    More concern for overload that's gonna basically bear all of the weight.

     Just a couple things:
     First Jetfire\'s gun mode and now this. I know it\'s not huge, but shouldn\'t the instructions be the same (aside from the language) since Hasbro and Takara\'s figures are now supposed to be the same?
     Secondly, are we 100% sure that Scavenger and Overload are leader class and not the new commander class? I\'m just wondering because I\'ve seen posts stating it\'s leader class, but I have yet to see anything official. Even looking at the prototype and knowing they were trying to keep a semblance of \"scale\", it would almost appear that at least Scavenger would be bigger than leader class size.

    He's carrying the whole team on his shoulders.

    Or at least 60% of it.

    I've seen some people raise some concern as to Overload bearing the entire weight of the figure, which, as funny as the name Overload is for a dude who forms the load bearing point, i don't think we have anything to worry about. I have a suspicion he will do one of those Roadtrap esq split his whole body in two and form the crotch that way.

    Lets assume that his hip joints will be some of the heavy combiner ratchets we've already been seeing. I got my hands on Rampage and let me tell ya the center ratchet that provides big dev with his ankle tilt is. HEAVY. I don't think tolerances and weight bearing is anything we gotta worry about.

    the next thing is, despite him standing on just his back legs in the promo images, Devastator has ALWAYS been depicted on all fours in a gorilla esq stance, so even if he cannot stand on only his rear legs (Which I'm certain he will do effortlessly) you can always pose him on all fours.

    Honestly the only thing im worried about is Mixmaster. I just want a red face plate, i think Dev has always looked better with red plates instead of just metal face plates.

    I\'m still wondering where the other two team members you see momentarily in the Movie disappear too.
    But that is as much a mystery as the whole 2 Rampages or \"Ze Little one\" seemingly being the left hand of Devstator when he was killed and left at the bottom of the Ocean.
    But his existance does at least clear up the Volvo excavator on the ship\'s deck at least I guess.

    I really pleased to eventually get some form of Overload and Scrapper though i\'d have paid silly money for a 3rd party toy of either of those even without the combination ability.
    Hopefully eventually they will repaint Rampage 2 (whatever that one properly should be called) in the proper yellow colours too.

    I\'ll be interested to see the Mixmaster toy a bit more clearly as I\'m curious how they will handle the robot mode.

    I'm glad they went the direction with this to not only do Devy but also the individual characters that matter. And unfortunately rampage was red.

    An unfortunate part about being a combiner. The need for accuracy in combiner mode trumped the color choice of the single d00d.

    No but I have never gotten super worked up about colors and perfect color accuracy. I'm more about a damn fun toy

    I mean I can see what you mean. The supreme one is just kinda too basic and not fun enough for me. It also doesn’t have overload or scrapmetal so it’s not entirely accurate.
