So hardcore...

I am REALLY liking Devastator so far!! Sure he has problems, but man does he appeal to me! I'm hoping to get the SDCC Version since I prefer that deco, but the regular is still awesome!
Also, I know there are third party hands and feet upgrades for the Combiners, but is there any third party companies planning to make arm and/or foot upgrades for this figure? That'd be nice

Nice poses! And yeah all those Powerglides and that Million Watt spotlighting have really sold it for me.

I would like an upgrade for his hands, but Devy's feet are fine.

My biggest gripe with Devastator is that the individual Constructicons don't have their guns. Seems like for $150 we could have gotten 6 guns to make this a complete set.

Now that looks dope! Definitely worth the price of purchase.

True, veru true. But is it possible they did not include them for fear of being unable to store them well?

Yeah they use the combiner pieces as weapons.

I think he means individual rifles, like how the deluxes come with a weapon and the combiner piece

I know, but if they had rifles, where would the combiner pieces go?

Still can't wait to get him. Whichever version that might be.

Each individual rifle could combiner wars into Devy's larger weapon. I just won the internet!

Until Michael Bay makes a bad movie, make mine Marvel!

Wow, the vehicles look to scale with each other really nicely!

Seems Devastator scales perfectly with Masterpieces.

What? I'm actually being serious here. It would be just like the combiner wars deluxes. Rifles would be nice to include with the combiner kibble weapons

True, true. Would've been nice, but I generally prefer my transformers only holding one weapon at a time.

Hasbro finally found a kid for their photos that doesnt look creepy. He's actually the appropriate age for someone to be "playing" with the figure rather than just displaying it.

The idea is logical. If it works for the other CW stuff then why not the Constructicons?

Not that I'm a big fan of the gestalt pieces being regarded as "weapons" for individual members. I'd rather just set the pieces aside.

Agreed. I appreciate the effort of parts integration but its more often a miss than a hit (this is more towards 3P's though).

Why would you want less weapons?? You realize you can set them to the side if you want, right?

Right? But I can't take the credit though, I found it on Daimchoc.

Wow that kid has got to be the happiest kid in the world!

if they had individual weapons they would attach somewhere in vehicle mode like the original constructicons but when combined i would say they get put aside. why would there weapons need to go anywhere on devastator? he has a big ass gun!

Damn...reminds me of a certain reviewer.... (Not gonna say his name lol)

I vaguely remember posts about Devastator not having posability...

Sweet merciful crap, can he be MORE posable?! (No one answer, I'm aware he could be )

How is it possible to mod the feet? It's been integrated into the robots themselves(Scrapper's arms and Mixmaster's cab).

What about SDCC? Any weapons there?

After seeing all of these teasers and twists from Yuki, I have concluded he is the toy news equivalent of Hideki Kojima or Masahiro Sakurai in his ability to troll us and casually tease huge things.

Not from anything we've seen

What do you think Hasbro is, Takara?

If anyone's thinking it, just because TakaraTomy Devestator is getting individual weapons, doesn't mean their Scrapper will have elbows.

Hasbro doesn't usually strip parts and accessories though. I can only think of two examples in the past 10 or 15 years where that's happened ... Universe Hot Shot (Henkei Hot Rod had the missiles and launchers) and Alternators Windcharger (Binaltech Overdrive had the gun).

Holy flashbacks Batman! If I remember correctly Hasbro legally could not release Windcharger with the gun due to the licensing agreement.

By the way, this happy little thread has gone to 100 pages. I feel oddly proud for some reason.

Just being "sarcastic jerk" chuck and not addressed to you (or Ryan) at all but weapon stripping? Henkei and Alternators not owning a weapon? Related to the thread as in comparing the domestic release Devs has no weapons included while the TT set has them included? Isn't this blurring the lines between two different threads?

Now seriously. Could cost concerns or safety concerns be the issue? Maybe Hasbro is afraid some stoopid kid would swallow the guns and the equally id10tic parents will sue the pants off Hasbro?

Either way, this is icing on the cake when choosing Devs.

That's a very good question but kinda hard to answer now since we only have one pic of the weapons and nothing to compare their size to, yet.

What if it isn't stripping, but TakaraTomy adding them to the base toy instead?

Is this the Hasbro version with the guns? Don't get me wrong, I think the guns are a nice touch, but I wouldn't cry if they didn't come with them.

Silly, this time it IS for you:
