Encore #20: Devastator Giftset

[Tetsuwan Convoy]

@ goki Sorry being lazy on the quoting

Yeh, I got it SAL. It was a combination of SAL and some more that slowed down my little traveller. Read about the horror here.

Glad to hear about the groin piece. I saw the bit for Scrapper and thought it might be a bit dodgy, was very careful with that little fella thats fer sure.

I must admit, I am not sure what is stronger than a rocket drill. Maybe a God Scrander Punch? Been a long time since I saw some crazy robot-riffic anime.

I like Devs, nice little toy that one. Buy it!

I like the way that the pieces that are used to join Devs individual components together can be popped onto the vehicle modes. The first instance of Stealth Force?

I'd say the first instance of "Stealth Force" would be the original 1984 Optimus Prime toy, because there's a square-shaped hole on the top of his trailer where Combat Deck's attack tower can protrude from - giving him an attack vehicle mode (pic <--2nd one from the left)

There were several Transformers in 1985 who could attach weapons in their alt modes; even the Dinobots had weapons in their dino modes (Swoop prominently uses his attack dino mode in canonical appearances). Jetfire has the most decked-out attack alt mode (and attack robot mode ). But I'd say out of the Transformers in Devastator's year, the two Transformers that have the most "Stealth Force-esque" attack alt mode would be Perceptor and Tracks, because they actually transform into their attack alt modes rather than just sticking weapons onto them. In fact, Perceptor's tank mode doesn't require any additional weapons, he just transforms into it!

But I do like how Devastator's vehicle weapons are made up from his gestalt kibble rather than being separate accessories. Feels more resourceful to me.

Haha, that's not to bad. I was waiting for you to open the box and have Devs hands broken or something, after the horrors of water damage.

I might get this or the anime head version. Looks good enough for a spot. I think I might have to clear a shelf for a G1/reissue collection.

If this had been yellow/orange, it would have been instantly bought!

As it is now - lame!

[Bidoofdude]

Why? The green is just as good.
Yellow/orange would be good, but it doens't bother me.

IMO it is pretty useless if you already own the first 'normal' encore re-issue or the original G1 in good condition and a cartoon head is not enough to encourage me to buy it. A yellow/orange release would have justified it more.

Oh, forgot that I'm the first one, sorry.
