Warning! A huge Decepticon, Devastator, is approaching fast!
Yes folks, San Diego Comic Con 2015 is just around the corner, and with it, its exclusive version of Devastator, who will come in exclusive packaging adorned with the gigantic Decepticons’ face and featuring an inner tray that makes it look like Devastator is encased in scaffolding. Hook, Mixmaster, Scrapper, and Devastator’s chest wing also feature vac-metalized purple on their chest elements, and Devastator himself sports a new head sculpt.
The best part is, this time, you do not need to just take our word for it. Thanks to Blacklai of TFND, we can share some images of this behemoth. Check out a selection attached to this post, with the main event – the whole gallery – linked above.

Seriously F That.

$300?
These two stores delving into the standup comedy business as a duo now?
hugoboss
Toysource and BBTS are taking preorders. Anyone biting for $300??

Maybe you can distract them with the Class of 1985 Kreons.
mcart
yes
not that it matters much, the HTS left overs will be gone in seconds. Without insider info as to the second they are going online good luck grabbing one.
You hear that everyone, don't bother, don't log on, don't even try… Yeah, may have overplayed my hand there

We'll have our own gallery up soon

Looks like the official MSRP of SDCC Devy will be $179.99. And like previous "exclusives", left overs will be available via Hasbro Toy Shop after the event.

So are the additional paint apps/face/vacmetal worth $20 to you?
gbm
yeah, makes sense.

It may drop a little below 300, maybe closer to 275 over time. Hard to say for sure. Given that it will cost close to 200 at the con, and then counting shipping costs for the large box, 300 is actually not a crazy markup.

So ebay has him up already for 3 bills…..this sound about right?

Even Takara Long Haul doesn't look that great….better but not great.

I think this version is the best to keep in MISB collection, he just looks great in the packaging and to preserve that chrome.

He just has an inaccurate vehicle mode (looks pretty solid in bot mode to me), but he's light years better than Long Haul, I cannot figure out what went wrong there.

Takara Devy or GTFO.

Whoever designed Mix Master did a TERRIBLE JOB!! worst of the six Constructicons!

I was really wanting this version for a long time, but I think I'm going to pass now. I do like the added paint apps and the display box is impressive, but the chrome just doesn't look good. Having two different colors of purple that clash somewhat takes away a lot of the aesthetic appeal of the set. I'm sure the chrome could be stripped with alcohol, but some of the other paint apps would probably be ruined in the process, therefore making this nothing more than an over-priced retail version in a prettier box.
Oh well, that's more money I'll have available for the Takara version.

That's my hope. I couldn't get passes this year, and I'm hoping hts is going to provide easy pickups for this and the combiner fighting ladies.

How nice would it have been if these guys were 6 deluxes? Allowing them to integrate with the other combiners would have been amazing.
A missed trick? Is Devy towering obove the likes of Bruticus necessary?
I was on the fence for a while due to the unnecessary size vs design but will probably pick one up, if I do I'll be looking to the Takara version.

I love the extra caution signs and paint details on the vehicles — I think this set wins the alt mode competition. If I was to get all three sets (I'm not), I would probably display SDCC set as vehicles, Takara as individual bots, and regular Hasbro as the combined mode.
