I remember the rumors during Combiner Wars with regards to Devastator - some people actually believed that Hasbro bought the molds from TFC to release them as the Combiner Wars Titan class. This set along with City Commander from FansProject were my and many others first steps into the world of 3rd party - cause those were basically THE first steps. I still love the combiners from TFC to this very day. Especially Hercules / Devastator.

I had heard of it even before seeing it in person at the horribly named local Wisconsin _Dairycon_ transformers "convention" (the event had no major hosts and the building wasn't very big) And seeing it awkwardly perched upon its own box left a very odd sensation of equal parts awe and mild disgust, cuz it was just unceremoniously _there_ with the upgrade kit half installed, at very slightly above eye level. Meanwhile other tables were chock full of BotBots, the first three waves of studio series, and pre-order scalper's copies of beast wars masterpiece Megatron

I Still have my old set from When they were $100 a figure. It was quite a Treat to pose and transform each constructicon every few months as they were gradually released. So I don't regret it considering the community experience of having the time ghost in hand. We were not sure if the set would be finished or if TFC would go bankrupt first. The combined mode is somewhat modeled on the IDW comic book model at the time. Great review. A good throwback to simpler 3rd party times.
@coffeeinhandproductions3238
Ай бұрын
$150 for this complete/upgraded is quite the find. Easily puts the Combiners Wars to shame given it was a complete set for about 200 at the time. While I think the combined mode looked serviceable it was impossible to get past are cheap, and awful each individual component in the set looked. Definitely had no difficulty holding off and looks like 2025 will be well worth the wait as 86 Devastator is reportedly getting both the Commander class and Voyager class treatment throughout the year. For 3rd part this is very good, and shows a combined form doesn't have to be obnoxiously complicated or have a lot of parts forming to be either animation accurate or stable. Hope Hasbro's taking notes.

Honestly, he's still a favorite... minus the joints in combined mode... even after replacing the hips for Long Haul, he can't stand the best in combined mode... which is a shame. Especially since I was an early adopter too, so I paid the 100$/figure back in the day.............. Agreed about the Rage of Hercules set being mostly optional. The set absolutely doesn't need the addons. One of the best parts about this set was that, minus the hands, the figure was a completely self-contained combiner. I mean, the shoulder extensions can be nice, I suppose, but eh. (Wound up using it for an energon combiner, which could use the extensions.) Chest bits are mostly a G1 purist wishlist item. I frankly can take it or leave it.

Maketoys Giant is objectively better for half the price (at least at the time), but this is nice too. If what you want is a huge Devastator that makes up for the giant disappointment of the G1 toy that was roughly the size of a modern Voyager, this is your bot. If you want a great set of Deluxe-sized Constructicons that also combine into a decent Devastator, you should get Maketoys Giant. I was not paying $600 for an articulated statue...if the individual bots aren't good enough on their own, I'm not buying them just because they combine.
