Guess I'll be the sole voice of dissent, then. I don't really care for the look of the arm upgrades. The arms themselves are a great design, but they look too bulky compared to the vehicles they attach to, and the elbow connections look a bit spindly.
Granted, the original is not perfect either, but I personally do not like the way these parts look. I'll be happy with my original.
i'm not a big fan of the upgrade forearms either, but i do like the elbor connectors.
but, after adding all these kits up, i think it's starting to become more expensive then, if i was to actually buy a devastator, in a gift box, complete, it self
Love the review. Makes me wish I hadn't just sold my G1 Devestator. Now if you would kindly give us an upgrade kit for Predaking with individual Predacon upgrades as well then sir I'll be all over it.
Have the head and purple thighs, ordered directly from Crazydevy. Just ordered the hands and forearms last week from them (finally available again) and received a "thank you for paying" email that stated the parts will start shipping again in August. The initial demand must have exceeded their supply. I asked for the forearms for the original Devs (bought on ebay) but he is in storage so I don't know if it is the right set for him. I also have a yellow and an orange knock off Devs, but at the price the total set costs, one Crazydevy set is enough for them.
I was going to order them after getting a KO Devastator. I had heard KOtoys.com had ones that were exactly like the originals, so I ordered one, and got a few crappy ko's of Mickey Mouse that cost far less than what I paid instead. Anyway, these parts are very nice. I like the light up eyes, they didn't have to put that in. I may just order the upgrades first, and find a Devy on ebay. It would probably be cheaper that way, the constructicons wouldn't really need to be complete.
When I first saw the individual upgrades I wasn't so impressed, but now that I see it all together, it's really good looking. Or as Optibotimus might say, "fairly nice"
WTF?? I just checked my bbts pre-order and they moved the head and legs to June, the hands to July and the forearms to who knows when, they just say 2nd quarter

a couple people asked for a side by side comparison between the old look and new look. Since in only have one Devastator, this is the best i could do. I took two pictures and just put them together as evenly as i could, then put them in one picture. Hope it helps
thats a huge difference! night and day thats down right pretty
question to any one who owns this set, can the original forearms attach to the forearm extensions? because i like the original better but i like those extensions more lol
also, has any one tried this on any of the g2, versions yet, to see how well it looks?
i'd like to see a picture of that. *yellow one, would be really nice to see all suited up, as i do not have a g1, only a g2* lol
Are these shipping yet? I ordered the G1 version (not the KO version) of these arms months ago and haven't heard anything from crazydevy since.
so has anyone who ordered them directly from crazydevy gotten their set yet?
I wasn't here for the postman but he left a notice that specifically says Crazydevy.com and that I can pick it up tomorrow. I ordered the forearms and the grey legs directly from them, so I would say it is a safe bet they are out now. I'll know for sure tomorrow afternoon.

I've been looking for a set as well. If you find any let me know too!

Is there anywhere the purple thighs can still be bought? It seems BBTS and the Crazydevy website are out.

After seeing the first video of the improved devy, I actually went out and got me a g1 Devastator at a toyshow and pre-ordered the head and legs.
This was in "April" so I'd like to know what's going on with this order!

Wow, that set is a major improvement for Devastator. Might consider this sometime when I have the money to spend on it. Thanks for the review.
BTW, Devastator's right arm is Scavenger, not Hook.
CH@OS!
allrighty just checked todays mail and I got my CrazyDevy 08 parts and they are just as cool as they are in the review.

I doubt they are holding out on me… I have had the waist part on pre-order since early April. Anyone else get theirs yet?
