Devastator heavily rumored for TF2 September 11th, 2008

A reli­able source that has proved cor­rect in the past has pro­vided some infor­ma­tion con­cern­ing the G1 com­biner Dev­as­ta­tor robot to TFW2005:

Dev­as­ta­tor details

- Seven con­struc­tion vehi­cles merge to form Dev­as­ta­tor
– Dev­as­ta­tor has lots of upper body strength, like a gorilla
– Not just green, some of the vehi­cles are red and yel­low
– The pre­vi­ously Long Haul con­cept art by Josh Nizzi is legit

Quite frankly, some­thing of this size and com­plex­ity would be both awe­some and epic.

TLAMB raise some very valid points which put this news into doubt, and why I can­not report this as a con­fir­ma­tion. Specif­i­cally — we have not seen any con­struc­tion vehi­cles dur­ing film­ing, a toy that is cre­ated from more than 5 parts presents a dif­fi­cult engi­neer­ing task for Has­bro — some­thing that will be more expen­sive “than the $25 sweet point”. They also stip­u­late that given Prime’s height of 35 feet, the size of an aver­age con­struc­tion vehi­cle, this robot could reach up to 80 feet in height.

I’m reluc­tant to think­ing that Dev­as­ta­tor might be a prob­lem due to his size and toy dif­fi­culty. As this image proves, Has­bro has already cre­ated a 5 part toy with smaller vehi­cles from the Gen­er­a­tion 1 Con­struc­ti­cons. Surely the price will go high, but that would only make it a rarer toy, not impossible.

Again, size wouldn’t be a prob­lem. In fact, that’s Dev­as­ta­tor main weapon! His huge size made him (or them) the ruler of the Decep­ti­cons for a long time while Mega­tron wasn’t around, and until Supe­rion came, his strength was undis­puted. And lets also remem­ber Tidal­Wave might be in the show.
