I've always been a big fan of Takara but I got a feeling there won't be too much difference between theirs and Hasbro's.

You know, I'd hope the reason for all the secrecy is that they've overhauled the figures to give them better articulation. But life sucks and it probably is just a commercial ploy.

You never know these days, just look at how NOT different both Springers are. I'm inclined to think it'll be signifigant enough of a difference based on their Superion and Menasor, but we'll all just have to wait and see.Nemesis Destron wrote:I've always been a big fan of Takara but I got a feeling there won't be too much difference between theirs and Hasbro's.

High expectations are high expectations. Remember, the silhouette gig has been done before with Superion and Menasor from the same line. And all we got were different decos.

Let 'em dream JZGR. Trouble is, reality ain't too much a friendly mistress
The mold is done. Unlike the first two gestalhts where the heads were remolded adding new "articulations" so late in the cycle is just not POSSIBLE!
Guy and gals..........Tomy will just repackage theirs with more bling (box, instructions and paint additions or subtractions). That's all.
One thing that's weird is that Defensor hasn't gotten the hype treatment yet. Maybe the release cycle will be:
Superion + Menasor + Devastar then Defensor? Unlike the domestic with Defensor first being released.

Wouldnt it be awesome if they downsized him to 6 deluxes ? So that it actually is cartoon accurate and not just a big for nothing kiddie toy ? I know its just wishful thinking, but I can dream, right ?

I understand the hate, but not the decision to pass.
There's a lot off with Devaststor. The size, the individual robot articulation, forearm integration (I know that's more G1-esque, but it's not my preference). Still, I get the constraints Hasbro has to deal with, and think this is an awesome value for what it is. I can also see several 3rd Parties stepping in to fix some of the issues people are complaining about.
So I'm in. And if they show up for CostCo, I'm in for 2 (at least).

Why do you keep calling it a "kiddie toy"? None of us have it in hand yet, so we can't tell what the quality is like. I also kinda disagree on the 6 deluxes, I think it's awesome that we're getting a massive devastator, for a really reasonable price.

Redundant topic which has been regurgitated for the upteenth time by the same source but I'll also chime in. As scaling in the original show is so waaaaaaay out there, having big @rse contruction vehicles over deluxe TF makes sense.
Mass shifting not withstanding, the Constructicons SHOULD be bigger than normal cars. Take this picture reference:
If we are to suspend a bit of belief and apply some real world physics, the Constructicon and Combaticons should be waaaaay bigger in vehicle mode. Aerialbots? Well maybe Silverbolt. So Devastar's size is just about right not withstanding the very minute voices of dissent.

Devastator is made of six robots, not five, so he should be bigger than the "Scramble City" teams in terms of raw numbers. The proportions of the combiners compared to the singular characters varied from scene to seen, or even shot to shot. Scale consistency was never in the show to begin with. Plus, Devastator has always been one of the early gestalt attempts, so it makes sense that he's in a different league compared to the Scramble City gestalts, who follow a very different design philosophy. Pit Generations Devastator against Platinum Edition Omega Supreme on your Classics shelves and relax.

Alternatively, "Combination" can be swapped out for "fusion", "merge", "union", etc. and "Six-piece" could instead be "Sextuple".SW's SilverHammer wrote:Wolfman Jake wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Roku-tai Gattai!
