That is one shiny purply Devy![]()
Yes... that's an SDCC exclusive for this year, which will be available here at the Sydney and Brisbane Conventions... as it was something that the Hasbro people showed me at Toyfair.
The interior of the box is designed to look like that artwork in the back of the original Generations book... and the toy itself isn't too much different to the regular version. A bit like the Metroplex toy in 2013 as it just has some shiny bits added.
I went for the AGC-Con Metroplex because the original Metroplex had a chrome face and thighs like the SDCC/AGC version. I really don't see myself getting this SDCC Devastator because he has never had chrome like this in the past. I'm not going to order a Devastator till we see what Takara do because Hasbro's is already fairly cartoon accurate.
I have a list of all G1 characters that have been released in CHUG form. You can find it here. Please feel free to let me know if I got anything wrong so I can fix it.
Now we have two revealed for this year, and a third still only hinted at.
Devastator - price unknown? (probably about US$180-200 - the regular one is US$150)
CW Hunters 3-pack - US$75
Kreo (unknown) - price unknown
That should hopefully be all of the Transformers exclusives for this year, and SDCC is only about 5 weeks away (July 9-12), so start saving up those pennies if you are keen on any of them.
The Sdcc Devastator is a real must buy for me as it looks amazing...but being here in perth will definitely have to be quick to secure that. (Just dont tell my wife..hahaa)
So are both sets going to be sold in Comic con here?
