More Transformers Target DCPI's And Movie Toy News--High Priced Combiner

Posted by Tigertrack Jan 16, 2009 at 8:02pm CST 28,633 views
New DCPI news, courtesy of Sabrblade:

TFW2005 has found one more DCPI listing:

087-06-0292 TRA Driver MV2 Human Driver

And have also revealed the pricepoints for the two combiner listings:

087-06-0146 TF MV2 Combiners = $29.99
087-06-0294 TRA Combiner TF MV2 = $99.99

So, the Superion and Briticus Maximus sets are likely the $29.99 listing, while the $99.99 listing could be something else. Maybe something... 'devestating'!


You can view the original thread here.

More Bots. More News. More Awesome.

Leader Prime and Ultra Jetfire? We know the deal with those 2, it could be them...

...But I have my money on a monster of a Devastator.

I can see it now, a HUGE box filled with 6 deluxes and 1 main central voyager.[/quote]



what about voyagers for arms and legs(about tf1 ratchet sized)
and a leader for the body(about tf1 prime sized).
that way hasbro will be able to make more sturdy connection parts because they have a bigger figure,and will also give them an excuse to not only sell them seperately if they wanted but also allow for a light up feature or some spaeking quotes.

how awesome would it be to have a freaking huge devestator about the size of fortress maximus that says "PREPARE OR YOUR EXTERMINATION!"

Even if the combiner is devastator I think that $100 is too much!! :| Unless its a figure which size is similar to Unicron or bigger!!!??? :-?

100USD? Holy crap that is going to be big. :shock: I cannot imagine a 200NZD toy selling here (cept it will be closer to 300-350NZ by the time it gets here). I wonder if Hasbro will even bring it in. :-?

I think I heard something indicating Devastator was going to be supreme sized, so that will be one big combiner.

$100 USD though, ouch! I feel your pain Dread_wing, the Aussie dollar only gets 66c US at the moment :(

Hasbro did say that he is going to be around supreme sized, so don't worry it should be larger or at least the same size as Unicron.

And I will be spending my $100 if this is a properly done movie styled Devastator.

Long as this bad boy has individually transforming components (with robot modes) I'm sold.

GIANT F***ING TOYS ARE COMING.

That mega-gestalt has HUGE possibilities. No doubt it's Devastator. Even a Leader Prime and Ultra jetfire two-pack would be less than $100 (40 for the leader and 30 for Ultra...so figure $69 if that were the case). Even two Voyagers and 5 deluxes wouldn't be $100...or an Ultra and 6 deluxes. Maybe a leader, a voyager, and 5 deluxes...

All I can say is, I'd wager the engineering team is earning their paychecks...

Well... It could be two Voyagers (20+20), and five Deluxes (10+10+10+10+10). That makes 90, if we're assuming no price increases to TF toys between now and summer. Up the Deluxe scale to $12 per, and that makes 100. (You can get the same thing by upping Voyagers from $20 to $25)

Hasn't Hasbro said they have been waiting til they can 'do them right' before doing combiners? Hopefully a Movie Devastator will herald new classics combiner teams in Universe 3.0.

Interresting.. Ill be looking forward to seeing just what these DCPI's result in.. dont know if anyone else has realised this but the price point for the $100 combiner works out at around £65, £70.. last time I bought a supreme class figure was Cybertron Primus.. and he was around £50..

Lets hope its the sort of combiner weve all been waiting for!

Being $100, those Combiners better be up to par with Movie Accurate Transformations and the size as close to Fortress Maximus' when combined. #-o

hopefully, it'll go like this:

2 leaders: upper and lower torso.
4 voyagers: thighs and shins.
4 deluxes: arms and forearms.

that would cost about $/£200. but hopefully we get a detailed combiner and it works.

Hear, hear, but your pricing's well off, if it's a $100 it'll be £100 - £110 unless you order from the States and paying the postage'll bring it up a bit still. The recent Universe Deluxes were £13 a piece and the Ultras were £26, so 2 Ultras and 4 Deluxes would fit the UK prices but if it's a big Devastator, I want one! Time to start saving.

Reckon I'll wait for the inevitable green and purple repaint

Aslo fingers crossed for combiners in U 3.0

Huh... I just ran it through a currency converter.. ah well.. either way.. if it is £100 for this combiner it'd better be damn impressive..

I thought Movie Devastator was supposed to be some awkward number of bots (7-9) instead of the usual 5 (4 limbs & big center) or 6 (original devastator).

So, if this is a 9 bot package, and Hasbro's pricing on the "current" $10.99/deluxe price point, there's your $100, especially if this is going to be "Target Exclusive" and therefore marked up a hair more...

$100? It better be as big as G1 Fortress Maximus for that kind of money. And look like a god damn Transformer not a gobot.
