All I know is, it's probably not because of Hugh Jackman. That Guy's awesome.

Martin Bryant actually.

Some people met the lead Takara designer for Devastator and he said that Devastator was not made to be an MP, and that there was currently no plans for releasing MP combiners.

Touché salesman."Not made to be...with no plans" equals "MP by default" to me :michaelbay:

BUT that's just me!! He fits there for my collection, I know he's not supposed to. Also, the price is all wrong for him to be MP :lol

Until that day where we have official MP combiners, I've got my Devastator (and Leader Megatron) with my MPs. Even if that day comes, I probably won't bite easily; they really work well with MPs, IMO!

A thought just crossed my mind. Those who have Lost Light crew shelves in their collection must be real glad that the Cosntructicons are not aboard the Lost Light.

Yeah, word. Leader Magnus has forced me to rethink my display setup. I haven't even begun to try and figure out what to do with Devastator once he shows up.

He very nearly ended up with my MP's (because of his damn size!) but I just couldn't bring myself to do it.

I simply can't mix up my figures like that!

I actually find that for the scale I want, he works better with the classics. To me, the combiner wars scramble city combiners when work better with the legends toys (example, shockwave with bruticus) so the size of Devastator combined works better with normal deluxes and voyagers.

Nope, not that easy for me.

Devastatator was released under the Combiner Wars line, not the Masterpiece line. I can accept putting Combiner Wars with "CHUG" figures and get on the Neo-G1 bandwagon, but I simply cannot put figures that weren't released under the Masterpiece banner with the Masterpieces. I'm just that damn anal.

Anything I can do to help the cause :lol:

Seriously though. CW Devastator is amazing. I'm happier with him than I was when I got Metroplex. I'm guessing due to nostalgia. And then comparing him to my G1 I was so happy I literally giggled and said "Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?! This is amazing!!" My wife was amused :lol:

Alternators Hound and Jazz have been part of my MP collection from the getgo. They scale so very well.

Translucent windows and hand articulation FTW!! I have Jazz, Sunstreaker, Sideswipe, Silverstreak (to be replaced by MP Bluestreak this week) and Rodimus with my MP Optimus, Grimlock, Rodimus Prime, Prowl

Alternators Rodimus definitely needs a wing. Still looking for Alternators Hound, Mirage at decent prices, I think I missed one or two options over the weekend..

So Devy with my MP Decepticons isn't a stretch based on my past mixing

Alternators Shock(wave)blast is here on my desk at work, he's too tiny to be on my MP shelf for my liking :lol:

There's not really much to enjoy. I can't sit and watch TV and play around with him/them as I've been doing with Superion.

Then finding room for him ... gah.

Impressive well engineered figure, but a bloody pain in the arse.

But they weren't released under the MP line. Plus, they sit with the other Alternators (while my Binaltechs remained boxed and displayed in the lounge)

Its ok, I have an empty wallet too... after buying Takara's Devy :DANCE:

But still, it does suck to see everybody having a good time with their devastators when you dont have your own. Don't think I will be able to brag as much when my Takara one comes in since everyone will be over the mold at that point.

Hey, what happened to all the b!tching and moaning about Scrapper's arms?

You're not factoring in my short attention span.

If it's any consolation I had to wait for Unite Warriors Superion before I could truly enjoy Combiner Wars. It was fun and all transforming Alpha Bravo and Offroad back and forth between robot, alt, arm and leg ... but they do look kinda silly when not combined.

And I'm still waiting on Menasor, and I have no idea how I'm going to get Defensor.

Sorry if I missed it in almost 400 pages of CW thread, but is Australia not getting regular release CW, or do you just gotta have Groove?
