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.

0____0. thats a beast.

Finally! An ACTUAL review!

Looking forward to the review.

it is a great day first i get my jetfire in the mail and now i am gonna get a actual review man could this day get any better

Cool. Excited to finally see a review.

I for one, am excited.

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...

inb4review.

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?

FINALLY A REVIEW!

f_r, you rock.

Looking forward to the pics!

use fingernail clippers! they make short work of them twisty ties >:}

*snikt*

Cool. Can't wait to see some pics.

oh yeah. I'm gonna do the vid review first. kinda gonna wing it, these guys are fucking huge, that's all I can say for now...

Nice, looking forward to the feedback.

Say more!

Yay for Vid review

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.

Luckily, F_R has a talent for making ugly wrecks look good.

i thought a review. but i only see a toy in a box now i need to wait...

So much hate for this guy...

Ah well. Makes it easier for me to find, I suppose.

Same. People not wanting it = Me having an easy time finding it.

ya know i might get him when he goes on clearance just to have a representation of Devastator on my shelf

but he is so not worth $100 or whatever

My only gripe was that the limbs didn't have robot modes, but since that's accurate in the movie, I have no problems with him other than the somewhat overblown price.

You can't even say an exact number, or "he's about twice as tall as ____ figure"?

I could never be a reviewer, I guess. I'd actually not string people along for hype.

I will cry if he doesn't have a "We are Devastator" voice clip.

So true....

This. I rather like him, it's just that the price is a load of shit.

ya the fact it is accurate made up my mind to buy him BUT only on clearence at walmart or target... The $100.00 price is a load of shit.


~AAD

I'll second that! nailclippers are so good at unbounding trappeds tf's! I just want so see how big he is compared to other movie tfs....

I agree that he should have some better paint apps, but considering his FAB-esque style, he can't be that hard to take apart for some panel lining, blackwashing, and some detailing in general. And if you can't see the head at all inside of Mixmaster's barrel, it's screaming for some added red.

I'm not trying to string anyone along. don't wanna wait? go check out a different review then.

video's uploading now. Youtube's kinda slow.
Having never done a video review, I am learning as I go. Somehow I ended up with a 10:02 video that's 810 megs large. I have only the stock video editting crap of a program that came w/ Windows.

What's your Youtube name ?

This.

BTW F-R...bless your heart for taking the plunge on getting this guy. But hey....you can afford it.

Me too i am transformersfan300. My account Link: It know not alot of subbers because youtube deleted my main account! YouTube - transformersfan300's Channel

Sent a friend Request to you too.

Is the video up yet?

Nope

nope. soon though. I gotta break it into 3 parts cause max vid legnth is 10 minutes. Waiting on moviemaker (lol)

This is the best review I've ever seen. I've learned so much from it.

actually you can go 11:00 mins but no more (not .5 seconds)

What about the pictorial review?

Yeah...

He probably doesnt have time to take and upload.

hey dude, with an attitude like yours, I'm tempted to not post anything. you don't like it...don't read it.

pics and text review on 1st page

GAH!! I made a tofu stirfry for dinner while waiting and I still don't see it!! PS image is broken

Nice review, but the images aren't showing up...

And it is possible for him to stand on all fours? At all?

Arrgghh! I cant see the pictures! Is anyone else having this problem?
