I remember seeing this guy in Big Lots either sold in two packs, or in the complete set. I remember the two pack variant of KO Long Haul has the fists fold inwards towards the Dump truck cab. But the complete set version doesn't have the foldable fists on Long Haul. I noticed this but, I don't know if anyone else noticed. The two pack Variant I got back in 2007, but then the Complete set one I got in 2010. Nowadays, the KO Devastator I see is an underscaled Green version which is way worse than the Big lots version. Then there's two variants of KO Scrapper. One where his head pops in & out, then one where his head just stays out.
I grabbed all these at Family Dollar 10+ years ago for cheap. Tried that Devastator set and after seeing how low quality it was, I left the rest in the box as display pieces.
I grabbed a Devestator about 15 years ago, and Quick Change had started cheapening the design. A few heads don’t retract, Long Haul’s arms are a mess, and Scavengers head is permanently half-retracted with half a face. The back image still showed the older, better, version. Combines OK. Needed to re-glue a couple stickers.
I have two of these sets and unpacked my TF's recently. They are worse than I remember them being and on one of them, the tab that connects the leg parts to Longhaul is broken off and I only have one other one! Trying to build Devastator with these has been a serious pain and very frustrating. I thing this version should be called "Wreckastator".
while i try to go easy on collectibles outside of disc form, i pulled the trigger on the transformers/gi joe megatron hiss tank baroness mashup. just too cool to pass up on
there was actually a g1 yellow constructions. that didnt come with connecter pieces. they were yellow with gray. you could buy connector pieces from other constructions
@@ToySpotlite I have made a custom devastator to match the multi colored one you mentioned. the chest plate is red. and yes I totally agree with you. it works so much better. I also did a diaclone custom devastator.
Quick Change Defensor is the better of the two for mine. Defensor was also the cancelled G2 colors. My first mod was cutting/dremeling the part on Groove, so his front would swing down.
Soundwave superior this Construction knockoff inferior. This set crumbled on me after I played with it. Yes Soundwave the official one which is better quality came out in 1985. It cost 19.97 at Toys r us.
i just hate when Kyle goes skipping on details because it's an old mold and we are ALL SUPPOSED to had them all when we were kids. That's fkn lazy and if you gonna do a review.. do it in it's entirery!
I have this set from many years back along with 3 other ko devy sets. This one is by far the worst quality. Looks OK but impossible to combine. Just so flimsy and poor fitting, it's a pile of plastic garbage.
