There is also clearly a tab on the chest plate made to go into Long Haul's grill, but due to how far his chest sticks out, it can't reach it at all. The combined form suffers from several issues in the toy's design, mainly down to pegs and holes not made in the correct places leaving some component parts on an almost hair trigger-like connection, the most notable of these being the chest plate which has the friction clip barely reaching it's correct spot on Hook making the chest plate sit twisted towards the right side of the combined form. He is armed with Mixmaster's magna laser, though his own bio identifies his weapon as a solar energy rifle.

These launchers can be equipped with silver-chrome drill attachments instead of his fists, but their spring-loaded firing mechanism was severely weakened by Hasbro for safety reasons. The large pieces of vehicle mode weaponry the Constructicons came with form important connector pieces for the giant robot-in particular, his forearms are the missile launchers that came with Scavenger and Bonecrusher. He is created by assembling all six Constructicons, who, unlike the later Scramble City-style combiners, cannot be rearranged into other configurations. The first combiner toy in the Transformers toyline, Devastator originated in Takara's pre-Transformers Diaclone toyline, where he was the unnamed combined form of the "Construction Vehicle Robo" team. Accessories: Robot head, head laser, 2 forearms/launchers, 2 fists, 2 drills, "super wing" chest plate, "missile mount" hip connector, "wing" pelvis armor, " magna laser"/" solar energy rifle", individual robot guns, Mixmaster's 2 missiles.The gift set first saw release in Thailand without any announcement from Hasbro, with it later being officially revealed on the October 16th Fan First Friday.Devastator was here first, Scramble-boys! This release of Hightower features little to no difference to the release mentioned above. In order to keep Devastator accurate to his on-screen appearance, Skipjack is included in the set, completely omitting Rampage, as he was busy elsewhere.
