It is a very good set in combined mode especially if you add on the Liketoys upgrade kit that was $35 or so. The individual bots were ok. Better options for those by the new companies.
yes I was HOPING some one would do a compilation video of ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL the 3rd party Devastator sets xD Can't wait for you guys can do a MORE COMPLETE one once all the teased ones are released :D
They all look great. 01 Studio looks to be a buy, I like the Cybertronian G1 feel to them. 01 Studio should make The Bumblebee movie characters. Dreamstar's Dev looks great, I don't like Prowl and or the extra bots apart of the team, way too many. MMC looks like a poorly animated G1 episode Devastator. I hope you both do more comparison episodes for the other Combiners. If not already, maybe a comparison episode, for Omega Supreme. Great episode!!! Thank you both
The XTransbots legs on Hook is correct looking completely bare on one side like that because the toon has his legs all grey except the one piece of window shell on the side of his foot. I'm thinking the green panels on the backs of the legs will wrap around and cover a lot of it. I'm interested to see, they look good
I think James should run for congress. He's amazing at spending other people's money!😅 I think DST looks the coolest. I think 01 studio looks the worst. The hasben isn't a masterpiece, so I don't include this set in the conversation. The Vectron lab isn't happening. Great show guys!
nahhhhh that Hasbro bonecrusher and scrapper are legit retools of the CW. Which were already Oversized Core Class figures T_T. Now its just smaller lmao
Outstanding! I was looking for someone to compare the various Devistators coming out. I'm already in on Mecha Invasion & Dreamstar. 01-Studio is looking good and Cang Toys has piqued my interest. I already have MakeToys, Generation Toy, and the GT oversized KO with a G1 mod kit.
As I’m sure MDLX will not be making a Devastator, I finally gave in and bought Scrapper from Dream Star Toys. Their stylized Dev will look good behind my MDLX decepticons on display. Bobby should help out his wallet and get his favorite Devastator in green and wait for the yellow and orange (you know they’re coming) to get his 2nd and third favorite. Or else he will have a Devastator room.
Great break down guys, it was nice seeing a bit of 3P history as part of this! It would be cool to see videos like this for other characters or companies. I've had the Jinbao Gravity Builder and the Hasbro Combiner Wars Devy for a while, but the new ones are scratching a different itch. I'm supporting FT (toon) and XTB (toy) in the MP size, though the 01 Studios is very tempting... (maybe if I get a raise and nothing else is coming out - no clue where I'd put it though). I like the MMC one in concept, but the only really interesting thing it has going for it is the all-built-in combiner. The bots and vehicles are pretty generic, and the fact that it's smaller than the others doesn't help it. Dreamstar's past QC issues are enough for me to avoid their bots for now. I like the aesthetics of their designs but they haven't been able to back it up with their engineering and materials. I love what Zeta has done in the past, but at their current release rate it's likely going to be 2030 before their Devy is complete. I do worry that some of these may take several years to complete. FT & XTB both seem to be pushing these out at a decent pace, but it still may be nearly three years (or more) to finish one! Hasbro and MechInvasion have the right idea to get a complete combiner out within a year, which I know is not realistic for most companies. I completely understand that these are long-term projects and for most 3P the current figure funds the next one, so expecting faster timelines is probably a recipe for disaster.
Magic Square Devastator is the best Devastator out there hands down!! perfect proportions, perfect bot modes, Perfect alt modes and I'm waiting for them to release mp size devastator like they doing with their perfect bruticus.
I'll be interested in the cang-toys legends for devastator since I am in the market for one after the failure of lucky cat. Since I have there predaking I know they can make a combiner and it would match the style of that one. Most of my legends combiners are iron factory so that's the style I'm going for not super G1 looking but enough there so you know what it is.
Great show! Man, I had no idea how many versions of Devastators were in the works! I like my Newage Devastator. If Hasbro comes out with a box set, I will get it and keep it MISB. Other than that, I think I’m good. Devastator is not the figure I find myself compelled to have many versions of. For me, that’s Grimlock.
I'm fixing to throw another main line contender in the mix, because I know they're coming out with it" I've got a feeling in my bones!", as Mr.Justin Timberlake would say. 🤣 Dr. Wu., God bless I hope you all know I'm kidding
In regards to SS86 Dev, I totally get the individual bots being graded less than some of the the third party sets; however, the gestalt mode of SS86, in terms of cartoon accuracy, kills the rest. For me it's not even a competition in that regard. Scale is personal preference. The G1 cartoon was all over the place in terms of scale. That said, the SS86 Dev fits very well with the 86 movie Dev scale. The Dinobots were very large in relation to Dev.
So glad that Vectron Labs crashed out at this point. Im struggling to keep up at this point. Just drop my preorder for Mech Invasion. Had MMC in preorder. Havent decide on getting dreamstar, 01 studios and Cang Toys yet. My wallet has started crying...
That SG Devastator by TFC was more than a few years ago, more like seven years ago. I sold mine last year on eBay for $200 with the crazy Devi upgrades. It wasn’t g1 accurate at all.
Love the sneak peak in the behind the scenes bloopers in the first three minutes....😊 Really hoping Mecha Invasion does an SG or G2 version of their Devastator. Bobby's reaction to seeing the XTB repaints for the first time was gold. Pretty sure Omega Supreme(s) ran through his head...😅 The renders from MMC look completely different from the prototypes they showed off at TFCon. At least to my eyes. Definitely skipping the Hasblow version, my MS Legends scale Devastator looks way better.
Mecha may have taken three collecting community by storm. Very good figures for the price and creative look. I don't know if I had seen them before but would have imagined I should have. Always genuine reactions from me I guess 🤷🏾. The Hasbro would be the last one I picked up and that would be after I picked up the Legends version.
Yeah, bottomline: Ha$bro version is great for young fans / kids. That’s it. For an adult collector, look elsewhere. I can’t help but cringe & laugh every time I look at them, and glad the gaslighting didn’t take full effect & cancelled my preorders. Mecha. Invasion. Giant. Legion. And be damned that Mecha is still to some a lil small in height, looks amazing. Some of us don’t have the budget to spend $200 per constructor.
Hasbro is fine for simpler transformation though Mecha Invasion could play in that realm as well as price point. Some people are interested in only combine mode so their attention still stands on Hasbro. Don't think we are on that same page with the people who are choosing Hasbro over the other options.
That all-built-in Dev from MMC needs to be judged differently. It's in a league/category of its own. No other Dev is going for the G1 look AND featuring zero partsforming. Even if you prefer the aesthetics of a different set, I find it really bizarre how MMC's gets hand-waved away as "boring". It's impressive from every aspect when you consider what it does.
Most of the Devys are doing something different. Mecha invasion has changed the limbs around and adding Grimlock, DreamStar has added Prowl, Studio 1 has unique alt modes and it's not unique for MMC to do an all in one as they are doing it with their other combiners. I think it is fair to throw them in thiese comparisons because it is their version of Devy God or bad compared to all the others and their takes on the character(s).
21:21 "you would ask me that"! Lmfao 😂😂
He always does that. I need to have the figures with me when wet stay going deeper into the individual bots
“I also don’t like that Prime can’t hold his gun straight.”
Made me choke on my cereal laughing, no joke. Loved that. Perfect comedic timing. 🤣
Glad to keep you laughing.
wow one of the best episodes, congratulations. Please keep on goinf with more "wars"
Thank you. We plan to
I think Bobby needs to buy all of these Devastators so we can get an accurate view on which one he likes the best. Wallet be damned.
I thought we were better than that 🤦🏾♂️ lol
@@thelibraview9032 Poor Bobby. He’s going to need to add on to his house just so he can have a room of nothing but green…and yellow…and orange.
@@SynastarAlpha 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@botvscon 🤣🤣🤣
@@botvsconm😊😊
xtrans looking really amazing. gotta respect MMC all in one.
Agreed
21:53 looking at FansToys Wright in limb mode; is that just the back of his head sat there on the shoulder?
It does look like his head may just be turned around.🤷🏾
7:12 This is why the GT KOOS by Jinbao is my MP Devy to this day. Only Dreamstar makes me think about getting a second Devy.
It is a very good set in combined mode especially if you add on the Liketoys upgrade kit that was $35 or so. The individual bots were ok. Better options for those by the new companies.
@@botvscon Yep. That's the only way to go. Still hoping they make one for the JinBao OSKO Bruticus. I am a GT simp.
51:54 Vehicles can turn with two front steering axles. There was even a Formula One car in the 70s with this technology before it was banned.
True the Stunticons Dragstrip had 2 sets of front wheels.
21:20. They are a different hue. Part of it is because the fists are a flat green
Thanks for confirming
Think of it this way, they are considering your shelf space by having the 86 12 inches in height 😊 lol
I appreciate your perspective🙄 they are also considering my wallet since I won't have to worry paying for it
@botvscon haha touche
yes I was HOPING some one would do a compilation video of ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL the 3rd party Devastator sets xD
Can't wait for you guys can do a MORE COMPLETE one once all the teased ones are released :D
Coming soon! Thanks for watching
Bobby the “Bought” cause you know he always buys that shit 🤣
The pressure
They all look great. 01 Studio looks to be a buy, I like the Cybertronian G1 feel to them. 01 Studio should make The Bumblebee movie characters. Dreamstar's Dev looks great, I don't like Prowl and or the extra bots apart of the team, way too many. MMC looks like a poorly animated G1 episode Devastator. I hope you both do more comparison episodes for the other Combiners. If not already, maybe a comparison episode, for Omega Supreme. Great episode!!! Thank you both
We will take that into consideration. Thanks for the input
@@botvscon You're welcome
Love ya chemistry, keep up the good work. Glad everyone seems to be kicking the ick and feeling better. Peace, light & love.
Thank you. We are trying to kick it. Blessings and happy holidays your way
Woot, I was wondering when this would drop. Hope you guys had a great Christmas!
It's about time, right? Merry Christmas to you. Hope you enjoyed
It sounds like bobby Going to need a second job
And a third and maybe Uber and Door Dash
The XTransbots legs on Hook is correct looking completely bare on one side like that because the toon has his legs all grey except the one piece of window shell on the side of his foot. I'm thinking the green panels on the backs of the legs will wrap around and cover a lot of it. I'm interested to see, they look good
We will be diving into the bots soon. I am very curious to what each member from each company does well or needs improvement
Yea, the white TFC devastator was my first third party transformer, exactly because of the big sale.
I missed our on that and would like that in my collection.
I wish Prowl was the same size as Optimus finally
What media is Prowl the same size as Optimus? I never knew them to be the same size.
Magic Square's repaint "A series" won my personal Devastator war last year. I am considering getting their G2 yellow version as well though.
I want a yellow Devy.
I have the undersized KO of CW devastator. Not sure if i want the SS-86 devastator yet.
I am happy with my CW so I think I've decided to skip on the Hasbro completely even if a KO comes out.
I think James should run for congress. He's amazing at spending other people's money!😅 I think DST looks the coolest. I think 01 studio looks the worst. The hasben isn't a masterpiece, so I don't include this set in the conversation. The Vectron lab isn't happening. Great show guys!
Thanks for watching. There are some serious options for everyone out there. It's going to be very expensive 🤦🏾♂️
nahhhhh that Hasbro bonecrusher and scrapper are legit retools of the CW. Which were already Oversized Core Class figures T_T. Now its just smaller lmao
🎯🎯🎯🤣
I haven't touched my figures in a few years so I won't argue with you on that. Thanks for sharing

You are going to have a nice collection of Devys as well!

Devastator room for 2025/2026
I wish someone would do a new Abominus. I missed out on Zeta's version and it's my favorite combiner.
Unique Toys is rereleasing their version and Craftsman is releasing it in Legends scale
I have Hercules it was like 600 and change over hundred dollars each vehicle / limb
Sounds about right
I love my CW. Will be picking up SS-86 as well
You will have to let us know how it is. I my CW as well.
Great break down guys, it was nice seeing a bit of 3P history as part of this! It would be cool to see videos like this for other characters or companies.

All very good points. There are pros and cons about each one it seems.
Magic Square Devastator is the best Devastator out there hands down!! perfect proportions, perfect bot modes, Perfect alt modes and I'm waiting for them to release mp size devastator like they doing with their perfect bruticus.
Now are you saying this based on handling all of the other options or just by looks?
I'll pick up 3 of them because they are different. Will cancel my hasbro pre-orders. Nice reviews guys 👍
Thanks. Which 3 are you in for?
I'm good with my green jin bao with the upgrade kit... which is the price of one fanstoys fig
That is a good set especially with the upgrade kit
I'm definitely in on XTB, however. That Studio Cell might be bought also. I do have Toy Worlds currently!
I'm with you on your choices. Which version of Toy World do you have?
The regular green and purple one
I waited weeks since this was announced. Was not disappointed and well worth the wait. Great way to send 2024 off
We're glad you liked the video. We have a lot of fun making these videos.
I'll be interested in the cang-toys legends for devastator since I am in the market for one after the failure of lucky cat.

Most of my legends combiners are iron factory so that's the style I'm going for not super G1 looking but enough there so you know what it is.
I hear you, I’m looking forward to seeing what they come up with in general.
I actually own the Generation toys Devastator he was actually my second Third party figure I ever gotten
This was a bit of nostalgia for you then maybe when we brought it up.
Great show! Man, I had no idea how many versions of Devastators were in the works! I like my Newage Devastator. If Hasbro comes out with a box set, I will get it and keep it MISB. Other than that, I think I’m good. Devastator is not the figure I find myself compelled to have many versions of. For me, that’s Grimlock.
So many versions to choose from which makes it fun or maybe insane. Red or blue pull I guess.

For me it's not even a competition in that regard. Scale is personal preference. The G1 cartoon was all over the place in terms of scale. That said, the SS86 Dev fits very well with the 86 movie Dev scale. The Dinobots were very large in relation to Dev.
You will have to let us know your thoughts when you get it as I'm assuming by your statement.
So glad that Vectron Labs crashed out at this point. Im struggling to keep up at this point. Just drop my preorder for Mech Invasion. Had MMC in preorder. Havent decide on getting dreamstar, 01 studios and Cang Toys yet.
My wallet has started crying...
Dreamstars version has super stumpy legs. It's off the table..
I think my wallet just served me divorce papers
The next Devastator is going to be the Magic Square, MP upscale.
That would be good and bad. I don't need it and there are only so many combinations of paying available 🤦🏾♂️
That SG Devastator by TFC was more than a few years ago, more like seven years ago. I sold mine last year on eBay for $200 with the crazy Devi upgrades. It wasn’t g1 accurate at all.
Dogs you sell it because it wasn't G1 accurate or did you not like it?
@ it’s very limited in how you can pose it, and the robots look terrible, and it looks cheap.
Love the sneak peak in the behind the scenes bloopers in the first three minutes....😊
Really hoping Mecha Invasion does an SG or G2 version of their Devastator.
Bobby's reaction to seeing the XTB repaints for the first time was gold. Pretty sure Omega Supreme(s) ran through his head...😅

01 Studios mix master would turn normally, we have trucks with 4 wheels at the front in the UK and Europe
I haven't seen any recently but I know the vehicles existed.
Can we please get someone on the phone to get that White SG Devestator remade. I also didn't know about it but I love it!
It would be nice
Loving ft Devy
Nice!
Wow...
Hope that is excitement
Very few bad ways to go in this iteration of the Devy wars.
Something for everybody
