There are combiners, and then there is Devastator. Since his 1984 debut in the original animated series, Devastator has stood for one idea — six machines combine to form something greater than any one alone. A full character background is at the Devastator character overview on Wikipedia.
The Blokees Transformers Devastator Combiner Set delivers that concept in pocket-sized form. Start from the Transformers Toys collection to see where it sits in the lineup.
This is the full unboxing. Every box opened, every piece laid out, and every step of the combination walked through.

Unboxing — Defender Version 01: Shattered Alliance

Price: $35.88. Ages 8+. Full product details at the Shattered Alliance set page.
What you get on box-open
- Content volume: 8 robots and 4 vehicles — the most diverse format in the Defender Version line.
- Scale: 12 individual pocket-sized kits at 5.5cm each.
- Articulation: 14-point on every kit.
- Character roster: Bumblebee, Megatron, and Optimus Prime — the three most iconic Transformers characters.

What makes Shattered Alliance unique
|
Feature |
Why it matters |
|
Hidden model kit guarantee |
Every Shattered Alliance set includes a hidden model kit — the clearest chase promise in the Blokees catalog. |
|
Commemorative coins |
Each coin is a substantial, well-finished piece — not a throwaway accessory. |
|
Collector cards |
Cleanly printed cards add context to the characters and the Shattered Alliance narrative. |
|
Special Galaxy + Armor variants |
Distinct visual finish that sets these kits apart from the standard lineup when displayed together. |
Unboxing — Defender Version 02: The Overthrow
Price: $35.88. Ages 8+.
The Overthrow carries one of the most compelling narrative themes in the Defender Version series — the confrontation between DW-Ultra Magnus’s leadership and Coronation Starscream’s bid for power.
What you get on box-open
- Scale and articulation: 12 pocket-sized 5.5cm kits with 14-point articulation per kit.
- Headline characters: DW-Ultra Magnus and Coronation Starscream.
- Coronation Starscream reference: the iconic moment from Transformers: The Movie (1986) where Starscream crowns himself Decepticon leader.
- Special editions: Special Armor and Galaxy Type kits included.
- Wave-specific coins: commemorative coins carry designs tied to the Overthrow narrative.
How it differs from Shattered Alliance
- Completely different character roster — no repeats between the two waves.
- Different special edition finish makes the waves visually distinct when displayed side by side.
- Narrative theme tied to the 1986 film era.
- Unboxing — Defender Version 03: Heavy Metal War
Price: $35.88. Ages 8+.
Heavy Metal War is the most visually distinct of the three Defender Version sets. Every kit in the run carries a premium coated finish that catches light differently from the standard and special edition kits in the first two waves.
What you get on box-open
- 12 unique kits — no duplicates: every kit in the set is distinct. No risk of pulling the same kit twice within one whole set purchase.
- Premium coated finish: applied consistently across all 12 kits in the run.
- Character roster: Bumblebee, Soundwave, and Shockwave — fan favorites across both factions.
- Armor + Galaxy Types: carry the premium coat alongside their special edition status — the most visually impressive tier in the full Defender Version lineup.
- Scale and articulation: 5.5cm, 14-point articulation per kit — matches the standard set by DV01 and DV02.
- Why the finish matters
|
Character |
How the premium coat changes the kit |
|
Soundwave |
The blue and silver color scheme becomes genuinely striking under the premium coat. |
|
Shockwave |
The purple and grey design takes on a depth that the standard finish does not deliver. |
|
Bumblebee |
Yellow reads more vivid under the coated finish — a meaningful upgrade over the standard variant. |

Side-by-Side — All Three Sets Laid Out Together
Before starting the combination, lay everything out. The scale of the system becomes immediately apparent.
- 36 pocket-sized kits total: 12 from each Defender Version set, laid in three rows.
- Three distinct finishes: standard + Galaxy + Armor from DV01 and DV02, plus the premium coat from Heavy Metal War.
- 28 combining pieces: laid out separately — each piece has a clear purpose mapped in the instruction manual.
- Visual contrast: the DV03 premium coat reads differently from DV01 and DV02 under the same lighting.
Step-by-Step: Combining Into Devastator
With all three Defender Version sets open and the 28 combining pieces laid out, the combination begins. Follow the steps in order.
Step 1 — Confirm the sets are complete
Verify all 12 kits from each Defender Version set are present. Identify and separate the vehicle kits from the robot kits — the combination uses the vehicles as the structural components of Devastator.
Step 2 — Lay out all 28 combining pieces
Open the instruction manual to the first page. Orient yourself with the full structure of the Devastator combination before starting. Understanding the finished form makes each step easier.
Step 3 — Assemble the lower body (leg vehicles)
Begin with the lower body. Identify the leg vehicle kits per the manual. Attach combiner joint pieces to the designated connection points on each leg vehicle. Press until you feel a firm click.
Attach the left and right leg vehicles to the lower body frame. Confirm each connection is secure before adding upper body weight.
Step 4 — Assemble the torso (central vehicle)
The torso is the structural core. Identify the central vehicle designated for the torso position.
- Attach the torso armor panels using the connector pieces.
- Lock the armor panels into place — they define the chest and abdominal silhouette.
- Connect the completed torso to the lower body frame. Confirm the connection before moving on.
Step 5 — Attach the arm vehicles
Identify the left and right arm vehicle kits per the manual. Use the arm connector pieces to attach each arm vehicle to the shoulder ports on the torso. Arms should click firmly — if one feels loose, check the connector orientation before forcing.
Step 6 — Assemble the head and helmet
The head assembly is the final structural step before finishing pieces. Assemble the inner head frame first, then attach the face plate and helmet armor around it. Connect the completed head to the neck port on the torso.
Take care with this step — Devastator’s head silhouette is one of the most recognizable in the Transformers franchise.
Step 7 — Apply remaining armor and finishing pieces
Primary structure is now complete. Apply remaining armor panels and finishing pieces from the 28-piece accessory. These cover the connection points between vehicles and the combiner frame, giving Devastator a clean unified silhouette.
Work systematically through the manual until all 28 pieces are used.
Step 8 — Final check
Before posing, run a full connection check. Press each joint and connection point firmly to confirm full engagement.
- Arm connections — check both sides.
- Leg connections — check both sides.
- Torso-to-lower-body connection — check it is fully locked.
- Head connection — check the neck port is engaged.
Step 9 — Pose and display
Devastator is complete. The combined kit stands significantly taller and wider than any individual Defender Version kit. The three sets are now unified into a single imposing form — one of the most iconic combiners in Transformers history.
Completed Devastator — First Impressions
Standing back and looking at the finished Devastator, the scale of what the Blokees system achieves becomes clear. The 5.5cm pocket-sized kits that looked impressive as individuals combine into something that commands genuine shelf presence.
What stands out
- Premium coat placement: the Heavy Metal War kits contribute visibly to the overall color scheme of the completed Devastator — the premium coat elevates the finished form above a single-finish combination.
- Special edition visibility: the Special Galaxy and Armor variants from DV01 and DV02 remain visible within the combined silhouette, adding variety.
- Configuration variation: no two Devastator combinations look exactly the same — special edition placement varies across combinations, adding replay value.
- Stability: stands upright on any flat surface without a stand. A slight forward battle lean is achievable with careful weight distribution.
- Display tip
Display at eye level or slightly above. The scale and presence of the combined form reads best when it is not looking down at the viewer from a high shelf.

FAQs
Is Devastator a Decepticon or an Autobot?
Devastator is a Decepticon. Specifically, he is the combined form of the Constructicons — a Decepticon sub-group. Full character background is on TFWiki.
You need all three Defender Version sets (01 Shattered Alliance, 02 The Overthrow, 03 Heavy Metal War) plus the 28-piece Devastator Combining Accessory. The Whole Set bundle at $112.63 includes everything.
What age is the Blokees Devastator Combiner Set recommended for?
Ages 8 and up across every component in the system. This is the most accessible age rating in the Blokees surprise box lineup.
Can I assemble Devastator with only one or two Defender Version sets?
No. The full Devastator combination requires vehicle kits from all three Defender Version sets. Each set contributes specific vehicles used as structural components.
How tall is the completed Blokees Devastator?
Significantly taller and wider than any individual Defender Version kit. For exact dimensions, check the product page.
Is there a hidden model kit in every Defender Version set?
The hidden model kit guarantee applies specifically to Defender Version 01 Shattered Alliance. It is the only Blokees release that explicitly guarantees a hidden model kit in every set.
Who wins, Devastator or Bruticus?
In Transformers lore, both are combiner-class Decepticons and outcomes vary by continuity. In collector terms, the Blokees lineup currently offers the Devastator Combining Accessory. A Bruticus accessory is listed under a separate Defender Version product.
Why is Devastator so iconic in Transformers history?
Devastator was the first combiner introduced in the original 1984 animated series. He represents the defining combiner concept — six individual machines combine to form one larger figure. Background is at TFWiki’s Devastator (G1) reference.
