Is this more than you expected? Or are you clicking that preorder button right after reading this?

Pass!

New combiner head that allows both toy- and cartoon-accuracy, new elbows for 2/3 of the team while the other third gets new knees, possibly more tooling on Scavenger and Bonecrusher to fill in Devastator's armpits, individual weapons, and improved paint job?

Maybe not eighty, but definitely worth extra dough.

So now I play the waiting game for good ol' TCP to get theirs up.

But because Im not into stand alone figures, ill be sticking with my Hercules and yellow Giant that scale properly. I still say mixmasters alt mode is a disgrace. Somebody needs to get fired for that decision.

So someone needs to lose their job and be unable to support their family for making a kid's toy a different kind of cement truck than one that they made 30 years ago?

Adding to your statement Sunstorm, Takara even added the paint to make the leg work as G1 accurate and for anyone to simply flip the truck around in alt mode if needed.

Which makes this Devy even better! As for my stand on which to get, I would love to get this one over the Hasbro or SDCC versions, except I can't afford it. And besides, I'd be keeping him in combined mode (And I don't need the retooled head with the flip-up sunglasses because I don't like the eyes on the first place), so elbows wouldn't matter. And because of the fact that I don't like chrome (and the eyes thing), I'll pick the retail Devastator.

Looking at the other page, there is a 3rd party add on that actually adds a cab that covers the foot, making Mix look much more convincing.

Of course there is.
