This Figure is AWESOME. Hasbro reached out with this design to do a lot of things and they hit a lot of buttons well. For diehard Transformers collectors, you may find some of the target market sacrifices annoying, so read through carefully, but for a play oriented display, the more than casual fan or something for a truck-minded kid, you'll love this.
The Trucks:
Each of the 6 Constructicons turn into big, bulky trucks. Compared to some older Generations Transformers, the plasitc feels lighter and more rubbery, but the vehicle's size and material are just begging to go out in the dirt and be played with, hosed off, and transformed. I do wish that Hook's crane could turn, or slide, or that Mixmaster's cement drum could turn, but the wheels all roll soundly. And I can forgive Long Haul's dump bed being shaped the way it is as needed for transformation, I suppose.
The Robots
Like the vehicles, these are BIG Bots. Some have said their size almost makes them feel like oversized Knock Offs, and I can understand that too a point. They are lighter than expected for their size, due in part because of the overall weight of Devvy. But the size of the Constructicons is also endearing, and if they were smaller we'd feel somehow shorted. its a good size for young and old hands alike. Transformations are very loyal to G1 for the most part, but still updated enough to feel new and not braindead simple, either. I wish they had more accurate guns, and not just Devy's accesories with gunbarrels. Takara is covering that in their own line, but at Takara prices+import. The Headsculpts are definately top notch though, right from the 86 cartoon movie.
Devastator
Two words. BIG. STABLE. You'd think for a guy standing on someone doing a hanstand, he'd have all the balance of a drunk pegglegged pirate in a hurricane. But on two feet, he's extremely balanced. The figure feels hefty, but just the right amount without being front or back heavy. And at 18" tall, he dwarfs most of his enemies. While smaller than the recent Metroplex, he's twice Leader Megatron's size and far larger than the other Combiners. The way Scrapper and Mixmaster unfold and latch into Long Haul to form the legs is ingenius and almost foolproof. This figure can take a lot of play without falling apart. Hook and LongHaul connect together in three places and then both connect to the arm bots Scavenger and Bonecrusher, Hook through the giant's shoulders and Long Haul by tabbing into the treads that form the ribcage/armpit area. And THEN you can tab on the shield, which connects to Long Haul with clips, a peg into Hook on the left side (but oddly, not the right?) and then with slotted tabs onto both treads, as much reinforcing the existing joints as it is holding itself on, while simoultaneously not making the figure hard to take a part. On mine, the wrist joint is tighter than the joint the han swivels into itself on, which has resulted in me popping the hand off the cuff several times. Nothing broken, it's a simple knob in a divot and designed to give, but it is annoying. I also find myself missing the 5mm standard pegholes. He has 5mm handles in his hands for the smaller bots to hold them as weapon pods, but no easy-to-use peg hole. He actually grips his blaster. It makes the hands look good, but in G1, Devy had a Scorpion guy who turned into a gun and this Devy can't weild a recent Scorion figure easily. Minor gripe though in the grand scheme of things. And that headsculpt? amazing.
The bottom line is this: If you want a Museum Quality, Masterpiece Devastator, you might find this lacking. But this figure is fun to fiddle with, looks good with Generations toys, as well as the Robots in Disguise 2015 figures, has great posability, and definately stands out. You won't go wrong getting this for you, or your child, or both.

Nothing Can Withstand the Might of Devastator
Devastator is a raging hammer of chaos, battling voices in his head one minute, then crushing his targets the next. He is the perfect weapon, held back by a single imperfection: the Constructicons struggle to successfully merge their thoughts into one cohesive action, making it difficult to focus the wrath of their combined form. If they were able to harness the full force of their collective power, they would give the Decepticons a weapon capable of pounding entire civilizations to dust. As long as that threat exists, Devastator will loom as a shadow across the universe, an enemy the Autobots -- and all the worlds they protect -- must fear.
6 Voyager Class Figures
This all-in-one Devastator set contains 6 Transformers Voyager Scale figures, 4 weapon accessories, and instructions, and comes with a collectible character card featuring art based on the Transformers Legends mobile game. Each figure converts from robot to construction vehicle and back. It takes 8-17 steps to convert between modes, depending on the figure.

The best official Devastator set released in the US, but not perfect
For those of us who loved Transformers in the 1980s and 1990s, we remember Devastator as the Decepticons' ultimate weapon...until all the other combiners and the city-sized Transformers showed up, anyway. As cool and as fun as the original Devastator figure was, though, his size was a little underwhelming; his combined form was not too much bigger than figures like Ultra Magnus, who was supposed to be dwarfed by the Constructicon combiner. Fast forward 30 years and the designers at Hasbro and Takara have decided to place a much bigger emphasis on scale, and we get this beast who, at 18 inches tall, absolutely towers over virtually every other Transformers figure (including all the other combiners). Finally!Devastator is of course the combined form of 6 individual Constructicon figures. Each one is Voyager-sized, meaning they stand at about 7 inches apiece. They all share a consistent purple and bright green color scheme with black, silver, and red accents. They all transform into construction vehicles, hence their group name. Their individual transformation schemes from robot-to-vehicle are all pretty straightforward and probably won't be difficult for anyone who is already familiar with how the engineering of Transformers figures usually works.The individual Constructicons vary widely in appearance, stability, and articulation. First, I will say that their vehicle modes are all decent-looking representations of their character models, with the main exception being Mixmaster, whose cement truck form has been changed from the classic rear-loading configuration to a more modern front-loading one. I assume this was done to make the combined form more stable. Thankfully, it doesn't look terrible or out of place, but this might be an issue for people who want a high degree of G1 accuracy in their figures. Unfortunately, the only weapons included with the set are the components used to make Devastator, so while splitting the big guy's gun in half works all right for two of them, the other "weapons" are almost hilariously bad. My understanding is that the Japanese version of this set includes individual weapons for the Constructicons.For the most part, the Constructicons look all right in their robot modes. At the very least, they look about as good as you would expect them to. Remember that this set was originally released in 2015 as part of Combiner Wars. The individual Constructicons have fairly simplified appearances that were consistent with the overall aesthetic of Transformers figures at the time they were designed, so unfortunately the greebling and other stylistic flourishes we've become used to in the War For Cybertron lines (Siege, Earthrise, Kingdom, and Generations Selects) are absent. The only single figure that looks downright terrible is Long Haul (the dump truck). He forms the thighs and lower torso area of Devastator, which means he's basically the nexus of the combined mode and therefore needs to be really solid to support the weight of the three figures who sit on top of him and really firm to grip the two who attach to the bottom of him. As a result, his individual robot mode is proportioned like someone on the TLC show "Family by the Ton." This makes his articulation and poseability extremely limited (including the weird choice to make his elbows bend outward but not forward). He just doesn't look good.On the subject of articulation and poseability, the rest of the Constructicons thankfully don't share Long Haul's issues. In particular, Scavenger and Bonecrusher have levels of articulation comparable to other Voyager class figures from Combiner Wars. Mixmaster technically has the same level of articulation, but his vehicle mode kibble hangs off of his back in an extremely awkward way that makes it very difficult to give him any kind of dynamic pose. Hook has similar issues, but not quite to the same extent. Bizarrely, the US release of Scrapper lacks elbows, so he can only pull off stiff-armed poses. The Japanese release of this set featured improvements in articulation apparently without negatively impacting the stability of the combined mode, so I can only guess this was a cost-cutting measure on Hasbro's part.One pretty big problem with this set is the overall low level of quality control present. I don't know exactly what's going on, but ever since Hasbro moved the production of Transformers figures from China to Vietnam, things have been very...off. This set is unfortunately no exception. Let's go through the big ones:- Mixmaster's left forearm keeps falling off; looking at it the wrong way seems to be enough to detach it.- Bonecrusher's inner thighs will not tab into place in robot mode.- Hook's leg panels are floppy.- Scrapper's head will not retract all the way into his torso, which is ironically identical to the problem I had with G1 Scrapper as a kid. Thankfully his shovel covers that up in vehicle mode, but it's kind of just hanging out there in the combined form.- Long Haul, Hook, and Scavenger all have tiny, tight joints that require an excessive amount of force to move into place to transform them into their vehicle modes or into their Devastator component modes.I have no idea to what extent these problems are present in other samples of this set, so if I can give you two words of advice, BE CAREFUL.Of course, the combined form is what everyone is really interested in. Thankfully, putting Devastator together is really not that difficult (with the exception of the small joints I mentioned above). And despite some of the shortcomings of the individual Constructicons, his combined mode is awesome. I mean, he's clearly the best official Devastator ever released in the North American market. As of 2021, he is also the largest official Transformers combiner and one of the largest Transformers figures overall. He looks great next to other Generations figures, even in comparison to the more recent and significantly more detailed WFC figures. His appearance is very clean as well, with very few instances of the individual Constructicons' robot mode parts being visible in the combined form.Devastator is decently sturdy, with all of the individual Constructicons making firm connections to one another. He's also articulated quite well for a figure this size, although I have to admit that I haven't been especially daring in the poses I've tried to put him in since I'm not fully confident Scrapper's arms -- which form Devastator's right ankle -- would stay in place and support his weight in crazier positions. But again, this might not affect everyone's copy, so your mileage may vary.As a whole, this set has more good than bad, but it might not be for everyone. Describing it as huge and saying that it's 18 inches tall doesn't really do justice to the sheer amount of physical space this thing takes up if you don't already have any Titan class Transformers figures. The price -- $149.99 -- is a slight discount over the current cost of 6 Voyager figures purchased individually (which would be about $180, meaning this is essentially buy-5-get-1-free) but might be a bit much for some folks, especially in light of the QC problems. I also really wish that this re-release had the improvements featured in the Japanese set...using Devasator's forearms (among other parts) as weapons just looks dumb. But it's also unlikely you'll be keeping Devastator disassembled for any real length of time, so maybe it doesn't matter. Overall, most fans of G1 Transformers will find something to like about this set even if they don't absolutely fall in love with it.
