Transformers Generations Devastator on preorder at Toysrus.ca

I was so close to snatching one. But I had remind myself to wait for SDCC's or TT's.
Patience shajaki....

Pre-order at TRU, eh? Let the clamoring begin...

Must resist. Already have Hercules.

But so big and pretty.

Me too! But it would be Takara. The added weapons and prefered headsculpt as well as the probable greater ease in getting him takes the sdcc version out of the equation for me.

I wonder if any IDW completists will also pick up Roadblock to repurpose back into Scoop.

So glad they put a "2 per person" on it.
Hope they do that in the states.
Go get'em Northies!

this might be a dumb question but since im in the states, can i order it from the CA toys r us site?

Unfortunately not. You guys have to wait for your dot com's to list em, and we have to wait for our dot ca's. For brick and mortar anyways.

Oh, and WELCOME!!

Oh how I want stick my 15 year old fingers into this figure! It looks even better in the photos than in the photoshoped pictures that first came out. Definitely a must have for me.

I know I've said this before, but I really hope, to combine with Devy, we get a 3rd party set of: Prowl as a torso, Hook as a leg, and maybe some better arms for the individual robots.

Or even if we just get better arms and combiner bits, that would be nice. I would MUCH RATHER the combiner bits to actually transform into normal looking weapons, than those Constructicons just holding the combiner pieces like idiots.

Devastator is for preorder at:

And others, but they are sold out.

I like transforming it from vehicle mode, and it being kind of a mystery of how big robot mode is. I also don't like it already in combined mode, because I want to have the experience of combining them for the first time.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I agree that figures boxed in vehicle mode makes for a more fun experience, but that SDCC packaging is pretty cool.

So we currently don't know what Takara's Devs will look right? And the major difference between SDCC and retail is the slight difference in green paint and the shiny purple yes?

No, each individual constructicon has a ton more paint apps. And the headsculpt is different. It is not the version with the shades, he has individual eyes in the SDCC version (which I like less, personally).

The shade of green is the plastic color, not paint. The OTHER details are paint.

So when is this getting released in the US?

Also, there's no difference in the shade of green between U.S. Retail and SDCC. That's just Hasbro's bad and inconsistent product photography at play.

Here's a photo of SDCC Devastator in-box without Hasbro's bad retouching:



And here's a photo of the retail edition from Amazon:

It should be the same time, August. That's what has been said as a release window from the start.

Then again, I would have said the same thing about MP Bluestreak but for some reason TRU doesnt have him in the states yet.

I will wait what Takara looks like before jumping at hasbro version if Takara have less chrome and visor on face it may be buy if it looks good in detail added weapons nothing for me where put them in combined and vehicale modes

Yeah I like Devy with shades too.

Yup, I'm getting antsy waiting to see TakTom's Devy so I know what to expect before deciding on which version to get. Right now the SDCC version blows the retail version out of the water, but if the Unite version does indeed have some remolded bits like was teased, then that one will be the one for me.

Hopefully we'll know in the next couple of days.

I'm getting the Hasbro version. It's good enough.

What remolded bits were teased? I must have missed that?

phantom1592 wrote:What remolded bits were teased? I must have missed that?

Yeah I was wondering the same thing.

phantom1592 wrote:What remolded bits were teased? I must have missed that?

None, that's just them speculating. The only true mold difference are:

- the SDCC one has the toy-inspired head, without the visor
- the Unite Warriors one is teased to have guns for the individual Constructicons.

I have a hard time scrapping together the cash for something this big, but I really want it. So I've been looking at the Hasbro release. It's a good price for what we get. A bit spendy, but worth it.

However, I really do like the added paint apps for SDCC... but not sure I want to go SDCC prices...

And now Takara is offering extra guns. I hate the idea that there are guns out there but I wouldn't have them...

Lot of things trying to push me toward the non-Hasbro ones... but the added mystery cost is still a major issue. If we're talking an extra $30... then maybe. If they tack on $100 then I'll paint my own Apps...

REALLY wish we had some more news... Help to make some decisions.

I wonder if the UW Devy will have purple hands.

SillySpringer wrote:I wonder if the UW Devy will have purple hands.

Highly likely like Encore 20A

So who's the news team covering the TT announcement in Japan on Saturday regarding Devastator?! And anything else that comes from their presentation

phantom1592 wrote:What remolded bits were teased? I must have missed that?

The Unite Warriors teaser silhouette looks to have Scrapper with a bent elbow. The Hasbro version of course has none, but with TakTom having gone as far as making a new mold for their Defensor, it's speculated they did some remolding of their version of Devastator and at the very least gave Scrapper elbows.

As it stands, TakTom's version has G1 guns for the individual bots, whereas Hasbro's doesn't.

yeah... the guns are a major selling point for me.

Which is weird since I REALLY don't expect to have him separated into the individual bots very often.

Still, I want them!! >.<

I rarely combine my figs and display them in their individual bot mode, so posability is a must for me with those guys.

The head still looks good. I look forward to getting the Comic Con version at the convention soon

i hope you are right but..... i was thinking it looked more like the wrists were bent in as if scrapper were about to bump fists with himself. the angle and the fact that it is a silhouette make it seem like elbows are present. either way, just having guns makes takara's better and i'm positive that it will have better paint apps. but how much more will it cost us.....

Yeah, I'm in no way saying there IS remolding done, just that the teaser pic plus the fact they made a whole new component for their Defensor doesn't rule the possibility of remolding out.

The Toy Dojo was walking around Botcon today and spied a display of the SDCC Exclusive Combiner Wars Devastator at the Hasbro booth! This shiny green behemoth will be available of course at the San Diego Comic-Con July 9th to 12th. See him displayed below, and stay tuned to Seibertron.com: home for the best Galleries and Conversation around!

Hey look.. Green garbage.

I think this is in the wrong section, I believe it was meant for the fisher price display.. Right?

And with that face on the back, his box doubles as an homage to the Ohmeg Xt'Tapalatakettle head in your basement!

Course, the only question big enough to match a box of that size is:
Any sign of six extra guns in with him?

Are thre images of the individual Constructicons?

A toy for kids. That's what it is

MaverickPrime wrote:Are thre images of the individual Constructicons?

Are you ok with stock images instead of in hand pics? Because there are a ton here.

Here<s a quick one of all of them in one frame:



Also, I hope no one hates me too much but I actually do not like the chrome. Since just some of the purple is chrome, it looks kinda weird. I didnt care too much about Leader Jetfire's Chrome because it was optional (you could remove the guns) and all the chromed pieces were the same red pieces, fitting uniformly on the figure. But some people didnt like it, and now I kinda get it because here it totally distracts from the rest of the figure and gives an uneven look. The paint apps are better, sure, but the adding of chrome takes away any G1 show accuracy and instead gives us something that doesnt really jive well all together. Just my opinion and a reason to not have to splurge on this toy.

Also, the headsculpt is not the head I associate with Devastator but thats a personal thing.

Oh you know what I mean bro' That Titan size is just what the doctor has ordered to go with my Voyager size G1 figs. It's just some people who just are ostinate about it.

I look at the picture you responded to and I honestly do not see anything meriting that kind of a comment. Yes, CW Devy has flaws, but he's impressively articulated for a figure his size and what problems there are do not subtract from his impressiveness. They especially do not deserve to be hated upon at every turn.

Tim is an attention seeker. It's best to ignore him.

He looks really nice. I have noticed that on the stock images the tracks are painted on the outside for Bonecrusher and Scavenger, yet at Botcon ony one has the outer side of the tracks painted green.

Perhaps because scavenger's treads should be purple?

They are painted but the purple and black is hard to see in the less than favorable lighting.

The chrome used here doesn't actually bother me that much but I was expecting just a little bit more from the sdcc exclusives. Like last year's knights of unicron figures... (okay some didn't like them but I loved the theme and the ideas behind it)

No, it's best to address the fact that a great many of the images that we have seen of this thing do, in all honesty, make the combined figure look like a Fisher Price toy. I hate to say it but right from the start that was the exact impression that I got of this thing too and I still hold to that opinion of it even after all of the pictures that have come out since the initial release of this thing. This behemoth is a straight-up Playskool combiner. It may look different once it's actually in a persons hands but if I have to go by pictures, it will never end up in my hands so I fail to see how you can be so dismissive of his viewpoint since obviously he isn't the only one seeing it. I'm not saying that people shouldn't buy it, that's up to the individual and they have every right. I'm just saying that TimR has a right to his opinion and that he's not the only one who shares it and that your dismissal of him as basically being an "attention whore" is b.s.
