The fact that there's a pretty decent amount of hate for Devastator just means that it'll be just as difficult to find as if everyone loved it. The way I see it, this is going to be an impulse buy. If you ever see it you'll have to pick it up right then and there or run the risk of never finding it again. Especially nowadays with so many scalpers and such shoddy stocking from stores.

back before it was announced it would have either been the best devastator or the worst. and its the worst.
The worst how? Worst than the G1 throttlebots? Worst than Beast Machines Silverbolt? Worse than ROTF Devastator's design (testicles and all)? Worst than Animated Voyager Megatron?

I can't speak for everyone but I'll tell you why I won't be getting it. I was excited when I first saw this with Klaus because I thought this would be the last Devy I'd ever have to buy- thinking that Hasbro had totally nailed it and this would be for Devy what MP-13 is for Soundwave, and it's not by a long shot. It looks cheap, God knows what is going on with that Mixmaster foot, the lack of articulation... I think this breaks my back on Hasbro purchases. I can't bring myself to buy 3rd party on principle, but TT gets my money from here on out. I'll pay the extra money to get thicker plastic, better paint apps and even some die cast here and there. If any of you want this, there's one more that won't be purchased out there for you. Good luck and good hunting.

Another complaint about the "Mixmaster foot". they gave Mixmaster a "reverse" cement truck mode. the drum motor is in the back and the drum itself is angled the opposite way of the more traditional trucks. the "foot" is the drum's motor housing, and the front of the truck is what is pegging in at the knee. why is this hard to figure out??

hasbro did nail it! since the original g1 toy, this is more show accurate then that too
you people gripe at anything slightly off about show accuracy or articulation and just because its Hasbro its cheap B.S. your right about one thing you dont like then dont buy it! go spend twice as much or more for a minimal variation TT version

First of all, I was answering a question and I wasn't coming out swinging and trying to be nasty. If you like it, great, get it. And by mentioning TT, I was saying that I'm waiting for MP, not buying the TT version of this. I don't get the hate for fellow collectors because their opinion differs, though. As I said before, if you want it, best of luck to you.

...You do realize the ONLY change between the TakaraTomy and Hasbro versions of the toys are the paint apps, right? TakaraTomy and Hasbro Transformers figures are literally made in the same factories, with the same equipment. Any difference in quality between the Hasbro and TakaraTomy versions of a toy are due to the TakaraTomy versions often coming out later, thus giving them time to make minor fixes. When Hasbro and TT release toys at the same time, they are the exact same product, aside from paint apps. Sorry to burst your little bubble of pretention and imagined superiority, but TakaraTomy doesn't magically make the toys better, or add die-cast (that myth is incredibly stupid), they just have slightly better paint apps and better stock photography.

That is really weird considering RotF Mixmaster.
Or, it could have been a case where it was okay since ROTF Mixmaster only formed Devastator's head, which is a much smaller body part than a leg.
Yes. yes, he was...
[Edit] And having owned the legends movie Devastator, it suffered from all sorts of scale issues that were well hidden in the movie....
