Transformers G1 Devastator By KingBotz

This week's TNI Cool Custom is of a Transformers G1 Devastator byKingBotz.

Here is how KingBotz describes the making of this figure:

"Like many other Transformers fans out there, since childhood I was always fascinated by the harmony and power of a well-proportioned giant that a team of robots could exhibit in combined form...it seemed so natural. I am the original creator of the Tonka-based Devastator, and I began this challenging journey 3 years ago with my first version of G-1 Devastator featured at Botcon 2006. I have since evolved my depiction of this character with a new one, telling a totally different story with a revised face, colors and articulation at over 5' tall. I'm compelled once again to pay tribute to the classic, impending, destructive character everyone knows as G-1 Devastator. Everything but the Tonka trucks themselves is scratch-built. "

Well... I went to www.kingbotz.com and found nothing fishy. I DID find the photo that I was looking for of the original head. There are things that I like from both bots, but ultimately I like the new one better.

It would be sweet to see Hasbro make a new combiner along the lines of this big guy. Great work!

cleaned up the thread, keep it civil
Something happen after I left?
I wish they'd remake G1 Devastator now since they are using him in the movie.

You didn't miss anything. Some comments made in bad taste.

I am disappointed that there has yet to be a Classics combiner robot that isn't just a repaint of an Energon or RID mold. I've been digging the customs on tformers.com!

That's just incredible. Breathtaking!

I'm trying to remember the pictures from a couple years ago. Didn't it have a different head?

I managed to keep my Devastator in the dining room for two months before she finally made me move him out to the garage.

Man that is awesome! I wish I had that in my basement.
Shoot... If I had the talent to build something like that it be proudly displayed in my living room...

I would, but I think that is where my wife would draw the line. LOL!
