    Once again, I don't actually hate the overall look of the toy, but £100 is so far in excess of a reasonable price for the limited functionality that it's mind-blowing. I will buy this if it ever falls below about...£40, say. Possibly £30. If not, there's just not enough toy in there to be worth the while, and that's a shame, because and the end of the day I do want a nice big movie Devastator toy to round out my collection.... :(

    Me neither. That is one of the ugliest TFs ever, imo.

    I reckon we've got a contest on our hands for ROTF's biggest shelfwarmer! On one shelf, We've got Supreme-sized ActionMaster Devvy & on the other shelf there's Ultimate BB...

    & the winner (ie. loser) is = :lol

    I don't think I'd spend more than $30 on this figure. The fact that each piece doesn't have an individual bot mode just kills it for me. For $30 I can pretend that it's some Voltron-like figure from an alternate universe.

    This must be one huge and heavy box with him in his bot mode. The is a bit boring and it looks like a normal box. Its most likely the grainy pictures but he looks horrible in box. I will only buy him on clearence just because $100 is to much. I can buy 6 deluxes with that!

    This is starscream1701, life-long posessor of minority opinions, bringing you the dissenting opinion: An excellent looking thing and something that I will definitely be buying. As for the presence of only six Constructicons, that's all The Movie Universe book lists as making him.

    I'm thinking movie Devs will only be the 6 Cons in this set. Makes sense that in the legends combiner that they might need a seventh to beef up the body's proportion to the limbs since all of the figures need to be the same size roughly. This Supreme assortment benefits from multiple size classes (i.e. Scavenger is a leader sized figure while the arms and legs are voyager sized and deluxe sized respectively).

    But yes...I was hoping we'd maybe see some amazing features that justify $100...still waiting.

    Hmm... I guess it's kinda cool. I just think $100 is a bit much for a combiner whose limbs aren't fully transformable.

    Of course... when I see it in person and how big and awesome it looks I'm probably going to end up buying it anyway.

    *sigh*

    I'm going to give it a miss because the individual vehicles don't transform at all - I'm sure given the advances in toy engineering, it could have been possible. I also agree that the $100 price tag is excessive.

    Woah, so much cash for a walking gorilla made up of vehicles that transform into a feet, hand , body and head. And it looks kiddy. The body is so inaccurate. Mixmaster just sits ontop and has two flaps sticking out for some reason. Can his head even rotate?

    The laziness put into designing this mold is already disappointing, but the pricetag is just WTF. He is NOT 2ft tall and bigger than fortress. Freaking bullshit sources. Wow! I am sure sound bites will make my day. Who the hell cares about sound bites, its just another stupid reason for saying: Oh, we had no money to make the guys transform cause we though the sound bites were more COOL. In the end the batteries will just run out...

    Devy is pissed, maybe even more as time passes and more money is wasted on making dumb merchandise on him. Maybe there will be a devastator vacuum cleaner coming soon. Who knows?

    Over priced!!!!!

    I'm still on the fence with this one.:confused2  I just don't see myself shelling out $100 bucks for this but, I would probably get it if it did what the legend version did. I'll just wait until I see the nice sticker (red) on it then and ONLY THEN I'll buy it. I'll just go by once in a while and warm my hands by it. I'm going to buy the legends one it looks much better.:D ream:
