I picked up combiner wars Devastator and it's gotten me back into Transformers after 2 years. I want to make a display around this guy but not sure what figures would scale with him. Classics seem too small and masterpiece seems too big. Thoughts?

Oddly enough a lot of G1 figures scale with it well but don't match the style.

Funnily enough, I picked up CW Devastator and it took me OUT of Transformers after 10 years.

I don't get the hate for this figure. Yeah he's kind of plain but I painted on some detail and now I love it. Also for the price you can't really expect some 3rd party level of detail.

Its because they half assed the individual bot modes and they focused the plastic usage on making him as big as possible, rather than making him sturdy or anything.

No. For the price you should expect 6 Voyager level figures. Not 6 upscaled Legends class figures.

Anyway, what series would scale well with this to give it show like scale accuracy?

You have to admit there are plenty of legitimate complaints that can be leveled at him. And I'd like to think that people who both love AND hate him would have a better opinion of him if he were abit smaller in exchange for better articulation and paint-jobs for the individual robot modes.

That said, there's alot to appreciate with him as well. Whether or not he's worth it to you depends on those good points outweighing the bad ones.

Shitposters aside, That Devastator scale pretty well with Classics. Because a deluxe car and Aurobot scale well, and Classic Optimus is perfect as well. In canon, Devy IS GIGANTIC. So, make a fun and accurate display with Classic TFs!

Don't listen to those people. You're right, people expect 3P level of detail, for less than the price of this Devastator. He does have flaws, but over he's a pretty decent combiner, and it's obvious Hasbro designed him with making the vehicle modes and Devastator looking as best as possible, and as a result, the individual robots suffered. Not bad, because there had to be sacrifices, and everyone is going to display him in Devastator mode anyway. I might even dare to say he's one of the better combiners in Combiner Wars.

>>5240897
If you're looking for a Megatron and price isn't an issue, hunt down Hegemon, or the Henkei Megatron. They're good voyager G1 Megatrons. The recent Leader Megatron is a good figure, but he looks a bit big with Devastator, you'd probably want a smaller one.

Even if I could get over their shit proportions and terrible designs, I hate partsforming so there is no devy worth buying.

DX9's Hulkie is the only not-devastator with no parts forming aside from the gun. Hook's crane spits and folds over to become the chest plate and the arms are part of the back/underside of Bonecrusher and Scavenger.

It's legends scale and just as expensive as the Hasbro Devastator though.

We weren't expecting 3rd party levels of detail, we were expecting something that wasn't a scaled up legends combiner.

I've been using the legends figures with my metroplex and combiner teams, but if you think classics is too small, legends would be way too small.

Personally I use Cyberverse Commanders or the old Basics. I'm looking forward to the upcoming 3rd party mini-Megatron, since that's the main guy I'm missing at that scale.

I don't know shit about Transformers stuff, but I see pictures of this thing all the time and it's never painted. Why is that? Initially I always thought I was seeing prototype pics.

Why? That would just make the price unnecessarily expensive. Besides, you know the more complex the figure, there would have been more sacrifices, and Devastator himself wouldn't come out looking as great.

If it wasn't a scaled up legends combiner, you'd all be bitching about the price. And he'd still have hollow bits.

It's a prototype. They get passed around to people because of the smaller nature of unofficial companies. There aren't any final product or production shots yet, just unpainted prototypes so far.
