That is not all! Obsidian was also kind enough to post Devastator's bio. Here is is:
"I hate anything shorter than me. And most taller things too." The incredible power of CONSTRUCTICON DEVASTATOR is rooted in the combination of five DECEPTICON warriors, but he is somewhat limited by their minds all competing for full control over his massive body. BONECRUSHER is a chaotic madman who lives to destroy, while LONG HAUL is a brooding genius with a talent for constructing the vast energy collection engines that supply the DECEPTICONS with power. HIGHTOWER is a chemistry lab on wheels whose passion for poisons and explosives is surpassed only by his dislike of his teammates. His polar opposite is SCAVENGER, who has an instinct for detecting valuable fuels and minerals, but is desperate for the approval and friendship of his fellow CONSTRUCTICONS. Finally there is DECEPTICON SCRAPPER, a quiet psycho whose first love is building monuments to his enemies -- out of their destroyed chassis."
Do not forget to post all of your sightings in the SEIBERTRON.com Sightings Section!
More Bots. More News. More Awesome.

Oh look, construction-vehicle Transformers that have been repainted into bright green and labelled with Constructicon names... we've never seen that before... Not to mention that the original Energon molds were, for the most part, already paint in Constructicon colours.

I have the Energon version, and yes I like it, but I don't think it warrants a new purchase, just for some color alterations.
Yes I would have the ability to make 2 Devastators 1 solely out of Shovels. and 1 solely out of Cranes, but is that really worth $29.76 I don't think so. Although he would look very symmetrical.

I like it. I skipped the first ver due to the terrible translucent plastic weaponary.
This on the other hand is nice.
Good bio too.

I agree. One of the reasons I am going to pick this up is the lack of translucent plastic weaponary. I like the solid purple.

Exactly. I honestly don't see what's so 'cool' and 'rad' about translucent plastic. Give me solid colour any day. In fact, give me die-cast anyday. One Titanium Rodimus is worth 5 plastic Hotrods to me.

I think this repaint actually looks better than the original. Plus i just want 100% of the classics

That is one of the reasons I never picked them up originally.

Those purple bits are transparent too. They just seem to be a hazy/smoky transparent.

Exactly exactly. And yes, I too am going for the 100% Classics. This is the first line since Alts where I'm buying all of them. Not including Minicons or LoC figures. Cos they suck, and are in no way Classic.
Come on Hasbro, where are our Classics Soundwave and Blaster figures! And I think it's about time Springer got a redo.

You got the closest you're gonna get to Classics Soundwave with the reissue and Titanium. Blaster most likely won't happen and Springer got an homage in Energon as Bulkhead.

An insult to Devestator. To each their own, but I wish the fandom wouldn't support repaints so much.

You are indeed correct. However, I do like the purple more then the blue.

Call me smacktarded, but I would have preferred a non-separating highly-detailed accurate figure of Devastator over these figures.

Well wow let just say this isn't a true set of classic transformers and leave it at that. I really hope that after the movie they do a really set of classic constructicons and not some lame repaint.

I am eagerly anticipating purchasing this figure- I have no Constructicon Maximus and prefer these colors.
It's a shame Hook was omitted, however.

It's such a shame Hasbro are willing to cut corners. Classics could really have been the best transformer line ever. To be expected I guess...
