Next up we have a review to share with you. Canadian super-fan Protoman has got his hands on the much-anticipated Kre-O Micro Changers combiners series including the Constructicon Devastator! Protoman has posted a review of Micro Changers Combiners Devastator, you can check it out below:

I like the simplicity of the Devastator you're working on. Have you added the 6th member to the set yet?

Kreon Devastator
Using only parts from the combiner set and the single Hook this is the build I have come up with. When Wave 3 comes out I will include Long Haul so that this is a true 6 Kreon combiner like the original. I will upload when it is complete.

100% piece integration! Not a set piece wasted or set aside! Yes, even the individual guns and left over kreon arms are stored.
Even if you were to remove the heads, vest, and extra limb joints, you're still left with a figure that uses more parts and looks better than the official mode, imo.

All I did after seeing this review is took my exacto knife and placed the blade in the gap of the vest since you never use the front part.
Pushed down and siced the front of the vest part off on Hook and Rampage the plastic is easy to go through with the knife.
But there is enough left and the plastic is strong enough not to split/tear when you put it back on the neck.
Looks much better, a sharp knife might go through all at once but I used a duller knife and cut one side then bent at the cut and cut from the otehr side.

There ya go my brotha!
Alpha Omega Trion Supreme
Ordered a set because of this review, because I love G1 Devy, and because this is actually relatively cheap and doesn't take up a ton of space for me to put it on the shelf with the other actual transforming Devastators I have.
I'm curious if there are any alternative ways to put these together, especially in combined mode, or are there not enough parts in the set to do it any other way than what we see here? Is there any way to slap that block of heads on the back so its out of sight, but still with the set?

Nice review/collection show off videos, but little too much traffic. The closeups are a bit blurry for someone so legendary lol
Soon youll put your car, dog , new cellphone etc in the background hahah jk

I know that adding a 5th team member to the others seems to work so I'll be curious how well the space is allocated to jam in 6 Constructicons when Longhaul is also released.
Looking at the various giftsets and big sets I would wonder if there are any pieces you can exchange to make more convincing vehicle modes for the likes of Mixmaster. I also think that clear slanted piece on Bonecrusher might look OK as a driver cab than as a hood ornament.
I find myself more attracted to Microns though than Kreons I just could not bring myself to buy the Kre-O sets knowing I was only buying them for the Kreons even if they are practically giving them away now. And I know i'd have no interest in transforming or displaying the brick robots as I don't care for 2 Hour Transformations.
These little combiners I suppose address that – but to me i'd only be buying them for the robot mode and then i'd still lament that I didn't have the likes of Starscream and that would lead me to feel I should buy a bunch of sets I really don't want or need.
If the classic G1 Character Kreons were made on their own then I'd feel more comfortable buying them. but ultimately I have enough self awareness to know I'd be pretty foolish to buy them over and above any proper Transformers Product – buying these is like buying Statues "Pointless" unless you have so much money you have money to burn,, or you collect specific characters like Bumblebee.
If they were not so cute and so like Myclones I'd not feel so torn about it though. I think I can resist though. and just enjoy someone else (like Protoman) enjoying them at once removed. and one day maybe pick up the individual Kreons alone in an auction.

These little guys are awesome. Thanks for the review!

I got him in an eBay lot and sold him as quickly as I received him once I realized it was JUNK
bumblebeeprime2
me too!
i agree!
hope they make more combiners and one day make Unicron,tripticon, and dinobots!!! Must buy! cant wait for these to hit retail!
AutoBobby
Thanks for the info.That's cheaper than what I expected.I'll probably get them at that price.
Looking forward to see what the other sets look like.
Protoman
Currently in Canada they are $12.99, for the USA it's $10.99. (Both are Walmart prices)
AutoBobby
Love the individual bots,but the combined mode just doesn't do it for me.
In the review,he said these sets were cheap.Any idea what the price is going to be on these sets?
charsdc2
Wow! These guys are bad ass.
bookwormdalek
I love how he assembled the other Devastators in order to show scale. As if scale has ever mattered . But seriously, can't wait for these guys to hit stores, plan on getting every one of them.
