    So Scavenger's Wheels are meant to connect to each other.

    Good to know. Looks like Overload or Scrapper comes with a neck cover for Mixmaster as well. Maybe this isn't as mistransformed as we thought

    THAT explains why it looks so wrong. If Scavenger is backwards then Mixmaster is on backwards and the arms are actually on right

    Mixmaster isn't even put on the correct part of devastator, nor is it even transformed correctly. The tabs from the grinder piece that comes with overload doesn't tab into the cab of mixmaster like it should, and none of the panels surround it to give it that movie look. And if you look at tonton's review of demolisher's combiner form, it seems as if mixmaster has to be mounted on the front of the combiner mode, not on top, like what they did here

    Yeah it looks like there's a seam in overloads torso/chest right where Devy's waist is.

    I definitely see what you guys are saying, but all that detail of Overload has to be in front. But in that case, how did they manage to attach Scavenger to the prototype at all? Also, how will Mixmaster connect to Scavenger with Overload's detail in the way? Hm...

    I would like to find out in later reveals. Maybe all we need to see from the front is the crotch and the thighs, since he'll be hunched over. The rest of Overload would end up on his back somehow.
    Edit: To help wboender out here's the concept with similar robot details and a flipped pic:

    i think the detail on overload is for his robot mode. you can see the back of his head and neck is on a hinge that flips to where the “enemy scrotum” is on devy. overload could be backwards and the detail shown could be for his individual robot mode, not devy.

    edit: looking at overloads concept art, confirms my suspicion. detail matches up with overloads torso, he just does a handstand for combined mode. things are mistransformed obviously.

    The legs look like they split. That means it's the crabtaur.

    Also Hightower's 'hell is wrong with you?' look is still hilarious

    Argument for 'it's transformed correctly':

    In TonTon's review, the 'giant arm pistons' look of Devastator's shoulders that are there on Scavenger are facing backwards. On the MCM sample, they are facing forwards.

    I could be wrong, but I see the bipedal concept's toes (turned sideways) connected to thin ankles, molded wheels in each thigh next to the kneeguards, with wheels that seem to fold up towards Overload's hips behind said kneeguards. It would make sense since the old legends version was bipedal.
    Maybe the piston details are for Scavenger's bot mode? Or they could possibly rotate around so the scoops face down like the Legends version and you get piston detail and a rounded upper shoulder area.

    Even if it was put on correctly, there's no way mixmaster's head is in the proper place. Plus, it's terribly mistransformed

    Edit: I'm p sure we'll never get a proper 4 legged overload from Hasbro

    I'm sure everything im about to say has been said already, but...

    Yeesh. I'm glad i jumped off the Devestator train and sold off the few i had. I was very excited to get the full Devy, but even with mass mistransformation and poor show, this looks nothing like the prototype. I know that the prototype was pretty much a sculpture with the feet and arms, but this is so far removed. It's a lot of engineering to give these characters screen accurate bot, vehicle, and combined modes, but out of those three things I'm pretty miffed that the one to get the boot seems to be the combined mode.

    Here's to hoping that you can sling mixmaster farther back and angle the head up to get that real harsh ape posture, maybe he's looking a little goofy in these photos because he never stood on two legs in the movie, and this figure is designed to be on all fours. Heck the promo image at the start of this thread shows him super hunched. he looks like a triangle with a weird bulby head right now. Maybe it was an issue of trying to fit him into the display case? Heres to hoping we get official stock photos sooner rather than later.

    oh man if we're getting crab king Overload im gonna scream, thats more exciting to me than the full Devastator reveal. I find it kinda funny that most people here are so excited about Overload and just dont seem to care as much about Scrapper. Maybe its due to the mystery surrounding him since we never really got shots of him in the movie and he has several concepts, maybe its because crab king > humanoid, who knows.

    Don't care what looks wrong now, or how they assembled it wrong for the display.
