Very nice Hotrod

 

Tf source out up the pre-orders for the devil savior Devy and...oh boy...this combiner is gonna be darn near $1000. Scavenger alone is nearly $200. This is gonna have to be a pass for me.

 

Good grief is he made of gold? How tall are the individual robots?

 

This shows up after I had a dream last night that devy we a yellow belly. By that I mean overload was yellow not red.

 

Damn, that looks so much better. This needs to be front-paged! @Yaujta

 

Finally transformed Bonecrusher. Now if only i had a Frenzy.

 

They are MP scaled. So this will be a big guy. 7 Figures spread out of 1 year (I'm predicting more like 2 years with usual delays in design and manufacturing we see in the 3rd party scene) is not a bad cost in my opinion but I am only collecting MP scale movie bots as far as TF goes right now.

IMHO TFSource is the worst place to order 3rd party stuff, I'd stick with the Asian storefronts if interested. Personally I buy everything at ShowZ these days. They don't have final prices listed but they will be the cheapest game in town (I'm predicting around the $50 to $100 range) and their CS is stop notch. Only downside is shipping can be slow (US Customs loves ot hang onto packages from China extra long). Average is 3 weeks to get something in from them here in So Cal. But even that is not bad, because if you preorder and pay for it as soon as available you often have it hand well before US retailers get their stock.

 

The only thing better than the MCM London reveal is the hunched over pose. Everything else is even more mistransformed than before.
Still, we have more shots to look at so that's a positive.

 

He at least looks like Devastator now.

 

It does as far as overall posing, I agree.
It could be so much better though, seems like the staff rushed again.

 

I think he's probably the most accurate for a transforming figure. I do hope a third party takes a stab at him though, because things could be done better.
Excellent review though!

 

Oh man loving that Hot Rod!!!! How did you change up his chest? Please do tell!!!

 

He is just a little to big.. I might need to rethink if I want to keep him.
Here he is in altmode with the rest of the 1:39 autobots.

I added a hinge on a balljoint to make them movable

Ill make a buildtread soon

 

Damn, I didn't he realize he was that big, that's gonna be a pass for me then.

Your Hotrod looks really awesome!! It's crazy how much better you make these toys!!

You made me wanna make mine better. I shaved down the shins of mine, and used the rubbery section of an old AOE Crosshairs as his shins guard, which I think looks a little more accurate.

Now I just gotta paint them. I'm trying to get his feet fixed ass as well.

Whoa!! So glad that I started buying the Constructicons!! This Devy looks awesome!!

Definitely the best one yet!! My order still says "PreOrder, All Payment Received Waiting for Release", even though ShowZ says he's in stock. Anyone having this issue??

 

Thank you!
What plans do you have with the feet on your Hotrod? Bumblebee feet?

what prime is that? Is that the BMB OS MPM?

 

Now that looks like a Devastator! A few 3rd party addons (like middle launchers) and he’d be perfect!

 

Better pics have been posted. And I mean better.

 

I'm actually thinking about using RB's feet. I'll have to cut them, and glue then on top of Hotrod's feet.

Then I'll paint them, or even add other materials to look more like this

It's WJ's Prime

 

Interesting.. they look more like Crosshairs feet trough, I have junkerparts of him laying around if you are interested?

edit.. here they are:
