If you haven't heard the news we posted yesterday, or have yet to catch up on our coverage of the Hasbro panel - read on below to find out more about the upcoming Titan class Transformers Generations Combiner Wars Devastator! The biggest gestalt figure in the franchise's history so far, showed in a promo video using clips and artwork from the past, will be released as a box set with Marcelo Matere artwork of six Voyager figures: Mixmaster, Hook, Scrapper, Long Haul, Scavenger, and Bonecrusher. According to ScottyP and Seibertron, Scrapper looks almost as tall as G1 Devastator, and Long Haul and Hook fit the bill in robot modes, bulky enough and with the right headsculpts - but check out for yourselves in the images below, directly from the Hasbro area at the New York Toy Fair 2015!

Is it is good as herc? not really, However Hasbro's devastator also isn't a $600+ boutique collectible released in and around the few ten thousand production copy range.

Do not want.

So many flat, hollow limbs with abysmal articulation. The other combiner individuals were looking pretty decent, this is a step back (or two) to the FoC-level of things.
Though Devy himself is looking OK.

For $150,Devastator and his individual Constructicons look real good.

Combined mode looks pretty good, although I still think the head and arms suck.

The individual figures themselves look like the upscaled G1 figures, with a bit more articulation. Just dreadful. Looking at the picks there are like two that look like decent Deluxe Class figures, but these are supposed to be Voyagers ...

these new shots give his head more depth, looks better than original shots led me to believe.

i was going to use that as a positive :lol:

theres a few hollow bits here and there (bonecrusher's legs? eww) but other than that, they look like they jumped right out of the cartoon! i would buy this entire set JUST for scrapper. he looks puuurrrrfect.

I'm not sure that view of Scrapper in robot mode is the best view to make the elbow judgement. Perhaps there's a hinge there somewhere. It's not exactly a dealbreaker for me, as I'm sure a 3rd party can fix it if there are in fact no elbows on Scrapper.

Boy I'm stoked for Devastator. Gonna have to preorder him when it comes up!

This is an awesome year for Transformers. Tons of combiners, and an awesome Ultra Magnus figure coming!

I have to say, with the exception of Longhaul, the other 5 look in fact like Voyager upscales of G1 selves with only slight tweeks here and there. Longhual looks like hes got a deviation from his G1 toy due to him now having the ablity to directly peg into the legs and thus needing a new/altered Transformation.

i think they did a great job for the price.. even the fact they're all voyager etc. The robot modes are incredibly g1 esque. And the combined mode is awesome... metroplex stands to the right of my tv... maybe i can have devy on the left...

Yeah the 3rd part ones might look better and have more intricate detailing and transformations but for the price i'd rather go with an official release. Only 3rd party product that's really rempting me right now is hexatron and i'd rather get the sixshot reissue first.

The nerdsphere of the interwebz has been playing around with comparisons, and here are the results:

Compared to G1 Devastator.

Meaning that CW Devastator should come up to Metroplex' chest.

Looks to me that scrapper just has really simple hinges.

Seriously guys. This is awesome and priced fairly. I have more chance picking this up than third party stuff.

I thought this was a forum for transformers toy fans and not "counts as" imitation toys.

I just can't get over the attitude some people have. Maybe Hasbro shouldn't even bother anymore and just make toys for robots in disguise.

high standards i was going to say to picky yes he does look amazing look forward to getting him its big step up from past combiners we got in past after g1 series and robots in disguise bruticuise combiner after that combiners well fell through and came back wit hhuge step if i knew this i would have passed herucles and waited for hasbro devy but either way will pick him someday spend 700.00 for 3rd part combiner, 149.99 for hasbro release hercules has its flaws to but i can deal with those flaws

haha thanks for that.. didn't see the g1 devastator in the pic! yeah i have my cable boxes that he might use for a wee boost.

I actually have a knock off g1 devastator. I had the originals as a kid but the interconnectors were fragile and broke soon after. He was the first and prolly the most rubbish of the lot but they were fun!

These are supposed to be Voyagers, they don't live up to previous Voyager standards. It doesn't matter that they're not 3rd Party, I'm not expecting them to live up to 3rd Party standards, we would be incredibly dumb if we did.

They just look like terrible Voyager figures, seriously terrible. Every pick I see that shows just how big the individual bots are just make me sad. They look like they belong in the Legends scale, not Voyager. These even look stupid next to CW Voyager Optimus Prime.

These are Voyagers, and priced as such, so we were kinda expecting them to live up to that standard.

But again, apart from a few problems, the combined mode looks pretty great, and will surely look fantastic next to the rest of the line.

I'm liking them. I have Giant, and Herc, and still believe there is a place for this in my collection. I know there's a lot of interest in all the repaints possible for this at least by Hasbro; but I'm still waiting on my Metrotitan repaint of Metroplex, wish they would have found a place for that... Still could, I know.

What I love most is the individual bot modes being so cartoon G1. Just amazing. And I get to get all 6 for the price of two Herc members (less even).

I could see myself getting this for my boys too. They're not into Transformers much, but do like construction toys. These would be such a nice transition...and way to try to get them interested.

Which I'm guessing was the main goal in the design process. Create a large great looking Devestator, the look of the individual bots is secondary.

And that's most likely the reason behind Scrapper's "missing" elbow: in combined mode his arms stretch out to act as heels, and regular bending hinges would have been catastrophic for his stability.

I see they used the "kibble becomes weapons" trick from the Main batch of CW comibiners (and that they themselves inherited from the Energon "Maximus" combiners). Only without the scramble option.

I'll be honest, I was hoping for Prowlastator. Knew it was a long shot, but I was hoping.

This speaks heavily to nostalia, but mynostalgia is for Beast Wars,so I'm not likely to pop on this unless future pictures change my mind. RiD tempts me too much and I like the normal CW system too much better and I haven't even LOOKED yet at Magnus and the Protectobots, nor at the Rescue Bots or Kreo. It may be an expensive year, and I;m not sure I can fit this in.

Long haul suffers the same fate too with his elbows.

Third was Long Haul, wasn't until I got back into collecting that I got the other three.

So yes, many times did Long Haul strut around with incredibly large legs.

I have no problem with the Constructicons looking like their old toys with just more articulation. That's really I want out of a C/G is the old toy with today's technology. If they can improve on the figure, all the better, but there's been more than a few figures they tried to rebuild from the ground up only to totally screw it up.

I think this guy is awesome!, for a ~$150.00 price point I think it makes it achievable for more folks/kids. While giving a really great update to a beloved G1 character/s. His scale looks like it will be flexible for more than 1 collection type. If Devy was like this when I was a kid I would have been over the moon! I mean c'mon the articulation alone is spectacular! Hasbro G1 Devy with articulated hips and knees, shut the front door! LOL

I am however concerned about the plethora of ball joints, and am I the only that thinks that Longhaul is gonna have T-Rex arm syndrome? I think he looks pretty awesome in those pics otherwise.

Then there are the knee joints on Scrapper...meh.

Man, I dunno. The molds look okay for the most part, but if I'm seeing a lack of elbow articulation, that by itself is an automatic deal breaker for me. Like, if even one of them lacks basic articulation, it's not worth the money IMO
