And the fandom rejoiced.My, how the tables have turned.
When CW Devastator came out, people complained that he was too big and out of scale with all of the other Combiners.
Now that we get word of this SS86 Devastator being in scale with his fellow Combiners, people are whining that he should be much bigger than them.
I'm more sympathetic to Hasbro because of the choices."YAY! We get more content... Oh. It kinda sucks..."
Though, it was reissued just 3 years ago.Combiner Wars Devastator WAS released almost 9 years ago now.
Yet, Legacy Galvatron is still readily available en masse at several Walmarts right now.Even when it comes to "cleaned up" remolds, Kingdom Galvatron would be 5 years old by its rumored release,
In my own defense, I was only ever talking about in relation to other SS86 figures.My, how the tables have turned.

I'm not counting back between MP Magnus and SS 86 Magnus, I'm counting between Kingdom Magnus and SS 86 Magnus. KI Magnus was a 2021 release. SS 86 Magnus was a 2023 release. That we got two entirely different Earth mode G1 Magnuses (Magni?) not even three years apart is wild to me, someone old enough to remember Classics and Universe 2.0 where it felt like once they did an update of that character that was it for a long while.Combiner Wars Devastator WAS released almost 9 years ago now. MP Magnus was released 7 years ago.

Meanwhile,Thrilling 30Combiner Wars Ultra Magnus is crying in the corner over how no one remembers him.
Same! He is my mini-masterpiece version of Ultra Magnus but that is primarily because I care more about the bot mode than the alt mode for him.I have always been happy with my Siege Ultra Magnus in robot mode, but I admit his alt mode is not the best homage to G1.
I feel like I need to go hug mine, now.Meanwhile,Thrilling 30Combiner Wars Ultra Magnus is crying in the corner over how no one remembers him.
