    It was too small (and lacked a joint) compared to the rest of Devastator. The PE shovel adds a joint just above the shovel part and is much bigger.

    No, Dr. Wu is not doing a shovel for Scavenger... yet.

    I don't think it looks too small. But a joint at the bucket would be nice. I think i'll just mod the original...

    It can go straight to Hell if it's not!

    Not trying to be an ass, but if there were an update, don't you think it'd be posted in this thread already?

    Possibly. I was hoping to get more interest in this so maybe it'd push an update of sorts.

    Man, erector would be jealous!
    Do these all come in a set or do you have to buy each wu devastator upgrade piece separately?

    This is pretty good. I'll get it for a definitive set up.

    Needs a winch too. And color. Then it's perfect.

    Still no preorders up for this?

    I was thinking that this would make a good club or lance type weapon for ol Devy.

    Great! I'll buy this if Wu paints the end purple like the UW.

    Now if only there was a kit to make the crane rotate. That would seal the deal of me buying UW Devastator over Herc...

    It needs another add-on for outriggers to make it more believable. Extending boom that high requires stability.

    Well, one of my gripes about this guy was that it can't lift anything with its hook...

    A kit to actually make the crane jib rotate would be awesome! It can't be that difficult, the G1 toy did it.

    Actually, it can be difficult. There's combiner parts and amtransformation slides and hinges in there. So it'd take a lot of reworking

    I know I'm going to probably get some people disappointed due to lack of news, but I do have a question.

    Is there any confirmed price for this upgrade?
