But ... there must be an explaination for the clear missile-racks? Maybe lights?

Otherwise, breathtaking figure.

Because he's mis-transformed. Whoever transformed him also forgot to flip forward the panels of the front of the tank, the ones that cover the treads...

I know he's really Brawl, and calling himself Devestator was just a problem with a change when the movie was completed but I just like to call him Devastator.decepticonjon wrote:Scream wrote:I will definantly get Leader Devastator(I'm too used to calling him that).

I do wish there were some larger Autobots rather than just Optimus... it seems they are a little outmatched in terms of toy selection.

Same here. They should have made a Voyager version without the lever gimmick that they like to put on Leader Prime and megatron.
If Brawl doesn't play as big of a role as Barricade, Bonecrusher, or Blackout do, then I really can not justify myself buying a leader class of him. I know, I'm such a wet blanket.

He doesn't look to me as being more detailed than his deluxe version, sure hope I am wrong.

It is a mistransformation, he was properly transformed when displayed at Botcon:

Hasbro doesn't take the promotional photographs. They're outsourced. So if the person doing the photography doesn't understand the transformation, it gets shot wrong.
Learned that on the tour.

Since in the game they pit Jazz against Screamer and Blackout alone I'm guessing he can hold his own... To bad I can't get passed that patently unfair fight.
I like it though. They need more big cons. More in scale with the bots.

I took Starscream out first, because he doesn't regenerate health, you have to take Blackout down before he transforms, it can be done but you have to do it quickly.

Blackout needs a Leader-Class figure! The mob demands it!
But Brawl, um, I will pass.
He needs more detailing like Leader Prime for me to justify a $40 price point.
But the scale is great.

let me count the ways:
1. What's with the tank cannon doing an armada megatron hip thing? The deluxe figure is far superior with the big mo fo cannon on the arm thing.
2. Those tank treads SHOULD be rubber. BW Transmetal Rampage had rubber treads and he was an Ultra. Leader Class Prime has rubber tires - he's a leader class. Brawl SHOULD have rubber tank treads instead of those huge blobs of plastic on his shoulders.
3. The detailing on this leader class figure looks like a carbon copy of what we got with deluxe.... which was really great for a deluxe - but looks minimalistic on a leader class figure...
So - I'm gonna pass.

Great. $40.00 more out the window.

Wiat until September/October, he, like all of the other movie figures, will be on clearance at your local BigBoxMart.
Seriously.

Possibly, but I'm an impatient SOB.
And to those of you who say he's no different from the Deluxe model...you're wrong. Aside from the cannon's placement, he also has claws on his legs, that do something.
I'm sure there's even more gimmicks in there somewhere.

Well, of course, any transformer does the exact same thing: Transform. Well, except for those bastard Actionmasters, but that's neither here nor there.
Yes, you can get the Delux version for $10, but believe me, there is NO comparison in these toys. The Leader size one is quite impressive, it lacks the arm flaws of the Delux version, and is actually somewhat in scale.
You may want to at least take a look at the Leader one in person before making a choice.

Because brawl was freakin' huge in the movie they gave him a leader class so he's be sized a little more correctly.Scream wrote:Someone please answer my question! What makes Brawl so special thast he gets his own leader figure?
Posted by Scream on July 4th, 2007 @ 12:12pm CDT
Then why didn't they do that to Bonecrusher or especially Blackout? Blackout is the biggest con but his figure is the size of an deluxe and Bonecrusher is supposed to be the same size as Prime.Samsonator wrote:Because brawl was freakin' huge in the movie they gave him a leader class so he's be sized a little more correctly.Scream wrote:Someone please answer my question!

I'm guessing it involved a spinning dartboard with several decepticon names on it, and a man with a dart, Brawl just happened to get darted.Scream wrote:Then why didn't they do that to Bonecrusher or especially Blackout?

Blackout has durability issues, but at least he's a Voyager.

I think it was a larger Bonecrusher figure they were talking about...

Yes, he came in the last battle, barely killed any humans, and was destroyed by BB. So your point?YouFearGalvatron wrote:Scream wrote:Someone please answer my question! What makes Brawl so special thast he gets his own leader figure?
