    Fine, Devastator is not from my favourite Bayformers, but there will Leader class Overload, never seen in robot form in movie and no triplechanger Shatter and Dropkick.

    As the person above you pointed out, the individual Constructicons (based on what we've seen of concept art and revealed figures) are pretty unique in their own right and would make a great team display.

    That said, I get your concerns above weight. Overload being a leader is good, but he's going to be carrying the weight of a leader and a voyager directly on top while Scavenger will be holding two voyagers and two deluxes. Those joints will have to be pretty sturdy to keep it all together.

    The game versions were awesome I mean the PS2 version you need to survive his assault and slowly whittle down his armament by using the environment to knock off his shoulder cannons and shooting him in the eyes to blind him temporary just to survive him long enough to escape, when the big behemoth uses his suction powers, you needed to force feed him unstable energy canisters and shoot those as they were lodged in his mouth, ALA Jaws and that scene with the oxygen tank.
    plus this is pretty awesome moment from the 360/ps3/PC game

    So plenty of reasons to be excited if you were a fan of the games

    You think he will have the hip mounted weapons also?

    No surprise about the Leader class figures. 
    Unfortunately Overload will most likely not use the crab leg design. I just dont see how it would support the weight of the combined figure without falling apart.
    I imagine the heavy legs of the bipedal design would be well suited as Devastators thighs allowing the rest of the body to securely connect to Scavenger. Perhaps forming part of Devastators back or support for Mixmaster.

    I am already ecstatic about this series. This SS Titan class figure... (Place holder name) But if he can stand more less stand up like a gorilla or a bear, and have his big ass arms in a menacing pose. It might become my favorite Devastator.
    2 leader class figures is absolutely amazing!
    Has/tak actually giving us what we want is... or in this case something we didn't know we needed is absolutely fantastic. I love it!

    Come on and give us that Leader Class Shockwave... Come on guys you know you want to!

    Nice that they ended up 2 Deluxe, 4 Voyagers and 2 Leaders as opposed to what they said when he was revealed (all voyager and deluxe) Hopefully the engineering and joints are up to the task of carrying all that weight.

    I plan on getting two of each, one set for combined display and one set for individual since several have really unique robot modes, one of the things that gave the legends class toy such charm. Hope we get a Demolisher repaint of Scavenger and a yellow repaint of Rampage for screen accuracy, then I can have Devy and his mini-me on display...

    YES!!

    I never played the ROTF game but I did hear that it was one of the best movie games (in contrast to ROTF being one of the worst movies)

    I just noticed that Rampage is yellow in the combined image. I wonder if that is referring to a repaint or just an error?

    I think it's crazy that they made a leader class toy for concept art!

    As exciting that scavenger and overload are bigger and we will see them early 2020, we probably won't see them till SDCC or Hascon whenever that is.

    Woof, I'm happy for those who are interested, but this is an era of Transformers I'm eager to forget. I imagine we'll have a 3rd party testicles add on news story this time next year.

    I really do wonder how big Scavenger would turn out...or how any of those constructicons are going to retain three modes, for that matter. I'm very interested indeed.

    If I had the money my cronstructicon team would be:

    Devastator
    Demolisher (assuming they repaint scavenger)
    Scrapmetal
    Scrapper
    Rampage
    Mixmaster
    Long haul

    Based solely on characters that appeared onscreen.

    I was really on the fence about jumping in on Devastator, simply because of the price. But after thinking about how epic leader class Scavenger and Overload could be, I think I have to buy them. My poor wallet :/
    Time to preorder Rampage, Scarpmetal and Hightower...

    This now means that we now have 4 mystery voyagers and 1 mystery leader for 2020.


    Time for speculation for those.
