Pros
It's a huge Devastator.
They're green.
TFC did replace Scavanger's shovel for free.
Cons
The price.
Not in scale with Classics
No cartoon homage except for Scrapper.
And the big question - How will Devastator hold together once he is assembled?

I imagine I can do something about it when I get mine, but in that picture, I do not like the look.

They seem to be the same wings as on Devestator's chest shield, so they're probably removable.

They are...they've shown pics without.

With you all the way on this. I'd add as a con that the combined Devsatator looks very Soul of Chogokin-not a good match for Classics figures, especially since the separate figures look very G1.
And based on how long my TFC GoW2 gun welds held together, I'm still afraid of their long term durability (mainly the connection points).

they seem roughly deluxes to me.

They're approximately Voyager size.

I think these are a great match for the classics line. I mean each one is almost the same size as Prime. I mean in real life these things would be larger than a Tractor Trailer Truck. Also The comined form is going to be huge. Sure the actual scale should be a little larger if you want it in scale. But look at G1, the original devestator was tiny. Also the actual classics devestator is crap.

Voyager sized. Scavenger is about the size of Classics Prime.

I think this guy will suffice as a classics Devy but I think the individual bots are a little blocky to match the Classics aesthetics.

When I get my house back in shape, I will be trying to put some of these individually on the shelf as Classics. I think they can fit, but 'my classics' may not look like 'your classics'. I have pieces from ROTF in it, as well as UNIVERSE, CLASSICSs, UNITED, HENKEI. But I may not be as particular as some folks. I mean if you have an Animated Arcee in there, or an Armada Tidalwave, you can stick this in there.

A very valid point. I have a few cybertron repaints thrown in there. They are pretty blocky as well.

It was meant more as a set of complete opposites that some might find places in their CHUGS collection for.

I really dont want to miss out on Exgraver and Heavylabor. Should I switch my pre order to TF Source or keep it at BBTS. I have never dealt with either one.
probably just keep your bbts order and be patient. they probably will both get them at or around the same time, and im sure TFC will be producing these for a little while, at least until 4 of them are out by my guess (whatever thats worth)

Anyone that has a pic of Michael Jackson and a Chimp in their signature section, their word has to be worth something. I just want to make sure I dont pay second market prices because in two years, heck even a year. You think 100 dollars a figure is expensive. I could see them hitting 200 a figure easily at some point. Heck I have seen in hand Exgravers sell for 150 on EBay already.
