You know, Hasbro should pay more attention to what fans get up to in their spare time:

Who knows, they might discover a great idea, like making a really cool Devastator to sell, one that people would really want, and one that wasn't a repaint of a silly mould.

I would've thought that the whole "redesigning 20 year old characters with no cartoon tie-in" dealy was listening to their fans. Devastator is a store exclusive, which means that they won't shift enough units to make it worth creating a new mold.
Because that's the current line and Devestator is done up in classic colors.

alright, that is understandable. i guess it is understandable why they just repainted the cybertron version. i jsut am dissapointed that they didnt just redo everything from the old toy. thats what i like about the "Classics" line, they redo everything completely, but keep true to the original designs. but to each his or her own XP. i just knwo my puter is complete with Hot Rod guarding my pc screen XD

Agreed, especially when two of them are the Dust Storm repaint from energon. Not a massive fan of that mould. Poseable but I cant get over the Crane Hook arm.

Very true but i still think they could have done somthing with the crane arm like put it on his back anything than what we have now. Oh well its somthing we just have to acept, like with x brawns front of his car tacked on to his arm. Beware my mighty club fist of doom!!!!:laugh:

Fans are calling it "Classics". Hasbro don't use the word "Classics" anywhere on the packaging of Constructicon Devastator. It's merely a "Classic-themed" toy.

Should be in the BotCon galleries somewhere.

Nope, that's something different: a 15 inch statue shipped in a 12 inch box, if I recall.
The people-sized Devastator is, well, people-sized. I saw it in person at Botcon. It was really quite impressive, even if I did forget the camera...
EDIT: Aha! Found it...
