5.0 out of 5 stars Not as bad as they say it is
I had been hearing a lot of bad things about Devastator when pics of him first got out, about an insane price tag and no robot modes, but he was the one I was looking forward to the most. I figured that I would find him and see for myself how bad he looked and if I didn't like it I wouldn't buy it. So I was at Toys R Us the other day and found the last one on the shelf...

2.0 out of 5 stars Transformers that don't transform
Though the toy looks impressive when combined, the vehicles themselves don't transform. Talk about dissappointing, considering that both in the movie and in the original Devestator, the individual vehicles transformed.
You have to buy the transformable vehicles individually, but they of course cannot combine to form anything.

This review is from: Transformers Movie 2 Combiner - Construction Devastator (Toy)
I had been hearing a lot of bad things about Devastator when pics of him first got out, about an insane price tag and no robot modes, but he was the one I was looking forward to the most. I figured that I would find him and see for myself how bad he looked and if I didn't like it I wouldn't buy it. So I was at Toys R Us the other day and found the last one on the shelf and Devastator didn't look that bad to me...only the price tag did haha. While he is not as big as I had expected (Rumors where he would be 2ft tall at least, but he's a little over 1ft), its still pretty impressive to look at. When you open the box all the constructicons are already transformed into the limbs but are not connected and also a few parts like Scavengers' scoop and Mixmasters' truck cab, but all are easily connected. As in the movie Devastator is very top heavy and must be places in a hunchback or an on all-fours pose. He has and push button activated Vortex similer to the movie and His head expands a good five inchs or so and you can fit legends and scout class figures in there. The box says that transformation for him is a 4 and really I think hes been the easiest to transform out of all the transformers from ROTF! Pretty much its a turn here and pop these in and move that back motions when turning the Constructicons into vehicle mode. One thing that I really didn't like is Mixmaster won't ever shut up and there is no on-off switch and when he is transformed into a vehicle the slightest bump sends him off. All of them look great in vehicle mode exept High Tower as he is brightly colored compared to the other two yellow Constructicons. Paint details are minor as in they have none compared to the voyager and deluxe class Constructicons but I figure I'll paint him myself. So in all he is a decent figure and his price isn't for everybody but if your a fan of the movie Devastator you'll like it.

Pros:
ITS DEVASTATOR!
Quick tranformation
Vortex gimmick is cool
In Robot mode he is good scale to legends class figures

Cons:
Price tag
Paint job could have been a lot better
Not very articulated
No wrecking balls
Mixmaster could have really used an on-off switch

You have to buy the transformable vehicles individually, but they of course cannot combine to form anything.

If they could put the best of both worlds together, easily a 5 star rating, but since they haven't, I can't imagine why anyone would give it a 5.

4.0 out of 5 stars Transformer Devastator, September 23, 2009

This review is from: Transformers Movie 2 Combiner - Construction Devastator (Toy)
My son absolutely loves this transformer! The only problem is the toy is made up of 6 different transformers, so when you assemble them all together, it's difficult to keep it together and play with it too. My son has had a little trouble "clicking" all the parts together, but overall it's a great toy!

2.0 out of 5 stars Not Worth It, February 25, 2010
Durability:3.0 out of 5 stars Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars Educational:1.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Transformers Movie 2 Combiner - Construction Devastator (Toy)
Got this toy for my kid, b/c he wanted it for xmas. This thing doesn't "do" anything except make noise non-stop. No way to switch it off. Also, cannot support itself standing up as a robot, so it has to lie on the floor. At this price I expected much much more. The individual vehicles do not transform into robots, but only limbs of the devestator. There are also some pieces that have to completely come off of the vehicles to transform them into limbs. Those peices are left off to the side when in robot mode. Doesn't that violate something about what a transformer is? Not a fan of this toy.

I don't know what I expected, but what I got was a bit disappointing. The trucks that attach to the Devestator keep falling off. I would be more forgiving if each one transformed into a Deceptacon. For the price of this monstrosity I would hope my 4 year old son would play with it every day. Alas, it is now February and the Devestator has been placed on a shelf to collect dust. He'd much rather create soldiers and dinosaurs with his Kid K'nex. Lesson learned...

2.0 out of 5 stars what a disappointment, December 25, 2009

My son was looking forward to possibly getting this for Christmas for weeks. He did! He was so excited. We put it together and it absolutely, positively won't stand. It is so top heavy it's very difficult to play with. The legs are flimsy at best, keep bending completely closed and the devatator is a weak lump of decepticons not even worth a battle. This toy was a huge disappointment.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great toy for transformer fans, December 12, 2009

I bought this for my four year old who is a die hard transformer fan. He was not concerned that the devastator individual vehicles did not transform into robot mode because the devastator itself is a robot mode. Inserting the legs requires adult help for a little guy, but it was well worth it. It has entertained him all day (a tough job for any four year old) and other than needing to pop on and off the legs, he can do it himself. A great toy!

this item was difficult to put together.when you finally accomplish that task it does not stand up well.The plastic it's made from is brittle,so I worry my son will crack the pieces IF he attempts to put a piece back on.I would not recommend this item to anyone

wasn't as complicated for my son to put together. does not stand up straight, which I was aware of. at least grandson has six x-tra trucks to play with! thought after reading reviews prior to purchase that this was a toy that would not be played with but put on a shelf and looked at. Oh yeah, one of the back hoe bucket broke off.

As Transformers go it is relatively easy to put togather and take apart. The individual units are fun to play with but the devastator put togather is difficult to use and will not even stand up by it's self. Over all my son has enjoyed having it but he really has not played with it.
