Haha, I liked that last plot twist!

Except you TOTALLY GODDAMN PRE-EMPTED IT with your stupid "MAKE HIM EAT A ROLEPLAY TOY!" request.

Dammit, that was the punchline I was planning for ages!

So one of the guys over on the allspark asked me a little question about Devastator:


[quote name='CatSCAN PhD' post='1365598' date='Oct 20 2009, 10:44 AM']Hey Boltax, does Devastor pull off any really good poses on all fours that make him look threatening? Like a "sucking up the sand" pose? With his short little legs, he just always looks so goofy to me standing up. Does he have the head/neck articulation for it? Is there any way for his head to not lay so far back on his shoulders? I think these are the big parts that bug me about him...[/quote]


This is actually one of the more reasonable and intelligent questions/criticisms I've heard of the toy. Yes there is a problem with the fact that he's not designed after the four-legged stance of the movie, he's given a more crouched trollish stance. I don't mind it one bit. He looks great -- but I could imagine it could bother some.

So can he effect a crouched on all fours stance?

Well... here's his usual stance. Forgive the photography -- it's late in the day so I don't have very good lighting.




Basically, his usual pose is a troll-like crouch, posed in front of a pile of toys waiting to be stood up in a display and my Doctor Who collection. Stupid Doctor Who DVDs got in the way of a lot of these shots.

You'll notice that Devvy has his mouth locked open in this pose -- this elevates his head, bringing his eyeline up.

Just for fun here he is with his jaw unlocked and... ehnnn... chasing a Cyberjet.



Is it possible for Devastator to assume a crouched pose and still be menacing? Well, that is a question -- you'd think it would be easy, but it's not. I found that I had to mis-transform one of his arms a bit to get decent support out of that hand and to bend his back legs really far back. With his jaw locked in place his head is high enough that he's still looking at you and still really menacing. It's pretty good.



Not bad, right? Well... let's see him from another angle... with the Cyberjet there for scale too.




In this pose Devvy is too big for the little table I use for these photographs -- he's just hanging off the edges of it. He absolutely TOWERS over that poor Cyberjet.


If you don't pose him by mis-transforming a few of his parts (Which honestly, you wouldn't really notice), his crouched pose looks a little bit more like this:



Not the best framing on the picture, and I appologise for that... almost none of the photos from this set turned out. Anyway... yeah... he's looking pretty much straight down, even with his jaw locked open.

And with it locked shut it's even worse:



...

GOD DAMMIT DEVASTATOR! YOU ATE THE CYBERJET!!

Well... I guess this demonstration is over then.

EPISODE 12 OF "CAN DEVVY EAT IT"!!

Today we have a very special episode of Can Devvy Eat it...

A POP-CULTURE EPISODE!!

That's right... CAN DEVASTATOR EAT POP CULTURE?

So where do you even BEGIN To tackle such an insanely huge topic? Seriously man... how do you do it? Well fortunately Popular Culture can be easily divided into three simple categories. We all know them well -- the three categories of pop culture are ingrained into us:

1) Star Wars
2) Comic Books
3) Nazis.

As we know, all other popular culture falls under these three categories. So... let's see how Devastator goes tackling them.

First of all... THERE'S STAR WARS:


Ahhh Star Wars. The story of a lonely robot and his quest for companionship with a mobile letter box. It's classic tale spiced up by a strange futuristic setting that's supposed to be the distant past. Also, laser swords.

There's a lot of laser swords in Star Wars. Man, that crap doesn't even make a lick of sense.

Star Wars is the pillar that nearly all popular culture from film, toys, and child prostitution are built around. Can Devastator possibly face something that BIG? I mean, seriously... Star Wars is FREAKING HUGE!! There is nothing else in all the world like it.

WOULDN'T DEVASTATOR SEEM LIKE NOTHING MORE THAN AN ANT COMPARED TO IT?!!?!




DON'T YOU FRIGGING BELIEVE IT, PUNKS!!

Oh yeah, it takes more than head-bumping-clone-guys-with-bad-aiming-skills to stop Devastator.



Feel free to insert your own Sarlac joke here -- I've got only one thing to say:
OM NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM!!

Well... that's the big one down. But now for more of a challenge... an enigma.

COMIC BOOKS.


Today we've represented comic books with some BELOVED, CLASSIC AND POPULAR characters from the world of the two big American Comic Book Houses. Oh... and Omega Red.

Actually... who is that kid there? Mighty Max?

Ahhh, who cares... we're not here to ask stupid questions. We're here to ask CAN DEVVY EAT IT?!



Flash! Ahhh-ahh!

(Queen is tied to Flash, which puts them under the umbrella of comic books. The three categories are all-inclusive like that.)

We all knew that Devvy was going to triumph here, didn't we? I mean, he's THE FREAKING DEVASTATOR. Incidentally -- Devastator is based on a character from a comic book, so by eating comic books HE HAS EATEN HIMSELF. Don't believe me? Check out this picture:



So as you can see, for all those people asking me to see if Devastator could eat himself -- HE HAS. He's done it in the most awesome way possible.

SYMBOLICALLY.

I bet you couldn't do that.

So what does that leave? Of course, the last category of pop culture: DIRTY STINKING NAZIS.



Goddamn Nazis.

Sure, they invented television, and film and VW cars and German Porn. But that doesn't mean they're good, with all their goosestepping and killing Jews and eating babies and punching nurses. Seriously man -- I don't care how much they've positively contributed to the fabric of the world, people who punch nurses JUST AREN'T RIGHT.

Fortunately, Devvy knows just what to do.



Tsk, Astro. You can't get away.

So I guess we've answered today's question pretty resoundingly.

DEVASTATOR CAN TOTALLY EAT POP CULTURE.
