    I also have the 4 released SS Constructicons.

    But if Bombusbee's Hightower has better robot mode arms than Hasbro's, I'll...be...pissed!

    Here's the thing. Although the SS version will be a real-world scale Devastator, when has a combiner ever been depicted true to scale? My point is I will happily stand this next to SS figures just so he'll look extra imposing, like how Blackout was made large intentionally at the beginning of the movie.

    I’m Team Bombusbee right now, but I do like SS Scavenger’s robot mode quite a bit.

    Yeah studio series Scavenger looks a lot better and more accurate.

    I think that SS does the wheels better because they're supposed to be the treads.

    Agreed. SS Scavenger wheels and face look amazing. The Bombusbee wheels just look puny and bland in comparison now.

    Constructicons are my favourite designs from the movies so I want them all for individual bot mode display but also want the option of combining so can’t be cherry picking on an individual basis. I’m going with Bombusbee out of an assumption that they’ll have better transformations and kibble-management but I may end up getting OS SS versions in certain instances if the differences are as stark as they are with Scavenger.

    I dunno- Demolisher is such an incomprehensible mess of components that I think as long as both figures can stand up and stay connected then there won’t be much in it.
    For me it’s the individual bot modes where either brand will shine and seeing who makes the least glaring compromises to achieve the combiner mode.

    While i do agree, SS scavenger doesn't look like will give Devy's torso justice, lacks a lot of Devastator pieces.

    I think it's kinda a sacrifice for something, cause if you want a better torso, mixmaster and scavenger will have to suffer, but if you want better individual bots, the combined form might have to suffer because of that.

    SS Scavenger looks better in bot mode no question. Combined mode is still a mystery, but since he's one of my favorite rotf designs I'll definitely be getting the SS one, and maybe even two! I'll have to repaint one white.

    Bombusbee looks like less and less of a possibility for me with all this awesome SS stuff coming out at the beginning of next year, but I still wanna track this project because it has a lot of potential. Like I've said before too, if their Rampage has a good bot mode then I'll definitely at least be getting him.

    OK, so now a company is putting out oversized rampage. Is it worth getting?....., if hastak were bitter enough to shutdown zeta unicron, and that was original design pissing on theirs, and a bigger devastator would appeal to collectors, are they likely to kill this???

    It's not OS, it's a 1-1 isn't it?

    Black Mamba KO SS-37 Rampage

    If the height info given is accurate than it is a 1:1 KO, the only change being the pelvis being flipped right side round.

    Saved me money....., 1:1 scale....., blackmamba rebrand probably means unnecessary diecast......, easy pass then

    Just out of interest, what's the deal with the ss waist??? I haven't opened rampage, or any of them yet. Waiting untill I have them all in hand to combine
