What’s 18-Inches Tall, Bright Green, And Wants To Stomp Optimus Prime?
Last week, we were able to bring you hands-on impressions of the upcoming Generation 1-inspired Transformers: Devastation. If that’s something that made you smile as much as it made me grin, you might want to keep reading.
The current Transformers toy line is called “Combiner Wars.” Unlike the gestalts of years gone by, any of the compatible Deluxe size toys can be configured as an arm or a leg for the larger, Voyager figures.
Currently, you can get the Aerialbots to form Superion, the Protectobots to from Defensor, and the Stunticons to create Menasor. Bruticus, who was featured in Transformers: War for Cybertron, will be coming down the line, too.

However, there is one name missing: Devastator. Hasbro is releasing a mammoth 18-inch tall version of the original Transformers combiner.
He comes with all six of the Constructicons: Scrapper, Long Haul, Mixmaster, Hook, Bonecrusher, and Scavenger. They are designed in their traditional bright green and purple, but with added articulation, this Devastator puts the version you had as a kid to shame.

He’s available for pre-order now from Amazon and will ship in early August. Suggested retail price is $149.99. Transformers: Devastation will be out this fall for Xbox One, Xbox 360, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, and PC.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
