(Btw confirmed with a toyseller .. Gravity Builder IS Warbotron)
Honestly.... I actually much prefer CW's version... when I look at some of Warbo bruticus' figure like blast off.. one look at their face sculpt , it reminds me of BlastOff.. so far looking at the face sculpts of these "Constructicons" they don't give me that feel.
I think for now.. my large sized DEVIE will still be the Takara version + the shoulder addons from 3rd party =_=-... warbo has made me sad for an awesome looking Devie..
*
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

QUOTE(omichael @ Jun 16 2015, 02:28 PM)
I would gladly pay 3x the price of the official Devvy to get a solid MP-style 3rd party one... but this one is not looking great so far.

The combined mode looks like a more detailed TFC Herc.

Guess will just have to wait... maybe MMC or Unique Toys will deliver something worthwhile.

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

QUOTE(tnsai @ Jun 16 2015, 03:42 PM)
Yep, not to sound.. what's the word .. "lannsi" ? I mean.. if I have the money, I would want to buy the best on possible.. even if it is worh 3 times the price.. but it is the only way to get the nicest ont possible.. then so be it i guess.. just have to plan your finances.
I really really really hope that FT providing cartoon eyes for their Stomp could mean they would attempt a devastator one day.. I know it's a bit of a stretch but who knows..

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.

One thing about third party combiners is, they usually release one limb every few months... so in that sense most of us can afford RM200+ every 2 or 3 months.

Reselling is also easy most of the time, if you change your mind or need the money. Most GOOD third party combiners hold their value reasonably well (let's push aside duds like TFC Uranos, lol...)

So it's not really a matter of affordability to me, it's just about what you want and expect from your toys.

I'm a sucker for high-end TFs, and my kids are too young to play with them... so that's why simplified and child-focused official products just don't do it for me personally!

When my kids are a bit older though, I'll go nuts with the simple figures... cause there's no way they're touching my MPs and 3Ps tongue.gif

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?
*
if afford to get devy, i rather get hercules or the MT Giant.. i think the latest one is too complicated.. blush.gif

btw, i think hasbro the 1st time they got an idea to create combiners is devy, then pay more effort on it.
after that, some lazy fella ask, y dun we create more n more combiners to fight? ok, let simply design them..

and there are the cincai foot combiners appeared.. whistling.gif

i hate it because everything (quality, articulation, design..etc) are KO-like. rmb those days KO producers keep produce oversized KO? this is it.

even no elbow articulation? come on, a voyager size for single mode and the quality is like legend class? that is just too over.

besides, i also hate it cos the size cannot pair with other combiners.. doh.gif mad.gif

: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 =(

If anyone is interested in getting nonnef upgrades for their masterpiece or combiner wars, you can come and visit my thread and join the bulk ordering: Bulk Order Thread rclxms.gif

The reason for this is to decrease the chances of the shipment lost during shipping, and of cause, we can share the shipping cost. biggrin.gif

Anyone's seen Hotspot in stock around PJ? (Bandar Utama / Sunway area, don't mind travelling a bit)
I went to 1U today, saw it in the toy shop next to parkson, but they insist only selling 'set of 5'. I didn't get the set as I'm only wanting Hotspot now. Trs, Jusco, Parkson, Hamley's all don't have 3rd wave yet.

Would appreciate if anyone notice 3rd wave instock, pls gimme a head's up.

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.
