Revenge of the Fallen Toys comments/discussion

My recent acquisitions of Jolt and the ice cream twins came with the latest catalogue which shows Supreme Class Constructicon Devastator - now I must confess that I haven't paid too much attention to this toy because I'm just not that interested in it, so this probably won't come as news to most of you - but I only just noticed that Supreme Devastator is missing Overload!

Wow. Just when I thought this set couldn't suck more and that I couldn't be more uninterested in it than I already am... oh well. Saves me money.

Do we get a great look at exactly how many vehicles form Devastator in the film? I assumed it was seven myself, but I'm not certain.

At any rate, I'm glad that the EZ (Legends) Devastator has the extra toy, since I quite like Overload.

On an unrelated note... I opened up Mr Whippy yesterday. I know that the ROTF toys are gaining a reputation as panelformers, but this set takes the cake. The rear half (Mudflap I think) is a robot hidden inside a box of panels. I still like them, but it's awfully obvious. At least the BW Neo shellformers generally has some significant morphing to do once out of their shell of panels - Mudflap pretty much just stands up.

... I might even consider selling off some of my non-movie toys from the first movie. Hrmmm...

I think that like Hightower, he appears only in vehicle mode and we see him form Devastator, but he never transforms to robot mode. Oh yeah, the catalogue also seems to have swapped some of the names around too. (-_-)

Is anyone else finding the bonnet of the ice-cream truck just won't stay down? Skids' head keeps on pushing it up on mine.

EDIT - Cheers Goki.

You need to pull the hood ornament up so that it can clip over the front of the bonnet and hold it in. The hood ornament slides down in robot mode so as not to obscure the head as much so it needs to be pulled back up when transforming back to vehicle mode.

I remember seeing Overload (in vehicle mode) drive into the quarry with the other Constructicons before they formed Devastator. Considering that all the others are indispensable in forming Devastator, there were thus seven vehicles.

blazemaster - best left in alt mode

does the blue tail section snap into place anywhere? and the white piece on top? they just kind of dangle there

The big combiner set only has six vehicles, which is one of the reasons people like the EZ/legends set because it has an extra Constructicon (Overload).

I recall someone saying there were nine in that scene, but each time I watch it (six times now, plus the preview at BotCon), I can only count 8. There were two already parked in the quarry (Longhaul and Hightower), three drive into the quarry (Mixmaster, Overload and Scrapper), and two on the ridge (I can't recall who, but one would be Rampage and the other was a duplicate). Since we saw poor filming on part of the Director on the cargo ship (the four constructicons going to revive Megatron), it is possible that a nineth was spotted during the merging - as Hasbro suggested at BotCon that Devastator is made up of as many Constructicons as it needs (hence the masses of duplicates/clones). Maybe there was meant to be some back-story about it, which was dropped to trim down an already long movie.

I also count 8, although you've only listen 7. Perhaps you just forgot to note Scavenger driving in with Mixmaster, Overload and Scrapper? Also it's definitely a second Long Haul that appears on the ridge with Rampage.

I can see how others might say there are more than that 8 when they look at the completed or near completed image of Devastator, e.g. perhaps they see extra crane shovels, but I think that's just fake kibble in the combined mode's CGI model. There are definitely only 8 seen in vehicle mode before the transformation begins.
