    I used to love bootleg transformers from my local dollar stores and value outlets. We were broke so they were easier to afford, but another bonus was that since they usually had no names or any lore you could just name them yourself and make up your own stories about them. It was why as a kid I'd go out of my way to get these kinds of toys sometimes.

      As someone who loved Weijiang once said, if Hasbro and Takara made good toys, we would not need 3rd party companies. They were here to improve and give us what Hasbro did not have the effort or budget to do.
      Too bad most are illegal, and even oversized upscales KOs that can be considered original molds (like Weijiang's MPM scales) or 100% originals from ones like UT, AAT, DX9, and more can get designers in legal trouble (I think Toyworld faced a similar fate as Weijiang, or they shut themselves down to avoid similar fates) just for exercising the right to creativity.

    I know this comment is a year late, but I just remembered that I own the purple one of these.
    It doesn’t pose great, but the transformation is really fun and clever. The only major problem is that the shoulder ball joints are incredibly loose. The gun works pretty well, the instructions are alright, and for $4 CAD it’s not the worst thing.
    Basically if it just was made of slightly better material, it could be an unironically fantastic toy.

    I've got the purple one of these. Yeah, it feels cheap, but that's kind of appropriate considering that it *is* cheap. It's $4 for a large transforming toy that's also a foam dart launcher. I've bought an actual Nerf launcher at Dollarama for the same price and there isn't much of a difference in quality between the two. As a transforming figure it's clearly not on the level of a Generations or Studio Series, but considering that it's less than a tenth of the price one of those of a similar size would have cost that's not a big deal. It does have a pretty good transformation, though, and the robot mode has nearly all the most important points of articulation (shoulders, elbows, hips, knees; all that it's missing is a turning head.)

    Hey bro, idk if you’re interested in getting another movie Devastator but Black Mamba made an Oversized version of the Studio Series named “Mechanical Alliance” and I got all 8 for Christmas and they’re absolutely amazing! The die cast, more accurate paint apps (especially on Scavenger and Overload) and Hightower got major improvements along with Rampage and Scrapmetal. Mixmaster looks practically like a Masterpiece, the paint job is like grade 5, you’r Miss take him for a die cast of the cement mixer. Long Haul and Scavenger scale more accurately with the studio series line (you can recreate the Shanghai scene with Demolsihor) and Scrapper has a mace for a hand with chain and feels better quality. I think you should get them! Plus there’s word that an upgrade kit is under way so this is potentially the biggest and best Devastator for the price and quality. I highly recommend you check out ShowZStore or other websites for the first four wave since those were released back in 2020-2021. The second wave of course were released all last year.
