Yup. Very much. Just like Megs and Soundwave.

I held one of the Constructicons in my hand yesterday. They are freakin' huge!
And imho more like a kid's toy than a collector's figure. Unless you happen to collect really big things, I suppose.

Am I the only one who thinks that Devastator being bigger than the other combiners is s cool revamp to his character and makes him seem even more awesome?

In the IDW comics they're still the same size there abouts, definitely not a difference in height like that picture.

Add me to the list of those that likes Devastator much biggen than the rest.
The way I'm having my Combiners displayed is to have Superion vs Menasor and Defensor vs Bruticus. Then on a seperate shelf I'm going to have Devestator embroiled in an epic battle against my Third Party Dinobots.

Me third or fourth this. Given how the real life construction vehicle reference images posted here in the thread, not surprised as all. Did you guys see how a "Scrapper" type vehicle can fit 20+ people in its shovel doohickey? A fighter plane's cockpit can just fit a maximum of 2 in it's cockpit.
Though really, people so uppity about Dev's size but no one complains about how Megs and Soundwave can "mass shift" in the cartoon?
Its fiction guys. A bit of suspended belief is a given when we got into the Transformer mythos.
Now activating "jerk" mode.........hows about anyone complain about the hollow arms of the limbbots in Superion? Or have I been living under a rock and just missed the complaints?
"Jerk mode" off

Add me to the list that isn't bothered by Devy's size in relation to the other combiners.
I also agree with your point that scale just can't be that big of a deal for people...
A figure being good in and of itself should completely trump how tall or short it is next to other figures.
I still can't believe that not more people are complaining about the Autobot car figures in this line. Wheeljack imo is by far the best, and actually does compete with the previous version.
I'm glad people are complaining... Just surprised, because those figures are completing underwhelming for me, and I don't feel like I have crazy unrealistic standards.

Will Wheeljack have shoulder/back wings? If not, then sorry, but the other Classics version still wins, hands down. 
Re: Takara Transformers Unite Warriors UW-04 Devastator size comparison with Superion

That's a good point imo. Those types of details are what make the previous releases of these G1 characters so good.
IF I needed/wanted a G1 Smokescreen in my collection, I wouldn't want him to only be a leg of a combiner...
Yet, as an individual, he's not G1 enough for me in form, color distribution, or details such as the door "wings" and shoulder canons.
I totally get why Hasbro made these new incarnations... It makes sense.
And if it helps the line as a whole, that's cool with me.

Yeah. I do like the new figures. I like some of the re-imagining. But, like you say, some of the details that define those characters would be sorely missing. I don't think any of these will replace my Classics versions. But I will still enjoy fiddling with the CW versions when I get them.

CW Wheeljack is not alone in the "no back wings" department:
To name a few.

Technically then this won't be the first wheeljack to combine either

If you consider Powerlinking combining
What are the chances of TakaraTomy releasing Sky Reign?

Oh, indeed, and that Downshift figure was my Classics Wheeljack, and an awesome figure, until Classics/Generations Wheeljack came out.
