It still won't load for me and at this point. I'm fine. I'll wait for a legit review or hell, wait the toy itself not be spoiled

That confirms it. Whether you're a reviewer from the US, or a review from China, you're gonna have shaky "ETR" (Epileptic Transformers Reviewer) syndrome.

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 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.

Random, I've been saying that since Wave 1 of Classics hit the shelf

[EagleBot13]

Not sure if I did the links right, this is the first time I've tried sharing anything like that here; but, here are mirrored YouTube videos I found.

[King Kuuga]

Having seen these reviews, I'm all-in on Devy now. The transformations are simple but intricate enough, the articulation on the individual bots is impressive given the sacrifices they had to make, and I can deal with the lack of good elbows on Scrapper and Long Haul. BRING HIM ON!

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

exaclty its samething as leader lutra magnus legs are hollow on his back side who puts there transformers on shelf looking at there backside as someone buy combiner not to be put on shelf in combined not many people put there combiner bots on shelf in single bot forms unless its to save space.


thank you iphone not able play video have to play it on home computer

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.

Lol I didn't know Mixmaster was a real vehicle! XD

If you quote a post that has lots of images in it, please snip out the images.
And preferably any quoted content that doesn't relate to what you're replying to.

Anyway yes, barrel-forward cement trucks are a thing. We talked about this 80 pages ago, so you have no excuse for not knowing this. [/joke]

Having now watched the videos, That Devastator is a lot more well designed and intricate than I ever anticipated. Every combiner joint is well fastened, everything is really well engineered, and this thing just looks like such a great job. I am giving Hasbro a fist bump for this one so far. Once one of reviewers I watch and can understand reviews this, I can give a better opinion, but these videos made Devastator look amazing. Well Done!
PS: Anyone else remember that guy who saw Devastator at some foreign toy fair and said we was nothing to be excited about, that he was crap, and said similar things about Defensor? I think that guy has extremely high standards. He needs a chill pill man, cause both of those guys look amazing

[shajaki]

Who are these people that keep getting their hands on CW Devy?!

[prjkt]

Looks like Aus is getting Devy on the 22nd of this month via Big W's toy sale. There's some chatter on the Otca forums that it'll be sub Au$200

[shajaki]

This Devy photo-blitz sire is weakening me. I like him the more I see him, especially when he's with MP's

I wish these people, instead of taking stupid pictures, would actually do a review!

This is the stolen Chinese blood money edition of Devastator after all.

Actually the majority of people in China don't speak exclusively Mandarin Chinese. There are actually a lot of English speaking people there, so I don't get why an english speaking person in China can't do a review in English. Even if they don't have access to Youtube or Google.

[Burn]

Probably because they were intending to do it for a Chinese audience.

I normally don't watch the transformation part of video reviews because I don't want to spoil the surprise, but I just couldn't turn away from Devastator being built. 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?

It is quite remarkable the engineering involved. I mean look at them! Ankle tilts on all 7 bots!! The arms are not hollow! The arms even peg in in like 3 different spots! This is fantastic engineering if you ask me, and quite remarkable to watch the combination.
