This looks to be perhaps the easiest combiner transformation in terms of switching from individual bots to the gestalt form yet. Is it the cost of plastic driving the price up to $100 USD? Or did Hasbro waste a lot of money on the R&D trying to design viable limb, vehicle, and bot modes for each Constructicon in the set before scrapping the idea in favor of vehicle to limb transformations only? I can't think of any other justification for this figure being so much more expensive than any other supreme class Transformer.

Oh my god, what happened to the scaling? Why is Mixmaster so big and Longhaul so small.
I can see myself buying this at half the price.....maybe. It's just miles too simple, most of the movie deluxes are more complex and have more detail.

what a POS for a hundred bucks I expect some effort. I would have wanted rubber treads, paint apps and actual gimmicks for the individual parts. It may be movie accurate by not having bot modes but hasbro should have then focused on the alt modes more. I might still buy it cause afterall, it's Devi and the vortex gimmick is kinda cool but I would pay at most $40 for it.

I was thinking the same thing, especially at the end when he had them all lined up. The scaling is horribly off.

very underwhelming. Considering the price and the fact that they scrapped the individual bots, they should have been able to make the figure more awe inspiring.
I suppose there is still hope that I will fall in love when I actually see the figure, but it is getting more and more unlikely.

The more I see of this toy, the less I like it. He just doesn't look like something I would have fun with, and his toy proportions don't work for me either. Very, very top heavy. Does he, perchance, look better in a leaning forward and crouched position (more akin to how he moves onscreen in RotF?).
For the price point they are asking, I think that more paint applications would be nice.
All in all, I think I'm gonna go with the Takara EZ Collection Devastator (each vehicle can form a robot and be part of Devastator and, multiple people agree with me here, overall the Devastator mode looks better).
I do, however, like how tight he seems. Very loud clicks. Satisfying sound, IMO. Unsatisfying, however, are Mixmaster's inane amount of noises made with so little effort. He needs his batteries removed.
Each individual vehicle, however, looks insanely BORING to transform. What a shame.

Agreed.
I do, however, see this being a shelfwarmer and getting clearanced, so you very well might be able to pick it up for 40$ down the line.

Ok, Devastator looks cool and the construction vehicles look cool, BUT......each vehicle should have it's own individual robot mode like Devastator originally had. IMO, I think of Vehicle Voltron, those tiny vehicles that combined to form Voltron, when I see this. It does look considerably better than Voltron though.

Great review but i don't like this set at all. Hardly no detail in the individual components, no robot modes either. Then on top of that the scale between each of these is way off. The arm and leg components are too small, the head component is too big. Scavenger is pretty darn big, wish the Voyager Demolishor was actually made in that scale with electronics that would rock.
Now that i think of it why didn't Hasbro make us a decent combiner. Leader classes of Mixmaster and Scavenger/Demolishor and Voyagers of the others. Scrap the shitty third modes and it could've been done. Ok maybe you would've had a slightly compromised Devastator but it would be better than this Fisher Price waste of plastic.
Epic fail.

C'mon buddy. First off... the Robots that combine to form Devastator DO NOT have individual robot modes. Let's just say he has 7 different personalities. If Hasbro wanted to make 'a decent combiner', then they would. But they wouldn't make individual robot modes for these because it's just not what they were.
Secondly, you wanted the components to be bigger? Take into consideration the price now... $110? With the increased size, this figure will have no stability, the components will probably not stick together due to gravity, and you're looking at an over $200 market price, something any collector, RoTFan, and toddler's mom is not going to buy.

after finally seeing the movie, this whole "non robot mode" thing actually makes sense now. because in the movie, we never see anyone transform into the vehicles and them combine. the vehicles are all just sitting around and seem to get sucked together and form Devastator. and then while he's busy climbing the pyramid, we see some of the Constructicons in robot mode being involved in the attack on the soldiers and the kids.
so it makes it seem that just like the toys, there are two sets of Constructitcons. one set thats just vehicles and one set that becomes robots.

When I first heared this toy was going to be released, I was ready to camp out at my local Toys R Us. However after this review I will not be picking this beast up (at least not for the initial price). The combined robot looks kinda cool but thats where the WOW factor ends for me. Here are my issues with this toy.
1. The lack of detail for each vehicle is inexcusable. Really, how much would a little extra paint drive up the cost?
2. As everyone else has stated, the scaling is way off and just too wired for vehicles who are supposed to be a team. I know Scavenger is supposed to be the biggest, but wasn't Longhaul a beast in the movie as well?
3. I just cannot get over the cheap plastic look of this set. I think labeling this Tonka is a compliment. I'm thinking more Fisher Price.
4. Finally, wasn't Devi supposed to be the biggest and baddest mofo in the world? Well being only a few inches taller than Prime just doesn't give me that feel for a bad dude such as Devi. Also was it just me or was Devi in the movie kind of a let down? I was expecting him to do some serious a$$ kicking.

Huh... wait.
So doesn't this make him a movie "inaccurate" Devs?
the 7 nontransforming elements are the ones that form Devs in the movie, right?
and the OTHER 6 constructicon team is doing battle, and we never see an Overload "clone" right?
(i saw Scrapper, Mixmaster, Longhaul, Rampage.. it seems hightower was there
when the constructicons descend into the trench to revive megatron, you get a closeup of his
crane?...
Demolishor got killed at the beginning...)
So shouldn't it have included the overload component?
...also... who is "the little one" that serves as parts for Megs?

Someone who visited the factory or something.
As for him being much taller... well it depends whether you measure height by where the top of the head is or where the top of his hump is.
Why do all the pics of this toy have him as a biped when in the film he is a quadroped?
For the price the transformations really ought to be more complex - they're easy by G1 standards and they've made very little attempt to match the CGI, which doesn't look like a pile of vehicles. They should have made more effort to integrate the vehicles of the body.

yup and Prime is still taller, i look at their eyes for height not the top of head.
unless he can stand with his legs extended then i guess he's taller than prime but only for a little.
Isn't there a bigger version of Devastator that will be available in 2010?????

Isn't there a bigger version of Devastator that will be available in 2010?????

Why would you go to their eyes for height? I doubt there will be a bigger one in 2010 or whatever, unless you want to pay triple the price, which I'm sure you won't.

Great review, but not-so-great toy. Pass.

I'm sticking with my "YESSSS!!!" But first...
WHAT!? YOU SERIOUS??? And over there halfway across the world the US fans are complaining about deluxes going $10 to $15 or so when we got to fork out RM60 for 'em (roughly $2 more according to current conversion rates)... Pah, stop complaining already about rising prices, you guys still have it cheaper. So, back to the topic: where did you get this price from? Don't quote eBay prices, I think them sellers have as much of an idea on the retail price at this moment just as much as we do. That is to say, not much at all.
Eh, well, big deal for me, I gots me some black, silver and gold marker pens, some dabbing in spots where my fingers can't reach and he'll be looking miles better (cheap methods that work without having to buy heavy-duty testors or tamiya paint...yesss...)
You can always either: 1)Ignore the noisy fella 2)Wear ear plugs or 3)Yank out the batteries
Don't need 'im. I have seen him in the movie, killing my notion that he merely exists in the EZ Devastator as back structural support for the legends combiner, but personally, I don't really think he's necessary. Too many chefs(combining limbs?) spoil the broth(combiner?). Besides, I'd like to have Devastator's number of components as 6, the same number as that on G1 Devastator. Definitely passing the legends version.
*shrugs shoulders* Oh well. Like I said, big deal for me. I'm already happy and impressed with the excellently-done non-combining members (Demolishor, Rampage and Mixmaster are stuck on the top of my shelf with Long Haul joining them soon, waiting for pictures of the other 3 to surface).

1st off, excellent review.. great job, top notch.
on another note..
What a colossal Hunk of Plastic Junk!!
besides the obvious gimmick of the head, the constructicons are less detailed then expected, colors are totally without deviation on the individual bots.. and overall, it looks like a toy for 5 year old to play with..Not anywhere near as well thought out or planned like the HA bumblebee..
I'd be embarrassed to even display Optimus Leader class with that piece of utter crap..
I'd buy it anyways, but only on clearance.. and even then it'd have to be when I'm just desperate for a new bot...
On a side note:
Hasbro has been really kinda missing the boat with these Supreme Class figures to tie in on the movie..
I mean Ultimate BumbleBee ( too expensive, cheesy, and stupidly ridiculous..)
And yes, for the record, I know Ultimate bumblebee is not a supreme class fig..Damn Know it alls!
then devastator.. what a joke.. maybe they will redeem themselves in transformers 3? who knows..??
Still no sign of Leader Starscream, Blackout, and or a leader version of any other well liked bot..
what a shame..tisk, tisk..
they have a limited window to cash in to the mass appeal.. and squander it with something like this..

I've seen the film twice and he looked pretty damned red to me in Shanghai.

He's white with a red stripe. What is red on his toy should be white, and he should have a red stripe on each of his shoulders.NuclearConvoy wrote:Sabrblade wrote:And he's not one of them either. Scavenger =/= Demolishor. Demolishor is white. Only his toy is red.
