Devastator!

[ParanoiaDragon]

Thought I'd post this here for any who might be interested.  This year, Hasbro is doing Combiner Wars, sound like they're doing virtually every G1 combiner & then some.  Most of them will be Scramble City type(Ariealbots, Stunticons, etc. where all limbs can be interchanged), but they're also doing Devastator, who appears to be quite large, & 99.9% G1 accurate!  The only noticeable change I see is how Mixmaster is used as a foot.  In any case, enjoy the first picture!

It's glorious!

That image doesn't show up unless I open the image link in another window BTW. I'd say the site is preventing inline linking (AKA offsite image grabs) unless you first visit it.

[ParanoiaDragon]

I tried a different link, I'm hoping people can see this one??

[Opethian]

are these going to be die cast metal? or plastic

Hasbro seldom uses diecast on these anymore.  Even masterpiece figures are starting to go all plastic.

[Medic_wheat]

How much is  it going for?  This is one I will be very interested in

[ParanoiaDragon]

I'm sure it'll be plastic.  Everythings plastic these days, metal makes the prices shoot up.  As for as price, I can only guess, maybe $100?  It hasn't been officially announced by Hasbro, that will be in a couple weeks at Toy Fair in (I think) New York.

That's awesome! Mixmaster has always been the left leg/foot. Not sure the crane needs to be extended vertically on his left shoulder though. That looks weird.

yes that does look odd, I am use to seeing it bent downward.

This does look more G1 show with the purple in the right spots (in the original G1 Devistator combiner mix master didn't have his puple parts).

I would like to see more chrome on this bad boy.  I also take it that it comes as is, and does not seperate into the individual constructicons?

[ParanoiaDragon]

These all individually transform into Scrapper & friends.  There's just no pics of the individual bot modes online yet.  As for Mixmaster, I knew he was a foot, but I thought he was positioned wrong.  But I looked up some pics of the original, & I stand corrected.

[VenomMacbeth]

Hopefully they do the Gobots Puzzler next

[EvilEvoIX]

When I was growing up I had a friend who had all of these guys and We used to play with them for hours.  These were truly the best toys.  Well that, He-Man, and GI-Joe.

[Duo_R]

always wanted this!

Funny you mention that, Hasbro recently re-trademarked(or whatever) the Go-bots name for things including toys, animated shows, & I forget what else.  Not sure what that means for sure yet.

BUWAHHH!!!

They look to be small, too!  Any idea how much they'll cost!

[ParanoiaDragon]

Holy hell, are those legit, or 3rd party?  Of those, I had Cy-kill, Fightor, the drill guy, & Turbo.  I might've had that stealth bomber guy, not totally sure.

Given that the "Machine Robo: Revenge of Cronos" branding is used, I'd say they're official.  Having the stealth bomber (I'm assuming you're talking about the SR-71 guy, Snoop) will likely depend on what country you resided in at the time, as he was never officially released in North America 

Anyway, super stoked about these, especially if they make them small like the original 600 series MRs.

[ParanoiaDragon]

Yeah, I had a feeling they were with them saying Machine Robo, but, I didn't hear a thing about them till now.  As for the SR-71, I'm in the US, so, I must not have had him, but he seems really familiar for some reason.

[Gentlegamer]

I still have two complete sets of the original Constructicons.

[esteban]

I always hated these sets when I was a kid. Because, at most, my brothers and I would have HALF of the required characters, so we could never make the "Devastator" or the ___________ .... Voltron, Jumbotron, etc.

Yeah, I had a few Constructicons(Scrapper, Mixmaster, Scavenger, & Bonecrusher), a few Protectobots(Blades, Streewise, & Groove), 1 Predacon(Razorclaw), 1 Combaticon(Swindle), 2 Terrorcons(Sinnertwin, & Cutthroat), 1 Pretender Monster(Bristleback), a few Seacons(Snaptrap, Overbite, Tentakil, & Nautilator )BUT, I had all the Technobots!  I remember seeing the Arielbot collector set in Sears all those years ago, & I coveted it greatly!

[ParanoiaDragon]

You can check out all kinds of pics, including the robot modes of the Constructicons!

It's possible you had him anyway.  A bunch of that stuff got bootlegged and released over here in generic packages and tiny boxes. You could usually get them at drug stores and places like Skaggs-Alpha Beta, along with bootlegged transformers.

[Medic_wheat]

I remember watching gobots then transformers and thinking gobots was the first season and then the animation got better and became transformers as a kid.

[technozombie]

I used to have the full set of green Devestator that I inherited from an older cousin. They were wore out when I got them and then I wore them out even more. Then I later bought the G2 yellow set that I think I still have somewhere. I was a sucker for big robots, I also had Voltron as a kid and later I got the Power Rangers Megazord even though I was probably too old to watch the show I did anyways.

Far as gobots go it wasn't better then transformers.Though japan got the better show for gobots at least,it's japanese counter part machine robo.
Machine Robo: Revenge of Cronos OP

[turbokon]

Can't wait!  I have a third party one but I will get this as well.

[Gentlegamer]

Several years ago, I bought the new version of Starscream at Target for nostalgia sake. I was amazed how much better it was than the original. It looked much more like the cartoon/comic Starscream, and transformed waaaaaay better.

I'm assuming you're talking about the Classics deluxe figure?  It's pretty alright but I feel that mold has worn out its welcome.

That being said, it is still much better than the original.  A lot of those G1 toys were pretty piss-poor, but I can't seem to stop myself from buying them...

[ParanoiaDragon]

I like that Seeker mold, but I believe it's being officially put to rest after the TFSS exclusive figures of Nacelle, & G2 Starscream.





Personally, of the bunch, I'm looking forward to Serpent O.R.



Krok


& Tarantulas

It was this one



I still have my original G1 Transformers, I may have to get them out and take some photos.

[ParanoiaDragon]

You're sure it was exactly that one?  That's a Henkei version, Japanese only.  I think there was a re-release of G1 Starscream with colors closer to the cartoon then the 1 I got, but, I don't think it was quite as close as the Henkei version.

[Duo_R]

Tarantulas is a bike? Junkion remold.

Serpent OR looks awesome

Tarantulas is from Beast Wars, which takes place 300 years after G1, so this would be his Cybertronian mode.  Yeah, I love Serpent OR, it's a nice GI Joe homage!
