Do you guys have problem with NeckBreaker ? His leg are loose compare to Exgraver. Mine's the opposite - Exgraver is getting loose because I couldn't stop playing with him the first few months I had him... But Neckbreaker is super tight for me - especially his feet (but I prefer to use the dozer panels as feet instead of his flip-out feet from the treads). so i got a q i cant seem to find an answer to on any board, i probably missed it tho, but i think it was with the crane there was a little baggie with plugs the size of the smaller holes, what are those for, to cover screw holes or just for fun? The front loader who forms the right leg, "Structor" came with a baggy with 2 little plugs. And yes, they are screw-covers for his chest. I didn't put mine in yet. For some reason it just doesn't bother me that much. That reminds me, I didn't put the screw-covers on the replacement Heavy Labor hip that came with Neckbreaker either.

Thats pretty sick... not a fan of the head but I like how he looks even more G1ish with the added arm pieces. I'll be getting this as long as its not way over priced.

Hope price will cost less than a single TFC Constructicon. I really prefer the head from G.I.EDDIE : It gives more a cartoon feeling (edges are rounded). Opened mouth makes him really mad. TFC try to give an agressive look with tighted teeth... I made a little test toward their direction :

It looks like the add-ons make it look even more like the Maketoy version.

If we're going to complain about the heads, then I'm not happy with any of the heads. The one thing I dislike about the original head is that he has very little sculpt - the mouth is just a set of lines carved into an otherwise flat surface. And I'm not thrilled with either of the other option mouths either... The GIEddie one looks like he's about to bite into an apple or something. And the new TFC "Rage of Hercules" one looks... just weird since his lips are spread out so wide but with his teeth gritted... almost like "The Mouth of Sauron" in the extended edition of Lords of the Rings The Return of the King. It's just unnatural.
I do like that new forehead - it's more G1 than before. People seem to forget that while Devastator was drawn with a variety of faces with or without an eye visor, his forehead was relatively consistent.
Lastly, I seriously wonder how they'll build those optional shoulder-extenders. They'll need to be a strong plastic to match the original connectors build and shape and size or else they might not clip in properly.
Now... if only TFC would do something to cover up Exgraver and Neckbreaker's heads...

I agree I have yet to see a face design that says to me at a glance that this is Devastator. Could it be that the G1 toy and animation design were so generic compared to say Bruticus or Predaking that we relied on other distinguishing factors to tell us that this was Devastator.

I like the gun.I was hoping that TFC will give Devastator a bigger chest plate.

i need add on for the left foot also, its left foot is less stable than its right foot because of its tiny stability thingy behind and of course the front wheel makes it unstable
overall, i dont really have complain about its design, face is ok, could have been better but ok.

Folding them down keeps the front wheels from touching the ground.

I was going to go to AOD over at Japan Town in SF this past week end to see this announcement and as the team some question but things came up and I wasn't able to make it. At first I thought they were making a box set with new parts but this is just a Add on pack. I welcome it as long as it is affordable, hopefully @ or under the 50$ range. In all honesty, I don't care to have this new Devastator to look too much like the old G1 version, but this add on pack allows for other collectors that wants the old G1 look to have that option too. But one thing they could of add to this add on set is that they could of give collectors the purple barrel part, one that doesn't separates and become gun parts. And like what another person said in another forum, new bigger and longer thighs parts would make it look better. The rage face and new head sculpt I don't like that much. I like the new gun.

everyone is complaining about the face. well, i think you guys should be grateful that yours, at least have a face. got no solution from the seller nor TFC so far Directly order a rage face from G.I. Eddie : they are cheap ($7) and good looking. But you can push a little bit to the seller and TFC (make a group mail). If nothing happens... maybe you can ask someone around you know to cast his Herc's face to create yours : it's not hard to do and not expensive. I can propose to cast mine, but shipping cost from France are very expensive and now, my schedule is crazy (you will wait a little bit). It's better ordering to G.I. Eddie : www.tfw2005.com/boards/items-sale-trade/529774-rage-face-tfc-hercules.htmlLast news from him : "Zildjian will get them shipped out once he casts them"... Or wait to buy Dr Wu DW-P04 ROARING...

Ya I ordered Dr. Wu's rage face already. It's just that the moment when all six combined and we turn the head to reveal the face is a precious moment to me; and that's taken from me with this defect. So it really sucks. And then I have to shell out more money, buying a face, for this already expensive stuff...sucks sucks sucks.
