The biggest and best Devastator

I'm in the market for him but I'm finding a few and it's getting confusing.

Can someone explain to me which Devastator is the biggest and all around best?
Im guessing it's 3rd party?
Also be nice if I knew where to buy it lol

Re: The biggest and best Devastator

first of all, "biggest" does not necessarily equal to "best"

the biggest one right now, so far is CW devastator but have crappy individual robot modes and you need 3rd party upgrades to fix its shortcomings

toyworld's devastator seems to be quite "big" too

years ago, people consider TFC's hercules and maketoy's giant to be the "best", but look at now with even more devastator offerings and people are unloading those 2.....so what you get "now" may not be the "best" in the future

Re: The biggest and best Devastator

You may want want to wait till the generation toy and toyworld's offerings are available before making a decision. But as chroma stated, deals can be had, especially for hercules I've noticed

If budget is an issue, then cw dev gives you a lot of bot for the buck

Well, you got:

-1985, the first one, it's not that big.
-1990, the Action Master, it's like a GI Joe figure
-1993, under the G2 name, exact same mold as 1985, but could be orange or yellow.
-early 2000s had a Japanese and North American PVC figurine. Very cartoon-esque, roughly the same height as the Action Master
-2004, had a Micromaster set repainted to be like Devastator
-Energon era had Constructicon Maximus, not "Devastator" exactly, but we all know who he was supposed to be
-2006 had an exclusive, it was repainted from RiD's Landfill
-2007 repainted Energon's Constructicon Maximus, and actually called it Devastator
-2015 Combiner Wars Devastator, very big, 6 current sized Voyagers compared to other Combiner Wars are 4 Deluxes with a Voyager torso.

Outside of Hasbro and Takara's versions above, there have been other non-action figure stuff like Hard Hero Devastator bust.

As for Knock-Offs, there are the 1985 in green, orange-y yellow, as well a multi-colored version. There are also a slightly smaller version, as well as a tiny version that's in scale with Micromasters.

As for Wanna-Be's, there are 3rd Party companies that make Devastator-like construction vehicles that combine into a bigger robot. They are called:

-Gravity Builder
-Hercules
-Constructor
-Giant

I'm not sure with if Gravity Builder and Constructor are out yet, but I saw Hercules and Giant as toy shows.

I'm sure there are going to be people here that will post pics of the not-Devastators. Hope that helps a little.

Re: The biggest and best Devastator

Just get the UW or CW Devastator, you probably won't regret down the road. I can't say he is the best, but he is decent and worth every penny. They are probably the only Devy that the value will hold or go up. Get it now before too late.

Re: The biggest and best Devastator

TW is the biggest so far, which will release soon.
Personally I think CW Devastator + the XS upgrade-kit looks the best, and it's the 2nd largest.

IMO the best is UW Devastator because of the individual heads. And it is currently the biggest out. Of course in the future bigger ones will come out.

Re: The biggest and best Devastator

IMO TFC hercules is the worst looking of all the devastators, i hate everything about it. Maketoys green giant is my favourite 3rd party Devastator but My favourite Devastator is the Takara Titan unite warriors Devastator with the perfect upgrade set that comes with the Prowl head, all of the problems that the hasbro version has are fixed with the Takara version. He is awesome.
