Well... it's not like we are getting enjoyment from people having real world problems. We are quite good here in being considerate enough of others to not be mean.
This is just harmless amusement of people who are assumed to be adults, crying over something toy related as if it is the end of the world for them...

but what if its the one thing that sets off a man-child into a rage of epic proportions. a man-child who happens to be a quick study, has unlimited funds, is some kind of evil sociopath genius who then focuses his or her efforts day and night on the destruction of man kind via Total protonic reversal.Originally Posted by griffin

On the lookout for MISB Headmaster Highbrow, Takara or Hasbro. I'm sure I could make you a sweet deal!

This TFW2005 post seems to lend more credence to the titan rumors. It shows case assortment number count. With generations Devastator being in a 2 per case like metroplex was.

Six G1 Constructicons in an oversized big Platinum box (like the Insecticons) could also be two per case. The Encore Constructicon boxes could fit two a case. I don't think it adds anything more than telling us retailers have to order two of them.
Has everyone forgotten how there was a glimpse of Devastator in the background of a Designer Desk video last year. And then how when we got a good view of it in this video ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AW_k_JQ5nQU ) we saw it was very clearly G1 Devastator. On the shelves of new product, including rereleases like MP Grimlock.
Just saying.

They'd be in a Generations style box (probably black like the rest of the line), rather than Platinum.
If the reissue thing is so, could we possibly see Defensor as a reissue set additionally?
Then again, we have listings for deluxe and legends protectobots, so it could just be that.

It's starting to lean more towards being something like TF2 Devastator or Metroplex - big but very simple.... and a general release, if a store wants to risk such an expensive item.
It's certainly interesting re-watching that Hasbro video in Paulbot's post, and wondering if the Gen1 Devastator and Defensor were there intentionally, as a hint of other new Combiners, or advance warning of reissues.
Because all the other toys behind them (which is an intentional display, not someone's random cubical shelving), are mid 2014 to early 2015 toys... making it an obvious question - why are those two Gen1 combiners intentionally placed there.

Metroplex was simple now?
To weigh in again: it could be a G1 reissue, but if it is, why would it be sold in the Generations line (as the most recent product listing indicates) rather than the Platinum line where literally all other G1 reissues appear to be going? The same question applies if it's a redeco of TF2 Devastator (which I still think it could be). On the other hand, the moulds may have been designed to be sold separately later: for example, they could be recoloured to match TF2 Devastator. It's not Hasbro's usual MO, but if the size is the USP, they might go for it - it's not like they haven't been experimenting with all aspects of the marketing lately.

it's true that in this video they have G1 Devy there, but right next to him is a G1 Defensor. and we already know that a new Combiner Wars set of Protectobots is on the way Featuring Blades, Streetwise, First Aid, Rook and a legends Groove.
so it's possible that those two are there more as plaeholders for toys still in development at the time of the video. or as a hint of what's to come. after all, there was no G1 Bruticus or Predaking or anything there.
while it is still true and entirely possible that this new devastator could end up being a G1 reissue, especially given how expensive those new Insecticon reissues are, I'm personally in the "New Combiner Wars Devy" camp. that said if it turns out not to be a new toy or it ends up being the G1 reissue I won't be too upset.
it'd be cool to have a titan devy, but I won't lose sleep one way or the other.
just like I'm not losing sleep over not getting a titan metroplex when I had the chance
