I am not sure what happened to Wheeljack but I was not really impressed and he's my favorite Autobot.Having said that I am hopeful that Devastator will look good. I think the run may have been better if they continued with the full size sculpts they did of Megs and Prime. Then Devastator could have been 40" tall!

I almost completely agree with you, but I never bought either big Megs or Prime so I don't know if those are cooler or not. I'm a huge TFan also, and I can't help but feel disappointed too. They were definitely overpriced for their size, except that being relatively small you can display them very easily.
I will say this: they make an awesome TF display (as long as you don't spend too much time scrutinizing them). The G1 toys will always rock, those Japanese PVCs are great for cartoon accuracy, but these were kind of a cool middle ground. But it's kind of too bad. With a little more effort or luck (much improved face sculpts, not having to rely on Dreamwave, etc.) these would have been even better. Devastator does look sweet, so I hope I can find some extra quarters under the couch for that dude.
) feel sorry for the seller. I got the statue for only $20.51 and paid $8.70 for shipping & insurance. The box says he paid $9.70 to send it to me. He really should have included AP in the title.
