孩之星 Cool Become Brave KO Downsized Transformers Combiner Wars Devastator ( Constructicons )

Finally gotten this super nice gestalt! Constructicons!!! This size is just nice to go with the Combiner Wars Bruticus ( KO version ) that I have, which also happens to be from the same company that made this downsized Devastator. Plastic seemed to be the close to the "shampoo bottle" type, as superglue does not adhere well to it, and it feels very "oily". Nevertheless, this type of plastic will be the more durable type, so am not complaining. Overall joints are reasonably tight, some overly tight, and only a couple are loose. As with all KOs, some tightening of the joints with superglue, touching up of peg-holes, swapping of wrongly assembled parts, etc etc has to be done. Wanted to paint the wheel rims to silver but feel that this could make the overall cartoonish look go away... Anyway, am likely to put some Decepticon logos onto it... First up are Scrapper and Mixmaster, the legs...




Next 2 of the Constructicons... Scavenger and Bonecrusher, the arms..




Final 2 of the Constructicons... Hook and Long Haul, the torso(s)...




" Constructicons , transform! Phase 1!" "Now, transform! Phase 2!!" "Prepare to meet your doom, nothing can withstand the might of... Devastator !!! " ... In gestalt mode, this Devastator is slightly taller than my KO CW Bruticus which has the KO PE add-on feet and hands. In 1 way it is right, as this combiner is made of 6 robots, while Bruticus is made up of only 5. It is quite interesting to see how some collectors talked about this Devastator is still quite big and will be perfect if shorter a little bit, something like that... For me, even in the real world no man are same in height, so why force our (toy) transformers to be exactly same in height? Anyway, everyone has their own perspective, that I can understand... No matter, this is a very very good TF, but because it is shrunk down, the pegs, pins, etc become very small, hence have to be careful when transforming it. Overall, a very good companion to the Combiner Wars gestalts' display...
