I always thought Raiden was a better combiner than Devastator. Had the KO a while ago and the combination is pretty impressive.

Good luck. Getting this piece is by far one of the toughest and most expensive Transformers to find. But he is worth it, IMO.

Ha!... I should have figured that!... even as I was reading this thread I was thinking "hmm... the trains don't hook up in train mode like the micromasters or JRX... too bad"

Particularly with individual handguns and all of the clips. Individual robots aren't that great... but the transformation for Raiden is surprisingly intricate. The toy is quite 'fiddly' which may be one of the reasons Hasbro passed on it.
