I'd imagine it doesn't help that the SS Constructicons themselves have a picture of Devastator with a gray face on the sides of their boxes.

I'll be honest, I'm so used to remembering the grey that I didn't even think it was note worthy :shock:

Hoping we'll get to see some non-combined pics of Scrapper and Overload too in the near future.

I mean, it’s mistransformed like a mofo, but damn if it isn’t yuge and bigly, just the way I like my Devastators. :-D

Possibly unpopular opinion: this IS this current design teams' magnum opus; a titan+ class movie devastator, that's at least semi-poseable, and looks amazing all whilst still having excellent individual figures all of whom have rather great vehicle modes as well, with nothing - save scale - being compromised? You cannot convince me that this isn't their greatest work yet, this shouldn't have come out looking this great, but, here we are

Yeah, it's definitely impressive. I haven't had high hopes for the combined mode because of just how hard I imagine it to be, but it's looking like it'll at least be decent, which is impressive. You look at some of the figures like Long Haul and wonder how they didn't get it right before, which is a sign that the newest design really works and makes sense.

I do wish they had gone the extra mile to keep some things from the prototype though. I would really like to see his firepower in robot mode, and Hightowers cable is something that there's no reason to not include except cutting cost.

Are floppy shoulder joints on Rampage a common problem, or am I just cursed? Because I've gone through three of them so far and all of them have had one or the other of the right shoulder joints be super loose.

My Rampage’s shoulders are fairly stiff, so you’re just cursed. >:oP

just a quick reminder that a couple of days ago on youtube a videoreview for Mixmaster too has been uploaded.

A transformer who is a truck who's front turns into a giant face is actually a terrifying concept.

To imagine it going down a street and gobbling up any poor human it came across at high speeds would make for a unique Decepticon.

Maybe he could be the guy who eats materials and energy to convert into energon for other Decepticons.

Easy pass for me, never liked the monstrous design.

I suddenly have an urge to watch Maximum Overdrive :-?

Studio Series Devesator looks to be a feat of engineering though, the designers need a pat on the back and someone to buy them a pint.

Thanks to InDemand Toys and Super Hero Toy Store we have some new stock images for the upcoming 2020 Studio Series toys, which many fans are excited about. These wave 8 deluxes include SS-49 Bumblebee (2007 Camaro from the first film), SS-50 WWII Hot Rod (The Last Knight)

Speaking of Mixmaster, a video review has been uploaded. We thank MadProject for letting us know.

Jus want to thank for the video., But it's a poor video when he don't show Mixmaster transforms into Devastator head.. the video jus skips straight to showing his face an not how it transform... I like the figure..hell I'm gonna buy two for my display, one to combine with Devastator an the other because he got killed by Jetfire in the movie. I appreciate the post.

One of the Has/Tak transformers you know they will never make ideas I suggested was the Green Goblin truck from Maximum Overdrive...it could be a possibility now o.O will just need to find a dispensor to go with him or the toyhax labels and a spare TR cassette bot.

Am I the only one who is amused at how short Mixmaster is compared to the other Constructicons? The video makes him look like he’s just as tall as “Ze Little One”.

News Credits: 53 · by **EvasionModeBumblebee** » Sun Oct 27, 2019 11:29 am

Bumblebee’s still looking great in these new stock photos! The render on the box is super cool looking, it’s actually a tweaked version of one of the ROTF renders.

I just noticed that Soundwave also has some molded detail inside the folding headlight pieces to help show some more of the speakers from the CGI model, so that’s cool!

As much as I like the slow teases, I am ready to see Devastator in full form dammit! I am ready to see the king!

Fun fact in the actual movie Mixamaster is shorter then Scrapmetal, so this is accurate to the movie scale.

Which makes Scaple's orders either disobeyed or a continuity error

A 3-pack of small figures sold at the Deluxe pricepoint, like how Jazz was tiny for a Deluxe.

Snagged this guy from my buddy Megatronus from the podcast this weekend!

And having now opened him and started to mess with him, how the hell is it possible that the $30 Studio series figure is better than the $100 MP???

Glad you’re liking him! Yeah, I think it looks better than the MPM too. Currently up there for my favorite Studio Series figure and one of my favorite figures in general!

News Credits: 1641 · by **D-Maximal_Primal** » Mon Oct 28, 2019 5:56 pm

It isn't even fair! the Studio guy has such a better torso! everything tabs in, the arms don't disturb things, everything stays in place and it doesn't look like the back of his shoulders are underbulked, no extra kibble on the arms, it's amazing how good the studio one is!

Glad I finally decided to get him. He is fantastic

Hearing that makes me realize why MPM Ironhide's $50 on BBTS right now :lol:

locking shoulders lol.... I'm in the same boat... had originally skipped the voyager because I didn't like their lack of doing *anything* with the front bumper... but after being "less than thrilled" with the MP... my local target stocked him again, and decided "screw it" I've basically got the cast @ SS and MP size (which I was originally trying to prevent... (oops).
