Generations Toys-GT-01 Gravity Builder (Devestator)

[Tober]

Our first actual MP scaled Devestator, I guess.

MP size maybe. But MP styled???

That looks terrible. On top of that, people aren't going to be willing to fork out premium dollar for something like this when there's an official badass being released shortly at half the price

Terrible? U can only see a silhouette. Official one is nice but in no way it's premium quality and detail, now I'm not saying this one will be premium quality and detail but in recent times these third party companies have really upped their game, so there will be plenty of people who will fork out big dollars for this.

Perfectly fine to make a judgement based on what I can already see - we all have our own opinions on what looks good and what doesn't.

A lot of people who were willing to pay premium for a detailed Devastator have already picked up either the Maketoys or the TFC versions. And with a pretty damn good official version coming out soon, I seriously doubt there'd be much of a market left for something like this - unless it's cheap and/or blows the other 3 out of the water with aesthetics. I just don't think it'll meet either of these criteria.

Warbotron is proportionally beautiful. The biggest problem i have with the official combiners like all the CW combiners except Devastator, is that they look like giant Apes. It's enough to turn me off buying them. Devastator however is day one buy for me.

I dont know about articulation or transformation etc But i think if warbotron is anything to go by, their Devastator should be at least awesome looking.

It looks big but not MP styled, not that you can tell much from the silhouette. and Hasbro's official Constructicons actually look quite geewun already although not much in the way of articulation. This company will need to bring something new to the table.

While I'm not currently interested in this from the silhouette, I don't think that's quite how toy collecting works, otherwise we all should have stopped buying toys of Optimus, Starscream and Grimlock a while ago.

I hear where you're coming from - but this only applies to collectors when it comes to official stuff. People generally aren't going to buy new reincarnations/versions of the same characters available in the third party market again and again simply because of price. Very few collectors will have the disposable income to buy a TFC/Maketoys/GT Devastator and an official CW one as well

I'm more interested in seeing how MMC approaches Devestator when/if they do. This one looks too puffy to me. Heck, I'd be happy to see Make Toys take another stab at a larger MP sized Devestator/Green Giant.

[leej84]

Agreed, giant is still the best looking and best engineered and best detailed devi out at the moment imo, calling for a oversized ko maketoys giant please lol

In other news. Apparently some company is making a ko version of Warbotron not bruticus
