When he comes out I wanna see a variant of Devastator that replaces Long Haul with Skipjack (so both him and Rampage as legs)

I think the legs and arms are interchangeable right?

Nope, connections are different/Asymmetrical, no way to swap legs. You can only swap arms

Although, if someone had 2 Overloads, I do wonder if you could swap some parts easily enough to put 2 of the Rampage connectors on the same bot and make it work.

The Fallen: What's wrong with the big guy? Why does he keep falling over?
Megatron: Two left feet.

I think I might have found my new favorite bit of stupid fun. Super-Duper Gobot Stacks mode.

Whereas the original Stacks looked a bit goofy, this looks badass (and goofy).

Ah shame, thanks for letting me know.

Leadfoot is back up for pre-order on Target.com!

Edit: Wow, nevermind. Dang, glad I got my confirmation email!

So, I've encountered a potential issue with devs - and I don't know if it's because I don't have his shoulder assembly transformed correctly or what - but the weight of the arms seems to be putting immense pressure on the two very small tabs that hold the shoulders up, and I'm really worried about them

I've noticed it but haven't had any issues, or any worry about weight. They're more a backup to the main joints.

I was talking about the tab that connects the shoulder to the arm under the tires on his back, the left arm especially seems to be wrenching it forward

You're gonna have to take a pic and specify, not sure which one you are talking about now

This one, I dunno if I don't have the wheels on his back transformed right, cuz they just freely move up and down, but those tabs are under a lot of stress from the arms, maybe I'm just worried about nothing

[D-Maximal_Primal]

Those are the ones i was talking about too, they are pretty solid, I am not worried about mine, it looks to be holding up fine

I never found any of the 2020 studio series voyagers at retail. Until yesterday when I found Movie 1 megatron. And while it's now old for all of you, I really want to talk about it. I really hated all original toys, finding the design lazy and the jet being more of a flight mode for the robot rather than an actual vehicle he converts into. But this one is wonderful. Hasbro and Takara have given megatron a meaty conversion with a bunch of new details not shared in robot mode. I love transforming this and I really love how solid the vehicle mode is due to a myriad of tabs that fit just right. It's very satisfying. Also no visible head syndrome and gorgeous paint.
Highly recomend!

Still kinda wish he had his correct chest instead of recycling ROTF Megatron's chest.

This right here.

But totally agreed, voyager Megatron is a fantastic toy, I love it so much

[D-Maximal_Primal]

Some really good designs here


this new season of Attack on Titan is getting really weird

God Breacher was such a good figure and probably within my top 5 figures period, want to find another to replace my broken one at some point.

Loving your pictures D-max. It would be awesome to see what you can do with him on all fours!
I found out that some Kleenex makes good sucking movement and added a blast effect up top to make it a bit better.

OMG! The REAL reason for the recent TP shortage!

Thanks. I tried some all-fours, but i actually like him more upright, he looks more intimidating that way, and for the shelf he will take up less space. I need to find a left hand configuration I like more for all-fours.

Nice use of what I believe is a Black Widow effect part?

Gosh this toy is my grail right here

Yup the effect part is from a black widow pack.

This is also one of my grails. I remember first seeing devastator combine at the drive-in on opening weekend back in 2009 (I was only 10 at the time and it was just incredible). I have said this before and I will keep on saying it. Studio Series has been dream come true after dream come true! I now have so many of the characters that I grew up loving (and still do) in plastic form and it is just great. Here is to many more great years of this line!

The only thing I would say different is that I was 14 when I saw Devastator combine. It still gives me goosebumps. Him, DotM Prime, Movie 1 Megs and Bee, all things that have gave me the nostalgia rush no other thing can

Do y’all selves a favor and get you a Blitzwing if you can find one. Aside from his shoulders/pecs seemingly not able to peg securely into the chest (depending on the wings and the ports on mine aren’t the strongest), he’s really good IMO. Another sweet addition to the line!
