Thanks to the Perfect Effect Facebook page, we have a couple third party items to potentially add to your wish list. We’re continuing the trend of Devastator news by passing along two new kits that will give your Hasbro Combiner Wars Devastator some new hands / elbows for that extra articulation, as well as an IDW inspired kit to turn your Devastator into Prowlstator!
No pricing or release date information is up yet, there will be two separate kits titled PC-06 (Prowlstator head and other accessories) and PC-07 (hands / elbows). We have mirrored the images after the jump of each kit.
Who’s adding on to their Devastators? Sound off after the jump.

PC-07 is easy to find. PC-06, unfortunately, is not.
I was about to post the last place I knew of but sadly no longer in stock (x2otoys). I ordered mine from there and took 3 months (USPS of course lost my package for about a month of that).
Prefer this set over the DNA Design set.
Edit:
Yahobby is a fake site.
I was gonna say eBay too but someone is offering a set way too high of a price atm.

Does anyone have this set in stock?

Do you know if someone made 3d pieces of the shovel and hook? It is the only thing that interests me this kit … I was going to buy it only for those 2 pieces but it is exhausted and I think it is not really worth it for what you could read and see in a video ..

Does anyone have stock versions of all 6 UW arms they'd like to part w/?

DNA – no floppy treads here

Just received my PC-06 2016 edition and installed most of the parts. I didn't see a need to add Hook's upgrade, and I'm not really crazy about the Prowl head. I love the new foot for Long Haul, and the hands work just fine too. I think my only complaint is how the Bonecrusher and Scavenger's treads flop around.

There should be a mechanism that lets the cab move while attached to take care of that.

If it's any consolation the arms on my UW Scrapper are so tight that I'm afraid I might snap off the mushroom peg before getting an elbow bend so I tend not to use them.

Bummer, well at least I got a cheap set of guns.

Common problem. They do indeed suck.

Sorry to resurrect this thread.
My Scrapper Forearms don't stay on.
Light force or spinning the arm undoes the new forearm from the peg.
Is this a common problem, and is there a mod/fix for this?

So I broke down and got the Perfect Effect PC-07 forearms and guns set.
Here's my opinion of the set:
1) Definitely worth the $29.99 price tag.
2) The guns are great and they're worth the price of admission all by themselves. I saw someone say that the instructions are too small and they can't tell who's guns belong to who. That wasn't the case for me. You can clearly tell where they belong. The plastic quality is solid. They also store nicely on the back of Devastator. (on Longhaul's truck bed)
3) I really like the forearms for Scrapper. Very nice in both vehicle and robot modes. The problem is when Scrapper is in leg mode. The forearms aren't wide enough and they don't stay attached solidly to support Devastator's weight. I left them off because my Constructions stay in Devastator mode.
4) The forearms for Hook are really nice too. But I left them off because there is no connection clip on them to click into Longhaul in Devastator mode. I didn't want the stability of Devastator to suffer.
5) I installed the forearms on Mixmaster. They look great and work well. They're sleeker than the stock arms and the hand sculpt looks alot better. The silver barrel looks alot better than the stock ones as well.
6) I also like the forearms for Longhaul. They look great. Alot better than his puny stock arms. They also store nicely and fill in the gaps on his truck bed in Devastator mode.
If you have the Hasbro CW Devastator, I definitely recommend this set.

I just got the replacement arms set and my scrapper arms could attach better. Like, when I try to rotate them they fall off. I think I'm gonna try "locking" them on with some bondic/5secondfix/lazer bond.
They do hold up devy about as well as the stock arms though.
I did have some other issues though. Long Hauls arm addons were very loose due to not being riveted on securely. I ultimately had to remove the rivet, sand the plastic post down some and deepen the hole in it, then replace the rivet with some glue.
Another issue I had was that Hook and Scrappers arms not exactly fitting "right" in alt mode. On hook the arm bumps up on the hinge for combined mode, keeping it popped out a tiny bit in alt mode. Scrapper basically has a similar issue, his forearms are just a hair to long, meaning they don't fit snugly in place.
Overall I do like the set, the forearms are SOOOO much better on scrapper, and the arms for the rest make them quite passable. The guns also are quite nice, but you might need to sand down the handles as needed.
Honestly though… if I could redo things I would probably just get the takara set. XD

Here I go being the latest to necro this thread, but I was wondering about whether the Perfect Effect PC-07 guns are compatible with and, maybe even more importantly, look decent on the individual Maketoys Green Giant bots.
I'm assuming there's a real size disparity, as PC-07 is meant for Voyager-class figures, and the GG figures are Deluxe-sized… but I can't seem to find any pics on Google of anyone using the combination.
I know Shapeways has G1-inspired guns meant more for TFC's / Maketoy's Devastator offerings, but they're almost $12 a pop ($72 total) vs. PC-07 at just $30.
Any insight would prove useful!!

someone should make a stand alone figure of Prowl and new Hook figure. Prowl will be the new upper torso and Hook the new right leg. Can't just have Prowl's head on Devastator and call it Prowlstator.

If there's anyone out there who doesn't want the purple thigh pieces that came with the Perfect Effect PC-06 upgrade for Combiner Wars Devasator, please PM me. I desperately want to buy them from you.
Mine popped out and ended up on the floor. My dogs used it as a chew toy and I don't want to buy another whole upgrade set just to replace the little plastic thigh pieces.
I live at zip code 21921. Thanks in advance to anyone who responds.

Appreciate that! A board member and I already hooked up though
A little blue tack and some modification and my Herc is now rocking the new head/Prowl stuff.

You can have mine, I have absolutely no use or desire for it. PM me an address and I'll forward it on.

This set is ABSOLUTELY worth the price for the Mixmaster Cab, the Scavenger shovel, the crane boom for Hook, the hands, and the purple leg pads. All are absolutely fantastic.
I will say that I'm not a fan of the Prowl head or the shoulders.
I used my set on Hasbro version of CW Devasator.
