    Surely that is a modified Combiner Wars Scavenger? Those hip ball joints look very familiar.

    Entirely different parts and transformation to Combiner Wars Scavenger.
    Looking to buy lucky draw Armada Prime and Diaclone Marlboor Wheeljack.

    Only their motherboard can tell them apart.

    I will echo everyone in here - this is a bloody fun figure.

    This has been the only letdown of the Studio Series line to me.

    Fortunately it seems confined to the Deluxe price point figures that turn into cars (save and except Stinger, who has a fun and unique transformation).

    This guy really looks good especially in person, but i'm just wondering if all of the Scrap Metals' boxes are double taped? The other guys on this wave I found in Kmart were just single taped.

    I only got this guy because I want to make Devastator, but he's surprisingly fun to mess with in his own right. I just wish he had a gun, or even just a flip-out barrel or muzzle on one arm, although he does have a 5mm port on his left forearm.

    Mine was double-taped.

    I noticed that the side of the box for Scrapmetal has a Devastator head instead of an Autobot symbol (even the Decepticon toys have an Autobot symbol, which annoys me for being a wasted opportunity)... so maybe this is a way for non-fans to know that this is part of a special team (not that the boxes needed it if the Decepticons had Autobot symbols on theirs, and people buying these would already know they are part of Devastator).



    When the last Constructicon is released, I think transforming the team all at once from either mode and then combining them, will be a big project.

    Thanks for the review.

    I’m in just to flesh out the Decepticon ranks.
