    I love this figure. I'm surprised on how the Constructicons Transform and how they all combine into Devastator. My thoughts.

    Mixmaster: I'm not too sure about him being a different Cement Mixer. But his robot mode kind of reminds me of Bumblebee man from Simpsons.

    Hook: All I can think about him is the riddle, "What walks on 4 legs, 2 legs and 3 legs?" Because he uses his crane arm as a 3rd leg.

    Scavenger: I'm surprised on how he transforms. I did not see that coming. However, I'm not really a fan of Scavenger, but an Excavator is my favorite Construction machine.

    Bonecrusher: I think Bonecrusher's Transformation is my favorite out of all of them. But as the video shows, the pelvis could be the most difficult to transform.

    Long Haul: Long Haul is still my favorite Constructicon and he is my favorite Figure out of them all.

    Scrapper: His Transformation is similar to the G1 toy, just a few changes.

    Devastator: 2 words. Want Now.

    Man....the elbow construction on these guys....Mixmaster and Hook have those god awful single hinge at the front elbows, while Bonecrusher has balljoint elbows that look good, Scavenger with ball AND hinge elbows that look even better, while Long Haul gets....well. What he has. And Scrapper gets ZIP for what reason? because he needs that in order to take all that wait? I say nay. My mind goes to the VERY strong ratchets used in CW Dead End figures. Hella strong ratchets for wrist swivels? Mostly, why? but also, they are super solid for such a small part, and I think they could have easily been used in Scrapper and he still would have been fine as a leg. I wonder if all this weird elbow stuff was really all due to cost cuts?

    But this is probably the main complaint that I have with these guys, because hot damn, I cannot WAIT for this set to come out. Its gonna be hard not to buy 2.

    The more I see, the less I am interested... I'd prefer pay double and get Green Giant!

    Lordy, this video is hard to watch. Chinese guy who made this, I know you aren't reading this reply, but I feel it needs to be said anyway: you do not need to stop and spend 30-120 seconds explaining every single fucking joint on the toy as you transform it. Even if I spoke your language this makes for an incredibly drawn out and boring overview of the toys. There's being thorough and then there's being pedantic; I obviously can't understand what's actually being said, but it is clearly well into pedantic territory.

    2 out of the 6 have good elbows, the rest could just use some 3rd party kit and I'd be all over it.

    We finally have the answer as to why Mixmaster and Hook have weird elbow joint's: it's an essential part of their transformation, as the forearms have to go completly out of the way to allow devastator to have good Ankle articulations and Hook to transform into an head.

    Yeah I'll have to wait for a proper review. Between the 20 minutes spent on each & every molded angle in the plastic per figure and the brutally slow buffering when trying to fast forward through this 8 hr review, I just gave up.

    Try watching it on your phone, for some odd reason, it worked perfectly that way for me.

    On my desktop, I couldn't even get past the 12 minute mark.

    Painful to watch, like most Chinese reviews. They take forever to transform super simple toys, each step taking like 5 minutes. And just when you think they're done with a step... BOOM! They undo it to make sure you understand how it works!
