    Looks gorgeous! As nice as that palisade was, I need to find an image of him next to Energon/YotS Omega Supreme

    Am I right to believe that I should buy the Takara version? Something about more joints?

    It does have more joints, and a different head. And some other stuff. :) 

    Personally, I'm leaving him in Devastator mode so I don't care about the extra joints. And I like the bling, goes well SDCC Metro bling.

    He's got a dimple in his face? Or is that a mole?









    Facing him, it's on the left side of the bridge of the nose.

    A different head? Looks like I need to hunt down some pics.

    So torn, there really are aspects I prefer about each version and like Tony said, he'll probably live as Devastator 90% + of the time :: if I can secure SDCC I might just have to go that route, since Takara likely won't arrive until December AND in all likelihood SDCC isn't going to depreciate, so it's probably a safe buy if I were to change my mind...

    I really wish the vac metal wasn't so far off from the regular people parts in tonality, would help the overall cohesiveness...

    I'm in same boat for all that. Like the retail head better. But would take a takara-both-head. Prefer extra joints if I had option, but not a deal breaker. Like the bling, but disappointed in the color mixmatch.

    So, I'll start with this, see where it goes. Haven't transformed anything yet but cool and fun so far.

    Purple chrome looks tacky here.

    Looks lovely. I am really impressed by Hasbro and what they have manage to pull off with Devastator. That being said, if I get one, it'll be the takara version as it is the more 'finished' product.

    How much of those added details are stickers? The safety stripes on Scavenger certainly look like it.

    Yeesh, that purple chrome isn't even close to the purple plastic. The mismatch there is eyesore bad.

    He definitely does, huh?

    Quite a Devastastor "beauty mark".

    edit: just checked StarscreamGaga's non-sdcc pics and it doesn't have that beauty mark.

    Wonder if the Takara Devy will have it or not...

    I loved that pic where Metroplex puts his hand on Devastator's shoulder, right after the one with Omega.

    Metroplex: Hey, you happen to see any Decepticons here? My friend Omega just asked for help.
    Devastator: .......no.

    Hasbro (basic) release for me. If it really comes down to wanting more articulation, weapons, etc... 3rd party can assist me with that.
