Combiner Wars Devastator Rumour

[CoRDS]

I'd be careful of what you wish for!

hahhaha thats awesome.

now lets just paint it green and call it devastator. no one will be able to tell the difference

It's misleading because whatever you pretend to yourself in your own collection, they aren't Transformers. It's a bit like describing a 1/144 Gundam model as deluxe-sized, and a 1/100 as voyager-sized. They aren't TF products, so the classification is wrong, even though it's broadly descriptive. Honestly, the fact that one particular non-Hasbro combiner is of a particular height doesn't mean that a new product will be the same. It's more than possible for Hasbro to create a much taller toy if they want to, especially if they are using six combiners.

Maybe they are transformers but not Transformers. Anal much?

Even transformers weren't transformers at one point ( now how do I put my tongue in my cheek )

I kind of want one...the lunch lady at one of my schools is a Disney nut, she'd love this.

As far as "Voyager" and "Deluxe" for 3rd party not-quite TFs go, it's a term of scale used for ease of reference. Technically, sure, they're not officially labelled "Deluxes" or "Scouts", but people understand what it means.
They're just toys, hey...it's not that big a deal.

How can something "broadly descriptive" be wrong when I am using it in a "broadly descriptive" way to compare products? That makes no sense. And I fail to see how whether the... robots I used for comparisons sake are official or not in any way validates/invalidates my argument like you seem to be implying. Because whether they have a HasTak stamp or not, they were designed to fit in with deluxes/voyagers/leaders.

We've been hearing this rumour for a while now. We have sources who appear to be reliable backing it up. There is no evidence against the idea. I'm sorry that you're feeling cynical, but as a fan of Transformers, I'm going to take the excuse to at least be a little excited for what we'll see at Toy Fair this year.



I'm not feeling entitled, nor am I "running down the street naked screaming" (I'll save that for when and if it's actually revealed). I'm simply excited about a possibility that sounds cool, and if nothing else, it means I'll be keeping a close eye on Toy Fair this year (like I do every year). Some people may choose to take it too fair, but all getting excited by the rumours shows is that you're enthusiastic for the hobby, which so many people seem not to be these days.

So my failure to believe every rumour I hear means I'm not enthusiastic enough for the hobby? Huh. Tell me more...


I WANT a titan classed, made up of 6 fully transformable bot Devastator. There are just too many things that don't line up for me to accept it as a given.

Alright ladies and gents, lets try to keep it on topic.

In general 3rd party discussion about 3rd party stuff should be kept to the Unauthorised section of the forum. That being said, the validity of a figure as a reference point is never going to be able to be settled as it is purely subjective, so we'll all just have to agree to disagree.

Finally, not gonna let any 'true fan' discussion start because that never ends well. Just gonna nip that in the bud.

Let's get back to discussing Generations Devastator.

If which we know nothing beyond a (possible) wholesale price and potential SDCC redeco?
