW/IDW fans. There is NO WAY Hasbro/Takara would let that big fish swim away.
About this new Mixmaster - it just seem like they could had picked a better alt mode choice. It just seem like a lazy choice on their part when a typical front ender looks like these:
It doesn't look like any of that at all. With Devastator's foot sticking out like that, it made the effort all the more lazy.

That is some impressive engineering going on there. With all the little tabs, flip outs, folds and such, I'm surprised each bot has three modes.
Pre-orders, why you no open?
