hobby shops are opened for PO =O

Yeap! Apparently, I don't know how to read the instruction manual that comes with the figure

A closer look on the CW Titan Class Devastator.

It seems like (if on scale) Devastator could literally squeeze juice out of the other combiners

since Hasbro are releasing all these combiners based on the IDW comics, then i think it would be more accurate if the IDW scales are used here.

the closest we can get to determine the actual size in comic is to compare Devastator with Superion because it's the closest we can get, for now. there is a comic stripe where Prowlstator ripped Superion apart and from the scenes itself, it seems like there's no difference between the 2 therefore it is safe to say that all combiners should by right be of the same dimension.

Devastator is just made big for the matter because probably:-
1) he is perhaps the most celebrated Decepticon combiner; and
2) he is made out of construction vehicles so making him extremely big kind of make sense.

The only crazily big transformers would be Metroplex and Trypticon but of course, Unicron but he is out of this world.

But it's not unnatural though as Hasbro did mention that Devastator is a Titan Class so he is not supposed to sit well with the other combiners. Just like how they release the legends class Skywarp. Skywarp is not supposed to be so small.

Yeap! so, if we were to apply actual physics here then Bruticus would actually look like this to his fellow combiner comrades.

correct. that's why I remembered I posted somewhere here that I have no issues with an oversize motorcycle since it's a toy and a toy is not supposed to make sense especially when it comes to Transformers because in G1, nothing make sense until today, the mystery of Optimus Prime's trailer sudden disappearance when Optimus Prime transformed still bugs me.

in fact, i don't even care if they are scaled properly because from the very beginning, if actual size were to be taken into account, Superion is already out of the window.

but apparently, Hasbro wanted to bring "scale-to-life" with the Titan Class Devastator which explains why he is made to be that huge. I don't know how accurate it is but I also don't care.

more updates on the Combiner Wars Devastator and this time, closer to our shore.

so depressed.

What will happen if it got attacked from the left

Yeap, the Menasor in its original configuration is amazingly disastrous however after some minor mods, i'm actually liking it more than my Superion.

:haha: maybe he can utilize Bonecrusher's side mirror and Bonecrusher's side mirror has one of this attached XD

nice but from the sample model itself, it seems like the robot kibble is severely affecting the vehicle mode's mobility AND the transformation looks similar to the current MP Prowl.

same mold?

Sharing Is Caring

Combiner Wars Devastator (Chinese Review)

It may take a while to load but this is the best look and review on the actual figure available right now. Though it may be sound but it is one hell of a boring review.

Whatever it is, all I can say for now is that:-

1) the individual bot mode is inferior;
2) the combined mode however (to me) is great;
3) shoulder/arm is a bit "funny"
4) ratchets for combined mode is SICK!

It also seems that all the individual bots does not have ratchet joints and only ball joints and now I know why Hasbro sacrificed so much on the individual bot because they need to put all those parts which was meant for the individual bots into making Devastator.

Really cannot wait for the arrival of this thing BUT I will seriously have problem trying to fit it into my Detolf shelf lol

thin legs are thin.

why have you not attached the double barrel guns to its side? it will be the legs a bit more volume.

But. Almost RM40.00 for a pair of plastics is a bit costly though =/

already spent almost a fortune on those PE add on kits T___T

here, for those who complained about CW Devastator. 3rd party GT-1 Gravity Builder. All the individual bots have elbows and is almost perfect is every sense but the costs is going to burn a hole in your wallet larger than a meteor crater.

by the way, why does only Devastator gets vehicle mode feet whereas the rest of the combiner gets actual robot feet?

So.. the Gravity Builder is a retool of Bruticus?

Yeah, I don't know why so much hate towards the CW Devastator because I think in terms of accuracy, they are the closest thus far. True it has its flaws but hey, it's an official product. Not to say 3rd parties are "ciplak" but..... still =/

I've pre-ordered mine some time ago so be assured that I will post pictures of it when it arrives =D

:haha: not everyone is blessed financially to spent so much monies on toys.

It all depends on what is your purposes actually. For collection purposes then by all means, go for 3rd parties. They look extremely good in shelves as display but I wouldn't let kids touch them.

I on the other hand wanted something that at least when I showed it to people on display and on request, I can take them out and let them fiddle with it.

huhu!

the vehicle mode of mixmaster....

:haha: yeap. i went =O when Mixmaster was announced. I have no idea why they needed to do a "front load cement mixer" rather than the traditional one. It's not like they serve a purpose as Devastator's limb. In combiner mode, it was turned into the normal cement mixer =(

Got my Perfect Effect PC limbs replacement for the CW Superion & Menasor and here are some pictures for sharing.

Updates from Tokyo toy's convention.

apparently, they decided to went with this rendition of the Defensor


well, i guess they "did their best"


As far as I know, toy shops don't sell these voyagers individually. they are sold in sets. Since Wave 3 is fairly fresh, don't expect places like Toysrus to stock them so fast.

Wait a while.
