Today is the day that toys from Hasbro’s Transformers 2: Revenge of The Fallen line roll out in a toy aisle near you. (Or at least, this is the day they’re officially scheduled to go on sale. Lots of stores jumped the gun and put them out early.) Hasbro’s website has a large assortment for view or sale, including one item I would love to have had when I was young enough to play with it:
The Bumblebee Voice Mixer. Actually, the item description says “Adjusts to fit head sizes ages 5 through adult”, and while I’m sure there are plenty of older toy enthusiasts who are going to have a ball cosplaying with it, I don’t think somebody my age could wear one without looking like someone from “To Catch a Predator”. More’s the pity.
However, there is one Transformers 2 toy that just might be too cool to pass up:

Aww yeah, it’s Devastator! Seeing the Constructicon combiner kick some Autobot ass is going to be the best thing about this movie not named Megan Fox. The toy looks pretty sweet as well, even though I haven’t been a big fan of most of the movie designs so far. (I’m not a grumpy purist, I just think some of the characters look too generic. Especially Starscream and Megatron.)

I have a blog and i am making a Lego Sized version of Transformers Revenge of the fallen Devastator be sure to check it out at http://scorpio-thefuture.blogspot.com/ for Transformers News and Updates. Personally i believe the supreme toy to be a bit lame. Also i am annoyed at Hasbro as this £99 toy doesnt even have individual Constructicon robot modes only the vehicle forms.
Also what is worse is that they are selling this and saying that making a transforming set of combining constructicons was impossible when they have a set of Legends toys that can transform and combine to form Devastator.

I agree with you Devastator will be the best thing about this upcoming installment; besides Megan ofcourse. I wasn’t all that please with the portrayal of Megatron either, but as long as the holds true to its’ base I’ll have no choice but to continue to be a fan for life.
