My biggest gripe with Devastator is that the individual Constructicons don't have their guns. Seems like for $150 we could have gotten 6 guns to make this a complete set.

What do you think Hasbro is, Takara?

Hasbro doesn't usually strip parts and accessories though. I can only think of two examples in the past 10 or 15 years where that's happened ... Universe Hot Shot (Henkei Hot Rod had the missiles and launchers) and Alternators Windcharger (Binaltech Overdrive had the gun).

Holy flashbacks Batman! If I remember correctly Hasbro legally could not release Windcharger with the gun due to the licensing agreement.

By the way, this happy little thread has gone to 100 pages. I feel oddly proud for some reason.

Just being "sarcastic jerk" chuck and not addressed to you (or Ryan) at all but weapon stripping? Henkei and Alternators not owning a weapon? Related to the thread as in comparing the domestic release Devs has no weapons included while the TT set has them included? Isn't this blurring the lines between two different threads?

Now seriously. Could cost concerns or safety concerns be the issue? Maybe Hasbro is afraid some stoopid kid would swallow the guns and the equally id10tic parents will sue the pants off Hasbro?

Either way, this is icing on the cake when choosing Devs.

That's a very good question but kinda hard to answer now since we only have one pic of the weapons and nothing to compare their size to, yet.

What if it isn't stripping, but TakaraTomy adding them to the base toy instead?

I am REALLY liking Devastator so far!! Sure he has problems, but man does he appeal to me! I'm hoping to get the SDCC Version since I prefer that deco, but the regular is still awesome!
Also, I know there are third party hands and feet upgrades for the Combiners, but is there any third party companies planning to make arm and/or foot upgrades for this figure? That'd be nice

I would like an upgrade for his hands, but Devy's feet are fine.

How is it possible to mod the feet? It's been integrated into the robots themselves(Scrapper's arms and Mixmaster's cab).

Exactly.

[DedicatedGhostArt]

Well I'll be damned. Thanks Takara and WTH Hasbro!?!?

Is this the Hasbro version with the guns? Don't get me wrong, I think the guns are a nice touch, but I wouldn't cry if they didn't come with them.

Delete this comment, thank you admins. Why can't I delete my own comments?

Are these double posts? I swear I read more "delete this please" than anything else from you lately.

I'm sorry, my computer is slow, so sometimes, it posts things twice, and I can't delete my own comments. I'm sorry my computer is stupid.

Dude, it likely has nothing to do with your computer. Just click the 'post' button once. Once.

I'll delete it when he reports it. Like what people should always do instead of editing their posts and going "double post, please delete" and hope we stumble across it.

Exactly.

So why even raise the question? Dev's feet are fine no matter whether you say so or not as it's been integrated into his design as Scrapper and Mixmaster. Is it to just post nonsense to rake up your post counts?

Look I know most people here are older than me, but you don't have to make me feel stupid.

You guys have been here MUCH LONGER than me, cuz you're old.

Burn(t)!

For those of our readers who live in Australia, I've got some unfortunate news for you.

It's Monday.

BUT, to make your Monday a little more tolerable we have some news for you regarding the Devastator courtesy of forum member prjkt who has alerted us to the listing for Devastator on Big W's website.

Currently listed for $198AU that price may drop from June 25 when Big W launches their "Total Toy Domination 2 (the sequel) Sale". With the catalogue set to be released on June 20 we'll have more information then on just how much he'll be. The question is there, will he get a wide release? Let the hunt begin June 25!

If you find him, let us know in our sightings section.

We get to wait until Comicon in the US is over so they dont undercut their sales. Stupid in my opinion.

Around 153+ Benjamins. Fair price Burn?

Given by your responses, you remind me of tsutsu redux.

$33AU per individual figure. Deluxe figures are normally around the $30AU mark. So not too bad I suppose. Hopefully there is a price reduction for the sale and this isn't the special price (because if this isn't the regular price then he's just not going to sell)

If guns don't come with the Hasbro retail version of Devy, something on Shapeways will DEFINITELY pop up.

Dude, Dr Wu has already hinted at doing the guns. Try to keep up.
