MakeToys are a Japanese outfit that makes, well, I don’t want to say bootleg Transformers, so I’ll just say custom Transformers. I introduce them because their new Devastator is incredible.
It ignores the recent film interpretation of the character, as one should and instead looks to recreate the original animated version, only with the level of detail a guy who loved the cartoon in the 80s would expect in the 2000s.
You get all six individual figures, each impressive enough on their own, but combine them and you get a Devastator that unlike the original loses none of its aesthetic or articulation.
No word on pricing yet, but it won’t be cheap.

Derp. Luke Plunkett. There WAS a movie called… well, Transformers: The Movie which had this exact original Devastator.

Actually, some of these have already been available to buy/preorder for a little while now (They’re $100 USD each, so $600 for the full ‘Devastator’):
