Overload looks awesome! I'm glad they incorporated some of the concept art into his design, even if he only has two legs. I also kinda like what they did with Devastator's vortex/ neck grinder part. If they couldn't incorporate it into Mixmaster, then just let the leader class dump truck carry it around.

Scrapper looks good as well, but I'd like to see more of him.

And woah, fully colored, properly combined Devastator looks incredible!

What could these be? That Jetfire Optimus does not look like the SS version to me, and who are the others?

Looks like The Fallen and ROTF Megatron. I'm thinking these are some of those movie customs with the dioramas that show up at some of the conventions.

Since they've all been revealed, can we just pause to reflect on how well designed all the constructicons have been? Like they were not generic designs - far from it, and to have been carried out this well, with so few sacrifices made, and on top of that, they all combine into an amazing gestalt. Love em or hate em, this is an impressive set 8-)

Agreed, I really love the fact that 4 are the standard bipedal form yet give themselves a unique look(jagged legs, long arms, chonky boi, and tall boi), while the other 4 have unique aspects to themselves (four arms, one snake tail, giant wheels, and a dinosaur)

Oh definitely, this combiner has seen some amazing design and engineering.

OK wow, that's just awesome! I just found Mixmaster at Target, coincidentally. Very excited now!

IMO, this is one of the greatest design and engineering achievements in transformers history. Eight unique figures, across every size class in the line, each with good, fully functional and accurate robot and alt modes, that combine into a massive, movie-accurate behemoth? I remember when SS started, people wondered not only if we would get Devastator, but if he was even possible. And here we are.

I'm just glad overload has more than 4 limbs, though I still wish he was a four legged four-armed murder-crab like in the one of the concept arts. Scrapper also looks cool.

Literally one day after I post this and I finally found him.

I'm glad we're finally getting a looksy at Dev. And, it does look pretty cool. However, it's combined proportions are not quite what I was expecting.

Agreed, but I hope it's a matter of adjusting the legs, torso, etc.

I really want to see him with the 2009 Supreme Dev, CW, and maybe some other 3P ones.

He actually doesnt look that bad. I think the less hunched over look makes him look better. Still not buying it but not too bad.

:MAXIMAL:

These look great, Scrapper actually looks much better than I was expecting. I agree that the combined mode's proportions look a little off, though.

Am I the only one who thinks it looks like Overload might have a four-legged mode too? Maybe I'm just being overly hopeful, but his legs and feet look like they could split in half...

Wonder Festival 2020 is now underway in Japan with the displays finalized and image coming in from various twitter accounts and websites. Below you can see Studio Series Devastator in his fully colored combined mode, including his final two components, Leader Class Overload and Voyager Class Scrapper. Feast your eyes below on the mighty Constructicon combiner in all his glory!

We see all of the individual Constructicons on display as well. The combined mode is displayed with a pyramid recreating the final battle of Revenge of the Fallen, on a thematic level. That Devastator is custom painted though.

So now that we've finally seen Studio Series Devastator's final two components, and his fully combined form, are you excited to complete this massive combiner? Let us know what you think below, and stay tuned to Seibertron for the latest from Wonder Festival 2020!

Overly hopeful unfortunately. The legs do split in half, but not in a way that would help because the feet look to be a solid piece. Take a look at the combined mode. Overload's feet become Devy's (sort of) collar bones.

Who else here wishes the movie had had a big Jetpower Optimus vs. Devastator fight?

Me! Unfortunately, Devastator’s model was too much for the cgi as it was.

Me too.

I cannot wait to form Devastator now

I don’t understand how they omitted the red pieces that flare up over the shoulders. That really makes the silhouette pop...

Well at least you could fight him as Jetpower Prime in the ROTF Game.

Going by the grey model they presented a while back, it seems that Overload was meant to form a squatter lower body while Mixmaster was supposed to hang lower in head mode. My guess is that it might have been slightly difficult to work out on a transforming toy. Still thought I am really pleased with the results.
