Combiner Wars Devastator Rumour

[Bidoofdude]

I agree, a Titan sized Devastator could be cool but everything's a guess at the moment - besides price.

Plus apparent 'eyewitness reports'. Hopefully leader Ultra Magnus turns out to be true, as well as Devy.

I still wish it would be a gift set of new molds. I think the new combiner wars stuff is at least to some degree a statement from the new design team, to the fans and third party companies: "hey, even we have a strict pricing structure and cost control, we can still make some cool official combiners!" And after giving us all these nice new combiners, they'd decide to entertain us with a G1 devastator, might as well drop the whole combiner wars in the first place.

As suggested above the new molds can be sold separately later, either as repaint or remold, or in a gift set again as convention exclusive, to make up for mold costs.

So according to a source on TFW it's an all new mold of voyagers and one leader and is the size of Gen Metroplex

I'm not 100% sure, but I think that source has proven to be good for information in the past, too - I certainly recognise the name although that could be from too much lurking on TFW. I really hope it is a huge, articulated, new figure on a par with Metroplex. Having the two battling on my shelf would be well worth the cost.

Apparently yellow redeco for SDCC??

My wallet has obtained internal injuries just from me reading this, and I'm okay with this

The BOX is Metroplex sized according to the rumor, not the figure in combined mode.

Yeah, if the bots are voyager sized, then no way is this thing going to be Titan class in combined mode. All of TFCs combiners and Feral Rex have voyager sized limb bots and those are nowhere near Titan sized. At best Hasbro Devy will be the same size as Hercules.

This sounds like exactly what every adult collector would hope for - which usually turns out too good to be true. On price alone, would it be viable to produce something potentially double the cost of Gen Metroplex and risk deterring large segments of their main target market?
