Transformers Combiner WarsDevastator: In-Hand Pics Galore

The individual bots look bloody fantastic and I think have more articulation than people were expecting. Yeah, Scrapper has no elbows, but as I said from the start, and looking at him from behind, it's purely for stability issues.

Honestly, I think the designers have done a fantastic job. Combined mode is awesome, and the individual bots look great as well.

Awe gworsh 'jaki, that shoar is one neet lookin' robits.


Really, I don't know what there is to complain about. He looks pretty dope to me.
I mean c'mon,look at him with those MPs. Fantastic!

One thing that looks aweful on this Devy is the way the Boncrusher/Scavenger treads hang down under his armpits like weird tumors. The G1 vintage toy had them raised high to form tall shoulders. And in the cartoon they were always centered or hidden quite well..

His butt flap isn't any where near as sexy as Ultra Magnuses.

Is anyone's?

You show me yours and I'll show you mine.

Oh ... and you wanted complaints, you got the resident complainer. Well done, I hope you're happy with yourself.

The only articulation missing on the individual bots is Scrapper's elbows. Other than that Hook and Mixmaster have oddly proportioned arms, but for Generations figures that do what they do they indeed look awesome. Scrapper's elbows are probably a mix of stability vs parts cost. Stable ratcheted elbows with a lock system would solve the stability for example, but for a retail generations release that would be nixed by Hasbro for cost reasons.
To a degree, they look like simplified MP figures. Knowing Hasui designed these makes me believe they essentially are.
It's a shame production costs prevent us from getting hefty, solid figures for a nice price. CW leaders costing £50 when back in the day you could get Cybertron OP for £30-£40 is a crying shame when you think he is heavy, detailed, plenty of play value and combining options and carries electronics whilst CW leaders are hollow and just feel (and look) cheaper.
This is still an accomplishment though. Anyone with any gripes on this Devy should bemoan cost issues, not the design. The design in this whole package is awesome!

Scroll down to see all the shots, and stay tuned to Seibertron.com for all your Transformers News!

OMG SCAVENGER AND BONECRUSHER LOOK SO AWESOME! Scavenger will definitely be my fave!

Oh yeah and combined mode is cool too lol.

The Toy Fair pics showed the indy bots wielding them as blasters. So to answer your question... yes, kibble, but with a function.

meh, I'd rather pointless kibble rather than big hunks of plastic wielded by individual robots.

You have my blessing if you prefer to set them aside.

Why thank you good sir. Now I may sleep easier at night! You have no idea how uninterrupted my sleeping patterns have been, many nights spending wondering "how am I ever going to display the individual constructicons without their plastic kibble without upsetting Cobotron".

Now all I need is for Rated X's approval to use Alpha Brave in Superion when I get the United Warriors version!

See! You're funny when you want to be Burn!

But yeah, I'm planning on using the extra hand bits as weapons, I have a REALLY HARD TIME throwing pieces to the side, that's just my opinion. Peace!
