2005 Boards member uranusdd has shared with us some very nice, clear, high-resolution photos of the recently released Takara-Tomy Encore 20A Devastator Animation version. The great thing about these photos is they give us side-by-side comparisons of each Constructicon letting us appreciate all the little changes, like the lighter shades of green and purple, that went into this release to maximize the show accuracy alongside the more obvious ones like the new head for the combined mode. Read on to check out the gallery.

Yes, colour consistency is better and the repainted faces are excellent.
However, I cannot find any information about how the JB-07 upgrade will look with this set. If it doesn't match I wonder will TFC/JB do a remould?

I'm not 100% sold on the color but I do like that the color is consistent. I'll wait for some more in-hand pics to determine for myself.

^yeah I noticed that too. The yellowish green parts on encore 20 looks ugly, which further turns me off this release.

Am I the only one who thinks that they simply altered the majority of the green plastic to the same yellow-green that many of the Encore set parts already were?
Like Scavenger's shovel, Hook's crane, Bonecrusher's canopy, etc—they were all already yellow-green, and clashed with the rest of the green plastic. But this new set simply made ALL the parts that color.
In other words—some of the Encore set already was this color.

uranusdd

Feralstorm
Keeps inching closer to yellow.

The colour sure is more cartoon accurate though

mine had the very loose attachment at the metal pin, a bit of nail polish fixed it very simply though.
i fiddle around with encore devvy quite a bit and at least he has quite a diffeent look overall so i might get this.

I'm not sure if I like the more yellowish green, but I do like the less bluish purple, the new Devs head, and I LOVE the new animation accurate Constructicon heads.
I am still very much irritated that this wasn't the initial Encore release, even if I'm not big on the yellowish green that's used on the 'bots. I don't know why Takara opted to release it this way since other Encore releases have featured slight differences compared to the originals (though not all). So yeah, my seat's still reserved on that Waaaaaaahmbulance.
Was that a common problem on the Encore release? I don't recall any major QC issues other than a bunch in Hong Kong or something that came with Mixmaster's head missing.

Did they fix the bonecrushing falling off all the time problem (in devastator mode)?
Theprimeoflegen
is that a yellowy green or is it the flash of the camera?

think the purple is a lot better but finf te green too yellow. i think just a bit closer to green would be perfect.

the g2 set might fit more. as it looks to be about the g2 set's colors for the attachments.
just how many heads do you need?

Man I didn't want to buy another Encore Devy but this is looking real nice.
Matty
Those colors look very crisp. I'd have bought this in a second if I didn't already have the first Encore version.

I can't afford it this month because of Soundwave. But now it's settled – I want that.
