Your Own Transformers Experience
Staying true to the movie, Devastator is massive, standing well over a foot in height and dwarfing most other Transformers toys. He is a solid, heavy, and well-built toy. Pulling a lever on his chest causes his mouth (called the Vortex Grinder) to light up with bright, neon-green LED lights. The lever also triggers battle sounds and quotes taken straight from the movie.
Devastator isn’t the most flexible toy around. Because of his size, he can be a bit cumbersome to play with. However, his elbows and knees are articulated, which makes him easier to position and balance. He also has realistic details, which gives him value as a collector’s replica.
Devastator consists of six smaller construction vehicles: the Constructicons. These detailed vehicles are painted in earthy colors suited for their rough construction jobs. Together, the Constructicons form a complete construction team. There is a bulldozer, a dump truck, an excavator, a scoop loader, a mixer and a crawler crane. They prove to be very maneuverable on a hard surface, able to make hairpin turns easily. However, it should be noted that, unlike their film counterparts, these vehicles do not transform into robots individually.
An Enjoyable, Challenging Assembly
Devastator might be one of the biggest transformers around, but it’s also one of the most difficult to put together. Parents should be aware that the Devastator requires some degree of finesse to assemble — and in some cases, strength. Some of the snapping parts are especially tricky to connect together, and prove difficult to pry apart. The toy is labeled as a Level 4 conversion, so younger children will have difficulty converting the toy by themselves. It took our tester (an experienced Transformer player) nearly 15 minutes to figure everything out. Still, putting the toy together should provide a constructive challenge for older kids.

User Ratings and Reviews
4 Stars Good product
This toy was a gift for my 7 year old son. It’s pretty impressive and seemingly well made. It really, REALLY needs an ON/OFF switch! The pieces are fairly easy for my son to transform himself, but he has a little difficulty snapping the limbs onto the body as it takes a bit of force.
Overall it’s a good product.
4 Stars Devastator!
I purchased this during a sale on Amazon.com. Thank goodness! Since it is 6 transformers combined into one, it is more expensive. It is definately the largest transformer my son has, and the heaviest. It does have some difficulty standing up, because its center of gravity is off. None the less, my son likes it very much, and if he’s happy, I’m happy!
5 Stars Devastator for Christmas
When I first heard that hasbro is making the devastator toy from the film i said to myself that it wont be sold in any store in my location. well i was wrong. when i first seen it at my local wal-mart, i was shocked that it was available in my location. since i saw it i wanted it!
PROS
-having it is a pro all in itself
-transforming the vehicles into the “body parts” can be done without the instructions, which is saying alot (if you own other transF. from the movies you know what i mean)
-devastator is a great collector to have for a transF. fan!
CONS
-unfortunately it does have some. first off, i recomend you take the batteries out of mixmaster because he is more sensitive than a fire alarm( he is always going off at the slightest touch). sure the sounds go great with the toy but not with your patience or low annoyance level
-this really isnt a con but its sad that devastator requires you to put six vehicles together in order to form devastator and you expect it to be extremely hard but its not, the con here is that transforming the leader class optimus prime is practically a rubix cube compared to combining devastator
3 Stars grandsons dream toy
wasn’t as complicated for my son to put together. does not stand up straight, which I was aware of. at least grandson has six x-tra trucks to play with! thought after reading reviews prior to purchase that this was a toy that would not be played with but put on a shelf and looked at. Oh yeah, one of the back hoe bucket broke off.
5 Stars Transformer Construction Devastator
My grandson was THRILLED when he opened this on Christmas! He’s been asking for this toy for months & I was “bound & determined” to get it for him! I was very happy with the price on Amazon & was thrilled with the free shipping. Plus, it only took 3 days to get to me…that was the best of all!
