With compound hip and ankle joints and fixed-angle "knees", along with complex shoulder and bicep assemblies, this Devastator has far greater flexibility than any previous version, and as such can stand more erect than is typical for the character. This allows a pose similar to early concept art, and makes him easily the largest Studio Series figure to date. Devastator was in an early draft of The Reign of Starscream, but was dropped at Hasbro's request. [7] After the Axiom Gun was destroyed, Megatron stated that Devastator is uncovering the Star Harvester. STUDIO SERIES LEADER CLASS: Leader Class figures are 8.5-inch collectible action figures inspired by iconic movie scenes and designed with specs and details to reflect the Transformers movie universe.

The "Mixmaster" body-type was among the very first of these new beings, one of several "builders" who would construct a harvester when a suitable sun had been found. Once built, the device would drain the energy of these stars, thus replenishing the AllSpark. Defiance #4 Pressing down the Decepticon shield on his crotch (!) spins the vortex in his chest, lights up his eyes and makes him utter one of many Welker-recorded phrases, including "Prepare for extermination!", "Crush Autobots!" and "I am Devastator!" Pressing on the crane of his excavator arm makes a cannon blast sound effect, while pressing the cab of his loader arm turns the scoop into claws.the left arm feels noticeably heavier to me than the right. The connecting post that everybody is worried about does carry a heavy load, a bit unbalanced no less, but it looks to be made of sturdy ABS so I'm not too concerned. Guess time will tell. The legs might be different in weight in the end,but the upper body weighs so much more it feels like that's negligible.

In the distant past, the AllSpark Cube created a race of powerful, trans-dimensional beings as the first inhabitants of Cybertron. The Cube gave these beings mighty powers, as well as terraforming their world, but it was not limitless, and gradually became depleted. The first beings learned that the AllSpark's power could be replenished by harvesting the energy of stars, but they were unable to locate new stars to suit their purposes, despite their amazing ability to travel between dimensions. Once again, the Cube came to the rescue, creating a race of workers, who had the ability to change their shape.

From the manufacturer

Hasui opted for omitting the knee joint altogether, which is a sensible decision imo. This also facilitates the much stronger sliding connection between Overload and the two legs. Judging by all the TakTom official photos Devy was probably designed standing only so I haven't really tried fan-moding him on all fours yet. Might add to this post later. As to the hunching physique, yeah nothing much you can do to fight gravity really; I'm happy Devy can be hunched as is.

figures combine to form the Devastator figure in 11 steps. Figures also convert between robot and construction vehicle modes. Perfect for fans looking for a more advanced converting figure. For kids and adults ages 8 and up

Devastator's final CGI head differs from that used for his promotional images, including more red panels and several pulleys and wires, four highly pronounced horns, and a trio of throat gears lit like a furnace instead of a single complex vortex machine lit green like his eyes. All of the toys and most of the video games released around the film depicted Devastator with a completely grey head, with later Takara releases of his Supreme and Legends class toys adding more screen-accurate red paint applications. In a variable universal stream, Devastator worked to uncover the Star Harvester for the Fallen in Cairo. Revenge of the Fallen: Autobots/Decepticons On the flip side, in his intended configuration, Devastator cannot stand on all fours for several reasons: his joints don't orient in the needed positions, his head is largely immobile, and the joints in his hands are not designed to support his weight. It is possible to get him on all fours, though you'll have to disconnect some components and really stretch the limits of his joints. Many fans have taken to creating unique fan-modes to give Devastator his screen-accurate quadrupedal stature.

I maintain my claim that this is the most ambitious project HasTak have done. Please remember: MPs are a completely different ball game altogether than retail. The TakaraTomy release of this figure has extra paint applications on Devastator's face, for a better resemblance to the final CG model. Announced to commemorate the 10th anniversary of Revenge of the Fallen, the holy grail known as Studio Series Devastator consists of eight (yes, eight) Constructicons that combine into one mechanical giant. While meant to celebrate the film's tenth anniversary, some members were released in 2020.

Also, spent a while trying to figure out how the struts on Scavenger peg into the giant wheel above his head, couldn't get it to work, then went out on a limb and popped one off and attached it to the other side. Wouldn't you know it, they were misassembled after all. Every individual component is an individual stand alone release, with their own parts count incorporated in the budget, and this can be a double-edged sword. Previous Titans combiners like G1 Devs and Predaking's individual components suffered visible simplification when viewed as stand-alone figures because they were budgeted as one Titan class figure; however the combined mode arguably benefited from this because in general the less move parts in a given system, the more rigid this system is. Now each SS Devy component has to be their own stand-alone figure, with their own unique engineering. Hasbro's reps need to be able to market these as good enough individual figures to retailers, especially when the component releases span across several waves. ICONIC MODES: 8 figures combine to form the Devastator figure in 11 steps. Figures also convert between robot and construction vehicle modes. Perfect for fans looking for a more advanced converting figure.
