    EXTENSIVE GALLERY OF ALL VEHICLES AND LARGE DEVASTATOR PICS
    ROTF Devastator - a set on Flickr

    so here's the text review, while I wait impatiently for youtube to finish uploading

    Pros:
    - he's a monster, huge! about 13 ½ inches when hunched over
    - great sound chip (in mixmaster) he says a few lines of text and sounds while in Devastator mode...the voice clips are random, same one might sound off several times in a row, but still, very extensive. the sound chip/lights are all in Mixmaster. Removing him and TFing him into his cement mixer triggers the "transform" sound effect. While in truck mode, mixmaster makes a few random machine type noises.

    all seem to have the vacuum / vortex noise and then....
    1) an evil laugh
    2) "destroy"
    3) I am... Decepticon!! (WTF is that?)
    4) Devastator, Destroy!
    5) yeah ahaha autobots (I think)
    6) I am....Devastator (odd that's similar to #3)
    7) Devastator, Destroy Autobots!​

    - solid. He's about 7 to 8 pounds
    - ratcheting shoulder joints
    - ratcheting elbow joints
    - ratcheting hips
    - some articulation in "fingers"
    - quite movie accurate

    Cons:
    - really weak vehicle modes (pretty much blocks of plastic)
    - little to no paint apps (hightower is solid yellow)
    - sorta "back heavy" (mixmaster is heavy
    - hightower arm is very blocky looking. they couldv'e made it a little smaller and it would have balanced better with the other arm (scrapper)
    - Demolisher is called Scavenger on the instructions
    - Price is too high, should be closer to 50-60 USD in my opinion
    - Knees are on hinge joints and pretty much locked where they are in order to support the weight
    - Ankles are also on hinges, and render useless because of all the weight on him
    - Walking on all 4s is going to require some heavy modding
    - Demolisher looks like a nike shoebox with treads on it
    - noice trigger on mixmaster is too sensitive while in truck mode.

    All in all, I think this guy's great. he'd make an AWESOME centerpiece to any movie fan's collection, a must have. I see huuuuge potential for this guy getting lots of repaint and kit bashing action, and wish I didn't have to sleep so I can get to that.

    I for one, am excited. :D 

    Wow, a big box! You've convinced me to get him on the spot! I seriously can't wait to show off the giant hunk of cardboard to my friends.
    Oh, and the toy will go...er.....somewhere...

    now that that's out of the way, do you mind snapping a picture or two of the box next to one of the other size classes boxes?

    This is worse than a horrible wreck you can't look away from.

    This is a horrible wreck that hasn't happened yet, but you know it will soon and you can't wait to not be able to look away from it.
