Encore Devastator

[Jay-Tron]

I'm so excited about this reissue. I've wanted Scrapper for the past 25 years, as a 5 year old my neighbour owned him and I used to play with Scrapper in the sandpit in the backyard. Now I get to have the entire Constructicons brand new! Yesss

I only ever had the yellow, non-combining Constructicons, this is a big deal for me!

I know exactly how you feel. Seeing other members here get burnt by accidentally buying KO's, I have stayed away from buying any of the Constructicons aside from Scrapper which I bought MOSC. November can't come soon enough

Official pics up now at Amazon!

I'm not educated enough to know if there's any differences, but to me it looks pretty sharp!

One thing's for sure, they're definitely going to make their mold recreation monies back real quick!

How much did he retail for back in the day? Probably a third of the price they're asking for it now

Based on those pictures, I can see the following differences:
+ The missile launchers (forearms) are black with yellow triggers instead of purple with green triggers.
+ Mixmaster in the photo of Devastator has a grey mixing barrel instead of green, however the photo of the individual Constructicons in vehicle mode shows Mixmaster with a green mixing barrel like the G1 toy.

However the images do have the disclaimer 画像は開発中のものです ("Images are of items still in development") -- so we shouldn't necessarily be taking these images as gospel in terms of what the final product will look like.

Devastator was never sold as gift set here - we had to collect the Constructicons individually. IIRC they were $9 each? Long Haul was my first Constructicon and I remember thinking that he was the most expensive carded Transformer I'd ever seen.

The Devastar gift set in Japan retailed for 5800JPY.

Yeah but you're looking at prices from 1985... where a Transformers comic book cost less than a dollar!

I hope these are just test shots and not the final package. I don't like the black arms and the yellow tab looks so out of place. I really want him to have red eyes too.

I dunno, I kinda like the changes. I would buy it too.
