I always appreciated how there was a functional distinction between Movie Devastator and his components. He's not a just bigger solider holding a bigger gun, he's a literal weapon on four legs. There's a time when it's best to split up into a squad and a time to deploy the vortex grinder. G1 Devastator always felt a little hard to justify having one big guy over 6 smaller guys.
The thing about G1 combiners that always bothered me: why not just attack their feet? They got the same armor on them as the standard Cybertronian. Just aim at a foot and they'll topple over. Movie Devastator walks on all four to carry a massive weapon like some four-legged tank with multiple targeting systems to combat smaller enemies who try to take out his limbs. He's so underrated.
@@nickvang7 While it sounds really cool in theory, unfortunately movie devastator's weakness is simply hiding beneath his massive body lmfao. I really think they nerfed devastator in the movies, because a bunch of humans and the twins were able to easily hide under him.
@@FastforwardxD Yeah he needed more turrets below him, but I feel like the designers specifically left those out so the action scene could happen. The fact he had to fight against the comic relief characters really was an insult to the great ideas that went into Devastator's design.
1:34 Scavenger's shovel/scoop thing looks like a face screaming. Those two red dots being eyes and the shovel somewhat resembling a mouth. Made me laugh harder than it should 🤣😂
Fun fact: there is also a red rampage and a demolisher using these molds that were released in Japan and limited to a small quantity from Toys R Us back in 2009 or 2010
I own this set of figures, remember having so much fun with it, especially when pairing it with my other Legion figures. The only problem is Overload eventually broken on me, can’t remember exactly why but his arm is now broken in half which is bummer.
This set of constructicons is really nostalgic for me. As a kid, I was given a choice between Armada Starscream or the G1 color of legion class Devastator. I went with the Devastator and I do not regret it. Awesome combiner form for its size:)
Always been a fav toy of mine, and by the way, an idea for a possible “things that annoy transformers fans”: trying to get into other action figure franchises but being disappointed when all a completely fine figure does is pose and have a couple weapons. To me it just feels like something is missing.
since according to the comics that the constructicons were created by the allspark that would also explain why there are 2 of each constructicon in both roft and dotm and thats just an excuse to pair both g1 and movie as an army team group even the little ones can fit it because of that idea
I’ve got the Walmart exclusive g1 colors version of this set. It’s quite fun, and probably influenced me in my opinion that we need more legends scale combiners.
movie devastator is still one of my all time favourite bayformer designs, just an absolute heap of hateful alien metal, it’s incredible they could make any semblance of it work (as a combiner no less!) with figures of this scale
I really loved this set. The price point, design, play value made it stand out for me. Too bad I gave him away as a gift to a friend's kid. Would want to get him again.
I had a big legends kick last year with the movie guys and this one was on the list. Got the normal Hasbro one and the Takara G1 version. It's such a fun set and for the first legends scale combiner, especially since Hasbro did it, it's great. Fun set if you are into the little guys.
I remember getting one but now my Hightower and Longhaul are broken to a point where I can’t combine them. Hightower’s missing his legs and Longhaul’s left arm broke off. I guess I should buy new ones because I’m definitely not finding the missing pieces and glueing them back on.
I do really like this design, I just also really don't like this design for Devastator specifically. I feel "All Hail Megatron" back in 2008/09 proved a G1-style Devastator can still be intimidatingly, so really it just comes down to me giving this guy a new name and issue solved.
That's how I feel about most movie designs. They are good when separated from their source material. You telling me that's supposed to be Onslaught in TKL?
I got this exact set as a kid and I LOVED THEM, such fun little figures that a literally never got tired of messing with. The only reason I ever stopped playing with them is an unfortunate one, as eventually the inevitable happened and Scavenger's arm broke at the joint when I tried to remove Scrapper 😥. Still, great fondness for them and glad I have them, this video honestly makes me wanna go fish them out and fiddle with them again
This was such a fun toy with the brief time I had it. I disassembled it and put them in vehicle mode, then when going into another combined mode, Overload's arm broke clean off and I couldn't do it anymore. It was cool, and I wish I could have it again.
When you said "he used to walk on all fours to sport his massive..." at the very beginning I thought the next thing that you were gonna say was "balls"
That toy guy skipjack or rampage is not the only constructicons to have a robot mode if you remember in the ocean when they went to go revive Megatron at least four or five constructicons had robot moves we just couldn't distinctly see which ones they were but we know for sure that long haul went down there
This is perhaps the best small class combiners ever released in recent years, even back in '09, this was the best version of RotF Devastator since it has individual robot modes compared to the Supreme class one (also Overload being the seventh Constructicon was forgivable.) Now remains the question: between this, PotP Battletrap, and Legacy Volcanicus/Dinoking, who would win in terms of design, play value, and engineering?
I had this guy!.. 1 of skipjacks arms broke off, 1 of Mixmasters arms broke off, and my overload broke in half, liked him while he laster but I'm happy with my SS devestator
Years ago I got this dude on amazon (long after it was on shelves) and it was delivered like 2 weeks early being a chinese import if I remember correctly. Since then, most of the figures have broken and it's sad because I liked this dude. I am thinking of getting another one
Legends devastator is pretty cool. Now they need to make an updated one, and I 100% agree about the bayverse devastator being the superior devastator. Also, can you review some more of the planet x figures like Megatron, shockwave, grimlock, etc etc. I can 100,000% recommend shockwave he's a great planet x figure
When I was seven I remember wanting this set more than anything. I loved ROTF and still do and I wanted Devastator bc he’s my favorite part of that movie. I’m thirteen and still haven’t found a single one. Please help
I remember wanting this legion class Devastator toy really badly. Like, I really wanted it. But sadly I never got it when it was on store shelves, but maybe I'll attempt to get my hands on it, from one of the many various toy websites, at some point in the future
I guy nearby was selling this for cheap a little while ago, but when I finally had the money he had already sold it to some scalper who is now asking three times as much for it.
I bought he figures recently, the joint tolerances was too tight, the scavenger was really floppy, the wheels refused too stay in place, and the arms sheered off fresh out the box, really envious of the quality of the toys in this review
I think you got the K.O version. Especially if the windows aren’t blue. I’ve got the K.O version, they’re still good but the joints are either too lose or tight :/
I loved this version of Devastator but I had the retro version that was ROTF but in the G1 color schemed and also I had the Supreme class that was just the vehicles and combined mode
I have this and Lets see here Overload snapped in half and all i have is his legs Scavengers box pieces on his shoulder area is gone Long haul is missing a leg and the ball joint for the leg is gone Skipjacks arms are gone High tower is just gone And mixmaster and scrapper are in perfect condition
just recently bought the movie advanced version for under 30€, new and all. only problem is that rampage (according to the manual it's rampage and not skipjack?) didn't come with a face. when i rotate the panel where the face should be it's just the pin where a face could mount to. so in my case i'll have to use the decepticon logo as a face. but i'll put them together to form devastator in the end anyway and i'll keep it like that. the small hinges and pins are way too fragile, it's way too easy to give it some stressmarks, if not worse
I prefer G1 Devastator honestly. Action and personality wins over presenting the notion of intimidation to me. Old school Devvy would solo swaths of Autobots then laugh at them and boast the futility of their efforts. He wanted you to know doom was coming. “Prepare for Extermination!” “NOTHING defeats the Devastator!” And he could be a sadistic bastard to “Trust me, this is for your own good” while shoving Omega Supreme at the Robo Smasher Movie Devastator is a big dog that tried to vacuum everything around it. He can’t talk, he can’t stand, he can just roar and try to get you with his one noteworthy ability. Oh and the two worst and most useless characters in the movie were able to overcome him in battle and then he was instantly killed by a random rail gun. Not exactly on the same level as the guy who could take on the Dinobots solo
