The Devastator set was the final main release within Battles in Time on the original run. The Devastator set was announced in a press release by GE Fabbri Ltd. on the 28th of July 2008 and launched in September 2008 with a special magazine issue that included four packs of cards priced at £4.99. As with other sets, additional packs were also available to purchase separately.
The Devastator series consisted of 250 cards, numbered 826-1075, featuring characters from the Time Crash special through to Series 4s finale, Journey's End. The Devastator series' print run was rumoured to have been cut short or limited potentially due to factory issues. Therefore cards within the Devastator set are rarer than the previous sets with less cards being printed overall. The Devastator set was split into the following categories:
209 (C) Common cards (8 in every pack)
25 (R) Rare cards (1 in every pack)
10 (SR) Super-Rare cards (1 in every 6 packs)
6 (UR) Ultra-Rare cards (1 in every 24 packs)
1 Golden Ticket card (1 in every 1000 packs)
Devastator card packs supplied with magazines differed from those you could buy in newsagents, normally they were 12 card variations, most magazines towards the end of the series however contained a 9 card Devastator pack and a 9 card Ultimate Monsters Pack potentially in an attempt to use up old stock. This was apparent in some issues as they had attached "barcoded" packs intended for retail sales. Usually magazines would include packs which has "Not to be Sold Seperately" on the rear.

Please click on the Tick -list poster to view the full Set. I have scanned each card and placed them in one coherent file for your viewing pleasure. Due to compression of PDF file's they are not as high resolution as my initial scans, however I believe they are still the highest definition scans you will find in one place.
If not, I have uploaded low-resolution scans of each card below.
Devastator Special
The fourth and final special of Doctor Who: Battles in Time was published on 17 September 2008. Claire Lister edited it.
The card-mounted special was priced at £4.99 and came with four packs of Devastator trading cards
Unlike the previous specials, the Devastator special was not shown on the Battles in Time website.
Special Bad Wolf Warning
This card was a special card within the Devastator set. The card itself was useless in Battles in Time games because the Bonus Box was filled with the words 'Bad Wolf'. Another feature is that the rarity symbol is just 'BW' rather than 'C' as a common card, and the 'set' was also listed as 'Bad Wolf'.
Nine Card Panoramic
Nine cards from the set, each suffixed "TARDIS Crew", could be arranged side-by-side to create a continuous image of the nine pilots and passengers of the TARDIS in the Series Four finale Journey's End.
