    How about a New Year's resolution not to give this scribbler attention?

    So the KSI Boss really is going to be a Nitro redeco, hopefully with a Shockwave head this time

    So they're calling Nitro Zeus by the name KSI Boss now? That doesn't make sense. The actual KSI Boss in AOE had a different head.

    On the plus side, this means a SS Shockwave with the same head is coming soon ;)

    That's a cool diagram to illustrate the positions of the Cconstructicons!

    The diagram of Devastator’s release years confirms a theory I made in October, it’s a bit long and messy but I hope you get my point

    They're going to make us wait *two years* to finish Devy?

    The two-headed boss was a travesty and one of the many reasons I hated AoE, but thinking a Studio Series Shockwave may be coming makes me smile.

    And three years until they do an exclusive box set of them all in proper Constructicon green. That's the one I'd wait for if I were going to get them.

    Only seven constructions? Not eight? I take it this means that Scrapper is cut? Shame. I would have liked a Volvo Excavator. But given that Scrapper and Scrapmetal's robot modes are so similar, and the movie itself confuses the two characters like the rushed hack job it is, I'm not shocked. I just could have sworn Hasbro said eight constructions back during the initial reveal. I guess that was either a mistake or just fan conjecture.

    Scrapmetal's name is hidden behind the watermark. There are 8.

    Ok, they're really cocking up the Decepticons aren't they? What with Shadow Raider being a random colour and clealy based of Lockdown not his crew, KSI Sentry having the wrong body and alt mode, Crankcase being a repaint of the wrong mould, and now possibly KSI Boss actually being Nitro. Though possibly the art work is just wrong as a little acknowledgement of the Voyager Nitro packaging having the KSI Boss head (which itself would be a simple retool of the Nitro figure's head by losing the central eye and changing the antennae; personally I find the KSI bot head better than just Shockwave's stuck on). Or maybe they're bunging KSI Boss and Twohead into one figure...lol

    Oh, lol. Blame me for trusting the text of the front page article and not studying the actual image for more than a second. A staff member really needs to edit that typo.

    I do´t think Bayverse Devastator lends itself very well to the green colors of normal Devastator.

    KSI Boss isn't the two-headed Shockwave, it's the "Nizzi-bot" whose body Nitro Zeus is based on. It is a bit confusing though when you have Shock wave's head randomly shoved on different robots as if his isn't one of the most iconic and recognisable TF faces, even in Bayformers style. Has-Tak probably can't keep up with which was which.
