I agree with Rodolfo. Read his review for the technical flaws. I regret buying this thing and, especially, opening it. I should have compared the scale in the store, but didn't do so until it was too late. I live in coal country and have stood beside a slightly smaller version of this sort of "steamshovel." Were this to scale, any of the deluxe class cars/SUV's should easily fit in the bucket. This is a joke. This should have been made in Ultra class scale or, at minimum, Leader class.
For a real eye-roller, place this version of Demolishor beside the Chromia and Arcee Deluxe models, which I'm definitely not buying b/c the scale is so ludicrous.
Found this guy, Demolisher, on sale on Target. As others have said, he is probably one of the harder ones to transform, which surprised me, as I thought hed be one of the easier ones. the directions were hard to understand.. We've had half and half luck with the voyager class transformers, so I was prepared if it came down to this, he would be designated to shelf life, like my son's Starscream and Ironhide. but, he seems more durable them then and my son loves his design.
Just be prepared for a hard transformation..my son is 8 and had a tough time with it..although normaly he is the whiz at those things.
I went to TOYS R US today and I saw the transformers ROTF display up and I picked up DEMOLISHER. When I got back in the car I transformed him. I thought it was pretty neat. I think he looks cool in vehicle and robot mode. Only one part has fallen off and it was easy to put back on. Its wheel even moves in robot mode. His arms kind of help him stand up. I would really recommend it!
The character's description fits the toy well because this is not a great toy.
The toy is based on a Terex/O&K RH400, "the world's largest hydraulic excavator". It must be huge, but making it part of the Voyager line (the big toys, but not the biggest) means that it's roughly in the same scale as the smallest Optimus Prime in the Legends line.
The red colored deco is more appropriate for a simmilar excavator called Scavenger that also appears in the film and forms the torso of Devastator.
Now on to the toy itself:
ALTERNATE MODE:
Demolishor should be painted WHITE. The toy lacks a lot of detail that can give a sense of scale, especially a lot of pistons and cables on the arm of the real excavator.
The whole "body" is off in shape and proportions, and it can't swivel on top of the tracks, so the arm will always point in the same direction.
The tracks are made of rubber, but they can't roll because they're permanently attached with screws to the two wheels inside each track. They even have a small hole that connects to pegs in the body. The tracks are fake, but there's no little wheels either, so the toy can't roll in any way.
So, this toy doesn't roll, the body doesn't swivel and then the only moving part is the arm, which has 3 points of articulation.
Transformation is a little bit hard, especially because both modes are not familiar and you don't know how it should look in the end. Also, instructions are accurate, but aren't very clear.
ROBOT MODE:
You'd think that the excavator mode was sacrificed in order to have a great robot mode, but you'd be wrong.
The robot design is intended to balance like a Segway on one big wheel alone, as it has no legs. This limits a lot of poseability, because you'll need to use both arms to stand the toy like a tripod.
Because the head is permanently attached to the body and there are no legs, the only articulation is in the arms, but it's useless for posing because they're needed to stand the toy.
The toy in general seems to have few pieces, so durability should be good except for the delicate handrails that follow the contour of the excavator and it's stairs. Mine shows white stress marks where pressure has been applied by the twist ties that hold the toy in place within the package.
Paint application is scarce, resorting more to molded colored plastic.
To sum things up, the toy has very limited poseability and detail for a toy in the Voyager line. There's much more molded detail in the medium-sized Deluxe toys (like Sideswipe, Sideways, Rampage).
This is the "less bang for your buck" toy that I've seen from the ROTF movie. I recommend you to get a couple of Deluxe toys instead of this... or that you save a little and get Optimus Prime in the biggest Leader line, which is the greatest movie toy I've seen.
I was walking through target yesterday and was suprised to see the ROTF display up. I picked him up along with Rampage and Soundwave. I love the way Demolisher looks in vehicle mode but what's the point of having a transformer and not converting it. I must say he was one of the more difficult ones I've transformed, mostly I think because the directions get confusing sometimes. I think it took me 10 minutes to convert him but I wasn't really impressed with the result. On the box I figured his arms would help him stand in robot mode but they only move in a few directions but after playing around with it for awhile I found a decent pose for him. All in all Demolisher was a good buy but I'm really looking foward to the supreme class Devastator.
