more or less this for me... I actually really like his size and combined look but the individual bots look pretty much like bad KO oversized legends (imo!) and Devastator himself lacking in pose-ability/articulation kinda kills me. really dug him initially but I'm now totally turned off by the most recent round of pics we've gotten. we'll see how it looks once folks have him in hand and maybe 3rd party upgrades will make me change my mind but for now I'm out. that said I can't wait to see more pics of him in folks' collections once hes out, looks like a cool addition overall.
I personally think Devy should be bigger than other combiners. but not THAT big compared to the likes of our current CW combiners. Not to mention, the constructicons alone really do not look like they should be voyager size. They look like blown up deluxes, and it just doesnt suite them, imo. However, the scaling of Devy alone next to any other figures that isnt a combiner, the scale is pretty great. So thats a plus. But overall, I think this Devy would have benefited from having the constructions be a bit smaller, like between a deluxe and a voyager. I would have liked to see him as big as say maybe armada unicron or the Energon Omega Supreme mold.
I think he's going to look magnificent towering over G1 Prowl and Co. He's actually in scale with them and Fansproject Menasor as far as i can see.
I only collect MPs but I am thinking of placing an order for this. I think he scales pretty well with the rest of the MP line, and by that I mean he is roughly double the height of MP-10 and XTB Apollyon, which is about as good as it gets. In the G1 cartoon the individual Constructicons weren't necessarily all that big, however when they formed Devastator they all seemed to somehow grow magically. This guy will be displayed as Devastator in my collection anyway so this works for me. He will most likely be displayed next to the FT not-Dinobots in their Dino modes. I have an MT Green Giant which I think is a brilliant figure, it looks very G1 accurate and has some great sculpting and detailing. However, at 12 inches it doesn't work if you are displaying in amongst MPs. I also like that this Devy is bigger than other combiners in the CW series, even though I don't collect them myself I can understand him being bigger as he is 6 individual cons whereas most other combiners are 5, so that extra bot you could argue is worth the extra height.
I think devi would have been better as all dlx, probably would have come up a little larger than the standard cw combiners and the individual members would have been better.
I don't know if anyone noticed but the other day someone posted pics of all the constructicons in alt and robot mode and I swear Long Haul looked to be biggest and bulkiest of the set while the others looked small compared to him,I just hope I am seeing things due to age but if not then I may be passing on this set.
No! I LOVE that he's huge and made out of all voyagers!!! The ONLY reason I can think of that that may be a bad thing is, when he's released I MAY not be able to afford him!
Glad I'm not the only one who plans to do this! I think they will scale pretty well together, at least with Dino modes vs combined Devy. I will possibly consider selling my MT Green Giant once this arrives, as cool as it is. This can be my MP Devastator, the only thing that might over take it would be if HasTak or a 3P did a really nice MP combiner one.
