Not bad, but not Devastator either.
By J. Decelles
I used to have a complete Generation 2 Devestator set, and I was looking for something like that when I bought this toy at my local Walmart. At first it looked pretty great with vehicles that I kind of remembered from the oldschool toy but once I started playing with it I began to be dissapointed.First of all, Devastator was made up of 6 Construction vehicles, a Bulldozer, Crane, Dump Truck, Excavator, Cement Mixer and Front Loader. This toy only comes with 5 vehicles, and of the 5 two are cranes and two are Front Loaders. The last and largest is a Steam Shovel. This toy lacks the variety that original toy had, as well as misisng one character.When in vehicle modes, the toys are fairly sturdy. The Front Loaders are both pretty solid, and the Steamshovel is all right. The cranes are a bit floppy, the joints do not hold them in vehicle mode very well but they are not bad.In Singular robot modes, these toys are also pretty solid. Although because two of the robots are cranes and two are front loaders, there is not a lot of variation in the looks of the robots, aside from 2 being green and two being black. The Steamshovel character doesn't have a left hand, since his arm is made up of the Steamshovel bucket, but that is not a major issue, just an annoying design descision.My main issue with this toy is that when you combine the individual robots into the larger Devastator robot it is nearly imposible to move or pose the large robot without having an arm or a leg fall off. Each smaller robot forms and arm or a leg, and the Steamshovel robot becomes the chest and head of Devastator. Becuase each arm and leg has the same kind of connector any of the maller robots can become either an arm or a leg, which is really kind of cool, unfortunately the connectors that hold the smaller robots in place are kind of large hexagonal "nubs" that do not made very well with the holes in the smaller robots, which means that if you move the Devastator robot, they easily fall off. If you try to bend Devastator's leg at the knee (he has nicely joined knees) his leg will fall off. Overall the larger robot mode is very unstable.Another issue that was a little dissapointing is that according to the instructions sheet, one of the cranes forms a leg and foot, and one forms an arm. Whatever one you choose doesn't matter as they are both the same aside from color. To form the foot you have to attach the small robots "weapon" a kind of claw like thing, to the cab and to part of the crane hook. This makes for a somewhat unstable leg that easily looses "foot shape" which can cause the toy to fall over when displayed.Yet another thing that is a little dissapointing, and which the rest of the "Classics" transformers moved away from with their re-envisioning of older toys, was the reliance on accessories during transformations. The old Devastator toy had about a dozen small parts that came together to hold the large Devastator in robot mode. This toy does that to a similar but slightly lesser extent. For this toy you only need the accessories if you want your Devastator to have feet or hands. But it is still annoying trying to keep track of lots of small accessories since they do not store well on the toys, and if you lose them you can no longer transform the toy into Devastator.This toy is actually a re-color of a group of Transformers: Energon figures, also called the Constructicons, but who, when combined formed a character called COnstructicon Maximus. Only the Steamshovel is intelligent, with the other 4 robots being "drones", its easy to tell this is an Energon recolor, because this toy comes with a small Energon plug that plugs into the decepticon symbols found around the smaller robots.I gave this toy 4 out of 5 stars, despite all my complaints, because the smaller robots are all well made from quality plastics. And although the toys combined mode is flimsy, it is still a neat gimmick and is not really any more flimsy than the original toy. It would have been nice to have these technical problems fixed.

Looking for the vintage one, don't think so...
By Luis Quesada Bolaños
"Are you looking for devastator as you remember him from the good old times?? well this is not the one you saw. bonecrusher and scrapper are the same only different color, long haul and high tower as well, and in the original each and everyone of the were diferent. and there were six instead of 5. so if you want something that will wake your inner child don't buy this one."

Fansproject, hear our cries!!!
By Will and/or Caroline C.
If you're looking for G1 devastator... look elsewhere. First off everyone knows Devastator is made of 6 different constructicons, not 5. Secondly Hasbro has gotten lazy in these packs and pumped them out with 2 recolors of the same robots/vehicles twice over. Basically you're getting 5 robots and 3 different vehicles (the other 2 vehicles are just repaints of ones already included). Hasbro did it with this Devastator, they did it with Bruticus, and they did it with Superion.The individual figures themselves are pretty well done actually and are simple enough to transform between robot & vehicle without instructions. But we all know that everyone who bought this bought it for the combiner mode. Well, it looks like hell... no way around it. Pincers for hands, poor limb articulation. Don't get me wrong it looks a little better than the Bruticus, but that's not saying much.Hopefully Fansproject's latest Crossfire project is aimed at fixing this.Hasbro Bruticus vs. Fansproject Bruticus:[...]
