    Except they showed a prototype of a figure in the team first, not just a fender or a silhouette.

    They did do a render on Breakdown only for announcing their Stunticon set. Same with Ultra Magnus and Shockwave. Having a physical figure for their counter-announcement is more of an exception.

    Yeah I dunno, for awhile, I thought NA was kicking ass, now they seem woefully behind since the vast majority of what they’ve shown is still only renders.

    Now I’m starting to think NA is setting themselves up to fail by constantly trying to put out the same characters, since MS will have already released theirs by the time NA do. It can’t be good always putting out the same characters late since a lot of folks don’t like to double dip.

    Oh well I’m not big into Newage so I kinda forgot that. But yeah i guess this would be more of an exception.

    Times like this, I think Newage might have been onto something going with their own scale. Harder for a MS-curious NA collector to bite when the figures in question aren't the "right" size.

    Honestly, this will come down to the combiner head. If it looks right, I’m in.

    Devastator was one of the G1 Transformers that, unlike Prime or Megatron or Skids, I thought looked worse with the yellow eyes. Obviously this guy will have the red eyes but it's just something I noticed.

    Don’t like the hollow feet/shins on Hook.

    If this is all they have to show, it looks like it's still a ways off. Which gives them time to hear what people say about the Magic Square version, and make design adjustments, hopefully.

    Reminds me a lot of the G1 toy with CrazyDevy upgrade parts. Has that same lanky feel in combined mode.

    Colors and individual head sculpt are very toy accurate as well!

    It's cool that NA is homaging the original toy more while MS is straight up cartoon goodness.

    I think that’s just all the polygons from his nose and face are showing so they look like a big mouth.

    Also NA is probably going for both Toy and Toon like they do for their other figures. Since the first reveal is a very obviously toon based head. I don’t think that implies they’ve changed designs either. I think this is just confirming they are doing both designs.

    Toy and Toon for this guy...I just might bite. This is shaping up to be another awesome NA release.

    There’s a lot of nice vehicle detail on the arms and legs, implying a nice real world vehicle alt mode. I still think they need to cut down the thigh length, he feels too lanky, and the head is odd right now. But it’s coming along, I suppose.

    New-age in their message few pages ago, says winter 2021.
    At this point is unlikely that they'll sell all team before early Autumn.
    For my wallet is better,because also Magic Square is releasing them and I want both versions.And surely also Magic Square won' t release all team in 2 months.
    Yes,for Devastator version ,NA could be the one to keep,for Constructicons, that I prefer in funny toon version than accurate G1 toys, Magic Square seems the best.
    Sorry if something is inaccurate,I missed for a while.

    Winter 2021 makes sense, especially when we have Bee/Cliff (plus potential repaints), three new Seeker repaints, Shockwave (plus repaints) and Prime/Magnus (plus repaints) all seemingly ahead of Devastator in the queue.
