Whish they'd put another toy in for scale.

Looks awful. The trade-off for having non-transforming components should have been an awesome gestalt, but what do we get? A monstrosity with stunted legs and an unpainted hasbro-grey head. Easiest pass in years.

Damn right. Might be an impressively sized toy, but the box certainly doesn't make it look sexy. I too wich to see it compared to another fo scale.

I'm a massive tf combiner fan and seeing this thread actually made me want to buy my first and only rotf figure! but no...he looks terrible. Looks like a boring "combine" transformation too :p

BOOOO!

Shouldnt it be posed to be on all fours, as it is shown in the movie?

Keeping true to the movie theme...damn fugly.

The quality of some of these ROTF figures is really disappointing... from what I can see in these images, I think Devs is the epitome of that!

An inside source recently informed me that they didn't call him Devastator as a G1 tribute - it's because his toy is so bad he leaves everyone who witnesses him 'devastated'. :(

The Constructicons lost their vehicle modes for THIS?

I never really noticed that until you mentioned it, but yea, looks very very plain. And that picture on the back is very much an out and out lie.

? Looks like robot modes were lost to me.

Clearer Pic (http://tformers.com/ig.php?mode=view&album=11646&pic=IMG_2791.JPG&dispsize=800&start=80). I still think/hope these are test shots though.

Yeah, the colours on Demolishor look Fisher Price. :/ But even if they improve the colours by release, the Demolishor mould itself looks like an oversized FAB.

Nope, looks about right to the voyager I saw @ bigw yesterday. Easy easy pass. EDIT: you mean scavenger right?

The voyager prime has a little moulded driver in the cabin though. Voyager screamer looks very good underneath too.

"Scavenger" comes with Devastator. "Demolisher" is the Voyager. When asked about it today in one of the panels, they said it's not an error and the difference will be clarified.

I have Voyager Demolishor, and as disappointing as that toy is, it's better than what I'm seeing of this Demolishor in the picture. Voyager Demolishor has better colours and better more detailed sculpting, whereas the Demolishor in the link pic looks like it has a simpler sculpt and combined with the brighter colours makes it look more PlaySkool.

I thought Scavenger formed the arm and Demolisher formed the backbone?

Scrapper is the arm. Scavenger is the name they have used here for what we otherwise know as Demolisher:

I was half-keen with this... but if the final looks like this - ... this ... playskool toy... I won't be up for it :(

This has been clarified:

*** SPOILERS ****

There are about 15 Constructicons and only 6-7 are needed to form Devastator at any one time, so Scavenger IS NOT Demolisher. This is also reinforced by the scene of Demolisher's head exploding in the ShoWest footage. Screenshot provided upon request :D

THe 'treat' we were shown at the Paramount party was a couple scenes from the movie, and one was the merging of Devastator. And the impression many of us got was that the central figure appeared to be absorbing rather violently the smaller figures, almost against their will. It was a fairly lengthy scene, like the intro of Optimus in the first movie.

THe other scene shown, for those wondering, was Bumblebee fighting 2 Decepticons. (not saying here who, because it's a spoiler).

ok..the 'playskool' colours you are seeing...i think is just bad lighting/camera flash. If you look at this one in the box...with seemingly less lighting, it looks alot better.

And who is getting this for the vehicle modes??? no one. So why the hell does it matter if its an oversize excavator...aslong as its not an undersize Devastator torso. but then again, ill be waiting for a price to see if ill get this.
