Mine is still on the way and now I'm even more excited to get it. It might be even better than the TW Devy now. Just gorgeous.

[@geraldbouvy1222]

That is exactly what I thought. A 1000 dollars is a little steep to throw down on toyworlds, but 200 for the JB with the upgrade kit? He'll yeah!😊

[@Forward.the.blue.brigade]

Its pretty stunning and you can NOT beat it for the price.

[@MosheMaserati]

Thanks so much dude. I picked the green set up a week ago while browsing their site. Couldn't believe my eyes when I saw it, they clicked buy now IMMEDIATELY when I saw the price. Can't wait to get mine and set up my Devy. Definitely going to remove the legs from Longhaul

[@Benscollectables]

Glad I could help!

[@donaldjackson4456]

I took the bottom half of long haul off. No backpack and looks cleaner

[@grahamandlukecollectables8538]

Got this for my son. Looks stunning! Real solid kit.

[@Scruffdogg1973]

I got the LIKE Toys kit last year... took me literally HALF A DAY to figure it out (starting around the 9:00 mark) Ben, EVERYBODY is gonna find this vid, useful. Thanks alot!!!

[@Benscollectables]

You are very welcome , thank you for taking the time to watch and comment

[@edbraun383]

@@Benscollectables I agree with the first commenter here. I'd almost say you were brave for taking this on, between the poor instructions and this bulky ass figure.

[@gjesse908]

If u think about, the backpack on the back is actually kinda accurate because long hauls leg turns into a back of the tractor and in g1 cartoon, devastator has a backpack of long hauls tractor back

[@MANU-dw9dh]

I have had that Jinbao in green for a few years, I always criticized the stability even with the first improvement kit that came out but now it gains new value for that figure it will be spectacular

[@SovereignKnight74]

I have the green variant and V1 upgrade kit with the drills. After I saw this kit, I was like... Awe hell yeah! *Click* bought it off Aliexpress and patiently waiting! This kit makes Jinbao Devvy so much better to the G1 look.

[@CraigMullanoc2000]

Thank you for this....I got the 2.0 a bit ago, but to my dismay, didn't find a thing about it on KZbin at the time. Those instructions included were rubbish. Your video was very easy to follow. Again, props for getting an instruction video on this upgrade so quickly.

[@WaveSineReverse]

Nice to see LikeToys having come this far from selling made-to-order 3D printed versions of this and other kits; hopefully this partnership with Jinbao can get some of the other kits made in injection molded plastic. Kind of wish that just a set with just the parts that make the feet more stable was available since I prefer the original aesthetics of Generation Toy Gravity Builder.

[@YakBat]

Since I wanted JinBao to do the same for their OSKO Warbotron, I got 3 sets of this kit for the time being. May even use it on the TFM Mensor as all three look stylistically uniform.

[@kevinmcbride7015]

I bought a second set of the fugures for bot mode and canabalized one of the Long Haul's....removed the legs and forearms. and glued the lower torso and the pants together to make them one piece.

[@gradedcaboose]

wow this is amazing! i have the green devy and honestly hated the thing because of how unstable it is. Now knowing this kit exists and how much it changes the combiner, im definitely very interested in picking this up

[@pmadi323]

Perfect timing. Mine just arrived in the post.

[@audavi981]

Our! Excellent update. It's getting better and better. I even wanted to buy a TW but I don't need it anymore. Jinbao was magnificent. Congratulations on the excellent video.

[@BigClownLuv]

Thanks for making this video I got my kit yesterday and my devy comes today will be using this video to help install it 😊

[@seangonzalez9025]

Thank you!… The instructions only give so much information being that it’s in Japanese language. I have both upgrade kits but waiting for the the company to make kits for the damaged and Black knight version Devestator’s. He’s my all time favorite since i was a kid

[@crumplezone4286]

Finally some one made a video on this I’ve been trying to decide wether or not to get it this video will be a huge help in deciding

[@sidearmsalpha]

Didn't know this set was at ShowZ til now so I got the green one. The yellow one sold out but I was able to find it on eBay for a little more.

[@seangonzalez9025]

I have all colors with upgrades except the transparent Devestator. Green, Yellow, Damaged version and Black knight. He’s always been my favorite as a kid. Lol

[@edwinzamora183]

Nice video, mine is green and just installed the upgrade kit v2, and it looks really really great, i would like to share to you , the action stand i made for jinbao devi, its a universal adjustable phone holder with metal base, just cut out the ball joint cap, and attach ( glue and screw) it to the butt of the kit, and then connect the ball to the cap, now the devi is now much stable even by posing it, the stand looks clean and neat. Wish I could send you some photos.

[@aragaorj]

Meu caro. Muito grato por sua contribuição. Vi seu vídeo até o final e também do outro amigo seu indicando remover aquela parte de trás. Eu havia montado o meu upgrade kit 2.0 e penmsara que estava fazendo algo de errado com as costas, uma vez que o manual não exemplifica bem, de fato, como fazê-lo. Segui pela lógica e no que via nas imagens, chegando no mesmo resultado da posição que você colocou. Não estava errado. Realmente a parte de trás é meio desajeitada, mas ainda prefiro assim. Não tenho coragem de remover a parte de baixo do robô que compõe o dorso, apesar de que pelas sua apresentação, fica mais limpo. Quem sabe eu não o faça no próximo final de semana. Muito obrigado mesmo pela sua contruibuição. Eu também considero o Menasor da DX9 melhor dentre os feitos. Mais pelo conjunto, pois considero que os Stunticons da DX9 são mais semelhantes ao do G1 e funcionam bem na questão custo/benefício/similaridade com o G1.

[@bobdobalina8910]

WoW! Thanks for the great informational video. I have been sitting on the fence with him, just was too small, price was right though, and now with that UPGRADE set, I think I might just go ahead and make that Executive Decision, Pull the Trigger and get him along with the upgrade set

[@TomMSTie1138]

This upgrade kit arrived this morning and I just finished installing it, and I'm a bit disappointed that it didn't make him any more sturdy. Taller? Heck yeah! Screen accurate? Yeah. But he still tips over if not positioned just right.

[@rcarlom9882]

Got the set just for the bottom feet filler. Definitely fixed his gravity by falling in too easily. Now he can hold an A pose and not just a standing pose. Just installed the foot filler, head, the parts on the sides that make the torso into a more V shape and arm extensions. I don't necessarily feel the waist/thighs section. Seems too cartoony for me. Still debating on putting the extra parts that support the shoulders.

[@IndyCrewInNYC]

Got mine from Showz today. Package arrived very well-protected and undamaged. I'm gonna set aside a few hours or so to do this nice and slow since I'm no expert at this sort of thing but it looks well worth it. Love the new head but I'll stick to the original chest piece if possible. I had even bought a large hard purple plastic Decepticon insignia mold I had glued to it.

[@Benscollectables]

Congrats on the new kit bud

[@IndyCrewInNYC]

@@Benscollectables Thanks, bruh! Hope to have a collection half as impressive as yours someday!

[@davidez4640]

Toyworld is still a little better overall, but as a cheaper alternative for a masterpiece Devastator, it's amazing

[@BlackCanvasAudio]

Looks like I'm buying this too! Great video Ben!

[@stephenmoss8428]

Excellent video. I've got the upgrade kit and am just waiting on Devastator. This video will make life a lot more easy. Thank you! (+supported on Show-Z)

[@Benscollectables]

Thanks man

[@audavi981]

How are you my friend? Look, I watched your video and other videos regarding this new update of the Jinbao Devastator. Well, there is the possibility of removing the legs of the Long Haul as shown in your video and it is expensive to fold the legs back. However, I found a solution to keep the legs more compact and close to the Ravager's body. When you've removed the three screws, take the cover off but keep the legs with that three-screw cover removed and bend as much as possible to rest the legs against the Ravager's back. The wheels will go up a little more and lock the legs much better. I would like to show how it turned out on mine but I don't know how to do it to show you. Also remove the two green parts of the swimming trunks to make it look better. I don't know if I managed to make him understand. Thank you very much in advance and I hope I helped.

[@javilopez2515]

The kit is an improvement but the back pack gaves him more weight. Thanks for the video :)

[@LucaGiaroli]

Istruction 10, long houl, if you want the Angle of 90, the hand, the hand (damn photo that blind that), the hand must be turned with thumb upward then you must open the other fingers to its limits. You'll see that thumb softly touch the piece of long houl and the other fingers aren't no longer in the way. Ciao from Italy!!!

[@theautisticcreative2619]

All those nice pieces and nothing to help with the backpack? They could of added a rifle storage area and some extra on board weapons (like a missile launcher pod) or another weapon storage area, like a large demolition explosive (that's magnetic with a blinking light and remote) great kit though, glad I picked it up. Now Jinbao Predaking needs the same attention, help it be more stable when free standing and help the mounted gun stay connected. Also Iron Factory Bruticus needs an upgrade kit, replace the rotor blades of Vortex making them swords, as well, like the Jinbao ones, light up cannons, extra weapons, like tank machine gun and a few other useful pieces, though I did give them extra weapons myself, like missile pods from a live action transformer figure, a sniper rifle from the Siege Ironhide upgrade kit, along with a shotgun and knife (from an action man/GI Joe set)

[@amusedjester]

Thank you so much for a really good installation video. Exactly what I needed to see. I hope you review the Demon knight OS defensor soon.

[@AzureInnocence]

i hope they show their jinbao bruticus some love. lord knows that mold needs it

[@gensondw1]

I like the upgrade kit except for the Long Haul Transformation, and I don't like the idea of having to disassemble a figure to make an upgrade kit work. If I do get this I will probably try to find an extra Long Haul somewhere and remove His Legs so I could have a Complete Figure for Display and another for the Combined Mode.

[@LouisRich318504]

Great video!! A lot of questions answered 👏🏽👏🏽

[@Pliskins024]

Wow..after that upgrade this has to be the best version of MP devastator to date.. Individual bots itself is really gd. And price is reasonable.

[@miles501st]

Van you unscrew the new legs and remove the purple knee joints? I've swapped the purple parts from the g2 to the g1 on my two

[@dbangs7592]

Thanks for the video. Best video out there for this upgrade kit install. Extra thanks for detailing how to remove the backpack. I’m not flipping back and forth, combined mode for me so removing the back pack was an easy decision. Three screws on a cover plate makes reinstalling easy should I ever sell it. Thanks again!

[@thealienfrog]

Outro sounds amazing lol

[@keu20]

Just nitpicking: I would have prefered the feet supports to be clear plastic (at least scrapper's). But that's okay enough, I guess. Thanks for the review, Ben ! :3

[@commanderwolf_gaming5191]

I'm really interested in getting one of these. I kinda want the dirty battle damaged one. Not sure if there is an upgrade for it or not, if not I could just paint it which I was planning on adding more detail anyway. I was thinking about a backpack cap to hide all that, and adding some micro motor to drill arms instead of that pull string lol, maybe that would give extra weight to it, if not maybe add some of those button weights used in PC mouse's. It would be static posed on the shelf any way so... 🤔

[@brianpavlina8638]

Awesome video Ben. Really neat.

[@shartslaw322]

Damn, that's an awesome set, just for the feet alone as it stabilises him so much better than what he was before. Question, can you place the old chest crest on the new kit? I really liked how the old one looked.

[@rcarlom9882]

I bought the set just now just for the feet alone! Might have to test whether the old upgrade kit can now pose with his legs in an A pose rather than just standing and falling off from his damn weight lol.

[@TaurusOxford]

You can, but the new chest is also pegging into the shoulder extension pieces which is also what helps secure them into place.

[@DeeRellWill]

Just ordered mine!

[@godreigns1753]

Great video Ben but you could have left the Jinbao leg extensions on to give him even more height!

[@Benscollectables]

yeah guess i could have done couldnt i, didn't even think about that

[@aswig9625]

I thought that as well but they dont fit at the same time

[@godreigns1753]

@@aswig9625 You might be right I looked at my Devy with the upgrade kit Jinbao first made and the wheels on the leg extensions might be in the way unless I remove them. Well I ordered the kit anyway and I’ll find out when it arrives

[@ericsinchina]

@@godreigns1753 I have the first kit already too...been wondering if it was worth getting this one.

[@godreigns1753]

Well I can tell you that it’s worth every penny and the knee extensions on the old upgrade kit only fit with the wheels removed and put on backwards which doesn’t work very well at all since you lose knee articulation by having the legs on in reverse. So I only use the drills from the old upgrade kit after all.

[@ydin9]

Thanks, I really like to see reviews of these china versions, they are very tempting but I have trust issues with the quality and scaling

[@leandrotf6819]

This wonderful kit but I think the hands are small.

[@BoozyBeggar]

One of the silver taillights on Hook came off and is stuck to the old purple chest piece. Hope you didn't throw that out without noticing. edit: what type of shelves do you have behind you? I need shelves.

[@MyPastafazoola]

do we still need to keep it on the ver.1 upgrade kit replacement parts for DumpTruck & Scraper?

[@TheNeelonRokk]

Been 3 years since I purchased something TF related... damnit I had to get this. And just this, can't sustain more expensive hobbies.

[@TheNeelonRokk]

Update: I got the kit yesterday and just installed it. The backpack is a crime and a half to try and get right, if it is even right the way I got it. Proportion wise this is THE upgrade to get, bigger head means a lot less dorky looking, and finally the legs look right as well, even the previous upgrade kit didn't solve that completely. Also, his visor tends to pop off if you look at it. Now, stability wise, I don't see a difference, it might even feel a bit more prone to toppling over. I suspect this is because the backpack increased in size, it shifted further up and further back. Might take a screwdriver to him and just remove it. Not like I am doing to display him as anything but Devastator. You also loose the wrist hinge, so posing is more limited. I also might try to put some rubber padding under his feet, so he is less prone to sliding on the smooth surface he is standing on. All in all, I 100% recommend this upgrade if you have this Devastator, it is some fiddling to get it installed, and that is 100% because of the waist section. For the rest, it was a breeze and didn't even need this video for anything but the waist. Edit: to clarify, I have the G1 version (the green one), the yellow might be a bit more stable as it is a slightly later version to have come out.

[@MayinMayo]

Ik this is a kind of old video but please could you please tell me how tall he is? And how tall dx9 menasor is, according to google theyre 15 and 9 inches respectively but from this video it appears untrue
