    No I'm not going backwards that far. When I hit 21 I'll start going up again... or just stay there.

    No one knows 100% for sure yet as it hasn't been revealed. All we can speculate it is a another counter building feature which we keep track of that comes with the Devastator Combiner starter that grants Devy additional benefits as it grows. We also know that along with the Constructicon Enigma, there are 4 more battle cards unique to this set and here too we speculate it will have something to do with putting another counter on the Tower.

    Devastator's face doesn't look menacing though.

    Unfortunately, this hasn't been highlighted much on the fansites, and few people seem to realize that Devastator was NOT one of the six combiners in the second series... it is a separate deck pack being sold separately like the Starter Pack for the first series, and is being released four weeks after the second series booster packs (main set) come out.
    From the official facebook page...
    ... and they said this when Devastator was revealed, noting that there was actually still one more combiner to be revealed...
    And the sixth "combiner" according to the official facebook page, was Dreadwing, not Devastator.

    Apparently Devy deck was shown off at this year's Toyfair. It appears to retail for $25 USD.

    I really hope that isn't showing some of the cards pre-folded. I hate the whole folding idea in the first place and if they're folding them for the in package display, that's really going to annoy me.

    Huh? After this reveal, many knew this was a set acquired outside that of Booster boxes. Even the title of this thread points out this is a pre-constructed deck releasing roughly a month later after Wave 2 boosters release plain as day and again stated within the thread. I fail to understand the point of your statement.
    That the Devy set was announced as its own pre-con was announced when Devy was revealed is *part* what comes with being revealed. Heck, many even speculated that if Devy was to be released it was most likely a stand alone akin to Metroplex deck. Here again, I fail to see your point.

    Sorry to say this, but if that pic is accurate, you're going to be annoyed. If this is of any consolation - it doesn't have to continue to be folded. The concern here was eventual wear 'n' tear after much use. If the rumors of the materials used on the creasing is true, being folded once or twice will do no harm/wear at all to the card.

    Oof. If I'm a collector I'm worried about the crease getting messed up on those two folded cards on the left side.

    There is already a thread about this topic. Devastator is a constructed deck coming out March 29! With box art image 'n' all. Can one of the mods please merge?

    (to all posters, pls check this entire sub-forum before making a new thread to ensure a thread does not already exists).

    What's with the 6 space grid next to the characters. You'd think Mixmaster & Scrapper would be the bottom two spots since that is where they end up.

    It's to denote their slot on the Devy pic. If you see the first post it does show Scrapper as the bottom slot (i.e. the legs). Why Mixmaster is the upper legs? I guess they had to fit the six slots into a some-what symetric form with the art of the character. Can't be 100% perfect all the time, haha

    What's even more funny is that the art for Devy's leg on Scrapper is Mixmaster in leg form and the art for Devy's leg on Scavenger is Scrapper in leg form. Maybe they accidentally mixed the slot parts when displaying the cards? I guess we'll see come end of next month.

    Considering the TFW news posting for the Devastator reveal noted that Devastator was one of the "six Combiners", when it wasn't, and only noted the March 1st date of the Booster Packs... while the official facebook page had to repeatedly point out to people on there that Devastator was coming out later (more people were posting comments about it being released with the other combers and not on its own), I didn't see too many people (other than yourself and this topic starter) noting that it was something they were going to have to wait to get later, and instead were talking about Devastator as if it was coming out March 1st in the booster packs with the other combiners. My point was that some people weren't seeing that there really was an oversight by the general public (as seen on the facebook page and fansites), and Devastator shouldn't have been revealed until after the Booster Pack reveals (we were all given specific dates by WOTC to reveal our ROTC cards, and the dates for my reveal of Dreadwing was after Devastator - so because of that, and based on the feedback posts online, it looked like Devastator was the sixth combiner to many people, to be released with the other five on March 1st in the booster packs).
    You probably didn't see that oversight by others because you had an interest in the TCG and payed attention to the specific details that many others missed (including me for the first couple of days, until the people at WOTC gave me the info to reveal with Dreadwing).
