Combiner Wars Devastator Rumour

[Golden Phoenix]

To quote Golden Phoenix "why not have both?"

If they were going to do a MP Devstator it might indeed be as a complete set with voyager sized components. Take out the diecast and special paint aps and who knows you might end up with something Hasbro would sell at the Titan price point in their Combiner Wars line.

New Prowl sold seperate that can combine? Would be cool I guess, but I'd never buy it. I've sworn off chug for a long time now, but superion has got me interested (thoough a chopper as a limb irks me), and devestator would be sweet too if same scale, as menasor doesnt interest me much, just looks meh.

I would really appreciate a solid combiner that includes Scrapper, with no engineering sacrifices to incorporate a new IDW Prowl, nor the ugly possibility of jamming in Classics Prowl.

Hear hear! Wholeheartedly agree with this. Not everyone reads the comics and the idea of a combining devastator / prowl is very strange indeed

Not everyone who reads the comics likes the idea of Prowlastator.

I'd just make it based on the original six and let third parties work out a Prowl/Leg-Hook if people are really wanting it. Chances are the Prowl/Constructicons dynamic will be over at some point and either Devastator will have Scrapper back as Leader/Leg, or they'll be dead or something.

I'm personally holding off buying Universe Prowl, Bluestreak or Smokescreen with the possibility of a new one,

The sad thing is, unless the new one is Voyager class, chances are the old one will likely be superior.

What does IDW Prowl even turn into these days? Space 4WD truck or something? I honestly can't tell.

They could have Prowl as the additional "Targetmaster" for the gestalt group (similar to Generations Powerglide for Superion). He could simply be a Legends scale figure included with Hook who can transform into a vehicle and alternate head module for Devastator; even if it's simply clipping onto Devvie's head like a helmet or "Headmaster" module (à la Animated Leader Bulkhead).

This is a great idea.
They could possibly get around the Hook-as-leg issue by having dual-purpose pegs at either end that would work to both stabilise the shoulders and form a leg...it'd be tricky and probably out of budget but I imagine if they played with chest width and leg length a little then HTT could engineer a Hook mould that could be either a foot or an upper chest.
Of course, that would mean people wanting an IDW-accurate Prowlastator would need to buy 2 Hooks, but I doubt Hasbro would mind that all that much.
