Yeah, I think I'm going to just stick w/ the Hasbro version and pass on the SDCC. Now that I've seen them next to each other, I personally think the Hasbro one looks much, much better.

$149.99 isn't a bad price for Devastator. I thought his retail cost would be around $300 - $400.
You can say that again.
That's our Burn!

I honestly don't like the metallic purple; I prefer the old-school purple. As for the details, Reprolabels will take care of that.
What's with the elbows/forearms in that picture where they're side by side? Are the elbows just rotated differently?

As anyone can guess from a quick look at my avatar, I prefer my Devys to be rockin' the shades. Combine (get it?) that fact with the inconsistently placed chrome purple on the SDCC version, and it's a very easy pass for me. Mind you, if I can get Unite Warriors Devy, then Hasbro's is an easy pass, too...

I can get the best of both figures, and more, from Takara's Devastator.

SDCC head is wrong imo.
he doesnt have the visor, and he looks like a diff character.
I like the hasbro version, but im waiting for takara's personally.

"Correct" is a matter of interpretation:
The TakaraTomy version has the visor head.
EDIT: Primus slag it, Sabrblade!

Two things I wish that Takara Tomy had carried over to their version from the SDCC version is the extra purple where the legs meet the hips (cartoon accurate) and the hashmark caution stickers mimicking the G1 toys.
If Hasbro was going for an "ultimate G1" deco with their SDCC version, I don't know why in God's name Hasbro opted to vac-metal some of the purple parts instead of the silver parts. Nobody likes the pink metal business; at best, some people are tolerating it to get the extra decals and paint apps the SDCC version additionally offers.

The retail version has just started hitting the market in Australia, the US, and online at ToysRus.com, while the shiny exclusive version will be available at San Diego Comic-Con July 8th to 12th. All that's left to see is TakaraTomy's Unite Warriors rendition, but there's no release date slated yet. See the Hasbro pair below, and stay tuned to Seibertron.com: home for the best Galleries and Conversation around!

well he has been drawn differently time to time in the g1 show, but i personally feel the head isnt as good as homage as hasbro's. To each their own as they say.

I always did wonder why Devastator only had that head for that ONE scene. Obviously they whipped up that episode while Devastator was still being worked on. The basics are there, just not 'finished'. (In the episode, Scrapper called Scavenger 'Scrounge' instead of Scavenger, so they must also have been confused about the names)
But I'm looking forward to Titan Trypticon - I had G1 Trypticon back in the day....

That head is still wrong then since they didnt even paint the top silver, so now that SDCC version represents no interpretation of the character
While Takara's represents both simultaneously.

Aiming to head up this afternoon after work. So if everything goes according to plan (and me being the Negatron that I am, expect something to go wrong), I should have him in about 12 hours.
And I don't live in the desert you git.
