Also they don't want the "toy" versions to cut into the sales of the "animation" versions too much.

 

First time I'm noticing the added paint to Hook's arms.

 

here they are
Scapper is very nice same for mixmaster alt mode,now I am tempted by their G1 version combiner,my poor wallet

What do they mean by '3 factories competing'?

 

With those lips and eyes cover more similar to sunglasses than a visor he reminds me Terminator in 1984 movie   . Is different from toon but variations keep a very beautiful toy.

 

Is just translation error, I think they try to say 3rd Party factory. 

 

After seeing all those images showing how the torso bots are just plugged into the shell...my only hope is that they learned some lesson for their next combiners

 

Should be referring to NA, MST and MFT?

 

You mean human error? The translation is correct, he did say 3 factories. What he meant to say, we can only speculate.

MFT only hinted, but never confirmed anything, no? Can't remember.

I thought the OSKO Stunticons would be under their name, but now it's BW. Maybe BW is the 3rd factory as well.  

 

The impression on first read is that he is talking about Constructicons, so who else is making one? None.

Then I thought he is generalizing the situation. Competition is good, but not when you rush a release to beat others.

 

Screencaps:


New combined Vehicle mode? Lol...

 

lieutenant dan-vestator???

 

lol...isnt this the exact scenario that played out for them.

all and all im definitely glad NA finished their devy he just isnt the one for me. everything about it gives me issues with the exception of a few of the bots.

but now that this is circus is finally complete maybe they can go back to original bots again.

 

...
So the actual Transformers of this combiner are the partsforming parts, gotcha.

 

I don’t collect Magic Square stuff (I’m just not a big fan of the plastic they use, despite my admiration for their overall designs), so personally I don’t mind if NewAge produce more bots that other companies have already tackled. I’d love to see the NA versions of the Stunticons, and if they ever did a Perceptor, Cyclonus, Trailbreaker, Blaster, Inferno, Sideswipe etc., then I’d definitely consider getting those also.

 

Shame the hip skirt connections are still purple. Really thought NA would make them green like they should be. They stick out like a sore thumb to me. Everything else looks fantastic though. Hopefully I’ll have my mini Devy in 4 weeks time!

 

I'll admit that while I was happy to collect the bots individually, these photos are the first ones of Devy combined where I'm thinking, hey, that looks pretty good. NA has a tendency in their photos to pose everything straight and stiff.. like the old toys.. but they look so much better splayed and feet twisted out etc. Megs is a giant case in point, he looks awkward and lanky 'neutral', but great posed.

I know it won't look as imposing as the MS combined version, but overall I'm super happy with the feel and look of the NA bots, and a combined mode that looks better than I thought is the cherry on the cake.
