The gigantic '''Demolishor''' may not be the sharpest tool in the shed, but he's smart enough to know when to fight openly and when to stick to the shadows. One of the [[Constructicon (ROTF)|Constructicons]], Demolishor arrived on [[Earth]] to find [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] dead, so he went into hiding, gathering other Decepticons who needed a big, blunt instrument to cower behind. Now in charge of this little band, he awaits the day when a new Decepticon leader will rise.

===IDW ''Transformers'' movie comics===
[[Image:Defiance4_Constructicons.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Impress the ladies with a new move...the incredible ''Double Pits to Chesty!!'']]

In the distant past, the [[All Spark (Movie)|All Spark]] Cube created [[Thirteen original Transformers|a race]] of powerful, trans-dimensional beings as the first inhabitants of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. The Cube gave these beings mighty powers, as well as terraforming their world, but it was not limitless, and gradually became depleted. The first beings learned that the All Spark's power could be replenished by harvesting the energy of stars, but they were unable to locate new stars to suit their purposes, despite their amazing ability to travel between dimensions. Once again, the Cube came to the rescue, creating a race of workers, who had the ability to change their shape.

Demolishor (or a Transformer who shared his [[body-type]]) was among the very first of these new beings, one of several "builders" who would construct a [[Solar harvester|harvester]] when a suitable sun had been found. Once built, the device would drain the energy of these stars, thus replenishing the All Spark. {{Storylink|Defiance issue 4}} It is assumed that at some point during the civil war on Cybertron, he sided with [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]], the new protege of Demolishor's only surviving ancient master, [[The Fallen]].

Many thousands of years later, Demolishor was detected in [[Shanghai]], [[China]], prompting the [[human]]-[[Autobot]] [[NEST]] team under [[William Lennox|Major Lennox]] and [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] to move out. {{storylink|Alliance issue 4}}

[[Image:ROTF-DemolishorPrime.jpg|right|thumb|300px|Prime is his bling!]]

NEST arrived in Shanghai with a cover story from the Chinese government that there was a chemical spill in the area. Major Lennox and his men followed a radiation blip to a construction site where a massive excavator stood. Suddenly, the excavator transformed and revealed itself to be Demolishor! In fury, he smashed his arms on the ground, flinging concrete pipes onto approaching NEST troopers, crushing them, before rolling away. NEST's firepower availed them little as Demolishor shrugged off their attacks and smashed his way to the nearby freeway. Most of the Autobots were soon deployed to deal with his running comrade [[Sideways (ROTF)|Sideways]], leaving NEST with only [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] to deal with the massive Constructicon. Overhead, a [[United States Air Force#C-17 Globemaster III|C-17 Globemaster III]] circled, dropping the most powerful Autobot onto the battle field: [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] had entered the game.

As Demolishor rolled along the freeway, crushing cars and destroying barriers, Optimus intercepted him at an overpass and leaped onto his head as the Decepticon reduced the overpass to rubble. Demolishor declined Optimus' demand for him to "pull over" forcing the Autobot leader to fire his [[Ion blaster]] into the former's head, soon followed by Ironhide jumping on and shooting out his massive tires. The crippled Decepticon crashed into a warehouse district and was helpless as Optimus Prime, Ironhide, and the rest of the NEST soldiers advanced.

Standing before the "Punk-ass Decepticon" as Ironhide dubbed him, Optimus inquired if there were any last words he wished to convey. In defiance, Demolishor declared with his dying breath that they were too late, and that [[The Fallen]] would rise again. Optimus Prime replied in the negative and shot him through the optic, executing him. {{storylink|Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen}}

**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RD-03'''

:Demolishor transforms from a red [http://www.terex.com/main.php?obj=prod&action=VIEW&nav=prod&id=67dfc329929677047029393f18f590e9 O&K/Terex RH400 heavy duty excavator] into a very unique robot mode via a surprisingly complex transformation. His [[Mech Alive]] gimmick in robot mode is a drum in each arm that spins when you move his lower arm (not in the shoulders as the packaging call out states). He has real rubber treads that sadly can't move, and no little plastic wheels that help it move either. He is almost impossible to stand up—let alone pose—but it ''can'' be managed.

:In the film, Demolishor's vehicle mode features a lot more white. This toy's colors are actually a match to [[Scavenger (ROTF)|Scavenger's]] colors.

:Like several ''[[Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' toys, such as [[Starscream (Movie)|Voyager class Starscream]] and [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Leader class Optimus Prime]], Demolishor is yet another victim of late mold changes due to 2008-2009 economic problems. On the back of the box, his treads are pictured as being made of several individual, linked plastic sections. The sections were apparently recast as a single rubber tread ring instead for the final toy.

==Notes==
*Demolishor is identical in design and vehicle form to [[Scavenger (ROTF)|Scavenger]]. In the film itself, Demolishor is mostly white with red striping and signage, but in other places his coloration matches Scavenger, such as his toy, his ''Robot Heroes'' figure, and in his appearances in [[Revenge of the Fallen (video games)|the video game]] and [[Revenge of the Fallen Movie Adaptation issue 1|the comic adaptation]]. [[Repurposing]] is quite fitting, if one so chooses.

*Though likely as vicious as every other Decepticon shown in the movie continuity, Demolishor's demise could be viewed as a rather unfortunate moral grey area on the Autobots' part. Technically he was just hiding and did not attack until his discovery was imminent. To make matters worse his toy bio, while far from flattering, seems to imply that he "takes care of smaller frightened Decepticons out of the goodness of his spark". To top things off, his completely accurate statement that Earth was not the Autobots' to rule never actually implies that it is the Decepticons' either. Again, probably a monstrous mechanical bully... but still slightly unsettling.

*During the production of ''Revenge of the Fallen'', the as-yet-unnamed Demolishor was referred to with the simple if descriptive moniker of "'''Wheelbot'''". Although Hasbro went on to provide a proper name for the character, Demolishor still wound up being listed as "Wheelbot" in the credits of the film itself.

==Synopsis==
===Autobot campaign===
{{cleanup|August 2009|This is clearly not up to our standards}}

The [[Autobot]] campaign begins when [[NEST]] pilot [[Robert Epps|Sgt. Epps]] reports [[Decepticon]]s in [[Shanghai]], [[China]]. Upon the arrival of the Autobots, [[William Lennox|Major Lennox]] tells them there are Decepticons in the perimeter who must not escape. Ironhide is sent to fight them. Ironhide then battles and defeats Sideways. When Optimus Prime gets word that Ironhide is missing, Ratchet heads out to find him and get him to safety. After locating Ironhide, his power is recharged and another Decepticon battle ensues. The Decepticon forces then attack Shanghai's waterfront. After annihilating Decepticon troops, Optimus Prime battles Demolishor. Upon his defeat and before Optimus Prime deactivates him, Demolishor states that The Fallen shall rise again. Before leaving Shanghai, Breakaway finds and restores the NEST communications devices while eliminating the remnants of the decepticons forces.

The Autobots then head to Burbank, California where a previously unknown fragment of the [[All Spark]] has surfaced, now in possession of [[Mikaela Banes]]. Bumblebee is sent to protect Mikaela when the Decepticons detect the fragment also. After getting Mikaela and the fragment to safety, the Autobots get word that the Decepticons are attacking a nearby oil refinery and have trapped some engineers there. Ratchet locates the engineers and gets them to safety. A NEST unit headed up by Epps is surrounded by Decepticons at the West Coast Canal and need the Autobots to escort them to safety. With the NEST unit saved by Ironhide, Optimus informs the Autobots they need to achieve their goals better if they are to repel the Decepticons.

The All Spark Fragment held by the Americans has been stolen. NSA Chief [[Theodore Galloway]] reveals Megatron's location to the Decepticons. With Megatron's body in the [[Laurentian Abyss]], Optimus tells the Autobots that if the fragment reaches Megatron's remains, he will be reborn. Breakaway ends up defending a Carrier Ship group guarding Megatron's corpse from the Decepticons. Breakaway repairs the damaged anti-aircraft guns and rescues the wounded soldiers. After all that is done, Megatron is reactivated.

Ironhide begins restoring the NEST Communication Arrays after fending off some Decepticon troops. After all NEST Communication Arrays are restored, Optimus Prime informs the Autobots that a Decepticon incursion is occurring on the East Coast.

Sam Witwicky has been kidnapped by the Decepticon troops and has been taken to an industrial park near his college. Bumblebee fights the Decepticon troops while Ratchet traces Sam's location through the defeated Decepticons. Ratchet manages to locate Sam in an abandoned foundry and sends Bumblebee the coordinates. Bumblebee rescues Sam and gets him to safety. When they reach the extraction point, Grindor attacks. Bumblebee manages to defeat him. To aid their allies against the Decepticons, Optimus Prime decides to give them advanced weaponry and takes the cargo containing the Axion Gun to NEST HQ. Optimus Prime helps defend Cargo Truck 37 (ridden shotgun by Sgt. Epps) from the Decepticon troops. After getting the convoy to its destination, the Autobots depart to meet up with Sam Witwicky who is going to visit an old acquaintance who might know what the Decepticons seek.

===Decepticon Campaign===

The Decepticon campaign begins in [[Shanghai]] with Sideways tracking down Autobots in his area. He then learns that Grindor has gone missing and Sideways must find, repair, and transport Grindor to the extraction site. Once Grindor is safe, he attacks Autobots protecting NEST arrays and infiltrates them with a virus. This virus will give the Decepticons access to NEST communications. Next, Long Haul is used to destroy NEST bases located around the city of Shanghai. Finally, Ironhide emerges to fight Long Haul. Ironhide is killed and Starscream proclaims the victory as a message to Optimus Prime.

The Decepticons then head to Burbank, California. Soundwave has learned that Sam Witwicky has given a shard of the All Spark to Mikaela. They hope to recover the shard and revive Megatron. Long Haul destroys buildings, capturing men who may know Mikaela's location. However, the probe Starscream uses kills the first three before they can be of any use. Although the last engineer dies, Starscream is able to discover Mikaela's location. Long Haul is once again sent to recover her. Unfortunately, Starscream receives word that the Decepticon troops transporting Mikaela have been intercepted by the Autobots. After her capture, the Decepticons head to the East Coast.

==Technical errors and oddities==
* In the PC version, when you insert the game disc for the first time, the game crashes as soon as it reaches the Paramount logo screen. The only way to fix this is to restart your computer, however, the error will instantly return the next time you insert the disc, thus forcing you to restart your computer again. The only way to avoid this glitch is to keep the disc in your CD drive.

==Quotes==
"Today, one shall stand, and one shall fall."
:—'''Optimus Prime''' homages like its [[The Transformers: The Movie|1986]].

"All units: let the slaughter begin!"
:—'''Megatron''' does as well.

"I see a Decepticon, I attack a Decepticon."
:—'''Bumblebee''' kills and kills and kills.

'''Optimus''': We are accomplishing our objectives with great speed and less damage to the surroundings. 
'''Ratchet''': Except for the incident where Ironhide destroyed that ice cream truck. 
'''Ironhide''': It was emitting a Decepticon audio signature! 
'''Ratchet''': It was ''playing a song''.
:—As [[Kaiba-5|before]], Ironhide is way too trigger happy.

'''Starscream''': We Decepticons are always swift in battle! 
'''Grindor''': Although you, Starscream, are equally swift in retreating. 
'''Starscream''': I have ''never'' retreated! EVER! 
'''Grindor''': Of course not. You simply advance ''backwards''. 
''[Starscream roars in anger]''
:—Grindor takes up [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]]'s job of dissing Starscream.

==Trivia==
*Throughout the North American levels, there are billboards for films such as [[wikipedia : The Island (2005 film)|The Atoll]], [[wikipedia : Bad Boys (1995 film)|Tough Guyz]], [[wikipedia : Armageddon (1998 film)|Earth's End]], and [[wikipedia : The Rock (film)|The Stone]].

*For destroying 250 Decepticons in the Autobot campaign, you earn the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MiHsxQJ9ZOo Awesome] Achievement/Trophy.

*For destroying 350 Autobots in the Decepticon campaign, you earn the [[wikipedia : Bad Boys (1995 film)|Bad Boys]] Achievement/Trophy.

*Six episodes of the Generation 1 cartoon can be unlocked in the course of the game: [[S.O.S. Dinobots]], [[Fire on the Mountain]], [[War of the Dinobots]], and The Ultimate Doom, Parts [[The Ultimate Doom, Part 1|1]], [[The Ultimate Doom, Part 2|2]], and [[The Ultimate Doom, Part 3|3]].

*G1-style colour schemes for Ironhide and Starscream can be unlocked for both single and multiplayer modes. Additionally, a yellow colour scheme can be unlocked for Long Haul, making him more closely resemble a conventional (or [[Tonka]]) dump truck.

*As in the [[Transformers The Game|previous games]], [[Frank Welker]] returns as Megatron. He does not, however, voice any of the characters ([[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]], [[Grindor (ROTF)|Grindor]], and [[Devastator (ROTF)|Devastator]]) he did in the movie.

==Differences between the Game and Movie==
* The Decepticons are not looking for the [[Matrix of Leadership]] as they did in the movie, but the solar harvester itself.
* Breakaway did not appear in the movie.
* In the movie, Bumblebee is still having troubles with his speech. In the game, he has completely regained his speech.
* Jetfire's death is altered. In the movie, he commits suicide and gives his parts to Optimus. In the games, he is either stabbed by Megatron before giving his parts to Optimus (Autobot campaign) or killed by the player (Decepticon campaign).
* In the movie, Sideways is killed by [[Sideswipe (ROTF)|Sideswipe]]. In the Autobot campaign, he is killed by Ironhide (or whoever the player is), since Sideswipe is absent in this game.
* In the movie, Devastator is killed at the pyramids. In the game, he is killed in Cairo.
* The Autobots did not supply the humans with a weapon to battle the Decepticons in the movie.

'''Gunbarrel''' isn't a personality bot. He rarely says a word, but he prefers to blast eveything he wants, giving [[Brawl (Movie)|Brawl]] a run for his money. He uses his brain module to aim at targets at a distance, yet he wants to remove it entirely to add another cannon on his head. Many Autobots who face him are lucky his imagination and intelligence aren't equal to his firepower.

He had a clear greenish-blue [[energon chip]] that could attach to most ''Energon''-series toy molds. He could also have formed the arm or leg to any ''Energon'' combiner team super robot — though no super robot torsos actually came out during the original live-action movie toyline, and his packaging makes no mention of the toy's ability to combine.
