And with that face on the back, his box doubles as an homage to the Ohmeg Xt'Tapalatakettle head in your basement!
Course, the only question big enough to match a box of that size is:
Any sign of six extra guns in with him?

Are you ok with stock images instead of in hand pics? Because there are a ton here.
Here<s a quick one of all of them in one frame:
Also, I hope no one hates me too much but I actually do not like the chrome. Since just some of the purple is chrome, it looks kinda weird. I didnt care too much about Leader Jetfire's Chrome because it was optional (you could remove the guns) and all the chromed pieces were the same red pieces, fitting uniformly on the figure. But some people didnt like it, and now I kinda get it because here it totally distracts from the rest of the figure and gives an uneven look. The paint apps are better, sure, but the adding of chrome takes away any G1 show accuracy and instead gives us something that doesnt really jive well all together. Just my opinion and a reason to not have to splurge on this toy.
Also, the headsculpt is not the head I associate with Devastator but thats a personal thing.

I look at the picture you responded to and I honestly do not see anything meriting that kind of a comment. Yes, CW Devy has flaws, but he's impressively articulated for a figure his size and what problems there are do not subtract from his impressiveness. They especially do not deserve to be hated upon at every turn.

He looks really nice. I have noticed that on the stock images the tracks are painted on the outside for Bonecrusher and Scavenger, yet at Botcon ony one has the outer side of the tracks painted green.

Perhaps because scavenger's treads should be purple?

They are painted but the purple and black is hard to see in the less than favorable lighting.

The chrome used here doesn't actually bother me that much but I was expecting just a little bit more from the sdcc exclusives. Like last year's knights of unicron figures... (okay some didn't like them but I loved the theme and the ideas behind it)

No, it's best to address the fact that a great many of the images that we have seen of this thing do, in all honesty, make the combined figure look like a Fisher Price toy. I hate to say it but right from the start that was the exact impression that I got of this thing too and I still hold to that opinion of it even after all of the pictures that have come out since the initial release of this thing. This behemoth is a straight-up Playskool combiner. It may look different once it's actually in a persons hands but if I have to go by pictures, it will never end up in my hands so I fail to see how you can be so dismissive of his viewpoint since obviously he isn't the only one seeing it. I'm not saying that people shouldn't buy it, that's up to the individual and they have every right. I'm just saying that TimR has a right to his opinion and that he's not the only one who shares it and that your dismissal of him as basically being an "attention whore" is b.s.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I personally find it very hard to consider this Devy a Fisher Price toy when there are a bunch from Hasbro staring at me in the face, like this one:
This Devy is a play arts Kai Kai figure compared to that Optimus.

you know, I thought this was a forum for fans of transformers. Not for people to trash transformers seemingly without good reason. It's a cool toy. When did this NOT become a toy collector forum?
I mean, yeah there are flaws, and yeah you can point them out...but POINT THEM OUT. Don't just waste space trashing things. Jeez guys. You aren't cool just by being contrary.
