Streetfield a new user who attended Toy Fair UK posted this over at Hisstank.com Staff Edit: Descriptions removed at the request of Hasbro
There are a couple other things in the thread too including G.I. Joe info obviously
I dug this out of the thread too: Staff Edit: Descriptions removed at the request of Hasbro G.I. Joe Movie Toy Fair UK 2009 Report - Zartan! - HissTank.com - G.I. Joe
I asked the OP at Hisstank to come over and share and he starts posting info on Page 4 here, his name is Streetfield1. And can we limit the amount of remarks about his typing.
shroobmaster:
Lil' Frenzies eh? Didn't we hear about that before?
flamingunicron:
2 foot tall devastator? I'll believe it when i see it and then buy it.
Darth Rodimus:
ooooooooooh!

Would fit with what we've already heard.
I'm all for the 2-ft-tall thing, though.  Jeremy.B:
Wow. I guess there is no reason to discount this yet, as it seems pretty all over the place. I hope that is not how they are going to get 40 robots in through a bunch of frenzy wannabees..
BUT, a 2 ft tall devvy will be BADASS!
Blackout:
Giant turbine = the cement mixer in his chest? Nice.
More Devastator news please....
Sarge:
I added this to the top post as well:
"by the way transformers 2 will rule the year for fanboys,constructicons are badass and ther's a new girl even hotter than megan fox who is a decepticon pretender"
Also if a kind Mod would ad 'from Toy Fair UK 2009' in the title I would appreciate it, I was just excited to tell people and went fast. I am sure the British contingent here will soon give us more info as well.
Optimus747:
2-foot-tall Devastator?!
That...would (will) be EPIC.  Spiderus Prime:
I don't read anywhere?
Valkysas:
2 feet tall?
that'd explain the 100 dollar price tag.
now to figure out where the fuck I'm gonna put that thing. You don't?
Sideswipe Prime:
Wait! so devs is made up of vayagers ehh. hmmmmm...lets see...*mathtalkmathtalk*...
TO GET DEVASTATOR YOU NEED TO SPEND $140.00!!!!!!
My math:
$20 bucks each vayager
x 7 robots make devs
$140

| but we already know there's a set priced at 100. it's probably made up of voyager-sized figures. we've already seen one of them. based on what we already saw, they don't have very good individual robot modes.
we've also heard that the ones sold seperately will have individual robot modes, and not combine.
Fort Max:
2ft, as in 24", as in 8 whole inches taller then Unicron?
Not happening imo.
Veloxiraptor:
Somehow I can't imagine that EVERY piece is going to be Voyager-sized.
Soundwave84:
wow now that is some really exciting news i hope devy truns out really good.
SmokescreenGT:
A 2-foot tall Devastor would be sweet. Can't wait to see pics.

Not happening imo. | Your name sake was that big.
Valkysas:
for 100 dollars, we KNOW it's gonna be bigger than a supreme class figure. 2 feet tall sounds just right for that price point.

Scourge_151:
Ah, my supertanker full of salt has arrived.
I can therefore take this news  Deefuzz:
Ok my interest just raised a little bit.
I look forward to seeing a 2ft tall Devy. It will be interesting to see how they work this Pretender thing on screen.

"I know its the wrong forum but Devastator is sweet with a giant turbine sucking every thing in its path the figures of voyager class form to create 2 foot tall Devastator! theres a new Bumblebee toy with a human Spike figure which will be first in the range,they showed an awsome battle with Captain Lennox (josh duhamel) leading a squadron of helicopters to attack decepticons and Wheelie is a radio control car! who finds Jetfire, Witwicky family under attack in their household with the "dont stand on my grass" garden getting trashed and shot to pieces by mini Decepticons who look like Frenzy from the last movie. the Transformers 2 and Rise of Cobra footage was not clear or hd quality and it still kicked ass!" | (Fixed)
1.
2.  Would that be the China scene?
3. Rumble? Laserbeak? Buzzsaw? More Pretenders?
4.
I am loveing all of this info!
Slimaximus:
2FEET TALL OMG, I see the 1st leaked auction for him selling for over 500bucks

Given that Hasbro was just before Christmas, worrying how the recession would affect their sales and spouting all those lines about not wanting to make too many more toys pricier then $30 this all seems rather hard to swallow.
Finally I thought it had already been spilt by one of the chinese fellows that devastator is two voyagers for the body, four deluxes for the limbs and the extra deluxe that forms the weapon.
That seems far more likely and adds up to $90 at pre price hike costs, an extra $10 for the convenience of a gift set and any extra material/bonus bits/special paint jobs won't be hard to justify.
G1Wheeljack:
if Devy is 2ft tall then I'll get him individual bot modes or not(preferably with).
Ravenxl7:
Sounds cool, and it does fit in with what we've heard in the past. A 2 foot Devs would be awesome, and I can see it happening. Though at the same time I won't be surprised if he turns out smaller than that. Will just have to wait and see. Hopefully we get some pics of him from the New York Toy Fair, or at least pictures of something else. Some packaging samples of the new Leader class Prime figure, something to tide us over for at least a little while.
Blackout:
Can't wait til Sunday. Putting $ on the Steelers and watching the trailer. Nice.
Kickback:
A two-foot tall robot made up of voyager sized limbs?
How flimsy and unstable can that mess be?

and we already KNOW that at least one part is approximately Voyager sized, so i'm not sure why anyone is doubting this. he might not be a full 24", but there's no doubt in my mind he'll be significantly larger then Unicron and the other AEC era Supremes...

And, man, a Devastator figure that's almost 2 feet tall (btw, for the doubters, I believe this was pretty much confirmed by S250, whom has always been very reliable in the past, recently) is going to rock. At a $100 price tag that's not that hard to believe.
Fort Max:
I don't recall seeing S250 mention it would be 2 feet tall but it is beginning to seem as though I may be in the wrong here. 
Streetfield, thanks for posting, very interesting information, I'm amazed to see anything good come out of the UK toyfair.
No toys of the fallen is certainly unexpected, that pretty much solidifies the leader toys as Prime, tank megs and jetfire imo.

Man Hasbro and Paramount could build so much hype right now off of TF2 but they refuse to show these toys which would get us exicted for the movie, and the trailer that would get us excited for them movie.
Would love to see pics of Devestator.

Would love to see pics of Devestator. | We'll probably see this stuff at the NY Toy Fair in a few weeks.
Hopefully we'll get some nice pics of Devastator then.

they're all over building the hype, but the movie is still 5 months away.
