Review of X-transbots Destroyer upgrade kit for G1 Devastator

[Transformermegazord]

Hey buddy did u check out the review I did on the jb07 kit? It's a good kit but I just love the sculpt on this one more and my junkion kit doesn't have that waist swivel

[Faraz8301]

Good review, something motivational about this set. I have a G2 devastator and I want to know if the elbow and forearms of X-transbots are compatible with my set? Also, will a combination of X-transbots elbows and forearms together with Crazydevy fingers work either for G1 or G2 devastator? Thanks!

It's not chinese! It's jap.

Want it so hard, my g1 encore 20 devastator just came in today, love it!, now these parts and kapow, to bad kapow toys doesnt sell this upgrade for the moment.

[RodimusMinor1987]

Not bad but I leave my G1 as they are

[mantis999999999]

Thanks for the look, it does make the g1 look lovely!

[predaking79]

@mantis999999999 No worries cheers for checking it out dude :)

[BigGigantos]

Wow, that's bloody awesome. Are these for sale on eBay do you reckon? Definitely going to pick me up this set. Great review mate!

[predaking79]

@BigGigantos Cheers mate glad you enjoyed the review :) I got this set off ebay from a seller named trainee007, he still appears to have some left :)

[ButtZilla1031]

Looks pretty awesome! Can the legs stand straight up rather than in a split form? thanks!

[predaking79]

@ButtZilla1031 Yeah he stands fine with his legs straight, hope that helps :)

[ButtZilla1031]

@predaking79 Great, thanks! :)

300 + views, well done, hopefully you get a few new viewers from the exposure? I assume it means someone linked this somewhere.

he does look really good, I never really know how I feel about add on kits for g1 figures, their lack of possibility is always somewhat part of the charm for me, its odd just changing a few things. It's like putting electric windows on an old car from the 20's, it feels out of place.

that said, I like how it makes devvy look, If I had the spare cash I would consider it

[predaking79]

@damnyouhussies Thanks mate, seibertron and fullmetalhero have it on their new homepages which explains the itnerest! :) Yeah I'm not normally one to update G1 toys but this set looked good value for the price and Devstator was one figure who was in need of a face lift! :)

[IoriYagami288]

Couldn't see it clearly, but the 'Chinese' on the box is actually Japanese.

[predaking79]

@IoriYagami288 Oops, my apologies! :)

[BruceyGoodness]

Great Review! Was considering this one or the Junkion Blacksmith version. Considering the problems you had with this one, I'm going with the Junkion Blacksmith one.

[predaking79]

@BruceyGoodness Cheers man, yeah this set has its problems but it's not bad value for the price IMHO.

[Transformermegazord]

Just wish they would do something for predaking. Only just got the Japan reissue and can't afford all the crazy devy goodness for him. :(

[Transformermegazord]

Another great review buddy... think ill get the jb kit though. Well still need a devy aswell lol hint hint if anyone ha an encore for sale or trade lol. Keep up the good wrk

[predaking79]

@Transformermegazord Cheers dude! :-)

[islipcocoliso]

I noticed you seemed a little reluctant to move the arms and legs around much when showing the articulation....how are the parts there ( I know the fingers like to pop off, but was there anything else wrong that you didnt move the arms and legs much? just wanna know before I get an encore dev and this kit)...otherwise, great review :) you make me very happy that I sued to you

[predaking79]

@islipcocoliso The articulation on the parts in fine, they attach firmly to the original G1 toys, the reason for my slight reluctance to move them a great deal is that my original toys don't hold together too firmly (especially the connection with Bonecrusher to Hook) and it didn't want the arm falling off on camera! Thanks for checking out the video and subbing :)

[islipcocoliso]

@predaking79 perfect, that is exactly what I was hoping you'd say...cant wait to get it :) and you are welcome

[ultramaximus]

I just ordered an Encore Devastator set and this upgrade kit. I'll be doing a review as well. I'm disappointed in the fingers and lack of stability. I was hoping it'd make the old toy a bit more stable of a figure. But for the price, it still looks very cool.

[predaking79]

@ultramaximus Yeah the kit is worth it for the price, even with the faults it has :)

[ultramaximus]

@predaking79 Nice - well it should arrive within a day or so. Expect a review some time next week. I'll post a link here for you!

[predaking79]

@ultramaximus Cool, look forward to seeing what you thoughts on it are - never know your's might have fully functioning fingers XD

[ultramaximus]

@predaking79 I got mine in this week. Will be doing a review hopefully next week. And yes the fingers are exactly like yours! LOL
