Previously, we have seen pictures of 3rd Party Product Producer TFClub's Scavenger and Hook. Concerns for the need to have a third appendage hold them up have bothered many on the site.

A few more pictures have been shared on ACToys of the TFClub Hook showing some poses of him with Generations/Reveal the Shield Grapple.

And for those that want to know what Hook's part in the combined form might look like, we get a hint at Devastator's head, and what appears to be a very G1 like shoulder, neck, and head transformation.

You can visit ACToys to see the images for yourself, or check out the mirrored versions below! Thanks to the faster than fast Blurrz for the find.

Looks to pretty solidly be deluxe-sized.

Agreed, its definitely smaller than Grapple, although im sure hes a fair bit larger than the average voyager.

either way, i probably wont have to build a new set of shelves just to accomodate him. Cant wait to see him with my 2 Bruticus', Superion and classics devy (which i may well sell on the basis of this haha).

any idea when theyre aiming to 'roll them out' (pardon the obvious pun)

Looks like the crane part is removable. That should solve any "tail" issues everyone is blathering about.

This set looks way cool. Might not be the best posability (due to no feet on ball joints for those wide-legged stances) but very impressive considering the are essentially triple changers.

On a side note, I really appreciate Google translate, but it does seem to fail pretty hard with Chinese:

Very nice. I'm beyond interested, I'm outright excited for this. You know what? Sorry Xovergen, I'm saving up for the Ultimate classics-grade Devastator.

I wonder if they heard us puzzling about the size?
ANY WORD ON THE PRICING OR RELEASE DATE(S)?

lets see, the average Fansproject Transformer is 60$ bucks a whack. if they make all 6 constructicons, we're lookin at a 300 dolor set. that being said, its still cheper then trying to find a compleate G1 devastator

I have 2 questions:

1. How many TF Clubs are there ??? (I count this one as number 3 so far)

2. Third party companies leak prototype pictures to promote upcoming figures to fans (makes sense right ???) Hasbro whines like a bunch of b***hes when theyre prototype photos get leaked. Like if the photos are going to prevent sales ??? Why is this ???

Well, TF Club/TFC toys isn't a club, for one. It's a toy company.

Then there's the Transformers Collector's Club.

What's the other one?

A little smaller than a Voyager, nice, nice.

Yep, definately looks like they'll be deluxe class. Quite happy about this. I imagine the prices would be considerably higher if they were voyager class. Plus six deluxe figures are still going to make a crazy large Devastator.

I'm not fussed about the tails. They're just like an extra limb, and I think everyone's been in a situation where an extra limb would have been an advantage.

My only worry was back-heavyiness, and that's certainly alleviated!

I hope these guys do a Defensor, Computron or Superion next!

Wow! These things look AWESOME!

I've only just started experimenting with 3rd party products, and pictures like these make me so glad I'm pulling a steady paycheck! That said,I'm just a bit concerned about the price; with 3rd party Scout-sized toys going for $50 I can only imagine how much these will cost. Thing is, if these are released far enough apart (and don't coincide with any other good products)I don't think I'd mind paying more.

And the size; with each piece being at least Deluxe-size, the completed Devastator is going to be HUGE! I can't wait to see the completed monster in-the-plastic!

wolverinetodd wrote:In a previous post I mentioned that FansProject's Munitioner and Explorer both sold for $50.00+ each and they were Scout Class size, but both came with additional guns and parts. With that in mind, if these "not-Constructicons" are Deluxe Class or even Voyager Class, then each one will most likely be $75.00 to $100.00 each, respectively. So when all is said and done and shipping is calculated in, I'll be surprised if this complete set sells for less than $1000.00.

My concern based on green/purple figures picture, I hope the characters don't each come in a different shade of green and purple. I hope all characters share the same shade of neon green and same shade of dark purple.

Regardless, I think this is going to be a sweet set to have and a must-have for the G1 collector, especially those of us that lived it.

I guessed this one right on the price of these figures. With Not-Scavenger (TFClub's Exgraver) now up for pre-order at a few sites, it's listed for just under $100.00. But once shipping is calculated in, you're looking at about $115.00 each.

Looks like Exgraver is all sold out at BBTS! Wonder if they'll get anymore?

I'm wondering if they had very many to start then. With all the complaining, and soreness toward the price, and the reveal of Maketoys version completed proto, I would never have thought that would happen this soon.

All reports have been that the quality is very good though - so maybe that and the size has resulted in a few more sales. Or maybe BBTS didn't want too many as they thought they wouldn't sell too well. Just speculation.

I'm looking forward to checking mine out when it arrives.

Why the surprise over it being sold out? Many people want a huge Devestator and with good reports on the quality and Maketoy's version not at the preorder stage people have decided to jump the gun despite the price.

Looks like they got another 100 in!

Hi,

I just finished repainting my Exgraver, it still needs some touchups here and there, but I am happy with it. At first I was going to weather it and make it look like a real digger, but instead decided to go for a cartoony look that complemented the cartoony design. This figure is really fun, and I cannot wait to see the completed behemoth that will be Hercules.

I plan on mounting two of each of the black guns on the outside of the forearms to cover the coloured treads in combined mode. Not a huge concern with the dark purple of Scavenger, but Bonecrusher's green may need some hiding when that comes out, lol.

That looks great! I really like how the purple breaks up the solid black legs.

Loving the painted gun too. If only they could squeeze in another paint app, but apps cost money :-(

What paints did you use?

I shoved blu tack carefully into all the cavities and over everything I wanted to stay clear, and sprayed it with Games Workshop Chaos Black undercoat. The green paint is a mixture of GW Scorpion Green and Mithril Silver, the black on his chest is Chaos Black with Mithril Silver, and the purple is Liche Purple with Regal Blue and Skull White in. I made up a whole pot of the purple mix, called it 'Constructicon Purple' I put gloss varnish on the Windscreen and hazard light to give them a different finish.
