[NOTE: The photo that appears at the top of the post is NOT an actual pic of Devastator from Transformers 2. It is a fan-made mock up of what the big guy might ultimately look like.]
So I’ve been informed that there’s not a lot of love around these parts for Michael Bay’s robot extravaganza, Transformers. Now I’ll be the first to admit that Transformers was not without flaws, but come on—seeing your favorite ‘robots in disguise’ transforming in full CGI wonder didn’t send just a little tingle down your back and cause you to gush with 80’s nostalgia?
Ah well, you probably won’t care to hear that the famed ‘Constructicons’ will be a big feature of Transformers 2, and that yes, they will be combing to form fan-favorite colossus, Devastator.
(If you are psyched to hear that news, however, there’s some pretty cool concept art you can check out.)

Thank Comic Book Movie for the art, and for doing rumor control on the following facts surrounding the Constructicons/Devastator portion of Transformers 2:
- Seven construction vehicles merge to form Devastator
- Devastator has lots of upper body strength, like a gorilla
- Not just green, some of the vehicles are red and yellow
- The previously Long Haul concept art (below) by Josh Nizzi is legit.
Honestly, look me in the eye and tell me that concept art isn’t badass. You know it is.
However, if I must gripe about one thing, it’s that Devastator is going to made up of multi-colored robots??? That’s blaspheme if you’re any REAL Transformers fan. I mean, Constructicons roll as a team, that’s what they do: they’re a team of construction vehicles. (Last time I checked, Mr. Bay, those still came in uniform color.)
That one gripe aside, I predict I will be wearing moist pants after the Transformers 2 trailer if those seven robots jump up and turn into Devastator. And unless Michael Bay TOTALLY screws this up, I’m betting some of you naysayers out there will, too.

the devastator was only created to deyrtoy the pryamid to show the device the deaystroys the sun , that was his only job
If you watch the first movie, you’ll notice that Devastator IS in it! He’s the tank. That’s what confused me when I saw the second movie because the big guy sucking everything in is ALSO Devastator! I thought that was a big hole in the storyline. Either way, they’re still great action flicks with all the toys!!!
re: “…Devastator IS in it! He’s the tank.”
Ren, Sorry to hear that you’re STILL confused. Granted, there were more than a few screw-ups on Bay’s part in the sequel, but this was not one of them. Devastator is NOT the tank. The tank IS Brawl, as he was supposed to be in the first movie. They didn’t make that mistake again in the second movie (just all new mistakes). Just to clear it up for you: Tank = Brawl. Constucticons = Devastator. There was no confusion about that in the sequel, so go with it.
On that note, Devastator sucked! Um, no pun intended. He had such a good lead-in with the constructicons sitting there in their vehicle forms in the quarry, but then they joined, and he couldn’t seem to stand up! WTH! I was expecting him to rise up hundreds of feet tall, but all he did was kinda crouch like some knee-down amputee. But then, keep in mind that Prime obliterated a Decepticon early on in the sequel that looked like Scavenger, and also beheaded Bonecrusher in the first movie. So maybe Devastator wasn’t complete after all. That would explain why he couldn’t stand up.
The special effects were great as usual, but the story, continuity, and character development were really disappointing. But that’s Bay for you.
i didn’t know devastator was in it??!! thats cool…….upgrades are awsome
