    Your MS Scrapper needs his feet rotated 180 so the heels can tab into the waist area. That will keep it from coming apart when he is in leg mode. Alternately, if you flip the purple waist flap over, his toes will lock in just as you have them in the video. I'm not sure if having two ways to do it was intentional but Scrapper's feet lock in perfectly either way.

      I have the NA Devy too and I echo your point about the feet. Especially scrapper. He “disconnects” when in foot mode way too easily. I believe NA is aware of this and when the replacement legs come for the 3 bots, his foot will be more solid.

    I like the bulk of the MS, but I hate the colors, especially that weird plum purple. I love the more grape purple on the NA. I also prefer the partsforming and how easily you can put him together and take him back apart. I do sorta want to paint the visor cherry red though.....it's usually NA who does that!

    Magic Square all the way, he's staggeringly good! I absolutely love him even though that initial transformation journey is literal HELL, though it does get better each time you try. NA loses in almost every respect for me, I don't even prefer the colours (which I normally do when it comes to NA).

      Whilst i respect your opinion, mine drastically differs to newage. Newage was capable of creating a combiner that not only holds together better, but is made of better materials and has more acurate colors. I prefer to frame newage has because i don't have to deal with a bunch of different, easily lost pieces. Hell, even the transformations are better. Newage was able to make the figures look just as good as magic square with significantly simpler transformations. Magic square's materials are deplorable, the colors are too muted, the transformations are overcomplicated, and even the combiner's articulation suffers.

The legends Devis are only about $100 less than my masterpice scale Toy World version and thats crazy! Another great video, thanks again.

    I picked up the MS as well for the reasons that you mentioned for winning. However, transforming them sucked and almost made me regret. I was happily surprised with how solid and stable they were once combined though. My mixmaster knee is much tighter than the scrapper side, though neither are bad. Guess it is a case by case thing.
    Great review Deluxe!

    I think that strange purple tone close to some sort of Chewing Gum is the only thing Magic Square have not solved so nice. Transformations also are a bit complex, as usual on this brand. vehicle modes are enough fine for me.

    Been waiting on one of these to help finalize my decision so I really appreciate this Deluxe. Funny enough, that dull purple is exactly what has kept me from the Magic Square so far. Was hoping to hear them announce a EX metallic version by now but nothing. So between that, the ease of transformation (I've seen multiple people say it took them hours to get MS into Devastator and what you've said kinda supports that), and the fact that I'm the weirdo who actually prefers all of the combiner teams themselves to the combiners, I'll probably go in on NewAge. Thanks as always Deluxe! 👏🍻

    My relationship with combiners, especially Devastator, since childhood is complicated. Always loved the concept, but since Bruticus was the only one I ever managed to complete back in the day, with Devastator always being 5/6 (pretty sure it was Bonecrusher I was missing) they always felt extra incomplete due to how long the teams took to finish in my collections.
    All that to preface my question I never thought I'd be able to ask in any way that wasn't rhetorical...
    Which set has the strongest rep for the individual team members? Given I'll be gathering them over time and their prices being pretty close all things considered, I feel what will push me off my proverbial fence is which ones I'll find the most enjoyment with while gathering the full team.
