Combiner Wars Devastator Rumour

[FruitBuyer]

Not sure how I feel about an updated Devastator dwarfing all other combiners so much.

[Ode to a Grasshopper]

Yeah, I'd much prefer him to be in scale with the others.

[CBratron]

Better off matching sizes with other Combiner Wars sets?
On the other hand the extra size could mean they can accommodate the extra complexity for a Prowlastator combiner.

[FruitBuyer]

It also really restricts what other Voyagers we can get next year. There goes any chances of Galvatron unless they're going to retool him from Silverbolt.

[ChlorHex]

Great news if this is indeed true.
Saves me from chasing down a reasonably priced Herc.

I have zero problem with them being voyager if it turns out to be true - all those construction vehicles are bigger than those that make up the Stunticons for example (since Motormaster doesn't have a trailer and all). Predaking was always accepted as bigger than the other Gestalts in fiction, even if it was only by a head. I reckon the Gestalts should be different sizes based on the alt-modes/bots that comprise them and how many different bots they comprise. Though I suppose by that reckoning Superion should be huge!

Even if we look at IDW, Menasor was only about 3 times the size of Ultra Magnus, yet Devastator was smashing gigantic bridges with one punch and crushing jet fighters in his hand

It'll be funny if they wanted to go with properly scaled ones. Silverbolt would be nearly Menasor and Defensor combined and Superion would be bigger than most of main combiners combined.

I'm pretty sure people don't really want to-scale Scramble City gestalts or Superion and Menasor would look like thalidomide victims, and Defensor and Bruticus would be mutants.

[UltraMarginal]

It could also end up being a redeco of ROTF Supreme Devastator, since that's never been re-released. Just to terrify everyone.

In chrome silver.

You're both bad people.

*backhanded slap across the face* Never say that again!

I agree

the rumours look pretty solid. could end up being a pretty exciting year for transformers next year.

Classic Superion wouldn't be that bad since all the limbs are jets. Same with Menasor. It's Defensor and Bruticus that would be ridiculous.

Oh I dunno, if you swapped them round a bit Defensor could have First Aid and Streetwise as legs, chop Blades in half to make the two arms and Groove could be.... I dunno... a belt?


Edit: You know I wrote the above as a joke but now thinking about it, if Groove turned into a gun.... it could actually kinda work
