    If it can even stand. The big combiners/omega can stand easily because their center of mass is in line with their hips, knees, and ankles. Because of devastators posture they are going to have to have some majorly stiff ratchets.

    I don't think LS series scale properly even between themselves. Nitro Zeus and Starscream is MPM scale.

    It looks excellent. But right now I'm 4 deep into SS devy...., SS release aren't exactly impressive,and become shitter in the later waves....., dotm truck megatron is shit...., bb movie optimus looks crap.its not really the "premium" line they originally spun it as, it's just on par with a movie main line, but the figures have become slightly smaller, again. but atleast I know with that there's deffinately no die-cast.

    If it confirms no die-cast, I'll get it

    If an OS ko comes, without die-cast, I'd deffinately get it.

    Three modes means potentially 3 needed to buy

    It's just a movie line now. Just over priced and reduced scale

    I think I'm just going to stick with SS in terms of Devastator because It's cheaper and the individual Constructicons have been great stand alone figures so far. The only two figures I'll probably end up getting from this set are Scavenger and Long Haul who I'm sure will be a lot bigger then the SS figure. I don't really care about owning a massive and expensive movie Devastator though.

    Well, these are evidently not studio series adapted molds. The ss mix master and scavenger were shown at the con panel today (Canada???? ) the altmode for scavenger doesn't look amazing, abit angular and small treads and mixmaster has a huge block sticking out his back. Cheaper isn't always better I guess. Bombusbee win on those 2

    Now that Studio Series Voyager Mixmaster and Leader Scavenger have (finally) been revealed, here are compare/contrast imagery between the Hasbro and Bombusbee figures.

    The drum is very small on ss mixmaster, and the treads on ss scavenger look pretty cheap. And the huge back kibble on ss mixmaster too. It's disappointing. I think like alot of people I hope these were stolen ss molds, these look better, so I guess the higher price is justified.

    I wonder how hastak feel releasing these after seeing bombusbee work.

    I'm still going to get the ss ones, because I've already bought the 4 already released.

    Demolishor was one of my favorite rotf releases. I really liked the mold.

    Forgetting the extra kibble on the back of the altmode, it looked better than the ss one.

    Same with mixmaster exaggerated front bumper bars. They look abit cartoony.

    While I like the look of this mixmaster more, not going to pretend its more accurate. The SS molds are a lot more accurate detail wise and with the vehicles. still up in the air on which set I'll get but each has its ups and downs.

    As someone who will buy the Bombusbee figures if they're MPM scaled, I think the Hasbro versions look way better. But then we haven't seen final versions of either Devastator, which will determine whether the compromises on these figures were worth it.

    We still have to see more photos from different angles. Right now, Bombusbee wins for me.
