This Is A Large Boy - Jinbao Gravity Builder

The text before combine form should say combine form, not Bonecrusher. It was a late night

[@Wallbeige]

is there a version that scales with WFC? this is great just really big for my collection

[@Flickr_Shepherd]

@@Wallbeige The original one was smaller I don't know if it perfectly scales though

[@DahsuMusic]

Please get Mastermind creations optus pexus

[@YakBat]

I recommend checking out Jinbao's Warbotron, same family as Generation Toy. Slightly simplified, about the same price if not cheaper, but scales perfectly with this. The Predacon based on MMC's Feral Rex is hit or miss, can barely stand on it's own and requires an upgrade kit just for hands. Also i get mine from AliExpress, super easy, super safe, about the same shipping time as sir toys. NBK is overly simplified, not worth it, and is a 1:1 of the GT. Jinbao needs to complete the upscaled Generation Toys Combiners and upscale their TFM Havoc. It still kinda works, but it's short at 14" Agree that the Jinbao combiner is too short for MP scale, but bot and alt modes work perfectly. If I was willing to spend the money, I'd take a TW Devy and chop off most of the limbs and slap these guys on instead. GT look, TW height! I've found that mainline or legends figures work best for the combined mode.

[@YakBat]

@@Wallbeige yes, the original Generation Toy version scales pretty good. But it's way more expensive than this at $300. More if you want this color scheme. The NBK would be the way to go if you just want a combiner, as it is simplified.

My CHUG collection mainly goes for vehicle scale. And for this... Yeah this is perfect. People underestimate just how frigging HUGE construction vehicles are. And them all being about leader size in bot mode also makes sense because they're all supposed to be heavy hitters. I'll definitely pick this up when able.

God I love the Constructicons. Such a fine group of lads.

[@j-sant-animations8105]

“You don’t buy it for individual figures…” Me who bought it cuz I’m a fan of construction machines: And as a poor guy, I got the NBK version, also G2. Besides the degrading combiner knees, it is still amazing. My favorite would be Scavenger. I like to have the arm treads folded up top and outward to break down the vehicles more. And this is probably the best Devastator set if you’re looking for an Industrial Feel.

[@j-sant-animations8105]

@@milkyw4ywastaken76 as I said about the joints, They need to be checked on at first unpacking. The plastic is cheap but not brittle. It won’t disintegrate in your hands but it’s easy to bend so careful on that. And of course, being cheap means the combine mode will eventually wake an at the knees, that’s where the weight will be forced on. But surprisingly, scrapper’s bucket toe won’t affect the combiner’s stability. But even if he’s cheap and light, it’s still a heavy mass so you won’t be posing very dramatically below the hips.

[@geo-fry6372]

Long Haul has always been my favorite constructicon, I really like his g1 toy and art. I feel very few, if any, modern Devastator figures get him right. This one misses the mark in my books. The coolest individual figure in this set has got to be Scavenger, he looks freaking sick. The combined mode looks really cool.

[@theautisticcreative2619]

I like this figure, but I'm not a fan of the G2 yellow. I'm planning on getting the G1 green with the upgrade kit.

[@chromedragozoid]

While G2 yellow is technically the right color for construction vehicles, I do prefer the original green and purple.

[@Tyler_the_cremator1]

Ive got a knockoff of long haul with the hinge on the back and its a great improvement

[@ryankronenbitter2013]

Mine finally came in today. I love it. Everything feels well designed and accentuates both the g1 aesthetic and a modern look. My only gripe is that mine struggles to stand and that mixmaster can’t hold his foot form too well.

[@michaelscholes8956]

There are now two upgrade kits available, one of which adds much stability to the combined figure. Mixmaster is a DIY fix.

[@US_Oddity]

I have both this in green and Warbatron upscale. They look impressive together.

[@gregorypotter325]

Glad I watched you lift the cover on the Mixmaster vehicle, I hear a piece of plastic rattling inside where the concrete is mixed . Heck I had no idea how detailed these were and its sitting in a display case in front of me lol

[@jonathantheslow]

Just picked this up on sale and decided to revisit this video so I don’t get too anxious about having made a bad purchase.

[@michaelscholes8956]

A couple tips: You can un-tab the wheels on Scrapper's shoulders and re-tab them in towards the back of his shoulders so they are not so "in your face". You can do the same with Long Haul too, if I remember correctly. You can swivel the base of the crane arm on Hook's back to position it towards the top of his shoulders, so the arm runs downward along his back and the tip touches the ground. This adds stability, like a third leg (unnecessarily IMO since he's already pretty stable) but mainly is a nice way to tuck the arm out of the way. You can also just detach it (if only it could then attach to Mixmaster, as he could definitely use the stability)

[@marcelinenolan6284]

I ended up putting my green version with all my bumblebee and G1 ROTB figures and it fits so damn well. Just had to photograph them all together with how much bigger it is than the bumblebee voyagers

[@0_Knightmare]

"The hands are a pleasure to handle" -._-. I'm not sure if that was intentional or not lmao.

[@Bathykolpian_goddess]

Could you compare it to the size to a small figure like studio series bumblebee, I think it would be cool to see the insane size difference. And keep up the great videos!

[@mrzeromafia]

I do like them being larger than anyone in term of chug scaling.

[@deadbunny2938]

If you angle the hook upwards and over his shoulder, Hook actually won't fall over. It also looks dope af.

[@qxillanote9952]

Bonecrusher is my favorite too!

[@cobaltprime9467]

Hot take, I prefer the yellow for Constructicons. I really liked that look in Animated.

[@michaelpapp5518]

13:22 the masters upgrade kit provides much needed stability to the feet in combined mode. Do you plan on getting and or reviewing that kit?

[@islapmykids7789]

I went to a store in Guam or a mall called Gpo I found some of these and I bought them thinking that they were good, but deformation robot is more of a knockoff of a knockoff and everything un plugged by itself and the knockoff scrapper, scavenger, bonecrusher, and the only one the felt solid and amazing was its version of long haul.

[@denozed6554]

I got the green one from a nice seller locally for 160$ brand new in boxes when it first came out. Figures are amazing Devastator is awesome. Showz had the upgrade hip extenders hand drills and g 1 head for 20$ I HIGHLY recommend you get it. I haven't seen it in g2 colors but the head alone is worth it. Just paint the hip extenders it really evens out this proportions and makes him that much taller. Might just have to get the yellow set if I can make some shelf space.

[@NemesisPrima]

Now that's a BIG boy

[@Rampaging_Rhino_Customs]

I bought something similar, but its like a knock off or a knock off, some of the moldings different like Scavengers’s legs, Mixmaster’s cement barrel and Hook’s cockpit. But I dont display them individually ofc its as Devastator. It didnt have the alt face tho. It still has the lit up eyes however its a switch that you can leave on. I think its the NBK version as u said

You don't have to hold the button down. It's weird but barely untransform his head and push the button and it stays on. Also JinBaos Warbotron ko is great, fixes all the flaws with normal Warbotron and is the same height as this Devy

[@alfeaffable9254]

solid question, how do the individual constructicons scale with the jinbao optimus?

[@DragoonMS]

The design of Generation Toy's Long Haul in vehicle mode looks like they drew inspiration from Gogo Dump of Gogo Sentai Boukenger/Dump Driverzord of Power Rangers Operation Overdrive. I don't mind that, Gogo Dump was my favorite of the first five Boukenger Mecha. NBK's "TF-Ingineering"...ugh. That thing is apparently so simplified down that it makes Jinbao's oversized Feral Rex (Predaking) KO look perfect (and apparently, Predaking was Jinbao's first effort, so it's been somewhat simplified). UPDATE 2022Mar28: Finally got the big beefy bois. So let's see. Scrapper's my favorite just because it's Scrapper. But, one thing that you missed is that those front skirt parts LOVE to pop off if you look at'em funny; this was a problem with the Generation Toy original, too. The individual Constructicons ALL suck at holding their guns, this is because of how their forearms basically prevent you from inserting them properly. Scavenger is my second favorite, his design is just badass here. As for scale, I think the individual robot modes work quite well with larger MPs & ol' skool Leader class (Ditto for Jinbao's Feral Rex KO)...of course that makes the combined mode entirely too small to work correctly. But all in all, definitely worth the money.
