    i got this Devastator in a small lot, and he was complete including all his little guns. he's 2/3rds the size of the original, and is different in colors. if someone can help me out would be much appreciated. he's 7 inches tall as seen in the 3rd pic. he's actually pretty cool looking but kinda cheap chinese plastic i would think.
    here are some pics of him:

    I remember that Grimlock KO!

    Isn't he from a line called Ancient Animals or something like that?

    No clue (though some one already pointed out what line) but it does look very nice.

    Yeah I saw that Devs at big lots last year. I wanted to buy it but was afraid it would turn to dust in my hands.

    he's actually pretty strudy, for chinese plastic. the hands actually shoot, unlike the regular devastator, whereas his springs are always sprung :(

    yup, Big Lots like what was said. Btw there's a reason he comes preassembled as Devs. Leave him that way. I had two of them and both of them crumbled to pieces when I tried to separate them.

    he's a cool lil' guy as long as you leave him alone, lol.

    well he's not that fragile, he's pretty sturdy surprisingly
