Combiner Wars Devastator Rumour

[BigTransformerTrev]

I have zero problem with them being voyager if it turns out to be true - all those construction vehicles are bigger than those that make up the Stunticons for example (since Motormaster doesn't have a trailer and all). Predaking was always accepted as bigger than the other Gestalts in fiction, even if it was only by a head. I reckon the Gestalts should be different sizes based on the alt-modes/bots that comprise them and how many different bots they comprise. Though I suppose by that reckoning Superion should be huge!

Even if we look at IDW, Menasor was only about 3 times the size of Ultra Magnus, yet Devastator was smashing gigantic bridges with one punch and crushing jet fighters in his hand

It'll be funny if they wanted to go with properly scaled ones. Silverbolt would be nearly Menasor and Defensor combined and Superion would be bigger than most of main combiners combined.

I'm pretty sure people don't really want to-scale Scramble City gestalts or Superion and Menasor would look like thalidomide victims, and Defensor and Bruticus would be mutants.

[UltraMarginal]

It could also end up being a redeco of ROTF Supreme Devastator, since that's never been re-released. Just to terrify everyone.

In chrome silver.

You're both bad people.

*backhanded slap across the face* Never say that again!

I agree

the rumours look pretty solid. could end up being a pretty exciting year for transformers next year.

Classic Superion wouldn't be that bad since all the limbs are jets. Same with Menasor. It's Defensor and Bruticus that would be ridiculous.

Finally we can recreate a proper devastator scene with the new mp dinobots being released by 3rd parties

Oh I dunno, if you swapped them round a bit Defensor could have First Aid and Streetwise as legs, chop Blades in half to make the two arms and Groove could be.... I dunno... a belt?


Edit: You know I wrote the above as a joke but now thinking about it, if Groove turned into a gun.... it could actually kinda work

[Akky82]

Yes while I did mention Prowl, I really dont think it's a good idea, and though comics is the only thing i have to do with transformers outside of collecting MP/gestalts, I would never even buy prowl, let alone display it with him combined.

The Combiner Devastator set has shown up in the Canadian ToysRUs computer.
Since we found out about the Platinum Insecticons and Coneheads set after this boxset was first rumoured, it is now likely that this is another in the line of Platinum Gen1 boxsets for 2015.
Also, if the remaining Generations Deluxe toys for 2015 are indeed Protectobots and Autobot cars, a set of new moulds (Constructicons) is not likely to be released as a boxset first... so would need to either be existing moulds, or a toy that can't be sold individually (TF2 Devastator).
The Canadian price is $180, which is likely to be about US$150 in America... and about $200-250 if released here.
The Insecticon set was found as well, for C$100.

Wasn't Metroplex around that price tag in the US? We could see a similar markdown like we did for Devastator. Target had him for $120, hopefully it repeats.

$150 US would be a lot to charge for the original Constructicons, but the price of the Insecticons rerelease is pretty steep too and those aren't much bigger. There will be some epic fan rage if it is the G1 toys; the link you've shared pretty much has everyone still believing it's brand new voyager class toys.

(When I look at the original Insecticons, toys I only got twenty years after the fact, I can never get over how small they are, and yet they were sold in boxes at a higher price point compared to the triple changing Constructicons. )
