Devcon is definitely a cool character with a purpose. I wish they expanded on his backstory in more episodes. I dig that voice of Mr. Slate was very involved in Transformers with many other characters.
I’m sure that collectors like me want an original mold of Devcon exactly as he appeared in “The Gambler”. He deserves it, but most importantly, we deserve it! I’m so glad you made this retrospective Michael! It was awesome like you!
It's crazy, I never thought about this guy outside of the G1 episode he appeared in. Didn't realise that there was so much expanded universe lore associated with him. Great stuff, Michael 👍
Thanks so much for making this! Defcon was my favorite Transformer before The Movie, and The Gambler is 1 of my favorite episodes. The reason he's running at 6:34 instead of Transforming, is because they wanted to save his Transform as a surprise for the end. I don't give much thought to the Botcon stories. I like to think Defcon & Slizardo are still a team. They can retool Titans Returns Blurr into Defcon with headmaster Slizardo.
Hi Micheal,Devcon is very obscure but also he is very cool also I always enjoy your hard work and videos Micheal thank you for the Retrospective video about Devcon keep them coming,also Devcon is a self proclaimed Bounty Hunter and Autobot one of the few successful few during the years of the great war and has an intense hatred of all Decepticons,he spent his time hunting those who were too dangerous for the other Autobots to consider.also he has an arm mounted Plasma blaster and a head mounted laser cannon his alternate mode is his Space cruiser capable of long range interstellar flight, he's friendly,courteous,and joval but he's also a bitter cynic,but he's also a Ally of the Heroic Autobots.also thanks for sharing Micheal keep up the good work and Till All Are Fun.🙂👍🇺🇸🏋️🦸
Hasbro has shown us they've dropped the ball with Devcon. Hopefully, a Third Party company will see this video and become inspired to produce a decent figure of this character, for once! They could call their version "DEFTCON."
You know, if Smokescreen had lead with that one of the Autobots that Lord Ghicani (can't spell his name) had in his possession was Optimus Prime, Devcon might have been willing to join in the rescue.
Devcon I one of my untapped favorite characters ever. I have his MTF and Iron Factory figures, and also going to customize a CHUG scaled figure. He had so much potential.
After way too much effort I finally got my hands on a Legacy Devcon. He's pretty much perfect to the show model. Any differences are minor and it's pretty amazing he comes from the Blurr mold.
I think it's a CRIME that he only gotten two toys as I typed this! Like I really hope he get a new mold soon like in the current Legacy toyline (thought he would of gotten one in the Generation lines)!
Look like my wish got fulfill abliet a monkey paw of sort! The upcoming Legacy toy look great in robot mode but not so much in spaceship mode! It doesn't look that wide especially the arms/ wings area!
Hey mate! I really enjoy your videos and your editing is great! I love how you edit in those little jabs back and forth. Makes me laugh all the time. Thanks for what you do and for bringing this to life! if it catches your fancy I have a YT channel that raises awareness for the blind through action figures with a focus on Transformers. Be well mate and don't forget to have fun! :)
And now we have him in the Transformers Legacy toyline, I have mine and it looks funny next Road Rage, another Autobot bounty hunter. BTW, Lizzaldo appears as a bounty hunter hired by Galvatron to find some particles to destroy the Autobots in the S3 episode "Grimlock's New Brain".
A fun little romp down one of Transformers back alley. Devcon is the kind of bot whose got my back. I agree SS Scourge/Sweeps could work as Generation Selects Devcon. I could also see him with a pair of mini-cons like Drift in Robots in Disguise. One a Targetmaster and the other a Titan master.
Couldn't imagine him with the Autobots on earth ( only reason this transformation to a space ship ) although I can see him in season 3 of the Transformers on Cybertron being as Cybertron Chief of Security.
One possibility for why he didn't transform early on: as a starship he may spend long periods in vehicle mode. He probably just likes a chance to literally stretch his legs when he can.
Hopefully there's a recolor of SS86 Scourge with a few cosmetic changes to its design like FTL engines on its side. I was hoping that there would be an Alpha Trion too similar to what IronFactory had done for their Scourge mold.
I think I seen Slizardo in an episode during season 3 wasn’t that him in Ghost in the machine or Starscreams ghost episode when Octane was talking to Sandstorm 🤔 or one of his race of aliens possibly idk exactly been awhile since I saw them episodes
they still need to work on a g1 looking devcon and a separate slizardo figure - i'm getting a 3D printer soon - that and others will be on the list there is also the MFT sweeper / cosmos catcher 3RD party figure which kinda looks like him - i plan on making new parts for him 🤖🤘
I see him as a character that was a good guy that was just on his own for a very long time and developed a hard edge. Who knows what team he used to fly with that was killed off one by one? (like the 85 group was probably a team that came over all at once on Omega Supreme). Now he earns his energon by bringing justice to the universe one bad guy at a time, always on the look out for Deceticons.
And now you finally got an official Figure that actually resembles him properly!
Finished Business! 😁

Your wish has been granted!!! His LEGACY lives on!!!
Well now Legacy has finished the business. We’ve got a screen accurate figure for the first time!
Sweet to finally get a toy of him hopefully we get slizardo to go with some how whether offical or 3p
It’s pretty refreshing watching this,after the announcement of an official figure.
It's crazy, I never thought about this guy outside of the G1 episode he appeared in. Didn't realise that there was so much expanded universe lore associated with him. Great stuff, Michael 👍
Thanks! Same here, didn't realize he made such an impression. I've got a new appreciation for him now though.
@@MichaelMercy Devcon needs a new action figure.
@@rickyrackey7930 Request granted
If he ever was brought back into a main storyline, would he be rebranded as a member of the Mercenary faction.
Thanks so much for making this! Defcon was my favorite Transformer before The Movie, and The Gambler is 1 of my favorite episodes.

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it. Looking forward to the new Devcon they're making.
He finally got his figure in Legacy

I concur...some things are better left mystic...🤘🏼💯✔️
It seems to me that a remold of The latest Scourge is a no brainer for the Gen Selects line.
Just recently got my hands on the Legacy Evolution Devcon. Feels really good in hand.
The transformers story through DEVCON's eye's and memories is what we need now.
There will soon be a Lego Creators Expert Optimus Prime that transforms without needing to take it apart. The design is also based off of G1 Prime X3
The best part about Devcon is that unlike Boba Fett he has a personality and does things to justify being considered cool in his original appearance
You know, if Smokescreen had lead with that one of the Autobots that Lord Ghicani (can't spell his name) had in his possession was Optimus Prime, Devcon might have been willing to join in the rescue.
3.25am in Perth and can't sleep. Perfect timing! Thanks Michael Mercy!
Enjoy!
I'm glad he is getting a new figure!
We’re finally getting a G1 animation accurate deluxe Devcon! Info just dropped a few days ago 🤘
Devcon I one of my untapped favorite characters ever. I have his MTF and Iron Factory figures, and also going to customize a CHUG scaled figure. He had so much potential.
Devcon needs an action figure. Better yet, his own spinoff series.
Love to see a Super7 Devcon.
After way too much effort I finally got my hands on a Legacy Devcon. He's pretty much perfect to the show model. Any differences are minor and it's pretty amazing he comes from the Blurr mold.
Thanks for the Devcon shout-out!!!
Never disappointed with your hard work and retrospect videos Mr. Mercy 🙏🏾..very interesting and great job👍🏾
Awesome work! Definitely one of my favorite Autobots
Being a Bounty hunter is a kick ass job... Just ask the Fetts. 👍
The bobo fett of the transformers universe

Devcon:"If I can be join the Transformers: EarthSpark!"
"Well... will see!"

love this videos brother, I like when is you alone commenting, feels more objective interesting spot on. good job !
The guy that played Kup on the show even looks like Kup.
So cool! Your videos are the best! I hope you have a wonderful weekend! Nerdmaste!🙏
Thanks! Have a great weekend! Nerdmaste!
Imagine Devcon sneaks in and pretends as a Sweep to catch Scourge
Beast Wars DEPTH CHARGE reminds me of DEVCON . The Lizard is seen again in a season 3 Episode forget the name of the Episode .
True! 👍
And now we have him in the Transformers Legacy toyline, I have mine and it looks funny next Road Rage, another Autobot bounty hunter. BTW, Lizzaldo appears as a bounty hunter hired by Galvatron to find some particles to destroy the Autobots in the S3 episode "Grimlock's New Brain".
I can see him now being like the Mandolorian. We just need to give him a Grogu. XD

He'd probably scan a jet for disguse, or just stay a space ship like Skyfire.
@@MichaelMercy True that
got me self 2 3rd party Devcons - one from MechFansToys and one from Iron Factory. both are remolds/repaint of...you guessed it...Scourge.
Cool video nice to learn about a transformer I didn't knew or remember.
Not sure how Michael and the rest of the construction team can survive all those firings by Devcon.
SO WEIRD HOW I RANDOMLY WAS RUNNING ABOUT DEVCON 2DAYS AGO WHILE WALKING MY DOG.. then you do a video … Cool
A great review here,
very cool, very obscure!
Got a current day release of a Devcon toy and found this while looking for lore.
pipes has arm mounted cannons as well
9:03 Spratt's Headmaster partner is most likely the Freelance Peacekeeping Agent Death's Head, yes.
Cool idea!
One possibility for why he didn't transform early on: as a starship he may spend long periods in vehicle mode. He probably just likes a chance to literally stretch his legs when he can.
Great theory.
@@MichaelMercy Thanks
I would love for Pedro Pascal to voice Devcon in a future project.
The only thing I noticed about him as a adult was he had the same sounding voice as kup.
Hopefully there's a recolor of SS86 Scourge with a few cosmetic changes to its design like FTL engines on its side. I was hoping that there would be an Alpha Trion too similar to what IronFactory had done for their Scourge mold.
I’d never heard of him! Thanks for the vid!
Just got the Legacy Evo figure and its awsome!
What if he get a masterpiece toy like g1
I think I seen Slizardo in an episode during season 3 wasn’t that him in Ghost in the machine or Starscreams ghost episode when Octane was talking to Sandstorm 🤔 or one of his race of aliens possibly idk exactly been awhile since I saw them episodes
Awesome stuff
man looks like scourge in his teen years
😄
they still need to work on a g1 looking devcon and a separate slizardo figure - i'm getting a 3D printer soon - that and others will be on the list
there is also the MFT sweeper / cosmos catcher 3RD party figure which kinda looks like him - i plan on making new parts for him
🤖🤘
I have that figure, but the Iron Factory one is a much better figure.
He looks like a Dia Clone ship when transformed.......
Great video buddy. Hope you're doing well .
Thanks Mike, cheers. 👍
Top 5…#5
Actually i made the 4th comment
He might get a new toy
Hope so.
Also Lord Gyconi kinda looks like Alf.
How many episodes did slizzardo appear in?!
Now I who they could retool to look like Devcon? 🤔
Totally don't remember this episode
He remind me of silver from sonic
Hi
I see him as a character that was a good guy that was just on his own for a very long time and developed a hard edge.
