To be honest this looks better than the CrazyDevy Version plus this is a set of add on parts, the way I always wanted CrazyDevy to release it. Hopefully the quality of the parts is good as well. But no matter it's always a good show.

Okay, the price is in an acceptable range, around US$ 20.00+,but is the quality up to par?
No wonder those jokers at CrazyDevy lowered their price.........simply too greedy
to get their bottom line too fast(I mean they could have also sold the parts as a set like this group)

I think the latter is due to the legs being to long well the thighs anyway, or because the Main body (Long Haul and Hook) Is short due to the original proportions. But think for a "sort-of KO but not really" of Devy for 20 dollars I think it's alright.

Totally buying two at that price. One for my G1 Devastator, and another for the G2 build. Junkion Blacksmith is quickly becoming a favorite company.

Judging by the Predaking set, it's going to be on par with the original G1 toy quality.
I have to say, this looks really, really good. Almost makes me want a G1 Devastator.

So glad to see this set, as I can now pass on the XTransbots version of these parts. That is not a 3rd party company I care to do buisness with again.

If you don't mind me asking, why not?
Also liking the look of this set myself, especially since the shield seems to be in just the right spot compared to the other two upgrade sets.

RE: Kung Fu Man
Mainly because of their low standards of quality. My X1 Glider 'not powerglide' had several QC issues and I've come to learn that these were shared by many others (large gaps, 2 right arms, etc...) It was also brought to my attention that XTransbots does not create their own goods, rather they 'copy' other existing 3rd party prodocts and re-sell them as their own. (a bit of a weak argument since 3rd party products already infinge on intelectual property, but apt nonetheless)

Interesting. Would have gotten either one of the upcoming Devy upgrades for the articulated hips/thighs but something just don't seem right with this version. Thighs are too long? Hmmm...But at this price, no harm getting one to fiddle with.
Clobbered together a comparison pic of the 3 upgrade kits:
JB Vs CD (the pic doesn't show the complete set though) Vs XTB (Sorry if you have to squint. The XTB pic I had was very low res)
It would seem JB's rifle's still kinda short. In fact, it looks more liks a pistol

Thanks for the comparison images. X-Transbots cancelled, will wait for JB-07.

This set looks reall good and I think the animation model head looks excellent. But, I do agree that the proportions looks off.

First: Nice comparison pic, tnx.
I love the left one's anime head the best as well as the arms/chestplate.
But the center one has the waist/upperlegs I prefer.
If only they make that anime head for TFC Hercules, of course a little more detailed but the head they have now doesn't scream Devastator to me.
I'm a fan of the animation model

I've already got a set of CrazyDevy parts for my G1 Dev so I don't really need this, but this looks pretty nice (especially for the price), though I will agree the thighs are a bit too long for my liking.
The heads are especially nice.

So wanting a yellow set for my Eurostator. The Euro/Australian constructicons never had the parts back in the day. 
And if JB follows through my robbed inner child can rejoice!!
Also woiuld be awesome if they made a connector for the hook figure to join with bonecrusher... Euro Devi was robbed of that too

Wait, there's a third upgrade set coming out? I just thought it was JBS's upgrade set when I first glanced at it. this is one seriousDevy loveathon we're going through here.

Actually the Devy in the middle doesn't have the Crazy Devy chest armor and forearms.noctorro wrote:I love the left one's anime head the best as well as the arms/chestplate.

Yes I mentioned that in my post. Still searching for the forearms and have the chest wings on hand but didn't put that on as it comes without stickers. Too bland for me.
