Transformers UW04 Devastar[Devastator]Special luxurious specification Japanese edition|Unite Warriors series/TAKARATOMY Figure/

This figure is awesome. It is masterpiece scale and almost masterpiece quality (without the masterpiece price tag).He is HUGE and impressive. The engineering that went into this guy is outstanding, and Takara Tomy has gone the extra mile and made little changes to Hasbro design that individually seem small, but the overall effect is amazing.Yes, Longhaul is oversized, but by making him so, the complete Devastator has the right proportions, unlike so many Combiner/ Unite toys (which tend to have ape arms with flimsy elbows).The only problem that I have with this figure is that it makes my Predaking and Bruticus toys look cheap and off scale/ proportion in comparison.

These guys are really cool. They're big, too- a bit bigger than Voyager Class, more along the lines of Ultra Class, if you remember what that was like. It came rather quickly, as well, so that was awesome. A fair warning though about Scrapper's elbows- they are stupidly tight, and it might feel like you're about to break them the first time you unhinge them. My advice is to shave down the hooks on his forearms when you finally do get them (the elbows) bent. It makes it a bit easier. The paint-apps are amazing, and with all the new articulation points on many of the figures, the poses you can get with these guys are too. Definitely worth it, just be prepared to use a bit of force when converting them.

I’ve been looking for this figure since it’s was released, it’s great to finally have it, I didn’t like some details of the figure but ordering the “DNA upgrade kit on amazon fixed those issues.Currently Devastator is a display piece on my work desk while I collect the Studio Series parts for that Devastator.

Very promising product; my son and I loved it. It devastate everything !!

It is unquestionable that THE event of the year (2015) in Transfromers toys is Generations Devastator. Unlike almost every other Hasbro toy out there, Takara's version was not just a change in deco but a significant change in the articulation of the figures. Every single figure has extra/different parts to improve on articulation and there are even differences for Devastator as a whole. We could never know the extent until these were released and now that they are I can finally give a rundown of exactly what is new with Takara's take on Devastator.Articulation:The new articulation is broken down with a stock image of the Hasbro version first so that you can see the change right after. You will see that the shots showing the Takara version have the Constructicons holding their own [b]individual weapons[/b], which are unique to each Constructicon. This inclusion is one of the main extra features of the Takara set.Elbows on LonghaulElbows on ScrapperThe elbows do lock for combined mode so there is absolutely no stability issue either now or down the line due to their inclusion.Extra inner arm piece for Hook. Hasbro's elbow is preserved, making it a double elbow.Extra inner arm piece for Mixmaster. Hasbro's elbow is preserved, making it a double elbow.Different knee joint for ScavengerThe ball joint is replaced by an extra piece connected on a mushroom peg. This makes the knee bend at the actual knee and not the lower thigh. It also provides a slight increase in articulation. This is also present on Bonecrusher.Different knee joint for BonecrusherIf you hear the click n the pelvic area, it will be rock solid and not undo itself when playing with or posing the figure. This seems to be an issue Takara fixed (at least on my version). As shown with Scavenger, the knee joint is different. However, while the knee bends at the correct area, the final result looks about the same when the knee is bent at 90 degrees.I am unaware if the different knee will help achieve any new poses that people have been wanting to do.Devastator:New HeadThe head lets you switch from one look to the next, with a visor and without.Ratcheted armpits/shouldersI don't know what to call this specific joint but this is the joint used when extending Devastator's arms outward. It is ratcheted now, by having the connector pieces of Scavenger and Bonecrusher ratcheted, and helps counter gravity when doing poses that extend Devastator's arms so that they do not fall.Mixmaster's cab:Mixmaster's alt mode has been the most controversial element of Generations Devastator due to the orientation of the cement drum being reversed compared to the original (since it is supposed to resemble a bigger cement mixer). This means that the front of the Hasbro version has more paint apps than the cab found in the back. Takara doesn't seem to fully agree with this change as evident in the mount of paint applications they added to that back cab.You will notice that Takara included a faction symbol on this cab. This is important since this would make it the only faction symbol not facing forward head on if Mixmaster was oriented the Hasbro way. Scrapper himself has his faction symbol facing forward by being in his shovel, unlike the Hasbro version, adding to the theme of the placement of the symbols. Also, the individual guns can be placed on the alt modes to give each vehicle an offensive edge. Mixmaster's is placed on that back cab which would have his gun facing away from the action if he were oriented like Hasbro intended.To conclude, here is a rundown of the major changes with Takara's Devastator (UW-04):6 unique individual weaponsNew parts for improved articulation on all Constructicons (knees, elbows or double elbows)Purple hands for DevastatorNew tooling for Devastator's head to switch from visor to visor-less lookRatchets when extending Devastator's arms outwardDifferent choice and distribution of paint applications (especially on Bonecrusher's robot mode and Mixmaster's alt mode)Painted rimsThis is the definitive version of Devastator and I do recommend this one highly over the Hasbro one if you have the money. It augments the play value greatly especially if you like to pose them fighting as individual bots.

This thing looks awesome it was expensive so I hope it's everything and more. My only concern is everything is in Japanese. All the writing on the box is in Japanese so I really hope the instructions have English on them

He is huge and amazing! I will be able to now have a decepticon vs autobot combiner combat. This is so awesome! Thank you for building such a cool transformer and a super thank you to my cousin for getting him for me!!!!

Our grandson was thrilled when he saw the package. It went down hill after that. It was really hard for grandpa to put together. I think it is really neat and unique. But it is too hard to put together for grandpa and a eight year old. The head popped off immediately. He cried and cried. And then I cried. He tries to play with it. But he does not even try to put in all together. It was just a sad outcome. And the price that I paid for it was outrageous. I didn't mind because It was an all year, birthday and Christmas present. Something that he really wanted. Unfortunately, it was a total mistake. I wanted to ask for my money back and return it, but I thought they probably would not. You ask for my opinion, I honestly gave it to you.

Product arrived in excellent condition, and my kid loves playing with the transformers. It's a bit nostalgic for me too 😁

Tout à fait conforme à mes attentes, combiner emblématique de la G1, indiscutablement le robot à posséder pour tous les nostalgiques de l'âge d'or des Transformers.

文句の付け所が無いくらい最高です！

Well made. My son collects these and this is easily one of the best of the giant figures.

個々のメンバーは大振りな作りですが、デバスターとして見たときはMPウルトラマグナスくらいのつくりです。各メンバーの顔の造詣もG1アニメに忠実で、今の所、ビルドロン玩具では一番ではないでしょうか。
