German Transformers fansite NTF-Archive.de has posted scans of the catalog available at the Nuremberg Toy Fair showing off the upcoming Kre-O Devastator. This set is composed of four individual constructicon robots that can be rebuilt into their respective vehicle modes, as well as can be combined into one to form Devastator.
Speaking of Toy Fair, stay tuned to TFW2005.com this weekend as the New York Toy Fair coverage begins.

Devastator looks really play skoolish.

I'm just going to keep them in vehicle mode anyway and let the kreons run rampant.

After days of contemplating this, i think i've decided that i like it.

I just threw up in my mouth a little.

It feels wrong to come here and poke a stick at a dead horse, but that is after all 90% of what we do here on a daily basis, so why not!
This 'thing' (and I use that term losely) is fugly. Not much of a Kre-o guy to being with, which probably explains why I'm not turned on by Devi here, but I have to say this a shameful interpretation into a Lego-like character.

Where are you seeing Sunstorm? I honestly don't see anything that resembles him…
Ummm…yes it is his head.
There is no way that is his shoulder.
That's his chest. It does look like it can hold a kreon, but that is most definitely NOT his head.

That's not his head, and is NOT blacked out – if you look closer, that's his left upper arm/shoulder. The head is the grey part with the translucent windows, I bet a Kreon can sit in there.
To me, it looks like he is composed of five vehicles:
– Large red treaded excavator with claw-arm and wrecking ball (forms body and left arm)
– Orange dumptruck (forms right leg)
– Yellow front loader (forms left leg)
– Green drill (forms right arm)
– Yellow excavator (forms the 'tail').
Also, anyone noticed the translucent purple energon cube Kreo-blocks?
BB Shockwave
His head is obviously a cockpit for the little Constructicon (Scrapper maybe?) to sit inside. That is a clever idea.
But I generally dislike Kre-O, because heck, I could make better transformable Lego TFs (yes, without having to disassemble them) when I was a kid…
The Kreons on the other hand, are pure love. Especially since they are compatible with Lego. I am eagerly awaiting news of the Kreon packs.

I don't see how it's insulting to them. If anything, anybody expecting G1 colors from this set were delusional. It was right in the first description of him that the colors would be movie-based.
The set appears to be a prototype. The Kreons are still missing their face and torso printings, and Devs himself could be missing any stickers or printing he might have for the production toy. His head is certainly missing any kind of detail to it.

Kind of insulting to the ones wanting g-1 when one of the kre-on constructicons with it has g-1 colours. It looks okay but also unifinished
Laservampire
Suddenly not looking forward to it anymore.
Purple Heart
oh and also if you stop long enough to notice he has a head its un painted and also that the recking ball can swing if you notice a peice of string feeding through his arm at his elbow
Purple Heart
you guys are a bunch of assholes! well not all of you but come on! its a mix of g1 and movie devy its just like all the kre-o sets! if you think about it and it comes with what looks like SUNSTORM! for the first time in a little kreon form!
Devastator Zero
Wow…just…how…sigh.
I don't like it. I was hoping it be more G1-y, or at least colored like G1 so you could make either ROTF or G1 out of it.
Well, more money for the FoC Bruticus to get my gestalt fix!
Shatterpoint
….I like it.
UltraMagnus2008
Whoa, I can see it now….so, wow….they should rename this Scorponok then cause that looks even more ******ed now
PropagandaWar
I was stoked when I heard they were doing Devastator because previously Hasbro stated they were doing G1 stuff. But this! Seriously! Did they not notice the lack of sales on the toy itself. Man they need a new Manager that know's whats up.
Ravenxl7
The same picture everybody else is. As you can see in foratastyplot's post (quoted below), Devastator has no visible mouth, cause his head has been blacked out, or is just entirely black on this prototype. I'm not saying there isn't a Kreon figure dangling amongst Devastator's parts, as there clearly is one there, but that is most definitely NOT his mouth.
iTeruri
That's not his head… That's his claw. His head is beneath that. Like Ravenxl7 said, his head is blacked out.
JAYSCREAM
