Super 7 will have a reveal today for 6 new figures and this will probably be one of them. Found through Diamond by Crazybarkz, we have our first good look at what appears to be Diaclone Devastator. What makes him Diaclone as opposed to G2 is the fact that not all Constructicons are yellow. We have an image of the artwork for the original Diaclone figure for you to compare.

The other reveals we should get later are
Rumble (red)
Ghost of Starscream
Grimlock Metallic
Arcee (prototype)
Optimus Prime (Nucleon Quest Special Mission)

I wonder if metallic Grimlock is the exclusive that BBTS is revealing tomorrow.

Almost definitely just another batch of the SDCC one that's been out for months.

I'm still gonna activate wishful thinking and hope for turquoise G2 (it won't be)

Despite Proto G1 Arcee getting the Missing Link treatment, I'm down for a small ReAction figure of her on card.

Someday I'd really wish to see the Diaclone Constructicons being officially integrated within the Transformers' franchise. I'd even stick to past incarnations of the Constructicons, back from the day when they were BFF with Omega Supreme... although that would kind of make pointless Load Hauler's color scheme. So having some "Constructibots" would definitely be better (and they could be used to introduce G1 counterparts of characters such as RiD's Wedge, Hightower and Heavy Load).

Turns out we were both right and wrong at the same time. It's both the Metallic Grimlock and SDCC Prototype Unicron, but in G1 style boxes.

All through October Big Bad Toy Store has been celebrating their 25th anniversary with a month of weekly exclusives ending on the 25th. There have been silhouettes teasing some obvious Super7 ReAction figures for today in the even more obvious shapes of Unicron and Grimlock on the site all month. The reveal is at once disappointing and intriguing.

Grimlock is the same metallic Grimlock that was revealed this week as part of the regular retail line while Unicron is the same figure released at this past SDCC. The catch here is that both figures come in G1 style boxes that look pretty nice compared the usual card backs. Grimlock is $25 and Unicron is $30, both are available right now. It is kinda cute that they think if Unicron was released in 1986 he'd come in a window box.

Also, following up with the previous story on new ReAction figures we now have pictures to go with the listing.

Rumble (red)
Ghost of Starscream
Grimlock (metallic)
Arcee (prototype)
Optimus Prime (Nucleon Quest Special Mission)
Ultra Magnus

Prototype Arcee is just a repaint of the normal Arcee.

I'm sure this does seem like a slightly dickish reveal to ReAction completists, but I've only ever collected a handful or 2 that I find interesting, and missed out on a few I really wanted, so I'm cool with this.

"BBTS Exclusive" and they're the same toys in the same boxes that were sold at this year's SDCC and afterwards on Super7's own web store :???:

What the heck is Nucleon Quest Optimus Prime? How is that not just Nemesis?

Nucleon Quest Optimus Prime was a Japanese-exclusive black repaint of Super Ginrai. Yes, it really was named Optimus Prime 20-odd years ago. The colors aren't the same as Nemesis Prime.

Should have given him purple windows and one shoulder symbol to match Ginrai instead of Super Ginrai's red windows which do give him a bit more of a Scourge/Nemesis vibe.

Yeah needs blue chest windows since that sculpt looks like the cab bot and not the super mode. Ah well, they're clearly just milking some repaints while they can.

Now if only SS86 Devastator would get a Diaclone repaint like that

Agreed. I would also have liked the ROTF Devy SS69 box set in G1 Green and purple.
