Greetings Seibertronians! We've learned some interesting news coming from the land down under. Ozformers, has shared the news they received from Hasbro Australia that Combiner Wars Titan Class Devastator is being reissued! For Australian Transformers fans, this means that the local Amazon branch getting 300 units to list on October - November time. A comment was made that it looks like Amazon has exclusive rights to this Titan Class reissue, so its best for non-Australian fans to keep their eyes peeled to their local divisions of Amazon to see if listings crop up there.

From the Ozformers post, it appears nothing will be changed for this release.

What do you think of this? Have you already grabbed a Devy? Either the Hasbro or Unite Warriors version? Or does mark your first chance to get him without having to turn to eBay? Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews!

Good news! You're going to die with all of your organs intact (or at least you wont be selling any for MP Devi). The CW figure was intended to be an MP until HasTak decided they didn't want to do an MP combiner and dumbed it down for CW (and then reinstated a bunch of parts for the far superior Japanese Unite Warriors line. Yes, there's supposed to be an MP Raiden coming, but that's likely a one-off since Japan LOVES trains in ways the rest of the world doesn't understand.

Yep. I too have the Unite Warriors version. It's a great toy. Had a great time listening to most of the reviewers on Youtube trash it simply because they had already spent 3x the amount of money on a third party option that didn't even look as good, nor as screen accurate in combined mode.

Such a great toy, I must say it again...

If they were putting out the Warriors united version, I'd buy that in a heartbeat. I already have this one, so I don't need to worry about it.
I'm happy for those who missed it who will get a chance to get it again though.

Nice for those who missed it, though im not sure many have with the UW version and the UW reissue and them being better than its Hasbro counterpart.

I picked up NBK devy first and waited to get the UW for £100. Eventually happened but I prefer the NBK one even if it's smaller.

It will be nice I guess for anyone who didn't get one previously. I adore my UW Version, and Taikongzahns KO shrunk down version which scales with other CW combiners. best of both worlds ;)^

Nice for those that still want one, I guess? If this had the UW improvements I could understand it more- quite frankly, the stock Hasbro version is IMO inexcusably bad between its structural deficiencies and lack of elbows on Scrapper and Long Haul. And even UW can't solve the general cheap look, wonky proportions (Devastator ends up with Sailor Moon legs) and the fact he's just too damn big. Personally I think we really, REALLY need a new official Devastator seeing as the only CHUG options from 3Ps are the oldest complete 3P combiners on the market and all other offerings are MP scaled. I love my Maketoys Giant but I feel HasTak could make an amazing Devastator if they released the individually and with WFC trilogy levels of budget and engineering.

There actually was a small reissue of UW Devastator last year I believe along with Superion...But sadly those have since sold out as well.

Now that he's a little older I MIGHT buy another one.

I really dig everyone's love for UW Devastator. I recall seeing the Hasbro version once and only once at a local Target and it just happen to marked clearance.

Yes indeed it is an awesome Transformer be sure of it! In fact I was able to keep my organs :))

after I bought a second set because the Constructicons themselves are an awesome group to have as well. :BOWDOWN:

And I did it again with Predicons...'nuff said! :DANCE:

Garbage......if this is supposed to be the closest to a MP set done Hasbro/Takara it's a shame. The set looks all too plain. I was debating on it when an add on set came out but after watching multiple videos I decided that that wouldn't even help. it's a good thing,though, because Kingdom is going be be making my wallet cry......and the 86' movie SS ....I so can't wait for those...

The heads are different, the UW version has an optional visor sort of like Metroplex, that's the major physical change. The UW version does have purple hands, slightly different green overall, and Mixmaster had a truck front painted on the foot.

So realistically, if people are going to display the Constructicons, they're like to do it as Devestator, thus getting their panties all bunched up over UW being better is kinda pointless given there's only a few minor differences once combined.

I mean sure, if you're displaying them individually that would be different, but once again, people getting all ragey over nothing.

I believe the UW set has some more secure locking tabs and better ratchets in the arms as wel. Could be wrong though.

I think it's just the knee-jerk "we must praise Takara and bash Hasbro at any opportunity" reflex this fandom has had for as long as I can remember. Any difference at all is proof that Hasbro is the literal devil and anyone who'll settle for the Hasbro releases is not a true fan and/or is flat out braindead. I honestly got sick of hearing it to the point where it got hard to be a part of any conversation in the fandom.

I have the CW version, and I really don't see what's so horribly wrong with it.

People were paying £££/$$$ on upgrades just to make the Hasbeo one do what the Takara one does out of the box. Dunno who them people were but the price of the third party kits that sold were real.

It's just a case of one better version of a toy over another, sometimes Hasbro is better than Takara, sometimes not.

Let's not get ahead of ourselves here. There's plenty of figures from the CW/UW era Hasbro honestly did better (the Stunticons, especially Dragstrip spring to mind) but CW Devastator is at least IMO unacceptable. The fact that a modern set of figures came missing basic articulation- not ab crunches or butterfly joints, but FUNCTIONAL ELBOWS- absolutely baffles me. Now granted the UW version doesn't fix the issues I have with the base set of figures (enormous compared to the other combiners, weird proportions, overall cheap look) but at the very least it makes them functional toys.

I know some people are OK with gimped individuals if the combined mode looks better as a result, but for one thing I personally don't think he looks all that great, even discounting the bizarre decision to make him huge he just looks kinda gangly and weird, and for another, if you only care about combined mode, why even bother buying a set of transforming figures? At that point wouldn't it be better to just buy a giant Action Master? IIRC there was a 3P non-transforming but highly accurate Devastator.

Posted by SpikeyTigertron on September 27th, 2020 @ 7:25am CDT

I think the main issue a lot of folks, me included, had with the Hasbro version was the fact that it seemed "stripped down" compared to the Takara. Now... it's possible that the Hasbro one was "the first pass" and Takara decided, "we can do better". But it really seems like Takara had been much further along, and then for some reason Hasbro cut corners.

Keep in mind we were in the middle of an entire product line that had maybe... five unique transformation schemes to the vehicles. MANY used if not the exact same design nods and were just re-shelled if not just head and paint swaps.

So when Takara came blasting out of the gate the same day (week?) has Hasbro with an arguably better product.... it just was bad move...

As far as the Titan scale. It feels the appropriate size, for MPs (blends right in with Grapple) in robot mode, however, the gestalt mode feels appropriately scaled for War for Cybertron (in my mind). As a side note, keep in mind that the average Combiner War character is currently out of scale with the War for Cybertron Trilogy (though it kind of works in the Dinobots favor at least).

Part of me wishes all the Combiner War combiners were Devastator sized, but that would the robot modes really out of scale (maybe as super cheap MPs?)

Hasbro cut parts to get the price down for the Titan class price, Takara had designed him to be MP level originally. Takara have the advantages of not sticking to defined price points, something that worked for Hasbro for years.

I like trains. Really hoping Hasbro can bring us the Train Zords that BOA skipped.

I mean sure, if you're displaying them individually that would be different, but once again, people getting all ragey over nothing.

There's another aspect that wasn't discussed in terms of differences and it definitely involves the combined mode: the ratcheted shoulders. Devy's arms are rather heavy and the hasbro version just relies on friction to hold a pose involving moving his arms outward, which doesn't work. With takara's version, they have ratchets there so you can hold more dynamic poses.

I wrote a list of all the upgrades the UW version offers here:

https://www.seibertron.com/transformers ... -04/34421/

For me there was also the idea of principle. Like if I am going to spend this much on a toy, I'd like to get my money's worth. Clearly the voyager sized toys were intended to have elbows, so why not pay the extra bit and open up those poseability options. There's a random tab on Hook's crane that seems to serve no purpose until you get the UW version and see it used as weapon storage in alt mode. It's of course minor, I agree, but I didn't want to get a toy that felt gutted.

Ozformers, who first stated that there would be an Amazon exclusive reissue of Combiner Wars Devastator has now announced that it wouldn't see a release until January. It was initially supposed to come out before the year ends.

A "small" update from Hasbro, just days after we broke the news...the reissue Combiner Wars Devastator has been delayed to January (everywhere, not just Australia, so it isn't just us this time).

This was posted on Facebook.

It's amazing how much better the Unite Warriors version is. Just a few guns and elbows, and you take the set from disappointing to nearly perfect. I mean, what the hell was Hasbro thinking? Voyager sized figures without elbow articulation? A few cents extra for guns?

Plus they probably figured that most collectors would end up sticking Devy on a shelf behind other figures and never touched again. I mean what's the point of the extra stuff if you never use it?

Greetings. I was in the same situation as you until about a year ago. I was actually hoping Hasbro would reissue Metroplex back in 2017 when TR Trypticon came out, but it did not happen. :TAKARATOMY:

has reissued Metroplex twice I believe, and the last time was in 2018. BBTS had them in stock until Feb 2019. Just as I was about to get my tax return and pull the trigger they sold out.

Fortunately an auction came up on eBay a few weeks later, I was able to get a MIB T30 for just about $200. But the TT reissue would have cost me close to $300, so I was glad.

Don't give up, and be patient. It took me a couple of years of looking before I finally was able to get one. Also understand exactly what it is you want. I was willing to pay up to $200 for a loose complete T30, but I was fortunate with what came across my path.

Everyone is different. If I were still missing Metroplex, I'd be willing to settle for a loose complete one for about $250, and a MIB (of either the hasbro or TT version) I'd be willing to pay probably $350. I know they can list for much higher. I'd pursue getting one as best as possible as opposed to waiting until *who knows when* for another release, or a new toy, which I dont think should happen for at least another 10 years.

But believe me, I know there are limits. There are a few items I've resigned to myself that I'll never own because they are next to impossible to obtain (look at my wish list), or even if they were, would probably be more than I am able to pay for them. Hindsight is a pain in the ass. I had the perfect circumstances also. If I had known BC2016 was going to be the last one. I would have taken out a couple new credit cards, got the golden ticket registration, flown my whole family to Louisville, and signed all 4 of us up for the build-a-figure class. But I digress...

Don't give up searching for your Metroplex, be diligent and patient, and hopefully you can score one.

que the two that happened !

but i had the disposable at the time so im not that upset really

hold out , ya may get it again in few years or so.

i recently dropped the hammer on an encore fort max that big bad toy store got back in recently. ive wanted that lad since i was 16 but thought id lost the chance. he's STILL pricey but ALOT cheaper than the alternatives ive had available up to now (seriously im talking 700+ euro range from other sources PRE postage ! )

in a way im glad Devy has been postponed. covid is fking things RIGHT up economy wise so i cant justify him now till things get better on the financial front. but AFTER the crimbo bonus?

suddenly he's alot more affordable.

i dunno though. ive been using the toy lines lately to fill out all the missing characters i couldnt get back in the g1 days and ive already got g1 devy. right now the main attraction is ive got all the other titans so he's bascially all i need for a complete set.

i probably will. i said i wouldnt get scorponok for the same reason, then he ACTUALLY hit stores in my country so was too cheap to pass up (as well as the whole "scaling with fort max" thing)

I'm pretty sure G1 Fortmax will scale well with ER Scorponok. But CW/UW Devastator don't scale with anyone.

Correction, devy scales with Omega Supreme, as it should.

Yup, more or less thanks to that G1 episode Secret of Omega Supreme

Plus he doesn't look too out of place on an MP shelf.

Ahhh my favorite episode. It's cheesy, fun, and has a great ( albeit brief) battle between Omega and Dev. Also the B story in San Francisco was cool also as someone who grew up in the area.

This was my catharsis. Ever since Dev trashed the Dinobots in Heavy Metal War, I had seen Omega in the 85 catalogue, and truly hoped he would be the Autobots answer to a powerful bot. I was not disappointed
