BotCon Reveals the Third 2014 Exclusive – Cybertronian Knight Devcon!

So, although I haven’t talked about the previous two exclusives (but I will soon), I figure that should change with the third reveal for BotCon 2014 – Devcon, the Cybertronian Knight!

Some fans have been waiting for a Devcon toy for almost 30 years.  We almost had him twice — he was a potential toy for BotCon 2002 (a race car)and if 3H had kept the BotCon license, we might have had him for BotCon 2005 or later (a remold of Energon Slugslinger).

They say anticipation makes the heart grow fonder.  I don’t know about that, but at least in this case, anticipation allows us to get a mold that seems better suited for old Devvy, namely that of Generations Scourge.  I mean, look at that body — it’s a great updated robot mode for Devcon.  And the alt mode is no sloucher either:

Scourge himself was a pretty good update to the 1986 mold, and while the jet/space cruiser/flying thingy here doesn’t quite match up with Devcon’s alt mode as seen in “The Gambler”, it’s a pretty good substitution.

Going back to the robot mode – love the head gun, love the arm gun, love the paint masks.  Yeah.  Devcon’s a keeper.  Not sure I’d call Devcon a Knight, but hey, stranger things have happened.

Thumbs up, Fun Pub.  Gimme.
