The '''Matrix Blade''' is the ultimate expression of the power of the [[Matrix of Leadership|Matrix]] shared by [[Optimus Prime (RID)|Optimus Prime]] and [[Ultra Magnus (RID)|Ultra Magnus]] in their combined form of [[Omega Prime]]. In moments of desperate need, the energy of the Matrix will burst forth and coalesce into the absurdly huge sword, the power of which few foes can withstand.

==Fiction==
===2001 ''Robots in Disguise'' cartoon===
While Omega Prime and [[Megatron (RID)|Galvatron]] engaged in a one-on-one battle at the centre of the Earth, the [[Autobot]]s' [[human]] ally [[Koji Onishi|Koji]] was busy attempting to re-energize the drained [[Fortress Maximus (RID)|Fortress Maximus]]. When Koji informed children all across the world of the Autobots' plight, their desire for the Autobots to succeed infused Fortress Maximus's harmonic resonance protocols with energy–energy which the giant then redirected through the [[Global Space Bridge]] to Omega Prime. The Matrix within Omega Prime's body was flooded with this energy, and brought forth the Matrix Blade, which Omega Prime was able to use to end the tyranny of Galvatron once and for all. {{storylink|The Final Battle (RID)|The Final Battle}}

{{toydesigner|[[Kōjin Ōno]] (original tooling)}}

:A blue [[redeco]] of the [[Master Sword]] included with the Japanese release of [[Fortress Maximus (G1)#Toys|Fortress Maximus]], the Super God Sword came with two handles: the original, allowing it to be held by [[Fortress Maximus (RID)#Car Robots|Brave Maximus]], or the longer, staff-style handle seen in the cartoon, which allowed it to be held (sort of) by the [[Omega Prime#Toys|Omega Prime]] toy. This was effectively an either-or proposition, as the handles are not made to be interchanged once attached. What appears to be Cybertronian writing on the sword's base actually reads "[['Til all are one|Till All Are One]]" in garbled text.

:The Super God Sword was only available as a prize in a postcard drawing advertised through ''[[TV Magazine]]'', ''[[Hyper Hobby]]'' magazine, and a television commercial. The contest ran from mid-September to the end of November 2000, and the sword was limited to 1000 pieces.

:This mold was also used to make [[Grand Maximus#Toys|Grand Maximus]]'s [[Master Blade (Masterforce)|Master Blade]].

:The Super God Sword was later made more widely available (comparatively speaking) on November 23, 2000 when it was included as part of a [[giftset]] [[exclusive]] to Japanese [[Toys"R"Us]] stores, which featured translucent versions of Super Fire Convoy and God Magnus. This version only included the staff handle, so could not be held by Fortress Maximus. The sword itself remained opaque as a straight repackaging of the original release.

*'''Sandstorm'''
:Sandstorm was to have been a desert camo-themed [[redeco]] of the ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' version of [[Ramjet (G1)/toys#Generation 2|Ramjet]]. As such, he presumably would have had firing missile launchers, and perhaps a sound effects box that would have been mountable above his engines.

:Given that ''Generation 2'' [[Starscream (G1)/toys#Generation 2|Starscream]] and Ramjet were released in tandem, it is possible that Hasbro planned to follow the same pattern for [[Blackout (G2)#Toys|Blackout]] and Sandstorm.

: A redeco of ''[[War for Cybertron: Earthrise (toyline)|Earthrise]]'' [[Ramjet_(G1)/toys#War_for_Cybertron:_Earthrise|Ramjet]], Sandstorm transforms into a modified F-15 fighter jet with cranked-arrow delta wings based on the F-16XL prototype. He is now cast in a desert camo deco, and has a shark face marking on his nosecone. As one of the Coneheads, Sandstorm features a new headsculpt based on the original conehead design, though it is a faux piece not formed from the actual nosecone.

:The figure's design and transformation scheme are heavily based on the 2006 Classics Starscream mold (and it's subsequent retool of Ramjet), while adding points of articulation the earlier figure did not have such as pivoting ankles, a more expressive ball-jointed head, and hinges that allow the wings to fold backwards on his legs in robot mode. However, due to this, his torso is very hollow at the sides and his intended waist articulation was dropped due to the physical space required for transformation.

:Unlike Dirge and Ramjet, Sandstorm's shoulders are not painted, but his painted head is extremely prone to paint chipping.

==Notes==
[[File:G2SandstormProductionColors.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66]]
* Sandstorm's artwork, under the ad hoc name "Desert Ramjet", has been floating around the internet for some years, having originally surfaced from the same collection of ex-Hasbro employee memorabilia that yielded [[:File:G2GrimlockArtwork.jpg|"tiger" Grimlock]] and [[Blackout (G2)|Blackout]].
*In [[2007]], a physical mock-up matching the "desert Ramjet" art came to the fandom's attention via a pictorial review done by ''Transformers'' fan and rarities-hunter Maziar "Maz" Shahsafdari for his website TF-1.com. However, the existence of Sandstorm as a named [[character]] separate from Ramjet was not revealed until a labeled copy of the artwork was printed in the 2011 ''[[Transformers Vault]]'' collector's book.
*In [[2012]], it was revealed that Sandstorm was ''much'' further along in production than the fandom had previously suspected when a deco-less test shot was discovered on the Chinese auction site TaoBao (from a seller also possessing loose ''Generation 2'' [[Stunticon (G1)|Stunticons]], [[Protectobot (G1)|Protectobots]], and a [[:File:G2BlackoutProductionColor.jpg|production colors Blackout]]).<ref>[http://www.collecticon.org/2012/01/g2-sandstorm-and-g2-night-attack-starscream-prototypes-discovered-amidst-ancient-relics-in-china-now-on-taobao-for-a-shitload-of-money/ Blog post by Collecticon, 25 January 2012]</ref> The test shot differs from the package art and mock-up by possessing two shades of tan, black missiles, and a tan head, though the color layouts between the three line up otherwise.
* A thematically similar hand-painted redeco of the [[Starscream (G1)/toys#Generation 2|Starscream]] mold (in [[:File:G2SSJungleprotojet.jpg|jungle colors]]) is also known to exist, having been found in an auction on [[eBay]] in 2007. Whether it was meant to be Starscream or a new character like Sandstorm is unknown.
* In addition to that, there's [[:File:WhizBangNavyRamjetRedeco.jpg|another Ramjet redeco]] in sky blue colors. Same knowledge on character goes.

{{disambig3|Devastator}}
:''Devastator is a [[Decepticon]] [[Constructicon (ROTF)|Constructicon]] [[combiner]] from the [[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (franchise)|Revenge of the Fallen]] portion of the [[live-action film series]] [[continuity family]].''
[[File:ROTF_Devastator_promo.jpg|thumb|400px|[[City of Steel (episode)|King Kong]] ain't got nothin' on me!]]

Whether he's formed from six, seven, eight, or even nine [[Constructicon (ROTF)|Constructicons]], '''Devastator''' is a giant among giants. He is in fact so huge that his body simply cannot support itself when carrying his weight upright, forcing him to lumber on all fours.

Devastator is a tormented being, his very formation wracking his component Constructicons with pain and stressing them to the breaking point both physically and mentally. The imperfect fusion process produces a mind that's very much less than the sum of its parts; rage and pain are all he knows, pushing aside whatever intelligence he might possess. Devastator relies on almost pure instinct in battle.

Devastator is named after [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron's]] unwithstandable and terrifyingly destructive [[Devastator Winds]], due to his intimidating strength. Devastator can also create powerful gravity wells by generating an artificial [[black hole]] with his [[Vortex Grinder]], located in his mouth.<ref>Devastator's [http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/en_US/discover/Battle-Bios.cfm Battle Bio] at Hasbro.com</ref> Nearby objects are drawn into his gaping mouth to be crushed.

Devastator is made up of:
*[[Scavenger (ROTF)|Scavenger]] (torso)
*[[Hightower (ROTF)|Hightower]] (left arm)
*[[Long Haul (ROTF)|Long Haul]] (right leg)
*[[Mixmaster (ROTF)|Mixmaster]] (head)
*[[Rampage (ROTF)|Rampage]] (left leg/foot) (more likely to be foot because of the yellow dump truck)
*[[Scrapper (ROTF)|Scrapper]] (right arm)
;Sometimes omitted
*[[Overload (ROTF)|Overload]] (lower waist)
*[[Unknown Constructicon dump truck|Yellow dump truck]] (left leg)

==Fiction==
===IDW movie comics===
Devastator was involved in a battle with [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] and [[Sideswipe (Movie)|Sideswipe]], thousands of years ago. {{storylink|Tales of the Fallen issue 2|Tales of the Fallen #2}}

{{voiceactor|[[Frank Welker]] (English), [[Yasuyoshi Hara]] (Japanese)}}
[[File:Devastator-ROTFvsLeoSpitz.jpg|thumb|left|300px|He's like a giant puppy! Who wants to eat you.]]

Upon arrival in [[Egypt]], the Constructicons that made up Devastator combined and attacked [[Leo Spitz]], [[Seymour Simmons]], [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]], and [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]]. It rampaged through the construction facility, sucking up anything not anchored down, such as sand, cars, and Mudflap. Despite the powerful vacuum, Mudflap held out for a while before being sucked further in. Seeking vengeance, Skids clambered up Devastator for revenge. However, Mudflap had survived, and he blasted a hole through the giant Decepticon's eye to climb out before further attacking the combiner and slowing it down.

[[File:ROTF Devastator death.jpg|thumb|275px|Hi ho, hi ho-HOLY SLAG!]]
[[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] yelled Devastator's name from atop the [[Great Pyramid of Giza]] to end the twins' distraction. Devastator clambered out of the construction pit and grappled his way to the peak of the pyramid, where he used his vortex grinder to suck up the stones that hid the [[Star Harvester|star harvester]] inside. By this point, Simmons had made his way to the pyramid, and he radioed a nearby navy ship to fire its experimental [[rail gun]], which had been developed based on studies of Megatron during his captivity at [[Hoover Dam]]. The gun's projectile hit Devastator, blasting off an arm and the lower half of his leg, making him lose his balance, causing him to shatter into many pieces as his body tumbled down the pyramid. {{storylink|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen}}

{{note|Devastator's involvement in the preceding events, or events mostly similar, were also chronicled in the novels ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (novel)|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen]]'', ''[[Revenge of the Fallen: The Junior Novel]]'' and ''[[The Last Prime]]''; the comic mini-series ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Official Movie Adaptation]]''; and the storybooks "[[I Am Optimus Prime (ROTF)|I Am Optimus Prime]]", "[[Rise of the Decepticons]]", "[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Electronic Voice Changer]]" and "[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Mix & Match]]".}}

===Titan movie comics===
[[File:Rotf devastator vs stratosphere.jpg|left|thumb|275px|''The CLAAAAAWWWW!'']]
The Decepticons recovered Devastator's remains, and brought them to the peaks of [[British Columbia]], [[Canada]], so that the behemoth could be repaired by a squad under the watchful optics of [[Skywarp (Movie)|Skywarp]]. Hiding the construction site with a dense, artificially-generated cloudbank, the Decepticons proceeded with repairs until the unfortunate Autobot [[Stratosphere]] stumbled across their location while on a routine patrol in the area. The partially functional Devastator lashed out at the airborne Autobot, smashing off one of his wings and causing him to crash. Stratosphere survived the hit and fought his way past Skywarp to co-opt the Decepticons' communications array, using it to call in an air-strike on Devastator's position. Stratosphere and his fellow Autobots wondered if Devastator could have survived the massive blast that followed, but they decided not to wait around to find out. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.14|Head in the Clouds}}

After the Autobots defeated Megatron and [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]], the Decepticons' ultimate weapon, Devastator, was unleashed upon [[Cairo]]. [[William Lennox|Major Lennox]]'s [[NEST]] forces as well as the local military were unable to hold back the titanic Decepticon, and were relegated to a supporting role once the Autobots arrived in the city. However, NEST helicopters provided invaluable assistance by laser-painting critical weapons subsystems for the Autobots to attack, such as his back-mounted missile launchers, his hip-mounted cannons and his arm-mounted guns, before they could attack his head-mounted armored node. Once the node was breached, Devastator collapsed in the streets of Cairo. {{Storylink|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (Xbox 360/PS3/PC)}}

*'''Constructicon Devastator''' (Legends multi-pack, [[2009]])
:Like the on-screen combiner, but unlike the Supreme Class Devastator toy, the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Legends Class Devastator comprises seven Constructicons, including the elusive [[Overload (ROTF)|Overload]], each with individual robot modes. Because of this, he is a lot more complex than the Supreme class toy, with a more "layered" look than his movie counterpart had. Devastator is (roughly) Deluxe sized while standing up. The only real drawback he has is that he almost has no articulation. But hey, you can't have everything, right?

:In [[Hasbro]]'s markets, this Devastator set was available as a [[Walmart]] [[exclusive]] in North America, an Argos exclusive in the UK and a Farmers exclusive in New Zealand, packaged in a currently-unique clear box in gestalt mode. A huge two-sided instruction sheet explains transformation in both directions from gestalt to vehicles and vehicles to robots, with the curious note that "Some poses may require hand support".

:In [[Japan]], the Constructicon team members were available individually. Unlike the usual EZ collection toys, the Constructicons are not blind packed but packed in much the same way as Hasbro's Legends class releases.

[[File:TF-ROTF-Supreme-Class-Devastator-(Takara-Tomy).jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|You've got red on you. ''(TakaraTomy version pictured)'']]
*'''Constructicon Devastator''' (2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RD-16'''
:''Revenge of the Fallen'' Supreme Class Devastator is formed from the combination of six transforming construction vehicle toys that do not have individual robot modes. Unlike [[Duocon|prior]] [[Optimus Prime (Armada)/toys#Energon|cases]] of this format, Devastator's vehicles represent separate Transformers, [[Scavenger (ROTF)|and]] [[Rampage (ROTF)|most]] [[Long Haul (ROTF)|of]] [[Mixmaster (ROTF)|them]] have other non-combiner toys that ''do'' have robot modes.

:Despite the figure's complex appearance (from the front anyway), the limbs' transformations into combined mode are rather simple. Fortunately, this makes him a lot easier to muck with than some of the other larger-scale ''Revenge of the Fallen'' toys. This is good, because Devastator is ENORMOUS. His smallest limbs (his legs) are the size of Deluxe-class toys, and his largest components are bigger than Leader-class toys. While the legs can not be swapped (unless for some reason you want a backwards walking Devastator), the arms can be swapped around. The pegs meant to plug Rampage and Long Haul into Devastator's hips also fit snugly into the sockets meant for connecting Scrapper and Hightower to Scavenger... if you're inclined to have a random arm connected to a stray leg with no body in between, or a vehicle mode about as useful as a poorly matched [[Micromaster Combiner]] pair.

:The toy's electronics are all in the Mixmaster component. Pressing the button makes Devastator's mouth open and activates voice clips and engine sounds, as well as green lights in his mouth and eyes. Pressing the button for a few seconds activates his "Vortex grinder". However, the button trigger is so sensitive that he ''never shuts up''. In Devastator mode, his mouth can be locked into the open position by clicking his lower jaw sections into the large tank treads that form his shoulders. His mouth is enormous, and it lights up all pretty and green. He can easily swallow any Legends Class toy and spit it out the other side by opening up the back of his head. Covering Devastator's head when separating him from the torso and turning him back into Mixmaster's vehicle mode activates the transformation noise, and after that somehow makes engine stalling noises without pulling the trigger.

:Sadly, Devastator has a hard time standing on all four of his limbs, and is most stable standing on his hind legs. This is mainly because the most weight is located in the head, and his fingers are not made to hold that weight. He will also look straight to the ground unless you lock his head in place with the lower jaw.

:The Japanese [[TakaraTomy]] release of this figure has extra paint applications on Devastator's face, for a better resemblance to the final CG model.

*'''Constructicon Devastator''' (2009)
:''Revenge of the Fallen'' [[Power Bots|Mega Power Bots]] Devastator is a simple toy for younger children, featuring plenty of playing sounds and flashing lights. His limbs have limited swivel articulation and do not detach into separate vehicles. He has a distinctly more humanoid stature than normal.

:Unlike regular [[Power Bots]], and unlike other portrayals of the character in general, Devastator features a transformation! It consists of putting his arms up and laying him flat on his stomach, which lets him roll around using the wheels on his limbs.

:Pressing down the Decepticon shield on his crotch (!) spins the vortex in his chest, lights up his eyes and makes him utter one of many Welker-recorded phrases, including [[The Transformers: The Movie|"Prepare for extermination!"]], "Crush Autobots!" and "I am Devastator!" Pressing on the crane of his excavator arm makes a cannon blast sound effect, while pressing the cab of his loader arm turns the scoop into claws.

:A [[Toys"R"Us]]-exclusive Generation 1-themed redeco of Legends Devastator and his components was released in the 2010 ''Transformers'' toyline. Unlike Takara's go at the same idea, this Devastator only uses purple for the Constructicons' windshields, and as a result is mostly lime green and gray. The seven individual Constructicons also have brown [[paint operation]]s on and around their wheels to simulate dirt.

==Notes==
{{quote|[[Steven Spielberg|Spielberg]] saw [Devastator] and said, 'This is [expletive] awesome!' It's always nice when you can make him swear.|[[Michael Bay]]|"[http://www.usatoday.com/life/movies/news/2009-04-01-transformers-first-look_N.htm First look: Robo-brawlers big, small in new 'Transformers']" in ''USA Today'' ([[April 3]], [[2009]])}}

[[File:ROTF Devastator and components concept art.jpg|thumb|250px|"Six?! What happened to seven?!" "Just kidding."]]
*Technically, Devastator stands at 100 feet tall, as illustrated in the film's official scale chart. However, he's so top-heavy that it is only possible for him to rise to 45 feet. This makes him about twice as tall Optimus Prime and on a roughly equal level to [[Grimlock (AOE)|Grimlock]], although he far surpasses either of them in bulk.
*In the film, none of Devastator's components are shown as individual Transformers. This might vaguely justify why the components of his Supreme class toy lack individual robot modes.
*Devastator's final CGI head differed from that used for his promotional images, including more red panels and several pulleys and wires, four highly pronounced horns, and a trio of throat gears lit like a furnace instead of a single complex vortex machine lit green like his eyes.
*In the film, there are ''nine'' vehicles that form Devastator! A [[Unknown Constructicon shovel|yellow bulldozer]] is seen unfolding and is then scooped up by Devastator's left arm, which has been formed by Hightower. Another [[Unknown Constructicon dump truck|yellow dump truck]] lines up next to Rampage and helps him form the leg. This means two things: It explains why Devastator's left arm has scoops on it while Hightower's vehicle mode has no such equipment, and also why none of the Devastator toys are movie-accurate.
**In the [[Hasbro_Q%26A/December_2009:_Answers|December 2009 Q&A]] Hasbro stated that there are seven Constructicons that form Devastator. [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]] explained that Devastator can be formed by any number from six to nine.<ref>[[Transformers Comic issue 2.13#Law and Disorder|Transformers Comic issue 2.13, Law and Disorder]]</ref> [[Vector Sigma]]'s online [[Datatrax|Data Tracks]] revealed that Devastator's composition is not set. Devastator is simply bigger the more Constructicons unite.<ref>[http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/en_US/discover/cybertronian-database.cfm#/glossary/constructicon Vector Sigma's online glossary]</ref>
*Devastator is made up of 52,632 geometric pieces and 11,716,127 polygons. The total length of all the pieces is 13.84 miles. <ref>Robertson, Barbara (2009). Weighty Matters. Computer Graphics World, 32(7), 20-29</ref>
*Devastator is made up of 6467 total textures, taking up 32 gigabytes of computer space. <ref>Robertson, Barbara (2009). Weighty Matters. Computer Graphics World, 32(7), 20-29</ref>
*When Devastator punches the pyramid, its hand is traveling at 390 miles per hour. <ref>Robertson, Barbara (2009). Weighty Matters. Computer Graphics World, 32(7), 20-29</ref>
[[File:Devastator-ROTFenemyscrotum.jpg|thumb|250px|NSFW]]
*Devastator's got [[Humanization#Nuts.2C_bolts.2C_and_screws|brass balls]]. Exactly ''how'' is pretty questionable; even the crane Hightower would only have one wrecking ball as a counterweight meaning this was just another cheap, throw-away gag. When Hasbro was asked if there ever will be a Devastator toy with wrecking balls, they replied straight out "no".
**The Devastator Showdown track set does, however, feature one wrecking ball that chases cars down the track. Hmmm.
*According to [[Shawn Kelly]], the [[Industrial Light & Magic|ILM]] lead animator for ''Revenge of the Fallen'', Devastator caused a computer to catch fire spontaneously and its insides to melt. <ref>''Nickelodeon Magazine'', issue 153, published June 2009</ref> One assumes he was exaggerating for the purposes of publicity, as it is improbable for modern computers to actually catch fire under operations for which they are designed, such as rendering an extremely complex model. The special features on the DVD do (indirectly) show one of the computers blowing, with lots of black smoke and the poor animator (and his keyboard) covered in soot. (This was all done as a prank, leading to said animator asking "What the hell, man?") Not quite melting, but still.
*Interestingly, despite the supreme class toy being formed from vehicles similar to his [[Devastator (G1)|''Generation 1'' counterpart]] (dump truck, bulldozer, front end loader, crane, excavator, mixing truck), none of them form the same component in both versions.
*In [[Transformers Generations 2009]], volume 3, a very early Devastator mock-up is pictured that places more emphasis on height than width (being rather creepily lanky) and includes among other things, a [[Blackout (Movie)|Sikorsky]] helicopter as a component. It was [[customizing|customized]] from various figures from other lines, including some from Spawn and Kamen Rider.
*Massive Black's concept art is totally different from the film version: a red mining truck forms the torso, an excavator and timber harvester form the arms, and the legs are formed by a military plow and bulldozer. The resulting robot is human in posture.<ref>[http://www.kempart.com/CAPOST/CApost4rt/Devastator01.jpg]</ref>
*Devastator has a [[tongue]], which is cool and disturbing-looking at the same time.
*According to a [[catalog]] included with ROTF toys, the ONLY way for the Autobots to defeat Devastator is by combining Optimus Prime and Jetfire.
*Given that the film establishes multiple sets of Constructicons, it seems entirely possible that more than one "Devastator" could be formed.
*Devastator was in an early draft of ''[[Transformers: The Reign of Starscream|The Reign of Starscream]]'', but was dropped at Hasbro's request.<ref>[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/members/mowry-73165.html#vmessage167559 Mowry's profile at TFW2005.com]</ref>

:''Devastator is a [[Decepticon]] [[Constructicon (ROTF)|Constructicon]] [[combiner]] from the [[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (franchise)|Revenge of the Fallen]] portion of the [[live-action film series]] [[continuity family]].''
[[File:ROTF_Devastator_promo.jpg|thumb|400px|[[City of Steel (episode)|King Kong]] ain't got nothin' on me!]]

Whether he's formed from six, seven, eight, or even nine [[Constructicon (ROTF)|Constructicons]], '''Devastator''' is a giant among giants. He is in fact so huge that his body simply cannot support itself when carrying his weight upright, forcing him to lumber on all fours.

Devastator is a tormented being, his very formation wracking his component Constructicons with pain and stressing them to the breaking point both physically and mentally. The imperfect fusion process produces a mind that's very much less than the sum of its parts; rage and pain are all he knows, pushing aside whatever intelligence he might possess. Devastator relies on almost pure instinct in battle.

Devastator is named after [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron's]] unwithstandable and terrifyingly destructive [[Devastator Winds]], due to his intimidating strength. Devastator can also create powerful gravity wells by generating an artificial [[black hole]] with his [[Vortex Grinder]], located in his mouth.<ref>Devastator's [http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/en_US/discover/Battle-Bios.cfm Battle Bio] at Hasbro.com</ref> Nearby objects are drawn into his gaping mouth to be crushed.

Devastator is made up of:
*[[Scavenger (ROTF)|Scavenger]] (torso)
*[[Hightower (ROTF)|Hightower]] (left arm)
*[[Long Haul (ROTF)|Long Haul]] (right leg)
*[[Mixmaster (ROTF)|Mixmaster]] (head)
*[[Rampage (ROTF)|Rampage]] (left leg/foot) (more likely to be foot because of the yellow dump truck)
*[[Scrapper (ROTF)|Scrapper]] (right arm)
;Sometimes omitted
*[[Overload (ROTF)|Overload]] (lower waist)
*[[Unknown Constructicon dump truck|Yellow dump truck]] (left leg)
*[[Unknown Constructicon shovel|Second bulldozer]] (left hand)

[[File:Devastator-ROTFvsLeoSpitz.jpg|thumb|left|300px|He's like a giant puppy! Who wants to eat you.]]

Upon arrival in [[Egypt]], the Constructicons that made up Devastator combined and attacked [[Leo Spitz]], [[Seymour Simmons]], [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]], and [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]]. It rampaged through the construction facility, sucking up anything not anchored down, such as sand, cars, and Mudflap. Despite the powerful vacuum, Mudflap held out for a while before being sucked further in. Seeking vengeance, Skids clambered up Devastator for revenge. However, Mudflap had survived, and he blasted a hole through the giant Decepticon's eye to climb out before further attacking the combiner and slowing it down.

[[File:ROTF Devastator death.jpg|thumb|275px|Hi ho, hi ho-HOLY SLAG!]]
[[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] yelled Devastator's name from atop the [[Great Pyramid of Giza]] to end the twins' distraction. Devastator clambered out of the construction pit and grappled his way to the peak of the pyramid, where he used his vortex grinder to suck up the stones that hid the [[Star Harvester|star harvester]] inside. By this point, Simmons had made his way to the pyramid, and he radioed a nearby navy ship to fire its experimental [[rail gun]], which had been developed based on studies of Megatron during his captivity at [[Hoover Dam]]. The gun's projectile hit Devastator, blasting off an arm and the lower half of his leg, making him lose his balance, causing him to shatter into many pieces as his body tumbled down the pyramid. {{storylink|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen}}

The Decepticons recovered Devastator's remains, and brought them to the peaks of [[British Columbia]], [[Canada]], so that the behemoth could be repaired by a squad under the watchful optics of [[Skywarp (Movie)|Skywarp]]. Hiding the construction site with a dense, artificially-generated cloudbank, the Decepticons proceeded with repairs until the unfortunate Autobot [[Stratosphere]] stumbled across their location while on a routine patrol in the area. The partially functional Devastator lashed out at the airborne Autobot, smashing off one of his wings and causing him to crash. Stratosphere survived the hit and fought his way past Skywarp to co-opt the Decepticons' communications array, using it to call in an air-strike on Devastator's position. Stratosphere and his fellow Autobots wondered if Devastator could have survived the massive blast that followed, but they decided not to wait around to find out. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.14|Head in the Clouds}}

After the Autobots defeated Megatron and [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]], the Decepticons' ultimate weapon, Devastator, was unleashed upon [[Cairo]]. [[William Lennox|Major Lennox]]'s [[NEST]] forces as well as the local military were unable to hold back the titanic Decepticon, and were relegated to a supporting role once the Autobots arrived in the city. However, NEST helicopters provided invaluable assistance by laser-painting critical weapons subsystems for the Autobots to attack, such as his back-mounted missile launchers, his hip-mounted cannons and his arm-mounted guns, before they could attack his head-mounted armored node. Once the node was breached, Devastator collapsed in the streets of Cairo. {{Storylink|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (Xbox 360/PS3/PC)}}

*'''Constructicon Devastator''' (Legends multi-pack, [[2009]])
:Like the on-screen combiner, but unlike the Supreme Class Devastator toy, the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Legends Class Devastator comprises seven Constructicons, including the elusive [[Overload (ROTF)|Overload]], each with individual robot modes. Because of this, he is a lot more complex than the Supreme class toy, with a more "layered" look than his movie counterpart had. Devastator is (roughly) Deluxe sized while standing up. The only real drawback he has is that he almost has no articulation. But hey, you can't have everything, right?

:In [[Hasbro]]'s markets, this Devastator set was available as a [[Walmart]] [[exclusive]] in North America, an Argos exclusive in the UK and a Farmers exclusive in New Zealand, packaged in a currently-unique clear box in gestalt mode. A huge two-sided instruction sheet explains transformation in both directions from gestalt to vehicles and vehicles to robots, with the curious note that "Some poses may require hand support".

:In [[Japan]], the Constructicon team members were available individually. Unlike the usual EZ collection toys, the Constructicons are not blind packed but packed in much the same way as Hasbro's Legends class releases.

*'''Constructicon Devastator''' (2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RD-16'''
:''Revenge of the Fallen'' Supreme Class Devastator is formed from the combination of six transforming construction vehicle toys that do not have individual robot modes. Unlike [[Duocon|prior]] [[Optimus Prime (Armada)/toys#Energon|cases]] of this format, Devastator's vehicles represent separate Transformers, [[Scavenger (ROTF)|and]] [[Rampage (ROTF)|most]] [[Long Haul (ROTF)|of]] [[Mixmaster (ROTF)|them]] have other non-combiner toys that ''do'' have robot modes.

:Despite the figure's complex appearance (from the front anyway), the limbs' transformations into combined mode are rather simple. Fortunately, this makes him a lot easier to muck with than some of the other larger-scale ''Revenge of the Fallen'' toys. This is good, because Devastator is ENORMOUS. His smallest limbs (his legs) are the size of Deluxe-class toys, and his largest components are bigger than Leader-class toys. While the legs can not be swapped (unless for some reason you want a backwards walking Devastator), the arms can be swapped around. The pegs meant to plug Rampage and Long Haul into Devastator's hips also fit snugly into the sockets meant for connecting Scrapper and Hightower to Scavenger... if you're inclined to have a random arm connected to a stray leg with no body in between, or a vehicle mode about as useful as a poorly matched [[Micromaster Combiner]] pair.

:The toy's electronics are all in the Mixmaster component. Pressing the button makes Devastator's mouth open and activates voice clips and engine sounds, as well as green lights in his mouth and eyes. Pressing the button for a few seconds activates his "Vortex grinder". However, the button trigger is so sensitive that he ''never shuts up''. In Devastator mode, his mouth can be locked into the open position by clicking his lower jaw sections into the large tank treads that form his shoulders. His mouth is enormous, and it lights up all pretty and green. He can easily swallow any Legends Class toy and spit it out the other side by opening up the back of his head. Covering Devastator's head when separating him from the torso and turning him back into Mixmaster's vehicle mode activates the transformation noise, and after that somehow makes engine stalling noises without pulling the trigger.

:Sadly, Devastator has a hard time standing on all four of his limbs, and is most stable standing on his hind legs. This is mainly because the most weight is located in the head, and his fingers are not made to hold that weight. He will also look straight to the ground unless you lock his head in place with the lower jaw.

:The Japanese [[TakaraTomy]] release of this figure has extra paint applications on Devastator's face, for a better resemblance to the final CG model.

His limbs have limited swivel articulation and do not detach into separate vehicles. He has a distinctly more humanoid stature than normal.

:Unlike regular [[Power Bots]], and unlike other portrayals of the character in general, Devastator features a transformation! It consists of putting his arms up and laying him flat on his stomach, which lets him roll around using the wheels on his limbs.

:Pressing down the Decepticon shield on his crotch (!) spins the vortex in his chest, lights up his eyes and makes him utter one of many Welker-recorded phrases, including [[The Transformers: The Movie|"Prepare for extermination!"]], "Crush Autobots!" and "I am Devastator!" Pressing on the crane of his excavator arm makes a cannon blast sound effect, while pressing the cab of his loader arm turns the scoop into claws.

:A [[Toys"R"Us]]-exclusive Generation 1-themed redeco of Legends Devastator and his components was released in the 2010 ''Transformers'' toyline. Unlike Takara's go at the same idea, this Devastator only uses purple for the Constructicons' windshields, and as a result is mostly lime green and gray. The seven individual Constructicons also have brown [[paint operation]]s on and around their wheels to simulate dirt.

Additionally, he has the entirely gray face of Devastator's concept design, rather than the primarily red one from the film itself.

==Notes==
{{quote|[[Steven Spielberg|Spielberg]] saw [Devastator] and said, 'This is [expletive] awesome!' It's always nice when you can make him swear.|[[Michael Bay]]|"[http://www.usatoday.com/life/movies/news/2009-04-01-transformers-first-look_N.htm First look: Robo-brawlers big, small in new 'Transformers']" in ''USA Today'' ([[April 3]], [[2009]])}}

[[File:ROTF Devastator and components concept art.jpg|thumb|250px|"Six?! What happened to seven?!" "Just kidding."]]
*Technically, Devastator stands at 100 feet tall, as illustrated in the film's official scale chart. However, he's so top-heavy that it is only possible for him to rise to 45 feet. This makes him about twice as tall Optimus Prime and on a roughly equal level to [[Grimlock (AOE)|Grimlock]], although he far surpasses either of them in bulk.
*In the film, none of Devastator's components are shown as individual Transformers. This might vaguely justify why the components of his Supreme class toy lack individual robot modes.
*Devastator's final CGI head differed from that used for his promotional images, including more red panels and several pulleys and wires, four highly pronounced horns, and a trio of throat gears lit like a furnace instead of a single complex vortex machine lit green like his eyes.
*In the film, there are ''nine'' vehicles that form Devastator! A [[Unknown Constructicon shovel|yellow bulldozer]] is seen unfolding and is then scooped up by Devastator's left arm, which has been formed by Hightower. Another [[Unknown Constructicon dump truck|yellow dump truck]] lines up next to Rampage and helps him form the leg. This means two things: It explains why Devastator's left arm has scoops on it while Hightower's vehicle mode has no such equipment, and also why none of the Devastator toys are movie-accurate.
**In the [[Hasbro_Q%26A/December_2009:_Answers|December 2009 Q&A]] Hasbro stated that there are seven Constructicons that form Devastator. [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]] explained that Devastator can be formed by any number from six to nine.<ref>[[Transformers Comic issue 2.13#Law and Disorder|Transformers Comic issue 2.13, Law and Disorder]]</ref> [[Vector Sigma]]'s online [[Datatrax|Data Tracks]] revealed that Devastator's composition is not set. Devastator is simply bigger the more Constructicons unite.<ref>[http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/en_US/discover/cybertronian-database.cfm#/glossary/constructicon Vector Sigma's online glossary]</ref>
*Devastator is made up of 52,632 geometric pieces and 11,716,127 polygons. The total length of all the pieces is 13.84 miles. <ref>Robertson, Barbara (2009). Weighty Matters. Computer Graphics World, 32(7), 20-29</ref>
*Devastator is made up of 6467 total textures, taking up 32 gigabytes of computer space. <ref>Robertson, Barbara (2009). Weighty Matters. Computer Graphics World, 32(7), 20-29</ref>
*When Devastator punches the pyramid, its hand is traveling at 390 miles per hour. <ref>Robertson, Barbara (2009). Weighty Matters. Computer Graphics World, 32(7), 20-29</ref>
[[File:Devastator-ROTFenemyscrotum.jpg|thumb|250px|NSFW]]
*Devastator's got [[Humanization#Nuts.2C_bolts.2C_and_screws|brass balls]]. Exactly ''how'' is pretty questionable; even the crane Hightower would only have one wrecking ball as a counterweight meaning this was just another cheap, throw-away gag. When Hasbro was asked if there ever will be a Devastator toy with wrecking balls, they replied straight out "no".
**The Devastator Showdown track set does, however, feature one wrecking ball that chases cars down the track. Hmmm.
*According to [[Shawn Kelly]], the [[Industrial Light & Magic|ILM]] lead animator for ''Revenge of the Fallen'', Devastator caused a computer to catch fire spontaneously and its insides to melt. <ref>''Nickelodeon Magazine'', issue 153, published June 2009</ref> One assumes he was exaggerating for the purposes of publicity, as it is improbable for modern computers to actually catch fire under operations for which they are designed, such as rendering an extremely complex model. The special features on the DVD do (indirectly) show one of the computers blowing, with lots of black smoke and the poor animator (and his keyboard) covered in soot. (This was all done as a prank, leading to said animator asking "What the hell, man?") Not quite melting, but still.
*Interestingly, despite the supreme class toy being formed from vehicles similar to his [[Devastator (G1)|''Generation 1'' counterpart]] (dump truck, bulldozer, front end loader, crane, excavator, mixing truck), none of them form the same component in both versions.
*In [[Transformers Generations 2009]], volume 3, a very early Devastator mock-up is pictured that places more emphasis on height than width (being rather creepily lanky) and includes among other things, a [[Blackout (Movie)|Sikorsky]] helicopter as a component. It was [[customizing|customized]] from various figures from other lines, including some from Spawn and Kamen Rider.
*Massive Black's concept art is totally different from the film version: a red mining truck forms the torso, an excavator and timber harvester form the arms, and the legs are formed by a military plow and bulldozer. The resulting robot is human in posture.<ref>[http://www.kempart.com/CAPOST/CApost4rt/Devastator01.jpg]</ref>
*Devastator has a [[tongue]], which is cool and disturbing-looking at the same time.
*According to a [[catalog]] included with ROTF toys, the ONLY way for the Autobots to defeat Devastator is by combining Optimus Prime and Jetfire.
*Given that the film establishes multiple sets of Constructicons, it seems entirely possible that more than one "Devastator" could be formed.
*Devastator was in an early draft of ''[[Transformers: The Reign of Starscream|The Reign of Starscream]]'', but was dropped at Hasbro's request.<ref>[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/members/mowry-73165.html#vmessage167559 Mowry's profile at TFW2005.com]</ref>

:''Devastator is a [[Decepticon]] [[Constructicon (ROTF)|Constructicon]] [[combiner]] from the [[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (franchise)|Revenge of the Fallen]] portion of the [[live-action film series]] [[continuity family]].''
[[File:ROTF_Devastator_promo.jpg|thumb|400px|[[City of Steel (episode)|King Kong]] ain't got nothin' on me!]]

Whether he's formed from six, seven, eight, or even nine [[Constructicon (ROTF)|Constructicons]], '''Devastator''' is a giant among giants. He is in fact so huge that his body simply cannot support itself when carrying his weight upright, forcing him to lumber on all fours.

Devastator is a tormented being, his very formation wracking his component Constructicons with pain and stressing them to the breaking point both physically and mentally. The imperfect fusion process produces a mind that's very much less than the sum of its parts; rage and pain are all he knows, pushing aside whatever intelligence he might possess. Devastator relies on almost pure instinct in battle.

Devastator is named after [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron's]] unwithstandable and terrifyingly destructive [[Devastator Winds]], due to his intimidating strength. Devastator can also create powerful gravity wells by generating an artificial [[black hole]] with his [[Vortex Grinder]], located in his mouth.<ref>Devastator's [http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/en_US/discover/Battle-Bios.cfm Battle Bio] at Hasbro.com</ref> Nearby objects are drawn into his gaping mouth to be crushed.

Devastator is made up of:
*[[Scavenger (ROTF)|Scavenger]] (torso)
*[[Hightower (ROTF)|Hightower]] (left arm)
*[[Long Haul (ROTF)|Long Haul]] (right leg)
*[[Mixmaster (ROTF)|Mixmaster]] (head)
*[[Rampage (ROTF)|Rampage]] (left leg/foot) (more likely to be foot because of the yellow dump truck)
*[[Scrapper (ROTF)|Scrapper]] (right arm)
;Sometimes omitted
*[[Overload (ROTF)|Overload]] (lower waist)
*[[Unknown Constructicon dump truck|Yellow dump truck]] (left leg)
*[[Unknown Constructicon shovel|Second bulldozer]] (left hand)
;Other configurations
*[[Demolishor (ROTF)|Demolishor]] (stand-in for Scavenger)

[[File:Devastator-ROTFvsLeoSpitz.jpg|thumb|left|300px|He's like a giant puppy! Who wants to eat you.]]

Upon arrival in [[Egypt]], the Constructicons that made up Devastator combined and attacked [[Leo Spitz]], [[Seymour Simmons]], [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]], and [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]]. It rampaged through the construction facility, sucking up anything not anchored down, such as sand, cars, and Mudflap. Despite the powerful vacuum, Mudflap held out for a while before being sucked further in. Seeking vengeance, Skids clambered up Devastator for revenge. However, Mudflap had survived, and he blasted a hole through the giant Decepticon's eye to climb out before further attacking the combiner and slowing it down.

[[File:ROTF Devastator death.jpg|thumb|275px|Hi ho, hi ho-HOLY SLAG!]]
[[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] yelled Devastator's name from atop the [[Great Pyramid of Giza]] to end the twins' distraction. Devastator clambered out of the construction pit and grappled his way to the peak of the pyramid, where he used his vortex grinder to suck up the stones that hid the [[Star Harvester|star harvester]] inside. By this point, Simmons had made his way to the pyramid, and he radioed a nearby navy ship to fire its experimental [[rail gun]], which had been developed based on studies of Megatron during his captivity at [[Hoover Dam]]. The gun's projectile hit Devastator, blasting off an arm and the lower half of his leg, making him lose his balance, causing him to shatter into many pieces as his body tumbled down the pyramid. {{storylink|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen}}

{{note|Devastator's involvement in the preceding events, or events mostly similar, were also chronicled in the novels ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (novel)|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen]]'', ''[[Revenge of the Fallen: The Junior Novel]]'' and ''[[The Last Prime]]''; the comic mini-series ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Official Movie Adaptation]]''; and the storybooks "[[I Am Optimus Prime (ROTF)|I Am Optimus Prime]]", "[[Rise of the Decepticons]]", "[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Electronic Voice Changer]]" and "[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Mix & Match]]".}}

The Decepticons recovered Devastator's remains, and brought them to the peaks of [[British Columbia]], [[Canada]], so that the behemoth could be repaired by a squad under the watchful optics of [[Skywarp (Movie)|Skywarp]]. Hiding the construction site with a dense, artificially-generated cloudbank, the Decepticons proceeded with repairs until the unfortunate Autobot [[Stratosphere]] stumbled across their location while on a routine patrol in the area. The partially functional Devastator lashed out at the airborne Autobot, smashing off one of his wings and causing him to crash. Stratosphere survived the hit and fought his way past Skywarp to co-opt the Decepticons' communications array, using it to call in an air-strike on Devastator's position. Stratosphere and his fellow Autobots wondered if Devastator could have survived the massive blast that followed, but they decided not to wait around to find out. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.14|Head in the Clouds}}

After the Autobots defeated Megatron and [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]], the Decepticons' ultimate weapon, Devastator, was unleashed upon [[Cairo]]. [[William Lennox|Major Lennox]]'s [[NEST]] forces as well as the local military were unable to hold back the titanic Decepticon, and were relegated to a supporting role once the Autobots arrived in the city. However, NEST helicopters provided invaluable assistance by laser-painting critical weapons subsystems for the Autobots to attack, such as his back-mounted missile launchers, his hip-mounted cannons and his arm-mounted guns, before they could attack his head-mounted armored node. Once the node was breached, Devastator collapsed in the streets of Cairo. {{Storylink|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (Xbox 360/PS3/PC)}}

*'''Constructicon Devastator''' (Legends multi-pack, [[2009]])
:Like the on-screen combiner, but unlike the Supreme Class Devastator toy, the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Legends Class Devastator comprises seven Constructicons, including the elusive [[Overload (ROTF)|Overload]], each with individual robot modes. Because of this, he is a lot more complex than the Supreme class toy, with a more "layered" look than his movie counterpart had. Devastator is (roughly) Deluxe sized while standing up. The only real drawback he has is that he almost has no articulation. But hey, you can't have everything, right?

:In [[Hasbro]]'s markets, this Devastator set was available as a [[Walmart]] [[exclusive]] in North America, an Argos exclusive in the UK and a Farmers exclusive in New Zealand, packaged in a currently-unique clear box in gestalt mode. A huge two-sided instruction sheet explains transformation in both directions from gestalt to vehicles and vehicles to robots, with the curious note that "Some poses may require hand support".

:In [[Japan]], the Constructicon team members were available individually. Unlike the usual EZ collection toys, the Constructicons are not blind packed but packed in much the same way as Hasbro's Legends class releases.

*'''Constructicon Devastator''' (2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RD-16'''
:''Revenge of the Fallen'' Supreme Class Devastator is formed from the combination of six transforming construction vehicle toys that do not have individual robot modes. Unlike [[Duocon|prior]] [[Optimus Prime (Armada)/toys#Energon|cases]] of this format, Devastator's vehicles represent separate Transformers, [[Scavenger (ROTF)|and]] [[Rampage (ROTF)|most]] [[Long Haul (ROTF)|of]] [[Mixmaster (ROTF)|them]] have other non-combiner toys that ''do'' have robot modes.

:Despite the figure's complex appearance (from the front anyway), the limbs' transformations into combined mode are rather simple. Fortunately, this makes him a lot easier to muck with than some of the other larger-scale ''Revenge of the Fallen'' toys. This is good, because Devastator is ENORMOUS. His smallest limbs (his legs) are the size of Deluxe-class toys, and his largest components are bigger than Leader-class toys. While the legs can not be swapped (unless for some reason you want a backwards walking Devastator), the arms can be swapped around. The pegs meant to plug Rampage and Long Haul into Devastator's hips also fit snugly into the sockets meant for connecting Scrapper and Hightower to Scavenger... if you're inclined to have a random arm connected to a stray leg with no body in between, or a vehicle mode about as useful as a poorly matched [[Micromaster Combiner]] pair.

:The toy's electronics are all in the Mixmaster component. Pressing the button makes Devastator's mouth open and activates voice clips and engine sounds, as well as green lights in his mouth and eyes. Pressing the button for a few seconds activates his "Vortex grinder". However, the button trigger is so sensitive that he ''never shuts up''. In Devastator mode, his mouth can be locked into the open position by clicking his lower jaw sections into the large tank treads that form his shoulders. His mouth is enormous, and it lights up all pretty and green. He can easily swallow any Legends Class toy and spit it out the other side by opening up the back of his head. Covering Devastator's head when separating him from the torso and turning him back into Mixmaster's vehicle mode activates the transformation noise, and after that somehow makes engine stalling noises without pulling the trigger.

:Sadly, Devastator has a hard time standing on all four of his limbs, and is most stable standing on his hind legs. This is mainly because the most weight is located in the head, and his fingers are not made to hold that weight. He will also look straight to the ground unless you lock his head in place with the lower jaw.

:The Japanese [[TakaraTomy]] release of this figure has extra paint applications on Devastator's face, for a better resemblance to the final CG model.

====Mega Power Bots====
[[File:ROTF MegaPowerBots Devastator.jpg|300px|thumb|Not a Power Rangers Megazord.]]
*'''Constructicon Devastator''' (2009)
:''Revenge of the Fallen'' [[Power Bots|Mega Power Bots]] Devastator is a simple toy for younger children, featuring plenty of playing sounds and flashing lights. His limbs have limited swivel articulation and do not detach into separate vehicles. He has a distinctly more humanoid stature than normal.

:Unlike regular [[Power Bots]], and unlike other portrayals of the character in general, Devastator features a transformation! It consists of putting his arms up and laying him flat on his stomach, which lets him roll around using the wheels on his limbs.

:Pressing down the Decepticon shield on his crotch (!) spins the vortex in his chest, lights up his eyes and makes him utter one of many Welker-recorded phrases, including [[The Transformers: The Movie|"Prepare for extermination!"]], "Crush Autobots!" and "I am Devastator!" Pressing on the crane of his excavator arm makes a cannon blast sound effect, while pressing the cab of his loader arm turns the scoop into claws.

:Released to commemorate the 10th anniversary of ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'', ''[[Studio Series]]'' Devastator consists of eight (yes, eight) Constructicons to combine into one mechanical four-legged giant.

:Despite the ''Studio Series'' line's focus on screen-accuracy, Devastator once again omits the yellow dump truck Constructicon, and replaces the second bulldozer who forms Devastator's hand in the film with [[Scrapmetal (ROTF)|Scrapmetal]] (who died before Devastator was formed on-screen). Additionally, he has the entirely gray face of Devastator's concept design, rather than the primarily red one from the film itself.

*'''Constructin' Devastator''' (2009)
:Burger King Devastator consists of five parts — a head and body, and simplified versions of the vehicle modes for Long Haul, Scrapper, Rampage and Hightower, which connect to the torso on [[ball joint]]s. The generic connectors mean that they can be attached in any configuration, however the intended layout is marked with letters from A to D. The ball joints are loose enough to allow limited articulation.

:The Devastator Showdown track set is a [[retool]] of the ''Indiana Jones'' race track. This playset is compatible with the other Hot Wheels-like miniature cars. It fires the car on a track to an area that (when a car goes over it) releases a "wrecking ball" and the Devastator head lights up and makes sounds. The wrecking ball will follow the car down the track until the tracks stop.

:Yes, that means he fires his testicles at you.

==Notes==
{{quote|[[Steven Spielberg|Spielberg]] saw [Devastator] and said, 'This is [expletive] awesome!' It's always nice when you can make him swear.|[[Michael Bay]]|"[http://www.usatoday.com/life/movies/news/2009-04-01-transformers-first-look_N.htm First look: Robo-brawlers big, small in new 'Transformers']" in ''USA Today'' ([[April 3]], [[2009]])}}

[[File:ROTF Devastator and components concept art.jpg|thumb|250px|"Six?! What happened to seven?!" "Just kidding."]]
*Technically, Devastator stands at 100 feet tall, as illustrated in the film's official scale chart. However, he's so top-heavy that it is only possible for him to rise to 45 feet. This makes him about twice as tall Optimus Prime and on a roughly equal level to [[Grimlock (AOE)|Grimlock]], although he far surpasses either of them in bulk.
*In the film, none of Devastator's components are shown as individual Transformers. This might vaguely justify why the components of his Supreme class toy lack individual robot modes.
*Devastator's final CGI head differed from that used for his promotional images, including more red panels and several pulleys and wires, four highly pronounced horns, and a trio of throat gears lit like a furnace instead of a single complex vortex machine lit green like his eyes.
*In the film, there are ''nine'' vehicles that form Devastator! A [[Unknown Constructicon shovel|yellow bulldozer]] is seen unfolding and is then scooped up by Devastator's left arm, which has been formed by Hightower. Another [[Unknown Constructicon dump truck|yellow dump truck]] lines up next to Rampage and helps him form the leg. This means two things: It explains why Devastator's left arm has scoops on it while Hightower's vehicle mode has no such equipment, and also why none of the Devastator toys are movie-accurate.
**In the [[Hasbro_Q%26A/December_2009:_Answers|December 2009 Q&A]] Hasbro stated that there are seven Constructicons that form Devastator. [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]] explained that Devastator can be formed by any number from six to nine.<ref>[[Transformers Comic issue 2.13#Law and Disorder|Transformers Comic issue 2.13, Law and Disorder]]</ref> [[Vector Sigma]]'s online [[Datatrax|Data Tracks]] revealed that Devastator's composition is not set. Devastator is simply bigger the more Constructicons unite.<ref>[http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/en_US/discover/cybertronian-database.cfm#/glossary/constructicon Vector Sigma's online glossary]</ref>
*Devastator is made up of 52,632 geometric pieces and 11,716,127 polygons. The total length of all the pieces is 13.84 miles. <ref>Robertson, Barbara (2009). Weighty Matters. Computer Graphics World, 32(7), 20-29</ref>
*Devastator is made up of 6467 total textures, taking up 32 gigabytes of computer space. <ref>Robertson, Barbara (2009). Weighty Matters. Computer Graphics World, 32(7), 20-29</ref>
*When Devastator punches the pyramid, its hand is traveling at 390 miles per hour. <ref>Robertson, Barbara (2009). Weighty Matters. Computer Graphics World, 32(7), 20-29</ref>
[[File:Devastator-ROTFenemyscrotum.jpg|thumb|250px|NSFW]]
*Devastator's got [[Humanization#Nuts.2C_bolts.2C_and_screws|brass balls]]. Exactly ''how'' is pretty questionable; even the crane Hightower would only have one wrecking ball as a counterweight meaning this was just another cheap, throw-away gag. When Hasbro was asked if there ever will be a Devastator toy with wrecking balls, they replied straight out "no".
**The Devastator Showdown track set does, however, feature one wrecking ball that chases cars down the track. Hmmm.
*According to [[Shawn Kelly]], the [[Industrial Light & Magic|ILM]] lead animator for ''Revenge of the Fallen'', Devastator caused a computer to catch fire spontaneously and its insides to melt. <ref>''Nickelodeon Magazine'', issue 153, published June 2009</ref> One assumes he was exaggerating for the purposes of publicity, as it is improbable for modern computers to actually catch fire under operations for which they are designed, such as rendering an extremely complex model. The special features on the DVD do (indirectly) show one of the computers blowing, with lots of black smoke and the poor animator (and his keyboard) covered in soot. (This was all done as a prank, leading to said animator asking "What the hell, man?") Not quite melting, but still.
*Interestingly, despite the supreme class toy being formed from vehicles similar to his [[Devastator (G1)|''Generation 1'' counterpart]] (dump truck, bulldozer, front end loader, crane, excavator, mixing truck), none of them form the same component in both versions.
*In [[Transformers Generations 2009]], volume 3, a very early Devastator mock-up is pictured that places more emphasis on height than width (being rather creepily lanky) and includes among other things, a [[Blackout (Movie)|Sikorsky]] helicopter as a component. It was [[customizing|customized]] from various figures from other lines, including some from Spawn and Kamen Rider.
*Massive Black's concept art is totally different from the film version: a red mining truck forms the torso, an excavator and timber harvester form the arms, and the legs are formed by a military plow and bulldozer. The resulting robot is human in posture.<ref>[http://www.kempart.com/CAPOST/CApost4rt/Devastator01.jpg]</ref>
*Devastator has a [[tongue]], which is cool and disturbing-looking at the same time.
*According to a [[catalog]] included with ROTF toys, the ONLY way for the Autobots to defeat Devastator is by combining Optimus Prime and Jetfire.
*Given that the film establishes multiple sets of Constructicons, it seems entirely possible that more than one "Devastator" could be formed.
*Devastator was in an early draft of ''[[Transformers: The Reign of Starscream|The Reign of Starscream]]'', but was dropped at Hasbro's request.<ref>[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/members/mowry-73165.html#vmessage167559 Mowry's profile at TFW2005.com]</ref>

:''Ro-Tor is a [[Decepticon]] [[Commando (RID)|Commando]] originally from the [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 franchise)|2001 Robots in Disguise]] [[continuity family]].''

[[File:Ro-TorRID01.jpg|right|upright=1.4|thumb|"The samurai of sincerity!"]]
Sneering from his place in the sky, '''Ro-Tor''' literally and figuratively looks down on everyone else. Smarmy and arrogant, he enjoys sniping at the largely ground-based [[Autobot]]s with both words and plasma fire. Capable of near-silent flight and incredible maneuverability, he loves a good sneak attack. In robot mode, he can use both rotor blades as deadly cutting weapons; the rotor on his back detaches to become a massive ''shuriken'', while the attached blade on his right arm gives him an extra edge in up-close melee combat. He forms half of the Decepticon [[Commando (RID)|Commandos]]' air force, though he'd probably say he's the only ''good'' part of it... a position the ground forces are quite likely to agree with.

In his downtimes, he enjoys taking a nice, hot, open-air bath with a good view.

[[File:Commandos Movor RoTor firing.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.1]]

Ro-Tor was originally one of a group of Autobots led by [[Scourge (RID)|Scourge]], who traveled to [[Earth]] in a [[protoform]] state. Their ship crashed, and years later was dug up by a group of [[Predacon (RID)|Predacon]]s under [[Megatron (RID)|Megatron]]'s leadership. Taken to [[McKinley Army Base]], the Predacons scanned army vehicles as Megatron infused them with his spark energy. [[Dark Scream]] had Ro-Tor's protoform scan a helicopter, to give their forces some air support. Though the newly born-Decepticons were ready to fight, Megatron ordered them to retreat so they could re-power. {{storylink|The Decepticons}} The new troops' first mission was to destroy a dam, allowing Ro-Tor to utilise his sting blades. They planted [[pulsar bomb]]s on [[Sherman Dam]], however when [[Sky-Byte (RID)|Sky-Byte]] took control of the bombs, preventing them from firing, the ground-based Commandos blasted a hole in the dam and ended up grappling with the freed [[Autobot Brothers]]. Ro-Tor and [[Movor]] attempted to provide air support, but were attacked by the newly arrived [[Team Bullet Train]]. When the trains formed [[Rail Racer (RID)|Rail Racer]], the Commandos responded by forming [[Ruination (RID)|Ruination]], however the combined power of the Autobots was too much for them and they were forced to retreat. {{storylink|Commandos}}

The Commandos unsuccessfully fought against the [[Spy Changer]]s on [[Montrose Island]] {{storylink|Volcano (episode)|Volcano}} after which they substituted Movor for a real space shuttle, shooting the Decepticon into orbit so he could try to find the Autobots' secret base. Although Ro-Tor was pleased at the brilliance of the plan, they had little success. Eventually Movor sent the Commandos to [[Pier 7B]], where the Autobots sprung a trap. Things went downhill from there. {{storylink|Attack from Outer Space}}

[[File:TheTest Rollbar RoTor sweeping.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.1|Toy accurate and helpful around the house!]]
The next cunning plan was to try to make the Autobots think that the Decepticons were defecting. The Autobot Brothers tested them by forcing them to do various menial tasks, which they threw themselves into in an attempt to lull the Autobots into a false sense of security. Ro-Tor went along with the plan, announcing happily he could sweep the forest all day long, and that beautifying [[Metro City]] was hugely rewarding. His efforts were all for naught, as Scourge lost his temper at the last minute, giving the game away and resulting in [[Optimus Prime (RID)|Optimus Prime]] chasing the Decepticons off. {{storylink|The Test (episode)|The Test}} The Decepticons later interrupted one of Sky-Byte's plans, and Ro-Tor was able to snatch a disk which appeared to be a map to the [[Global Space Bridge]] system. Unfortunately when they used it, it turned out to be a map of the local ''sewer'' system, and the Decepticons found themselves on the business end of Optimus's blizzard storm. {{storylink|Wedge's Short Fuse}}

When once again, [[X-Brawn]] slipped through the Decepticons' fingers using the Global Space Bridge, Ro-Tor was able to track [[Grimlock (RID 2001)|Grimlock]], one of the [[Build Team (RID)|Build Team]], to the space bridge control center. The Decepticons broke into the center and Scourge sabotaged it to send the Autobots to random locations. Soon Ro-Tor was trashing a rail bridge somewhere Metro City, in an attempt to lure the Autobots into using the space bridge. It wasn't long before the Build Team realised what had happened, defeated the Commandos and repaired the space bridge. {{storylink|Landfill (episode)|Landfill}} Later the Decepticons attempted to intercept Optimus Prime, who they believed was taking the [[O-Part]]s to Sky-Byte, however even combining into Ruination didn't help them and the Autobot leader was barely slowed down. {{storylink|Sky-Byte Saves the Day}}

[[File:TestOfMetal Heavyload slams RoTor.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.1|This happens in lots of anime, but the offending chest is usually much softer.]]
After their raid on the [[East Power Station]] was foiled by the Build Team, the Commandos resolved to get their revenge on the Autobots. To this end, they started attacking construction sites in an attempt to goad the Build Team into fighting them. Eventually they drew the Build Team out and engaged them in combat. [[Heavy Load (RID)|Heavy Load]] was able to pin Ro-Tor to the ground, however [[Mega-Octane]] took [[Wedge]] hostage, turning the battle in the Decepticons' favour. At least until Landfill led Ruination into an oil-filled cavern and ignited it, blasting the Commandos into the ocean. {{storylink|A Test of Metal}}

A later raid on an oil refinery went better—while the Autobot Brothers did turn up, they were prevented from stopping the Decepticons by the arrival of [[Ultra Magnus (RID)|Ultra Magnus]]. Still, the Decepticons only got a portion of the fuel and, at Megatron's orders, set up a trap for the Autobot Brothers. Instead they got Ultra Magnus, whose fighting skills outclassed theirs. Even forming Ruination didn't help, and the Decepticons were forced into a retreat with the arrival of Optimus Prime. {{storylink|Ultra Magnus (episode)|Ultra Magnus}} Back in the ''[[Megastar]]'', they watched the fight between Optimus and Ultra Magnus, as Movor spied on it from orbit. Though Optimus lost, he was taken by the other Autobots to an island to recuperate, and Megatron and his troops went there to finish the job. Despite the Commandos forming Ruination, they were no match for [[Omega Prime]], the combined form of Optimus and Ultra Magnus, and retreated hastily. {{storylink|Ultra Magnus: Forced Fusion!}}

[[File:PowerToBurn Movor RoTor airattack.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.1]]
During a meeting between Sky-Byte and Ultra Magnus, Ro-Tor fired a net at the Autobot Brothers, and missed. Luckily [[Rollbar (RID)|Rollbar]] was able to pick up the slack and capture the three Autobots, but you can bet Ro-Tor was hearing about it for a long while afterward. With the Autobot Brothers captive, the Decepticons and Megatron were able to inflict some punishment on Optimus and Rail Racer, who were unable to fight back. Unfortunately Ultra Magnus rescued the three brothers, and Megatron's forces were soon in retreat once again. {{storylink|The Two Faces of Ultra Magnus}} Scourge attempted to get Ultra Magnus to join him in destroying Optimus, but Magnus turned him down, resulting in the Decepticons springing a trap on the Autobot. Though [[Side Burn (RID)|Side Burn]] and [[Prowl (RID)|Prowl]] attempted to help Magnus, the renegade Autobot promptly left them to it, and they were little match for Ruination. Of course, the arrival of Optimus and return of Magnus turned things pretty firmly back in the Autobots' favour, and the Decepticons retreated once again. {{Storylink|Power to Burn!}}

Ro-Tor joined Scourge, Sky-Byte, Megatron, and the rest of the Commandos in watching archival footage of Ultra Magnus in order to get a better understanding of their newly arrived enemy. {{storylink|Mystery of the Ultra Magnus}}

More information was gleaned from the captured [[Kenneth Onishi|Doctor Onishi]]'s mind—there were strange ruins beneath Metro City which emanated powerful energy. The Decepticons set out to find the ruins and promptly ran into the Spy Changers. While [[Armorhide (RID)|Armorhide]] and Rollbar were left to take care of them, the rest of the Decepticons went on and ran into [[Railspike (RID)|Railspike]] and [[Rapid Run (RID)|Rapid Run]] in a subway tunnel. Movor and Ro-Tor stayed to keep them pinned down while Scourge and Mega-Octane continued on, however Ultra Magnus turned up and accidentally flooded the tunnel. The two Decepticons found themselves being washed away along with Team Bullet Train, eventually being flushed into the cavern containing the ruins where they were reunited with the other Decepticons. They combined into Ruination to fight the Autobots while Scourge headed for the ruins, unleashing [[Fortress Maximus (RID)|Fortress Maximus]]. {{storylink|Fortress Maximus (episode)|Fortress Maximus}} Chased off by Fortress Maximus's defense systems, the Commandos formed Ruination to keep Rail Racer busy while Scourge made a second attempt to access Maximus. {{storylink|Koji Gets His Wish}}

[[File:FriendlyContest RoTor and Movor.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.1|"Movor is such a dork he... He's behind me isn't he?"]]
With the hunt for the O-Parts on, the Decepticons confronted the Autobot Brothers and Build Team, who had found an O-Part, and demanded they hand it over. The Autobots promptly disappeared through the Global Space Bridge, starting a game of cat and mouse. The Decepticons eventually cornered them in [[Egypt]], however Sky-Byte's bungling made recovering the O-Parts impossible. {{storylink|A Friendly Contest}} Spying from space, Movor spotted the Autobots in the [[Sahara|Sahara Desert]], and Megatron and the Decepticons arrived in time to attack Side Burn. Venturing into the subterranean ruins, they found the Autobots had located the [[Orb of Sigma]], and the Decepticons fought them while Megatron went for the Orb. Ultimately they were unsuccessful and, with the loss of Megatron, the Decepticons retreated back to the ''Megastar''. {{Storylink|Peril from the Past}}

Without Megatron's leadership, the Decepticons had a lot more freedom to do what they wanted. They tracked the Autobots to an old temple, where they were able to snatch [[Cerebros (RID)|Cerebros]], the key to controlling Fortress Maximus, away with the help of the Predacons. Rollbar and Ro-Tor were able to locate Maximus himself in Metro City and, despite the Autobots attempting to defend the giant, Scourge was able to use Cerebros to activate him. The Commandos combined into Ruination during the following battle, however Scourge's lack of ability to contol Maximus and the return of Megatron as Galvatron resulted in the Decepticons retreating. {{storylink|Maximus Emerges}}

[[File:SurpriseAttack RoTor attackcopter.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.1]]
A second attempt in the desert to control Maximus, with Ruination providing backup, didn't go any better {{storylink|The Human Element}} and during a third attempt, Scourge's treachery was revealed to Galvatron. {{storylink|Mistaken Identity}} This resulted in Galvatron forcibly reprogramming all of the Decepticons to obey his will, and putting them under the command of Sky-Byte for an assault on Autobot headquarters. Pursuing the fleeing Optimus Prime, the Decepticons and Predacons were led into a trap, though the arrival of the ''Megastar'' and Fortress Maximus rendered them superfluous anyway. They watched as Maximus defeated the ''Megastar'', and Galvatron fell lifeless to the ground. {{storylink|Surprise Attack!}} Galvatron was not out, however, and the Decepticons defended him while he drained energy from Fortress Maximus. He sent Ruination and Scourge into the Global Space Bridge after the retreating Autobots, before himself flooding the tunnel with lava by rupturing the tunnel wall. {{storylink|Galvatron's Revenge}} They survived the lava, only to be swiftly defeated by the Autobot forces. After Galvatron's defeat, they were shipped off to the [[asteroid prison colony]] with Galvatron and the Predacons. {{Storylink|The Final Battle (RID)|The Final Battle}}

====''Unite Warriors''====
{{note|As this fiction takes place in a different [[continuity family]], "Hepter" will be used to refer to the character.}}
Following their capture, Hepter and the other Combatrons were brought to a future [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] and sentenced to be reverted into [[protoform]]s to cleanse them of their evil programming and, to their horror, identities. They were brought to safety by the [[Unicron]] of [[2021]], who transported them into the past and granted them new bodies in exchange for helping him attach his disembodied head to the planet's surface. During the battle with the local [[Autobot]] forces, Hepter cut through enemy ranks with his "Hepter Cross", a rotor attack that flung energy blades all over the place. Upon connecting Unicron's head to the planet, the Combatrons learned that the dark god had no intention of letting them go free, but rather planned to change this past and undo the future they hailed from! In order to avoid being erased from existence, the team combined into Baldigus and turned on Unicron. {{storylink|Baldigus Chapter, Part One}} After Unicron was defeated thanks to the efforts of Baldigus and other combiners, the Combatrons returned to the future with Black Convoy and Gelshark, seeking to rescue their leader Gigatron. {{storylink|Baldigus Chapter, Part Two}}

===''Universe'' comic===
The Ro-Tor of [[Viron 704.31 Epsilon]] came under the command of [[Megazarak (Universe)|Megazarak]] after the death of Megatron. However, the Commandos, [[Constructicon (RID)|Constructicon]]s, and [[Megabolt]] were abducted by [[Unicron]] for the [[Universe War]]. {{storylink|Ask Vector Prime#Facebook|Ask Vector Prime, 2015/07/30}}

As part of Ruination, Ro-Tor was sent by Unicron along with [[Reptilion]], [[Sunstorm (Universe)|Sunstorm]], and [[Perceptor (Armada)|Perceptor]] to intercept some extra-dimensionals Unicron wanted for the [[Cauldron]]. Ruination's group was successfully fought off by the [[Child of Primus|Children of Primus]]. {{storylink|Voice Actor Drama}}

===Ask Vector Prime===
[[Violen Jiger|Bio Ranger Iga]] selected a Viron Ruination from [[Greengard]] to be one of his [[Thirteen Great Demon Generals]]. Presumably Ro-Tor was part of this Ruination. {{storylink|Ask Vector Prime#Facebook|Ask Vector Prime, 2015/06/27}}

===''Beast Wars: Uprising''===

During the [[Grand Uprising]], Ro-Tor and his team of [[Resistance]] Commandos volunteered for augmentation into [[K-Class]] living bombs. Deemed only a last resort, the Commandos were retrofitted to transform into massively destructive weapons of annihilation, with the core bombs inside them linked to their very sparks. At maximum detonation, a K-Class could effectively end the world.

The Resistance enjoyed stellar cycles of victory that made any use of the K-Class troopers seem unrealistic. That all changed with the [[Vehicon (BM)|Vehicon]]s. These anti-spark drones assimilated other proto-formers on contact, spreading their nano-plague exponentially. Two Resistance city-states had already fallen before High Command learned of the third. Ro-Tor and three fellow Commandos ([[Rollbar (RID)|Jeepers]], [[Armorhide (RID)|Dangar]], and [[Movor]]) were selected to cauterize the infection, wiping the cities off the map before the plague spread. Movor missed his target, however, and the Vehicons of [[Protihex]] survived.

[[Lio Convoy]] marched the entire army of the Resistance on [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]], hoping to force the [[Builder Assembly]] to surrender and deactivate the Vehicons. When the Vehicons turned on their masters and began assimilating Builders as well, however, any hope of stopping the [[Vehicon Apocalypse]] seemed lost. Out of options, Lio Convoy summoned Ro-Tor and prepped him for detonation, a desperate action designed to destroy the planet before the Vehicons could spread to other worlds. At a Level 10, Ro-Tor would tear a hole through the heart of Cybertron itself.

Before he could be activated, however, [[Eject (G1)|Eject]] and [[Riker]] arrived from the Builders with intel on the Vehicons and their staging ground in the [[Grand Mal]] of [[Nova Cronum]]. In defiance of a reluctant Lio Convoy, Ro-Tor insisted they take advantage of this chance, rather than allow himself to be used to destroy his homeworld. Lio Convoy was chagrined, and agreed to make for Nova Cronum with Ro-Tor and a small team at his side.

The Resistance made for the Grand Mal, with Ro-Tor joining Lio Convoy on the mission as a last resort. Furthermore, he insisted Lio Convoy reset him to Level 2, ensuring he could not be used as a world-killer anymore. A small commando unit infiltrated the fortress and separated. As Lio Convoy slipped away with Blackarachnia to confront [[Galva Convoy]], creator of the Vehicons, Ro-Tor went with [[Razorbeast]] and [[Apexus]] to cause a distraction and lure the Vehicon hordes away from their commanders. Lio Convoy defeated Galva Convoy, at great personal cost, but the wizard behind the curtain peeked out, and [[Lord Imperious Delirious]] seized control of the Grand Mal when his puppet had fallen. Blackarachnia sent the last of the commandos to carry the prone Lio Convoy to safety while she and Ro-Tor made their way towards engineering. Ro-Tor intended to use his K-Class mode to destroy the engineering section, but his sacrifice was stopped by the [[Ex-Bot]] called [[Rampage (BW)|Rampage]]. Having his own score to settle with Delirious, Rampage ripped the core bomb out of Ro-Tor and tore open his own chest, affixing the bomb to his spark. Rampage insisted on no more sacrifices, and urged Ro-Tor and Blackarachnia to the exits. Quickly. The [[Point One Percenter]] detonated the core bomb, allowing Ro-Tor to live on. {{Storylink|Derailment}}

*'''Ro-Tor''' (Basic, 2000/2001)
**''Japanese ID number'': '''D-009'''
**''Accessories'': Left & right vehicle cannons, pistol

: A [[redeco]] of the [[The Transformers (toyline)|Generation 1]] [[Vortex (G1)#Toys|Vortex]] toy, Ro-Tor transforms into a [[Wikipedia:SH-2 Seasprite|Kaman Aerospace SH-2 Seasprite helicopter]]. He has a pair of large, non-firing cannons that clip onto the back end of his copter mode, plus a pistol that becomes a nose-mounted gun. As the toy uses the "[[Scramble City (toyline)|Scramble City]]" style of connection, he can form any limb to any combination of similar robots, though naturally, he normally forms a limb to the combined robot [[Ruination (RID)#Toys|Ruination]]; as the left arm in the more-common "Flight Mission" mode, or the right leg for "Land Mission" mode.

: He was first released as part of the [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] ''Car Robots'' line in 2000 as "Hepter".

: In 2001, [[Hasbro]] released the toy as part of the ''Robots in Disguise'' series as "Ro-Tor", with a host of deco changes. The Takara Hepter's metallic blue plastic was replaced with a flatter, richer dark-blue. Ro-Tor lost Hepter's white "underbelly" paint spray, added red arrow-markings to the vehicle sides, and replaced the "Anti-Cybertron" symbol with the Decepticon emblem. Hasbro's [[stock photography]] shows red paint on the ends of the large rotor blades, but these were ultimately lacking in the final product.

: This mold was also used to make [[Target Hawk]].

:''Ro-Tor is a [[Decepticon]] [[Commando (RID)|Commando]] originally from the [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 franchise)|2001 Robots in Disguise]] [[continuity family]].''

[[File:Ro-TorRID01.jpg|right|upright=1.4|thumb|"The samurai of sincerity!"]]
Sneering from his place in the sky, '''Ro-Tor''' literally and figuratively looks down on everyone else. Smarmy and arrogant, he enjoys sniping at the largely ground-based [[Autobot]]s with both words and plasma fire. Capable of near-silent flight and incredible maneuverability, he loves a good sneak attack. In robot mode, he can use both rotor blades as deadly cutting weapons; the rotor on his back detaches to become a massive ''shuriken'', while the attached blade on his right arm gives him an extra edge in up-close melee combat. He forms half of the Decepticon [[Commando (RID)|Commandos]]' air force, though he'd probably say he's the only ''good'' part of it... a position the ground forces are quite likely to agree with.

In his downtimes, he enjoys taking a nice, hot, open-air bath with a good view.

[[File:Commandos Movor RoTor firing.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.1]]

Ro-Tor was originally one of a group of Autobots led by [[Scourge (RID)|Scourge]], who traveled to [[Earth]] in a [[protoform]] state. Their ship crashed, and years later was dug up by a group of [[Predacon (RID)|Predacon]]s under [[Megatron (RID)|Megatron]]'s leadership. Taken to [[McKinley Army Base]], the Predacons scanned army vehicles as Megatron infused them with his spark energy. [[Dark Scream]] had Ro-Tor's protoform scan a helicopter, to give their forces some air support. Though the newly born-Decepticons were ready to fight, Megatron ordered them to retreat so they could re-power. {{storylink|The Decepticons}} The new troops' first mission was to destroy a dam, allowing Ro-Tor to utilise his sting blades. They planted [[pulsar bomb]]s on [[Sherman Dam]], however when [[Sky-Byte (RID)|Sky-Byte]] took control of the bombs, preventing them from firing, the ground-based Commandos blasted a hole in the dam and ended up grappling with the freed [[Autobot Brothers]]. Ro-Tor and [[Movor]] attempted to provide air support, but were attacked by the newly arrived [[Team Bullet Train]]. When the trains formed [[Rail Racer (RID)|Rail Racer]], the Commandos responded by forming [[Ruination (RID)|Ruination]], however the combined power of the Autobots was too much for them and they were forced to retreat. {{storylink|Commandos}}

The Commandos unsuccessfully fought against the [[Spy Changer]]s on [[Montrose Island]] {{storylink|Volcano (episode)|Volcano}} after which they substituted Movor for a real space shuttle, shooting the Decepticon into orbit so he could try to find the Autobots' secret base. Although Ro-Tor was pleased at the brilliance of the plan, they had little success. Eventually Movor sent the Commandos to [[Pier 7B]], where the Autobots sprung a trap. Things went downhill from there. {{storylink|Attack from Outer Space}}

[[File:TheTest Rollbar RoTor sweeping.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.1|Toy accurate and helpful around the house!]]
The next cunning plan was to try to make the Autobots think that the Decepticons were defecting. The Autobot Brothers tested them by forcing them to do various menial tasks, which they threw themselves into in an attempt to lull the Autobots into a false sense of security. Ro-Tor went along with the plan, announcing happily he could sweep the forest all day long, and that beautifying [[Metro City]] was hugely rewarding. His efforts were all for naught, as Scourge lost his temper at the last minute, giving the game away and resulting in [[Optimus Prime (RID)|Optimus Prime]] chasing the Decepticons off. {{storylink|The Test (episode)|The Test}} The Decepticons later interrupted one of Sky-Byte's plans, and Ro-Tor was able to snatch a disk which appeared to be a map to the [[Global Space Bridge]] system. Unfortunately when they used it, it turned out to be a map of the local ''sewer'' system, and the Decepticons found themselves on the business end of Optimus's blizzard storm. {{storylink|Wedge's Short Fuse}}

When once again, [[X-Brawn]] slipped through the Decepticons' fingers using the Global Space Bridge, Ro-Tor was able to track [[Grimlock (RID 2001)|Grimlock]], one of the [[Build Team (RID)|Build Team]], to the space bridge control center. The Decepticons broke into the center and Scourge sabotaged it to send the Autobots to random locations. Soon Ro-Tor was trashing a rail bridge somewhere Metro City, in an attempt to lure the Autobots into using the space bridge. It wasn't long before the Build Team realised what had happened, defeated the Commandos and repaired the space bridge. {{storylink|Landfill (episode)|Landfill}} Later the Decepticons attempted to intercept Optimus Prime, who they believed was taking the [[O-Part]]s to Sky-Byte, however even combining into Ruination didn't help them and the Autobot leader was barely slowed down. {{storylink|Sky-Byte Saves the Day}}

[[File:TestOfMetal Heavyload slams RoTor.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.1|This happens in lots of anime, but the offending chest is usually much softer.]]
After their raid on the [[East Power Station]] was foiled by the Build Team, the Commandos resolved to get their revenge on the Autobots. To this end, they started attacking construction sites in an attempt to goad the Build Team into fighting them. Eventually they drew the Build Team out and engaged them in combat. [[Heavy Load (RID)|Heavy Load]] was able to pin Ro-Tor to the ground, however [[Mega-Octane]] took [[Wedge]] hostage, turning the battle in the Decepticons' favour. At least until Landfill led Ruination into an oil-filled cavern and ignited it, blasting the Commandos into the ocean. {{storylink|A Test of Metal}}

A later raid on an oil refinery went better—while the Autobot Brothers did turn up, they were prevented from stopping the Decepticons by the arrival of [[Ultra Magnus (RID)|Ultra Magnus]]. Still, the Decepticons only got a portion of the fuel and, at Megatron's orders, set up a trap for the Autobot Brothers. Instead they got Ultra Magnus, whose fighting skills outclassed theirs. Even forming Ruination didn't help, and the Decepticons were forced into a retreat with the arrival of Optimus Prime. {{storylink|Ultra Magnus (episode)|Ultra Magnus}} Back in the ''[[Megastar]]'', they watched the fight between Optimus and Ultra Magnus, as Movor spied on it from orbit. Though Optimus lost, he was taken by the other Autobots to an island to recuperate, and Megatron and his troops went there to finish the job. Despite the Commandos forming Ruination, they were no match for [[Omega Prime]], the combined form of Optimus and Ultra Magnus, and retreated hastily. {{storylink|Ultra Magnus: Forced Fusion!}}

[[File:PowerToBurn Movor RoTor airattack.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.1]]
During a meeting between Sky-Byte and Ultra Magnus, Ro-Tor fired a net at the Autobot Brothers, and missed. Luckily [[Rollbar (RID)|Rollbar]] was able to pick up the slack and capture the three Autobots, but you can bet Ro-Tor was hearing about it for a long while afterward. With the Autobot Brothers captive, the Decepticons and Megatron were able to inflict some punishment on Optimus and Rail Racer, who were unable to fight back. Unfortunately Ultra Magnus rescued the three brothers, and Megatron's forces were soon in retreat once again. {{storylink|The Two Faces of Ultra Magnus}} Scourge attempted to get Ultra Magnus to join him in destroying Optimus, but Magnus turned him down, resulting in the Decepticons springing a trap on the Autobot. Though [[Side Burn (RID)|Side Burn]] and [[Prowl (RID)|Prowl]] attempted to help Magnus, the renegade Autobot promptly left them to it, and they were little match for Ruination. Of course, the arrival of Optimus and return of Magnus turned things pretty firmly back in the Autobots' favour, and the Decepticons retreated once again. {{Storylink|Power to Burn!}}

Ro-Tor joined Scourge, Sky-Byte, Megatron, and the rest of the Commandos in watching archival footage of Ultra Magnus in order to get a better understanding of their newly arrived enemy. {{storylink|Mystery of the Ultra Magnus}}

More information was gleaned from the captured [[Kenneth Onishi|Doctor Onishi]]'s mind—there were strange ruins beneath Metro City which emanated powerful energy. The Decepticons set out to find the ruins and promptly ran into the Spy Changers. While [[Armorhide (RID)|Armorhide]] and Rollbar were left to take care of them, the rest of the Decepticons went on and ran into [[Railspike (RID)|Railspike]] and [[Rapid Run (RID)|Rapid Run]] in a subway tunnel. Movor and Ro-Tor stayed to keep them pinned down while Scourge and Mega-Octane continued on, however Ultra Magnus turned up and accidentally flooded the tunnel. The two Decepticons found themselves being washed away along with Team Bullet Train, eventually being flushed into the cavern containing the ruins where they were reunited with the other Decepticons. They combined into Ruination to fight the Autobots while Scourge headed for the ruins, unleashing [[Fortress Maximus (RID)|Fortress Maximus]]. {{storylink|Fortress Maximus (episode)|Fortress Maximus}} Chased off by Fortress Maximus's defense systems, the Commandos formed Ruination to keep Rail Racer busy while Scourge made a second attempt to access Maximus. {{storylink|Koji Gets His Wish}}

[[File:FriendlyContest RoTor and Movor.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.1|"Movor is such a dork he... He's behind me isn't he?"]]
With the hunt for the O-Parts on, the Decepticons confronted the Autobot Brothers and Build Team, who had found an O-Part, and demanded they hand it over. The Autobots promptly disappeared through the Global Space Bridge, starting a game of cat and mouse. The Decepticons eventually cornered them in [[Egypt]], however Sky-Byte's bungling made recovering the O-Parts impossible. {{storylink|A Friendly Contest}} Spying from space, Movor spotted the Autobots in the [[Sahara|Sahara Desert]], and Megatron and the Decepticons arrived in time to attack Side Burn. Venturing into the subterranean ruins, they found the Autobots had located the [[Orb of Sigma]], and the Decepticons fought them while Megatron went for the Orb. Ultimately they were unsuccessful and, with the loss of Megatron, the Decepticons retreated back to the ''Megastar''. {{Storylink|Peril from the Past}}

Without Megatron's leadership, the Decepticons had a lot more freedom to do what they wanted. They tracked the Autobots to an old temple, where they were able to snatch [[Cerebros (RID)|Cerebros]], the key to controlling Fortress Maximus, away with the help of the Predacons. Rollbar and Ro-Tor were able to locate Maximus himself in Metro City and, despite the Autobots attempting to defend the giant, Scourge was able to use Cerebros to activate him. The Commandos combined into Ruination during the following battle, however Scourge's lack of ability to contol Maximus and the return of Megatron as Galvatron resulted in the Decepticons retreating. {{storylink|Maximus Emerges}}

[[File:SurpriseAttack RoTor attackcopter.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.1]]
A second attempt in the desert to control Maximus, with Ruination providing backup, didn't go any better {{storylink|The Human Element}} and during a third attempt, Scourge's treachery was revealed to Galvatron. {{storylink|Mistaken Identity}} This resulted in Galvatron forcibly reprogramming all of the Decepticons to obey his will, and putting them under the command of Sky-Byte for an assault on Autobot headquarters. Pursuing the fleeing Optimus Prime, the Decepticons and Predacons were led into a trap, though the arrival of the ''Megastar'' and Fortress Maximus rendered them superfluous anyway. They watched as Maximus defeated the ''Megastar'', and Galvatron fell lifeless to the ground. {{storylink|Surprise Attack!}} Galvatron was not out, however, and the Decepticons defended him while he drained energy from Fortress Maximus. He sent Ruination and Scourge into the Global Space Bridge after the retreating Autobots, before himself flooding the tunnel with lava by rupturing the tunnel wall. {{storylink|Galvatron's Revenge}} They survived the lava, only to be swiftly defeated by the Autobot forces. After Galvatron's defeat, they were shipped off to the [[asteroid prison colony]] with Galvatron and the Predacons. {{Storylink|The Final Battle (RID)|The Final Battle}}

====''Unite Warriors''====
{{note|As this fiction takes place in a different [[continuity family]], "Hepter" will be used to refer to the character.}}
Following their capture, Hepter and the other Combatrons were brought to a future [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] and sentenced to be reverted into [[protoform]]s to cleanse them of their evil programming and, to their horror, identities. They were brought to safety by the [[Unicron]] of [[2021]], who transported them into the past and granted them new bodies in exchange for helping him attach his disembodied head to the planet's surface. During the battle with the local [[Autobot]] forces, Hepter cut through enemy ranks with his "Hepter Cross", a rotor attack that flung energy blades all over the place. Upon connecting Unicron's head to the planet, the Combatrons learned that the dark god had no intention of letting them go free, but rather planned to change this past and undo the future they hailed from! In order to avoid being erased from existence, the team combined into Baldigus and turned on Unicron. {{storylink|Baldigus Chapter, Part One}} After Unicron was defeated thanks to the efforts of Baldigus and other combiners, the Combatrons returned to the future with Black Convoy and Gelshark, seeking to rescue their leader Gigatron. {{storylink|Baldigus Chapter, Part Two}}

===''Universe'' comic===
The Ro-Tor of [[Viron 704.31 Epsilon]] came under the command of [[Megazarak (Universe)|Megazarak]] after the death of Megatron. However, the Commandos, [[Constructicon (RID)|Constructicon]]s, and [[Megabolt]] were abducted by [[Unicron]] for the [[Universe War]]. {{storylink|Ask Vector Prime#Facebook|Ask Vector Prime, 2015/07/30}}

As part of Ruination, Ro-Tor was sent by Unicron along with [[Reptilion]], [[Sunstorm (Universe)|Sunstorm]], and [[Perceptor (Armada)|Perceptor]] to intercept some extra-dimensionals Unicron wanted for the [[Cauldron]]. Ruination's group was successfully fought off by the [[Child of Primus|Children of Primus]]. {{storylink|Voice Actor Drama}}

===Ask Vector Prime===
[[Violen Jiger|Bio Ranger Iga]] selected a Viron Ruination from [[Greengard]] to be one of his [[Thirteen Great Demon Generals]]. Presumably Ro-Tor was part of this Ruination. {{storylink|Ask Vector Prime#Facebook|Ask Vector Prime, 2015/06/27}}

===''Beast Wars: Uprising''===

During the [[Grand Uprising]], Ro-Tor and his team of [[Resistance]] Commandos volunteered for augmentation into [[K-Class]] living bombs. Deemed only a last resort, the Commandos were retrofitted to transform into massively destructive weapons of annihilation, with the core bombs inside them linked to their very sparks. At maximum detonation, a K-Class could effectively end the world.

The Resistance enjoyed stellar cycles of victory that made any use of the K-Class troopers seem unrealistic. That all changed with the [[Vehicon (BM)|Vehicon]]s. These anti-spark drones assimilated other proto-formers on contact, spreading their nano-plague exponentially. Two Resistance city-states had already fallen before High Command learned of the third. Ro-Tor and three fellow Commandos ([[Rollbar (RID)|Jeepers]], [[Armorhide (RID)|Dangar]], and [[Movor]]) were selected to cauterize the infection, wiping the cities off the map before the plague spread. Movor missed his target, however, and the Vehicons of [[Protihex]] survived.

[[Lio Convoy]] marched the entire army of the Resistance on [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]], hoping to force the [[Builder Assembly]] to surrender and deactivate the Vehicons. When the Vehicons turned on their masters and began assimilating Builders as well, however, any hope of stopping the [[Vehicon Apocalypse]] seemed lost. Out of options, Lio Convoy summoned Ro-Tor and prepped him for detonation, a desperate action designed to destroy the planet before the Vehicons could spread to other worlds. At a Level 10, Ro-Tor would tear a hole through the heart of Cybertron itself.

Before he could be activated, however, [[Eject (G1)|Eject]] and [[Riker]] arrived from the Builders with intel on the Vehicons and their staging ground in the [[Grand Mal]] of [[Nova Cronum]]. In defiance of a reluctant Lio Convoy, Ro-Tor insisted they take advantage of this chance, rather than allow himself to be used to destroy his homeworld. Lio Convoy was chagrined, and agreed to make for Nova Cronum with Ro-Tor and a small team at his side.

The Resistance made for the Grand Mal, with Ro-Tor joining Lio Convoy on the mission as a last resort. Furthermore, he insisted Lio Convoy reset him to Level 2, ensuring he could not be used as a world-killer anymore. A small commando unit infiltrated the fortress and separated. As Lio Convoy slipped away with Blackarachnia to confront [[Galva Convoy]], creator of the Vehicons, Ro-Tor went with [[Razorbeast]] and [[Apexus]] to cause a distraction and lure the Vehicon hordes away from their commanders. Lio Convoy defeated Galva Convoy, at great personal cost, but the wizard behind the curtain peeked out, and [[Lord Imperious Delirious]] seized control of the Grand Mal when his puppet had fallen. Blackarachnia sent the last of the commandos to carry the prone Lio Convoy to safety while she and Ro-Tor made their way towards engineering. Ro-Tor intended to use his K-Class mode to destroy the engineering section, but his sacrifice was stopped by the [[Ex-Bot]] called [[Rampage (BW)|Rampage]]. Having his own score to settle with Delirious, Rampage ripped the core bomb out of Ro-Tor and tore open his own chest, affixing the bomb to his spark. Rampage insisted on no more sacrifices, and urged Ro-Tor and Blackarachnia to the exits. Quickly. The [[Point One Percenter]] detonated the core bomb, allowing Ro-Tor to live on. {{Storylink|Derailment}}

: A [[redeco]] of the [[The Transformers (toyline)|Generation 1]] [[Vortex (G1)#Toys|Vortex]] toy, Ro-Tor transforms into a [[Wikipedia:SH-2 Seasprite|Kaman Aerospace SH-2 Seasprite helicopter]]. He has a pair of large, non-firing cannons that clip onto the back end of his copter mode, plus a pistol that becomes a nose-mounted gun. As the toy uses the "[[Scramble City (toyline)|Scramble City]]" style of connection, he can form any limb to any combination of similar robots, though naturally, he normally forms a limb to the combined robot [[Ruination (RID)#Toys|Ruination]]; as the left arm in the more-common "Flight Mission" mode, or the right leg for "Land Mission" mode.

: He was first released as part of the [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] ''Car Robots'' line in 2000 as "Hepter".

: In 2001, [[Hasbro]] released the toy as part of the ''Robots in Disguise'' series as "Ro-Tor", with a host of deco changes. The Takara Hepter's metallic blue plastic was replaced with a flatter, richer dark-blue. Ro-Tor lost Hepter's white "underbelly" paint spray, added red arrow-markings to the vehicle sides, and replaced the "Anti-Cybertron" symbol with the Decepticon emblem. Hasbro's [[stock photography]] shows red paint on the ends of the large rotor blades, but these were ultimately lacking in the final product.

: This mold was also used to make [[Target Hawk]].

'''Bonecrusher''' finds beauty in rubble-strewn wastelands and longs to transform pretty much any location he happens across into one. Moreover, he makes demolition into a wild performance art. He loves to show off his destructive talents for his fellow Decepticons. Deep down, his destruction is really a perfectionism that cannot tolerate anything that he views as flawed, which includes the [[Autobot]]s. [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] values the fear and destruction Bonecrusher creates as much as the resources harvested in his wake. Now if he could just refrain from destroying buildings the Decepticons actually need...

Bonecrusher would then reveal the Constructicons' ability to combine by forming [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]], which was blasted by [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]] into lava. {{storylink|Heavy Metal War}} Bonecrusher and the other Constructicons would later appear in [[New York City]], bringing down the [[Empire State Building]] and then re-erecting it as a Cybertronian fortress. {{storylink|City of Steel (episode)|City of Steel}} He later helped build the [[Transfixatron]]. Before a second Constructicon device could be used to destroy the powerless Autobots stuck in [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]], they were rescued and Bonecrusher and the other Constructicons were defeated by the Transfixatron. {{storylink|The Autobot Run}} While trying to dig to the [[Earth's core]], Bonecrusher got a [[dominator disc]] stuck on him so that when he helped form Devastator, the combiner was brought under Autobot control. After Devastator sealed the Decepticons in a tunnel and helped rebuild some of the Autobot base, Megatron then revealed he knew of the Autobot plan to take control of the Constructicons, and deactivated the disks. After a fight for control, Bonecrusher, as Devastator, goes berserk. After a joint Autobot/Decepticon effort, Devastator was brought under Decepticon control and helped to save the day. {{storylink|The Core}}

Bonecrusher, led by Scrapper, convinced [[Hoist (G1)|Hoist]] and [[Grapple (G1)|Grapple]] that they wanted to aid the two Autobots in a construction project to build a solar tower. (It went poorly at first, and Bonecrusher offering to offline the two Autobots did not help.) While building the tower, they explained to Megatron (at gunpoint) that they were still loyal to him, and once the tower was built, they would turn it over to him. Once the tower is complete, they did just that. ...Then he and the other Constructicons, as Devastator, wrecked it. {{storylink|The Master Builders (episode)|The Master Builders}} He was later owned by the Autobots. {{storylink|Megatron's Master Plan, Part 2}} Still later, he met with his old friend Omega Supreme, who wasn't very happy. {{storylink|The Secret of Omega Supreme (episode)|The Secret of Omega Supreme}} Even later, he helped build a pointless maze. {{storylink|Triple Takeover}} Even ''more'' later, as part of Devastator, he was owned by [[Bruticus (G1)|Bruticus]]. {{storylink|Starscream's Brigade}}

Present at the [[Battle of Autobot City]], Bonecrusher helped to breach the Autobot defenses as part of Devastator, who withstood an Autobot attack. After a second attack by the Dinobots, Bonecrusher was not seen again until the confrontation on [[Astrotrain (G1)|Astrotrain]] over who should lead the Decepticons. (And who should be thrown out of the shuttle.) Though [[Rumble (G1)|Rumble]] and [[Frenzy (G1)|Frenzy]] prevented Devastator from proving his superiority, Bonecrusher and the other Constructicons made it back to Cybertron and were present for Starscream's coronation as [[Decepticon leader]]. After a fanfare and the death of Starscream at the hands (or cannon) of [[Galvatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Galvatron]], Bonecrusher and his fellow surviving Decepticons joined in the hunt for the Autobot Matrix of Leadership. {{storylink|The Transformers: The Movie}}

When the Autobots arrived to stop them, he commanded the Constructicons to form Devastator, who was then blasted to his components by Perceptor. Maybe they had to have the right person giving orders. {{storylink|Carnage in C-Minor}} The Constructicons later participated in a Decepticon attack on [[Paradron]], {{storylink|Fight or Flee (episode)|Fight or Flee}} and then another one on Cybertron. {{storylink|The Rebirth, Part 1}}

Bonecrusher and the other Constructicons started constructing Trypticon on a small island paradise, destroying the flora and fauna in the process. When the Autobots found out, they sent [[Superion (G1)|Superion]] to put a stop to them, and the Constructicons responded by forming Devastator. Unfortunately, the newly activated Trypticon, who wanted the challenge of fighting Superion by himself, grabbed Devastator and threw him into the ocean. After all was said and done, the Autobots put Bonecrusher and the rest of the Constructicons to work, restoring the island to its former natural splendor. {{storylink|Fight!

[[File:Constructiconsbornmarvel.jpg|upright=1.1|thumb|left|"It is well that I am ready to trick him into '''''his''''' boner!"]]
Shortly after assuming control of the Decepticons, [[Shockwave (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Shockwave]] raided a [[Blackrock Aerospace Assembly Plant Number One|Blackrock Aerospace Assembly Plant]] in order to co-opt its construction facilities for his own purposes. Using the purloined power of his prisoner, [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Optimus Prime]], Shockwave fed energy from the [[Matrix of Leadership|Creation Matrix]] into the brain modules of his new creations — Bonecrusher and the Constructicons. Their first mission was to work with [[Soundwave (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Soundwave]] and convert a human radio-telescope into a broadcasting antenna for contacting their homeworld of Cybertron. The Constructicons paused at a local truck stop to salvage the trucks and other machinery to use as raw materials in their project, earning them the wrath of the mighty [[Bomber Bill]], trucker extraordinaire. At the site of the radio-telescope, the Constructicons began their work: Bonecrusher contributed to the DE-struction part of the project, smashing the trucks into pieces so that his more artistically-inclined partners could re-engineer them as necessary. As Bomber Bill arrived with a cavalry of Autobots, Soundwave instructed the Constructicons to combine into the mighty Devastator and crush the opposition. Devastator's limited processing ability kept him from efficiently targeting multiple opponents, however, giving Bomber Bill and [[Huffer (G1)|Huffer]] a chance to damage the antenna. Soundwave and the Constructicons were forced into a retreat. {{storylink|The Next Best Thing to Being There!}}

''Bonecrusher and his comrades spent the next several months working on their gestalt coordination, refining Devastator to act as a smooth (if slow) killing machine. Their next mission was to capture the human known as [[Buster Witwicky (G1)|Buster Witwicky]], who had come to Shockwave's attention. They found him attending a demolition derby in Oregon, and Bonecrusher quickly remarked that ''"this looks like my sort'a place!"'' Their kidnapping attempt was interrupted by Buster's human friends, [[Ironhide (G1)|Ironhide]] and the Autobots. Faced with the enemy, Bonecrusher and the Constructicons combined into Devastator once more, and fought off the Autobots while Soundwave performed a mind-scan on Buster. After uncovering some valuable information, Soundwave called off the attack, and the Constructicons returned to base.'' {{storylink|Devastation Derby!}}

[[File:Bonecrusher sludge in the national interest.jpg|thumb|right|100px|"Gotham City will rue the day it mentioned the word boner!"]]
The next [[Wyoming base|Decepticon base of operations]] was a coal strip mine in the Powder River Basin of eastern Wyoming, chosen rather ad hoc when [[Megatron (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Megatron]] raided the location and then began squatting there after driving off the Autobots and American military. Shockwave summoned the Constructicons to fortify their position more strategically, and the Decepticon engineers installed a ring of defensive weapons and barriers around the rim of the basin. They also lent their strength as Devastator to the defenses, and drove off an Autobot strike unit soon after arriving in Wyoming. {{storylink|Command Performances!}}

''Bonecrusher and the Constructicons remained available for the Decepticon cause. On one occasion, they battled the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]] alongside Megatron and Soundwave. Bonecrusher and [[Long Haul (G1)|Long Haul]] double-teamed [[Sludge (G1)|Sludge]], and eventually brought him down with sheer firepower. As he was celebrating his victory, however, Bonecrusher was blindsided by the mechanoid known as [[Centurion (Marvel)|Centurion]], and sent flying. The tide of battle turned, and the Decepticons soon abandoned their skirmish with the Dinobots.'' {{storylink|In the National Interest}} ''On another occasion, the future Decepticon known as [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]] forced Bonecrusher and the Constructicons into building a massive energy cannon for his plans.'' {{storylink|Target: 2006}}

Bonecrusher and the other Constructicons were called upon to defend the Decepticons' [[Club Con|base in the Florida Keys]] from a joint attack by [[G.I. Joe (team)|G.I.

Forming Devastator once again, they brawled with [[Superion (G1)|Superion]] until a blast from Superion's rifle caused a malfunction in Devastator's coupling links and he broke up into his components. {{storylink|...All Fall Down!}}

Sometime later, after [[Ratbat (G1)|Ratbat]] assumed command of the Decepticons, he had the Constructicons raid a building site in downtown [[Atlanta]], [[Georgia]] for raw materials such as girders. {{storylink|Toy Soldiers!}} Later, when the Decepticons staged an all-out attack on the Autobots of the Ark and ''[[Steelhaven (G1)|Steelhaven]]'', who had landed on the moon to settle a personal dispute.

Under the guise of the [[Global Corporation]], Bonecrusher and his fellow Constructicons created sophisticated buildings all around the world. Within each building, however, was hidden a mechanism that would trap underground all within the structure. When the scheme was put into motion and the Autobots responded with an attack, Bonecrusher and his fellow Contructicons merged to become The Devastator. Though in this form, the Constructicons were able to overpower the Autobots, that changed when the Dinobots arrived. After Swoop had butchered the rest of the Constructicons, Bonecrusher was fused into a helpless mess with Long Haul by Grapple's welder rifle. {{storylink|Battle for Earth}}

[[File:Constructicons-ASW.jpeg|thumb|upright=1.1]]
As Devastator, Bonecrusher and the other Constructicons stumbled upon [[Sunstreaker (G1)|Sunstreaker]] admiring his reflection in the wilderness, and managed to capture the vain Autobot. The group revealed their individual components to their prisoner once he was safely locked up within Decepticon headquarters. They rejoined forces to combat an Autobot rescue party that attempted to storm Decepticon base, and captured [[Slag (G1)|Slag]], [[Sludge (G1)|Sludge]] and [[Sideswipe (G1)|Sideswipe]] as well, putting them in Sunstreaker's cell. Pleased with the development, Megatron informed Hook that he would be charged in rebuilding the captured Autobots as Decepticons. Bonecrusher interjected, hoping to be the one to be allowed to destroy the Autobts prior to their reconstruction. The two Constructicons began to squabble, prompting Megatron to break up the fight by promising them each an Autobot to destroy. The opportunity never came, however, as the Constructicons were once more prompted to combine into Devastator to contemplate an Autobot peace offering; a life-sized statue of the gestalt! The peace offering turned out to be an Autobot ruse, and reinforcement burst forth from within the statue. The Autobots forced Devastator to break up into his component pieces by thoroughly dividing his attention, and so Bonecrusher joined the fight against the Autobots as an individual. The Decepticons ultimately lost the battle to the Autobots. {{storylink|The Autobots' Secret Weapon}}

When the Decepticons learned that the Autobots had long ago lost a large shipment of Energon cubes at the Ark's original crash site, Galvatron ordered them to head to Mt. St. Hillary to uncover it. There, Bonecrusher and Scrapper used their alternate modes to dig up the site. As usual, Bonecrusher wound up buried in his own rubble. When the Autobots inevitably showed themselves, Bonecrusher joined the other Decepticons in fighting them. The brawl ended when Starscream scarfed down all of the Energon, and proceeded to pick a fight with Galvatron. {{storylink|The Lost Treasure of Cybertron}}

In one possible scenario, the Constructicons were responsible for building the Decepticons’ command centre in the evil robots’ latest plot of taking over the Earth. They also were responsible for stocking Astrotrain with explosives and weapons before the Decepticon shuttle launched into space to further sabotage Earth’s satellites.

In a different possible scenario, the Constructicons joined Galvatron on his campaign to retrieve an ancient cybertite sphere containing the secret of an ancient Autobot power-booster. Discovering that the sphere was within a sunken ship off the California coast, the Constructicons merged into Devastator in order to retrieve it. {{storylink|Autobot Alert!}}

Nine million years ago, Bonecrusher and the Constructicons helped Megatron create his world engine under [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]], the means by which he would turn all of Cybertron into a mobile juggernaut, bringing his tyrannical message of "peace" to the galaxy at large. {{storylink|The War Within issue 5|The War Within #5}} Construction was interrupted by [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]] and his commando unit, however, and the engine was disabled. {{storylink|The War Within issue 6|The War Within #6}}

During the war, the Constructicons discovered a new means of transformation and combination, turning themselves into the awesome and terrifying Devastator. The technology was appropriated by the Autobots, and soon a half-dozen or so titanic combiners were in action on both sides. Their destructive potential proved to be too much for Cybertron's fragile mantle to handle, and so by the time of the Dark Ages the [[Crisis Intervention Accord]] set down new rules of warfare, prohibiting the combiner teams from operating together on any faction. They could remain an unaligned unit or join separate factions, but the risk of combiner warfare was too great. Unfortunately, Bonecrusher and the Constructicons eventually broke that agreement, allying themselves and Devastator with [[Ratbat (G1)|Ratbat]]'s [[Ultracon]] faction. {{storylink|Escalation}} Their resulting battle with the unaligned [[Defensor (G1)|Defensor]] devastated the [[Tagan Heights]] region of Cybertron, and very nearly triggered a chain reaction that would have destroyed the entire planet. Thankfully, the Constructicons were defeated after the Protectobots electrocuted them. {{storylink|Devastation}}

Although they were apparently not part of the original crew of the [[Nemesis (G1)|Nemesis]], the Constructicons somehow became involved in the Autobot / Decepticon skirmish on Earth in the 1980s. Like the other Decepticons, they were captured and detained by the Autobots after roughly a decade of war, and would have been transported back to Cybertron if not for the sabotage of the [[Ark II]]. Bonecrusher and many other Decepticons were taken in by the human mercenary [[Lazarus]], who attempted to reprogram their deactivated forms into remote-controlled weapons of mass destruction. He failed. Megatron regained control of his senses in 2002, and reawakened the Decepticons under Lazarus' dominion. {{storylink|Prime Directive issue 4|Prime Directive #4}} Combined as Devastator, Bonecrusher and the Constructicons caused significant damage to the city of [[San Francisco]] before being brought down by [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] himself. {{storylink|Prime Directive issue 5|Prime Directive #5}}

''After being repaired over the following months, Bonecrusher and the Constructicons were among the first Decepticons to swear fealty to [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]] after Megatron vanished in Tokyo in a flash of light. Merged as Devastator, they helped him declare his intentions in a desert battle with [[Sideswipe (G1)|Sideswipe]] and the Air Force, and then moved on to Las Vegas. Starscream's plan was to convince Sin City's population to willingly accept him and the Decepticons as their new lords and masters. As part of the deception, he declared anyone not interested in his new order was free to leave the city, although the wily Decepticon cautioned that he could not protect them from anything they encountered beyond those limits. Bonecrusher was stationed at the city limits to terrorize anyone who attempted to flee, using cloaking technology and sleight-of-hand tricks to convince exiting motorists that the Constructicon was protecting them from some unseen but deadly force. Bonecrusher's tricks successfully convinced [[Paul Whitmore|Paul]] and [[Janie Whitmore]] to turn back to Las Vegas, spreading word of the dangers they faced and the "aid" the Decepticon gave them.''

''When [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]], [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]] and [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]] invaded the city with a small military unit, the Constructicons came out to greet them. Bonecrusher was the first to battle Bumblebee and Prowl, and was infuriated when they made "left arm" jokes at his expense (apparently he's sensitive about being Devastator's southpaw). His cezium steel armor enabled Bonecrusher to stand up to the punishment both Autobots were dishing out, and the Constructicon was little more than dazed after Prowl expended his entire ammunition storage on Bonecrusher. Although he was eventually weakened by their combined assault, Bonecrusher held his own against both Autobots long enough for his fellow Constructicons to reach the site of the battle. Unfortunately for the Decepticons, Grimlock arrived just then as well. The Constructicons were forced to retreat before the Dinobot and his secret army of human-piloted assault helicopters. Bonecrusher's injuries were significant enough that Devastator's left arm appeared limp and nearly useless in another battle a few hours later. {{storylink|Transformers: Hardwired|Hardwired}}''

''Megatron eventually returned to Earth, but Bonecrusher and the Constructicons owed Starscream for reconstructing them, and so remained loyal to him when the Decepticons split into two factions. Of course, this only meant they were among the first to be captured by the [[keeper (species)|Keepers]] when those aliens took over Las Vegas and turned Starscream into their puppet. Trapped behind an impenetrable force dome, Bonecrusher and the Constructicons attempted to batter their way out as Devastator using sheer brute force, until [[Skywarp (G1)|Skywarp]] offered a better idea. Reconverting into their separate modes, the Constructicons dug a tunnel out beneath the force field, enabling Starscream's faction to join the final battle against the Keepers. Acting as Devastator, they were too far away from Optimus Prime and his [[Matrix of Leadership|Matrix]]-induced force shield when the American nuclear assault was dropped on the Keepers, and were blasted into pieces. {{storylink|Transformers: Annihilation|Annihilation}}''

''The nuclear blast left Devastator fused into his singular [[robot mode]], leaving him unable to split back into Bonecrusher and his other components. Eventually, Devastator fell into the Void along with [[Omega Sentinel (G1)|Omega Sentinel]] in the final conflict with the Keepers, and was left in stasis lock, drifting in the vacuum of space, after the Sentinel destroyed the Keepers' power source and shattered the Void back into real space-time. The starship ''[[Bounty]]'', on a secret space mission from Earth, came across Devastator's remains and planned to tow him back to Earth. {{storylink|Transformers: Fusion|Fusion}}''

After Ratbat and the [[Senate]] began discontinuing all manual labor opportunities on Cybertron, automating the work formerly performed by Cybertronians, Bonecrusher and his construction crew found themselves out of a job. Searching for new challenges, these "Constructicons" hooked up with [[Megatron (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Megatron]] and the underground pit-fighting ring in [[Kaon (polity)|Kaon]]. Since the combat was illegal, the gladiators could not operate out of a single arena at a set location: too much risk of being raided. Instead, the Constructicons were commissioned to create a new arena before each fight at a randomly chosen location. Using a combination of demolition, material fabrication, and surgically-skilled construction engineering, Bonecrusher and the Constructicons would convert any and all scrap available into into a new arena for the gladiators and crowd to occupy. {{storylink|Megatron Origin issue 2|Megatron Origin #2}} They also worked behind the scenes at the arena, repairing and upgrading damaged fighters. {{storylink|Megatron Origin issue 3|Megatron Origin #3}} When Megatron's insurrection began, Bonecrusher and [[Mixmaster (G1)|Mixmaster]] headed into the streets of Kaon to kill any opposition. {{storylink|Megatron Origin issue 4|Megatron Origin #4}}

In the modern era, Bonecrusher and his fellow Constructicons were summoned to Earth to assist Megatron in the conquest of the wretched little mudball. Having recently gained the ability to combine, the Constructicons made short work of the Autobot unit stationed on Earth. {{storylink|All Hail Megatron issue 7|All Hail Megatron #7}} Afterwards, the Decepticons attacked [[New York City]], where Bonecrusher got to murder lots of confused humans. {{storylink|All Hail Megatron issue 1|All Hail Megatron #1}} As part of Devastator, he also helped cut the city off from the rest of the world by wrecking the underground tunnels leading to it. {{storylink|All Hail Megatron issue 2|All Hail Megatron #2}} Once the city was conquered, Bonecrusher was the only Constructicon seen listening to Megatron's victory speech. {{storylink|All Hail Megatron issue 4|All Hail Megatron #4}} Along with the rest of the Constructicons, Bonecrusher allied himself with [[Starscream (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Starscream]] when he tried to take leadership of the Decepticons. As Devastator, the Constructicons attacked Megatron, but failed to kill him due to the arrival of human jets. {{storylink|All Hail Megatron issue 10|All Hail Megatron #10}} Devastator fought the humans until the Autobots suddenly returned to the planet, at which point he duked it out with [[Omega Supreme (G1)|Omega Supreme]] instead. {{storylink|All Hail Megatron issue 11|All Hail Megatron #11}} The Constructicons lost the battle when Omega Supreme blasted a big hole in Devastator's chest. {{storylink|All Hail Megatron issue 12|All Hail Megatron #12}}

[[File:Kings Constructicons.jpg|thumb|upright=1.8|See this picture? It shows a big boner of the modern vintage.]]
Megatron would later use [[space bridge]] technology built into in his new body to summon Bonecrusher and the rest of the Decepticons to him on Cybertron. To battle the Autobots, Bonecrusher and the other Constructions combined into Devastator, but were defeated since the combiner's right leg was paralyzed due to combining with a dead [[Scrapper (G1)|Scrapper]]. They were soon mind-controlled by [[D-Void]] (via [[Galvatron (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Galvatron]]) into combining with Galvatron's [[Sweep (G1)|Sweep]] army and forming [[Deceptigod|a huge monster]]. {{storylink|Chaos Part Three: Kings|Kings}} Following the blasting apart of the monstrosity by Megatron and D-Void's defeat, the weakened Decepticons, including Bonecrusher, were taken captive by the Autobots, who kept them under control by planting explosive [[Inhibitor/deterrence chip|I/D chip]]s in their heads. {{storylink|The Autonomy Lesson (issue)|The Autonomy Lesson}}

[[File:The World & Everything in It Bonecrusher and Long Haul.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.1|How do you like my boner crimes, eh?]]
Bonecrusher was in on [[Ratbat (G1)|Ratbat]]'s plan to turn the tables on the Autobots. {{storylink|The World & Everything in It}} When Ratbat was then ''mysteriously'' found dead, the Decepticons suspected foul play. Regardless, Bonecrusher and some other Constructicons helped the Autobots dig out victims of a mysterious explosion on Cybertron's surface. {{storylink|Stick Together}} Bonecrusher later labored in a Decepticon factory before joining forces with [[Bombshell (G1)|Bombshell]], who was being chased by [[Prowl (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Prowl]]. The Constructicons beat up [[Blurr (G1)|Blurr]] and fought with [[Arcee (G1)|Arcee]] until Prowl showed up, threatening to detonate their I/D chips. They just taunted him since Ratbat had disabled their chips, but Prowl used a secret passcode to override the disabling, killing all the Constructicons... {{storylink|Devisive}}

...or so it seemed. In actual fact, [[Bombshell (G1)|Bombshell]] was controlling Prowl using a [[cerebro-shell]], and recovered the Constructicons to the [[Black Room]], where they were fully repaired and rebuilt according to Megatron's plan to form a new, modular version of Devastator, with the still-controlled Prowl as the first head. {{storylink|Before the Dawn}} After Bombshell was killed by Arcee, Devastator shut down briefly, before going on an uncontrolled rampage when Prowl bonded with the Constructicons over their shared hatred of [[Spike Witwicky (G1)|Spike Witwicky]]. This lasted until [[Ironhide (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Ironhide]] managed to break through to Prowl, meaning he wrestled enough control to cause Devastator to tear off his own head, spontaneously un-combining the gestalt. Shortly afterwards, Megatron attempted to reform the combiner, this time with himself as its head, but the well-timed activation of a stasis field secretly built into the Decepticon leader's spark casing by the late Wheeljack stopped the process in its tracks. Prowl then attempted to arrest the Constructicons, but a revolt from the "[[NAIL]]"s and an opportunistic power-grab by Starscream led to the Autobot and Decepticon armies both being thrown out of Iacon instead. {{storylink|Plan for Everything}}

Impressed by the terrible things they'd seen in Prowl's mind during their combination, the Constructicons joined up with the Autobots in the wilderness and had a brief scuffle with the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]] before they explained themselves and were accepted into the Autobot camp. After ''another'' scuffle, this time with Arcee, the team put their differences aside to go drinking the Dinobots. {{storylink|Second Exodus}}

*Bonecrusher and his teammates were masquerading as construction vehicles, when they suddenly decided to horrify their human operators by revealing their true nature. As their human drivers bailed out and fled, the team combined into Devastator, who crashed his fists together, creating a surge of energy that crackled all the way through his gigantic body. {{storylink|Commercial/Generation 1#Constructicons|Constructicons commercial}}
*Causing chaos at a construction site, the Constructicons merged into Devastator, who created a huge fissure by stabbing a girder into the ground. The Dinobots emerged from the crevasse, and Grimlock seized the combiner's leg with his jaws and threw the combiner aside. {{storylink|Commercial/Generation 2#Constructicons and Dinobots|Generation Constructicons and Dinobots commercial}}

*'''Bonecrusher''' (Constructicon, [[1985]]/[[1986]])
**''Team ID number'': '''1'''
**''Japanese ID number'': '''36'''
**''Accessories:'' [[Laser pistol]], Devastator's left fist, "target shooter" projectile launcher, [[concussion weapon|"rotor blade"]] projectile.

:Bonecrusher was originally from [[TakaraTomy|Takara]]'s [[Pre-Transformer]]s ''[[Diaclone]]'' toyline, as Construction Vehicle Robot No.1 Bulldozer. Bonecrusher transforms into a bright green bulldozer, which can also form an "attack bulldozer" mode by attaching the "target shooter" (loaded with the "rotor blade" projectile) onto the posts on the hood of his [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]].

:He can combine with his fellow Constructicons to form [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]], functioning as the left arm.

:On the European continent, Bonecrusher was initially released individually alongside the other Constructicons by Hasbro's subsidiary [[Milton Bradley]] (MB) in 1985.<ref name="mbredtr">[http://www.tf-1.com/articles/eurous/mb_template.html "Milton Bradley and the red TF Tracks"] at TF-1.com.</ref><ref name="mbcollection">[http://20thcenturytoycollector.com/transformers/mb-transformers-collection/ "MB Transformers Collection"] at 20th Century Toy Collector.</ref> In 1986, Bonecrusher and the other Constructicons were re-released in Europe, albeit this time in "Hasbro"-branded packaging (but manufactured by [[Joustra]]). The main difference with all other releases thus far was that the Constructicons' main color was now ''yellow'' instead of green.<ref name="frenchcon">[http://tfsource.com/blog/french-connection/ "French Connection"] at the TF Source blog.</ref><ref name="europestrange">[http://tfsource.com/blog/europes-strangest-attractions/ "Europe's Strangest Attractions"] at the TF Scource blog.</ref><ref name="frenchconst">[http://www.fredsworkshop.com/vjap6.html "French TFs: G1 Yellow Constructicons"] at Fred's Workshop.</ref> These are ''not'' to be confused with the later, ''non''-combining yellow European Constructicons, nor with the yellow ''Generation 2'' Constructicons (see below for both).

*'''Devastator''' (Giftset, 1985)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''37'''

:Bonecrusher was also available as part of the Devastator gift set that was available in several markets, including the United States and Japan. Rumors are that an MB-branded Devastator giftset was also released in continental Europe, but thus far no packaged sample has surfaced.<ref name="mbcollection"/>

*'''Constructicon''' (Constructicon, [[1992]])
**''Accessories:'' Laser pistol

:Another yellow European exclusive version of Scavenger, in colors very similar to the previous yellow European release. The main difference was that this version, just like the other Constructicons, came with no Devastator parts. This toy was also not officially named, as he came on a standardized card also used by the other Constructicons.

:There were two [[variant]]s of this Bonecrusher: The initial production run had his canopy cast in gray plastic (a color choice unique to this version), whereas the other one had a yellow canopy like the previous European yellow Bonecrusher.<ref name="eurovar">[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-toy-discussion/595256-1992-european-yellow-constructicons-variant.html "1992 European Yellow Constructicons Variant"] at TFW2005.</ref>

*'''Bonecrusher''' (Constructicon, [[1993]])
**''Team ID number'': '''1'''
**''Accessories:'' Laser pistol, Devastator's left fist, "target shooter" projectile launcher, "rotor blade" projectile.

:[[Redeco]]s of all six Constructicons were released individually as part of the first assortments of ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' products. The first—and seemingly more common—versions were yellow like the previous European release, but had some minor color, deco and tooling differences. In Bonecrusher's case, the purple plastic parts were slightly brighter, the canopy was yellow (like on the ''first'' European yellow version and the later variant of the 1992 version), he featured a ''Generation 2''-style Decepticon [[insignia|logo]] and the word "DECEPTICON" [[tampograph]]ed on the inside of his bulldozer shovel, and—most importantly—like all the ''Generation 2'' Constructicons, Bonecrusher came with the extra parts necessary to form Devastator again.

:A later and seemingly less common run changed the yellow plastics to rich orange. It has been rumored that this release was only available in [[KB Toys]] stores, but not verified.

:Bonecrusher was reissued in a giftset with his Constructicon teammates as part of [[TakaraTomy]]'s ''[[Transformers Encore|Encore]]'' line. Apparently cast from a newly created mold, given the presence of a Tomy copyright stamp rather than the original Hasbro/Takara one, Bonecrusher features a newly added tab to his arm to hold him together more securely in vehicle mode.

In addition to the mold changes of the 2011 version, Bonecrusher is also a slightly different color and features more cartoon-accurate paint applications on his face. His projectile launcher / Devastator's lower arm is colored black, instead of purple.

:Takara's Bonecrusher, included in the ''Unite Warriors'' Devastator set, has some deco changes to better match the G1 cartoon. He also includes his classic handgun.

'''Bonecrusher''' finds beauty in rubble-strewn wastelands and longs to transform pretty much any location he happens across into one. Moreover, he makes demolition into a wild performance art. He loves to show off his destructive talents for his fellow Decepticons. Deep down, his destruction is really a perfectionism that cannot tolerate anything that he views as flawed, which includes the [[Autobot]]s. [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] values the fear and destruction Bonecrusher creates as much as the resources harvested in his wake. Now if he could just refrain from destroying buildings the Decepticons actually need...

Bonecrusher combines with his fellow Constructicons to form [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]].

Millions of years ago on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], Bonecrusher and the Constructicons built [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Megatron]]. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 4}} At the time Megatron was building his army, they had also constructed [[Crystal City]] and were friends with [[Omega Supreme (G1)|Omega Supreme]]. Megatron, wanting their constructicons skills on his side, reprogrammed them to serve him using the [[Robo-Smasher]]. {{storylink|The Secret of Omega Supreme (episode)|The Secret of Omega Supreme}}

Megatron built Bonecrusher, who, with his fellow [[Constructicon (G1)|Constructicons]], would attempt to deal with [[Teletraan I (G1)|Teletraan I]], only to be thwarted by the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]]. Bonecrusher would then reveal the Constructicons' ability to combine by forming [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]], which was blasted by [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]] into lava. {{storylink|Heavy Metal War}} Bonecrusher and the other Constructicons would later appear in [[New York City]], bringing down the [[Empire State Building]] and then re-erecting it as a Cybertronian fortress. {{storylink|City of Steel (episode)|City of Steel}} He later helped build the [[Transfixatron]]. Before a second Constructicon device could be used to destroy the powerless Autobots stuck in [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]], they were rescued and Bonecrusher and the other Constructicons were defeated by the Transfixatron. {{storylink|The Autobot Run}} While trying to dig to the [[Earth's core]], Bonecrusher got a [[dominator disc]] stuck on him so that when he helped form Devastator, the combiner was brought under Autobot control. After Devastator sealed the Decepticons in a tunnel and helped rebuild some of the Autobot base, Megatron then revealed he knew of the Autobot plan to take control of the Constructicons, and deactivated the disks. After a fight for control, Bonecrusher, as Devastator, goes berserk. After a joint Autobot/Decepticon effort, Devastator was brought under Decepticon control and helped to save the day. {{storylink|The Core}}

[[File:SecretOmegaSupreme Omega Bonecrusher.jpg|upright=1.1|thumb|"And I'm worried about the boner he's readying for '''you!'''"]]
Bonecrusher, led by Scrapper, convinced [[Hoist (G1)|Hoist]] and [[Grapple (G1)|Grapple]] that they wanted to aid the two Autobots in a construction project to build a solar tower. (It went poorly at first, and Bonecrusher offering to offline the two Autobots did not help.) While building the tower, they explained to Megatron (at gunpoint) that they were still loyal to him, and once the tower was built, they would turn it over to him. Once the tower is complete, they did just that. ...Then he and the other Constructicons, as Devastator, wrecked it. {{storylink|The Master Builders (episode)|The Master Builders}} He was later owned by the Autobots. {{storylink|Megatron's Master Plan, Part 2}} Still later, he met with his old friend Omega Supreme, who wasn't very happy. {{storylink|The Secret of Omega Supreme (episode)|The Secret of Omega Supreme}} Even later, he helped build a pointless maze. {{storylink|Triple Takeover}} Even ''more'' later, as part of Devastator, he was owned by [[Bruticus (G1)|Bruticus]]. {{storylink|Starscream's Brigade}}

Present at the [[Battle of Autobot City]], Bonecrusher helped to breach the Autobot defenses as part of Devastator, who withstood an Autobot attack. After a second attack by the Dinobots, Bonecrusher was not seen again until the confrontation on [[Astrotrain (G1)|Astrotrain]] over who should lead the Decepticons. (And who should be thrown out of the shuttle.) Though [[Rumble (G1)|Rumble]] and [[Frenzy (G1)|Frenzy]] prevented Devastator from proving his superiority, Bonecrusher and the other Constructicons made it back to Cybertron and were present for Starscream's coronation as [[Decepticon leader]]. After a fanfare and the death of Starscream at the hands (or cannon) of [[Galvatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Galvatron]], Bonecrusher and his fellow surviving Decepticons joined in the hunt for the Autobot Matrix of Leadership. {{storylink|The Transformers: The Movie}}

Bonecrusher and the other Constructicons started constructing Trypticon on a small island paradise, destroying the flora and fauna in the process. When the Autobots found out, they sent [[Superion (G1)|Superion]] to put a stop to them, and the Constructicons responded by forming Devastator. Unfortunately, the newly activated Trypticon, who wanted the challenge of fighting Superion by himself, grabbed Devastator and threw him into the ocean. After all was said and done, the Autobots put Bonecrusher and the rest of the Constructicons to work, restoring the island to its former natural splendor. {{storylink|Fight!

The fight was fairly evenly matched until Galvatron called up his ace-in-the-hole, [[Predaking (G1)|Predaking]], whose power was unmatched by any of the Autobots... except for the [[Omnibot (G1)|Omnibots]], who essentially tied Predaking's shoelaces together until he fell over, straight into Devastator and his chums, sending them all toppling to the ground and knocking them to bits. {{storylink|The Story of Super Robot Lifeforms: The Transformers issue 5|The Story of Super Robot Lifeforms: The Transformers #5}}

When the Decepticons learned of the Scramble City project being secretly assembled by the Autobots, Megatron sent his henchmen to interfere with their work. The Constructicons joined Starscream and his flying partners in an attack on the Autobots. Optimus Prime and a task force of Autobots held their position until Bonecrusher and the Constructicons inevitably joined forces into Devastator.

[[File:Constructiconsbornmarvel.jpg|upright=1.1|thumb|left|"It is well that I am ready to trick him into '''''his''''' boner!"]]
Shortly after assuming control of the Decepticons, [[Shockwave (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Shockwave]] raided a [[Blackrock Aerospace Assembly Plant Number One|Blackrock Aerospace Assembly Plant]] in order to co-opt its construction facilities for his own purposes. Using the purloined power of his prisoner, [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Optimus Prime]], Shockwave fed energy from the [[Matrix of Leadership|Creation Matrix]] into the brain modules of his new creations — Bonecrusher and the Constructicons. Their first mission was to work with [[Soundwave (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Soundwave]] and convert a human radio-telescope into a broadcasting antenna for contacting their homeworld of Cybertron. The Constructicons paused at a local truck stop to salvage the trucks and other machinery to use as raw materials in their project, earning them the wrath of the mighty [[Bomber Bill]], trucker extraordinaire. At the site of the radio-telescope, the Constructicons began their work: Bonecrusher contributed to the DE-struction part of the project, smashing the trucks into pieces so that his more artistically-inclined partners could re-engineer them as necessary. As Bomber Bill arrived with a cavalry of Autobots, Soundwave instructed the Constructicons to combine into the mighty Devastator and crush the opposition. Devastator's limited processing ability kept him from efficiently targeting multiple opponents, however, giving Bomber Bill and [[Huffer (G1)|Huffer]] a chance to damage the antenna. Soundwave and the Constructicons were forced into a retreat. {{storylink|The Next Best Thing to Being There!}}

''Bonecrusher and his comrades spent the next several months working on their gestalt coordination, refining Devastator to act as a smooth (if slow) killing machine. Their next mission was to capture the human known as [[Buster Witwicky (G1)|Buster Witwicky]], who had come to Shockwave's attention. They found him attending a demolition derby in Oregon, and Bonecrusher quickly remarked that ''"this looks like my sort'a place!"'' Their kidnapping attempt was interrupted by Buster's human friends, [[Ironhide (G1)|Ironhide]] and the Autobots. Faced with the enemy, Bonecrusher and the Constructicons combined into Devastator once more, and fought off the Autobots while Soundwave performed a mind-scan on Buster. After uncovering some valuable information, Soundwave called off the attack, and the Constructicons returned to base.'' {{storylink|Devastation Derby!}}

[[File:Bonecrusher sludge in the national interest.jpg|thumb|right|100px|"Gotham City will rue the day it mentioned the word boner!"]]
The next [[Wyoming base|Decepticon base of operations]] was a coal strip mine in the Powder River Basin of eastern Wyoming, chosen rather ad hoc when [[Megatron (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Megatron]] raided the location and then began squatting there after driving off the Autobots and American military. Shockwave summoned the Constructicons to fortify their position more strategically, and the Decepticon engineers installed a ring of defensive weapons and barriers around the rim of the basin. They also lent their strength as Devastator to the defenses, and drove off an Autobot strike unit soon after arriving in Wyoming. {{storylink|Command Performances!}}

''Bonecrusher and the Constructicons remained available for the Decepticon cause. On one occasion, they battled the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]] alongside Megatron and Soundwave. Bonecrusher and [[Long Haul (G1)|Long Haul]] double-teamed [[Sludge (G1)|Sludge]], and eventually brought him down with sheer firepower. As he was celebrating his victory, however, Bonecrusher was blindsided by the mechanoid known as [[Centurion (Marvel)|Centurion]], and sent flying. The tide of battle turned, and the Decepticons soon abandoned their skirmish with the Dinobots.'' {{storylink|In the National Interest}} ''On another occasion, the future Decepticon known as [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]] forced Bonecrusher and the Constructicons into building a massive energy cannon for his plans.'' {{storylink|Target: 2006}}

Bonecrusher and the other Constructicons were called upon to defend the Decepticons' [[Club Con|base in the Florida Keys]] from a joint attack by [[G.I. Joe (team)|G.I. Joe]], [[Cobra]], and the Autobots. Forming Devastator once again, they brawled with [[Superion (G1)|Superion]] until a blast from Superion's rifle caused a malfunction in Devastator's coupling links and he broke up into his components. {{storylink|...All Fall Down!}}

Sometime later, after [[Ratbat (G1)|Ratbat]] assumed command of the Decepticons, he had the Constructicons raid a building site in downtown [[Atlanta]], [[Georgia]] for raw materials such as girders. {{storylink|Toy Soldiers!}} Later, when the Decepticons staged an all-out attack on the Autobots of the Ark and ''[[Steelhaven (G1)|Steelhaven]]'', who had landed on the moon to settle a personal dispute. While the majority of the Decepticon forces kept the Autobots busy with mayhem and carnage, Bonecrusher led the Constructicons in a raid on the Ark itself, recovering the deactivated bodies of several of their fellow Decepticons, captured months earlier while battling [[Omega Supreme (G1)|Omega Supreme]]. {{storylink|Totaled!}}

Under the guise of the [[Global Corporation]], Bonecrusher and his fellow Constructicons created sophisticated buildings all around the world. Within each building, however, was hidden a mechanism that would trap underground all within the structure. When the scheme was put into motion and the Autobots responded with an attack, Bonecrusher and his fellow Contructicons merged to become The Devastator. Though in this form, the Constructicons were able to overpower the Autobots, that changed when the Dinobots arrived. After Swoop had butchered the rest of the Constructicons, Bonecrusher was fused into a helpless mess with Long Haul by Grapple's welder rifle. {{storylink|Battle for Earth}}

[[File:Constructicons-ASW.jpeg|thumb|upright=1.1]]
As Devastator, Bonecrusher and the other Constructicons stumbled upon [[Sunstreaker (G1)|Sunstreaker]] admiring his reflection in the wilderness, and managed to capture the vain Autobot. The group revealed their individual components to their prisoner once he was safely locked up within Decepticon headquarters. They rejoined forces to combat an Autobot rescue party that attempted to storm Decepticon base, and captured [[Slag (G1)|Slag]], [[Sludge (G1)|Sludge]] and [[Sideswipe (G1)|Sideswipe]] as well, putting them in Sunstreaker's cell. Pleased with the development, Megatron informed Hook that he would be charged in rebuilding the captured Autobots as Decepticons. Bonecrusher interjected, hoping to be the one to be allowed to destroy the Autobts prior to their reconstruction. The two Constructicons began to squabble, prompting Megatron to break up the fight by promising them each an Autobot to destroy. The opportunity never came, however, as the Constructicons were once more prompted to combine into Devastator to contemplate an Autobot peace offering; a life-sized statue of the gestalt! The peace offering turned out to be an Autobot ruse, and reinforcement burst forth from within the statue. The Autobots forced Devastator to break up into his component pieces by thoroughly dividing his attention, and so Bonecrusher joined the fight against the Autobots as an individual. The Decepticons ultimately lost the battle to the Autobots. {{storylink|The Autobots' Secret Weapon}}

When the Decepticons learned that the Autobots had long ago lost a large shipment of Energon cubes at the Ark's original crash site, Galvatron ordered them to head to Mt. St. Hillary to uncover it. There, Bonecrusher and Scrapper used their alternate modes to dig up the site. As usual, Bonecrusher wound up buried in his own rubble. When the Autobots inevitably showed themselves, Bonecrusher joined the other Decepticons in fighting them. The brawl ended when Starscream scarfed down all of the Energon, and proceeded to pick a fight with Galvatron. {{storylink|The Lost Treasure of Cybertron}}

===Autobot Alert!===
{{notemultipath}}
In one possible scenario, the Constructicons were responsible for building the Decepticons’ command centre in the evil robots’ latest plot of taking over the Earth. They also were responsible for stocking Astrotrain with explosives and weapons before the Decepticon shuttle launched into space to further sabotage Earth’s satellites.

In a different possible scenario, the Constructicons joined Galvatron on his campaign to retrieve an ancient cybertite sphere containing the secret of an ancient Autobot power-booster. Discovering that the sphere was within a sunken ship off the California coast, the Constructicons merged into Devastator in order to retrieve it. {{storylink|Autobot Alert!}}

[[File:Bonecrusher mixmaster war within 5-13-5.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.7|Collection of the greatest boners of history.]]
Nine million years ago, Bonecrusher and the Constructicons helped Megatron create his world engine under [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]], the means by which he would turn all of Cybertron into a mobile juggernaut, bringing his tyrannical message of "peace" to the galaxy at large. {{storylink|The War Within issue 5|The War Within #5}} Construction was interrupted by [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]] and his commando unit, however, and the engine was disabled. {{storylink|The War Within issue 6|The War Within #6}}

During the war, the Constructicons discovered a new means of transformation and combination, turning themselves into the awesome and terrifying Devastator. The technology was appropriated by the Autobots, and soon a half-dozen or so titanic combiners were in action on both sides. Their destructive potential proved to be too much for Cybertron's fragile mantle to handle, and so by the time of the Dark Ages the [[Crisis Intervention Accord]] set down new rules of warfare, prohibiting the combiner teams from operating together on any faction. They could remain an unaligned unit or join separate factions, but the risk of combiner warfare was too great. Unfortunately, Bonecrusher and the Constructicons eventually broke that agreement, allying themselves and Devastator with [[Ratbat (G1)|Ratbat]]'s [[Ultracon]] faction. {{storylink|Escalation}} Their resulting battle with the unaligned [[Defensor (G1)|Defensor]] devastated the [[Tagan Heights]] region of Cybertron, and very nearly triggered a chain reaction that would have destroyed the entire planet. Thankfully, the Constructicons were defeated after the Protectobots electrocuted them. {{storylink|Devastation}}

Although they were apparently not part of the original crew of the [[Nemesis (G1)|Nemesis]], the Constructicons somehow became involved in the Autobot / Decepticon skirmish on Earth in the 1980s. Like the other Decepticons, they were captured and detained by the Autobots after roughly a decade of war, and would have been transported back to Cybertron if not for the sabotage of the [[Ark II]]. Bonecrusher and many other Decepticons were taken in by the human mercenary [[Lazarus]], who attempted to reprogram their deactivated forms into remote-controlled weapons of mass destruction. He failed. Megatron regained control of his senses in 2002, and reawakened the Decepticons under Lazarus' dominion. {{storylink|Prime Directive issue 4|Prime Directive #4}} Combined as Devastator, Bonecrusher and the Constructicons caused significant damage to the city of [[San Francisco]] before being brought down by [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] himself. {{storylink|Prime Directive issue 5|Prime Directive #5}}

''After being repaired over the following months, Bonecrusher and the Constructicons were among the first Decepticons to swear fealty to [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]] after Megatron vanished in Tokyo in a flash of light. Merged as Devastator, they helped him declare his intentions in a desert battle with [[Sideswipe (G1)|Sideswipe]] and the Air Force, and then moved on to Las Vegas. Starscream's plan was to convince Sin City's population to willingly accept him and the Decepticons as their new lords and masters. As part of the deception, he declared anyone not interested in his new order was free to leave the city, although the wily Decepticon cautioned that he could not protect them from anything they encountered beyond those limits. Bonecrusher was stationed at the city limits to terrorize anyone who attempted to flee, using cloaking technology and sleight-of-hand tricks to convince exiting motorists that the Constructicon was protecting them from some unseen but deadly force. Bonecrusher's tricks successfully convinced [[Paul Whitmore|Paul]] and [[Janie Whitmore]] to turn back to Las Vegas, spreading word of the dangers they faced and the "aid" the Decepticon gave them.''

''When [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]], [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]] and [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]] invaded the city with a small military unit, the Constructicons came out to greet them. Bonecrusher was the first to battle Bumblebee and Prowl, and was infuriated when they made "left arm" jokes at his expense (apparently he's sensitive about being Devastator's southpaw). His cezium steel armor enabled Bonecrusher to stand up to the punishment both Autobots were dishing out, and the Constructicon was little more than dazed after Prowl expended his entire ammunition storage on Bonecrusher. Although he was eventually weakened by their combined assault, Bonecrusher held his own against both Autobots long enough for his fellow Constructicons to reach the site of the battle. Unfortunately for the Decepticons, Grimlock arrived just then as well. The Constructicons were forced to retreat before the Dinobot and his secret army of human-piloted assault helicopters. Bonecrusher's injuries were significant enough that Devastator's left arm appeared limp and nearly useless in another battle a few hours later. {{storylink|Transformers: Hardwired|Hardwired}}''

''Megatron eventually returned to Earth, but Bonecrusher and the Constructicons owed Starscream for reconstructing them, and so remained loyal to him when the Decepticons split into two factions. Of course, this only meant they were among the first to be captured by the [[keeper (species)|Keepers]] when those aliens took over Las Vegas and turned Starscream into their puppet. Trapped behind an impenetrable force dome, Bonecrusher and the Constructicons attempted to batter their way out as Devastator using sheer brute force, until [[Skywarp (G1)|Skywarp]] offered a better idea. Reconverting into their separate modes, the Constructicons dug a tunnel out beneath the force field, enabling Starscream's faction to join the final battle against the Keepers. Acting as Devastator, they were too far away from Optimus Prime and his [[Matrix of Leadership|Matrix]]-induced force shield when the American nuclear assault was dropped on the Keepers, and were blasted into pieces. {{storylink|Transformers: Annihilation|Annihilation}}''

''The nuclear blast left Devastator fused into his singular [[robot mode]], leaving him unable to split back into Bonecrusher and his other components. Eventually, Devastator fell into the Void along with [[Omega Sentinel (G1)|Omega Sentinel]] in the final conflict with the Keepers, and was left in stasis lock, drifting in the vacuum of space, after the Sentinel destroyed the Keepers' power source and shattered the Void back into real space-time. The starship ''[[Bounty]]'', on a secret space mission from Earth, came across Devastator's remains and planned to tow him back to Earth. {{storylink|Transformers: Fusion|Fusion}}''

After Ratbat and the [[Senate]] began discontinuing all manual labor opportunities on Cybertron, automating the work formerly performed by Cybertronians, Bonecrusher and his construction crew found themselves out of a job. Searching for new challenges, these "Constructicons" hooked up with [[Megatron (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Megatron]] and the underground pit-fighting ring in [[Kaon (polity)|Kaon]]. Since the combat was illegal, the gladiators could not operate out of a single arena at a set location: too much risk of being raided. Instead, the Constructicons were commissioned to create a new arena before each fight at a randomly chosen location. Using a combination of demolition, material fabrication, and surgically-skilled construction engineering, Bonecrusher and the Constructicons would convert any and all scrap available into into a new arena for the gladiators and crowd to occupy. {{storylink|Megatron Origin issue 2|Megatron Origin #2}} They also worked behind the scenes at the arena, repairing and upgrading damaged fighters. {{storylink|Megatron Origin issue 3|Megatron Origin #3}} When Megatron's insurrection began, Bonecrusher and [[Mixmaster (G1)|Mixmaster]] headed into the streets of Kaon to kill any opposition. {{storylink|Megatron Origin issue 4|Megatron Origin #4}}

When Megatron joined forces with [[Optimus Prime (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Orion Pax]]'s troops to overthrow [[Zeta Prime (G1)|Zeta Prime]], Bonecrusher participated in their combined assault on the [[Citadel]]. {{storylink|Overthrown}} After Megatron's betrayal of Orion, the Constructions watched Orion, now Optimus Prime, broadcast a message asking the people of Cybertron to help him fight the Decepticons. {{storylink|Broadcast}} As the war began in earnest between the Autobots and Decepticons, the Constructicons remained loyal followers of Megatron. At one point they were stationed on [[Varas Centralus]] alongside [[Swindle (G1)|Swindle]] and [[Sky-Byte (G2)|Sky-Byte]], where they committed some atrocity that was enough to cause Sky-Byte to abandon the Decepticon cause. {{storylink|A Better Tomorrow}}

Megatron would later use [[space bridge]] technology built into in his new body to summon Bonecrusher and the rest of the Decepticons to him on Cybertron. To battle the Autobots, Bonecrusher and the other Constructions combined into Devastator, but were defeated since the combiner's right leg was paralyzed due to combining with a dead [[Scrapper (G1)|Scrapper]]. They were soon mind-controlled by [[D-Void]] (via [[Galvatron (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Galvatron]]) into combining with Galvatron's [[Sweep (G1)|Sweep]] army and forming [[Deceptigod|a huge monster]]. {{storylink|Chaos Part Three: Kings|Kings}} Following the blasting apart of the monstrosity by Megatron and D-Void's defeat, the weakened Decepticons, including Bonecrusher, were taken captive by the Autobots, who kept them under control by planting explosive [[Inhibitor/deterrence chip|I/D chip]]s in their heads. {{storylink|The Autonomy Lesson (issue)|The Autonomy Lesson}}

Regardless, Bonecrusher and some other Constructicons helped the Autobots dig out victims of a mysterious explosion on Cybertron's surface. {{storylink|Stick Together}} Bonecrusher later labored in a Decepticon factory before joining forces with [[Bombshell (G1)|Bombshell]], who was being chased by [[Prowl (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Prowl]]. The Constructicons beat up [[Blurr (G1)|Blurr]] and fought with [[Arcee (G1)|Arcee]] until Prowl showed up, threatening to detonate their I/D chips. They just taunted him since Ratbat had disabled their chips, but Prowl used a secret passcode to override the disabling, killing all the Constructicons... {{storylink|Devisive}}

...or so it seemed. In actual fact, [[Bombshell (G1)|Bombshell]] was controlling Prowl using a [[cerebro-shell]], and recovered the Constructicons to the [[Black Room]], where they were fully repaired and rebuilt according to Megatron's plan to form a new, modular version of Devastator, with the still-controlled Prowl as the first head. {{storylink|Before the Dawn}} After Bombshell was killed by Arcee, Devastator shut down briefly, before going on an uncontrolled rampage when Prowl bonded with the Constructicons over their shared hatred of [[Spike Witwicky (G1)|Spike Witwicky]]. This lasted until [[Ironhide (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Ironhide]] managed to break through to Prowl, meaning he wrestled enough control to cause Devastator to tear off his own head, spontaneously un-combining the gestalt. Shortly afterwards, Megatron attempted to reform the combiner, this time with himself as its head, but the well-timed activation of a stasis field secretly built into the Decepticon leader's spark casing by the late Wheeljack stopped the process in its tracks. Prowl then attempted to arrest the Constructicons, but a revolt from the "[[NAIL]]"s and an opportunistic power-grab by Starscream led to the Autobot and Decepticon armies both being thrown out of Iacon instead. {{storylink|Plan for Everything}}

Impressed by the terrible things they'd seen in Prowl's mind during their combination, the Constructicons joined up with the Autobots in the wilderness and had a brief scuffle with the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]] before they explained themselves and were accepted into the Autobot camp. After ''another'' scuffle, this time with Arcee, the team put their differences aside to go drinking the Dinobots. {{storylink|Second Exodus}}

With his fellow Decepticons, Bonecrusher fell under the thrall of an [[Elder God]] in [[1888]]. When [[Ironhide (G1)|Ironhide]] went to investigate the possessed town of [[Port Cenotaph]], Bonecrusher confronted him and pulled the [[Autobot]] over to the Elder God's control. {{Storylink|Infestation 2: The Transformers issue 1|Infestation 2: The Transformers #1}} He soon defended the town against an international fleet. The Autobots arrived to deal with the Elder God and [[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack]], noting that this was where Bonecrusher had been all along, cut him in half. {{Storylink|Infestation 2: The Transformers issue 2|Infestation 2: The Transformers #2}}

Bonecrusher and the other Constructicons formed Devastator to attack the [[G.I. Joe (team)|G.I. Joe]] starship ''[[Defiant (G.I. Joe)|Defiant]]'', successfully destroying one of its two modules. Devastator was blown back into his components when [[Wild Bill]] rammed the other module straight into him. {{storylink|Targetmasters (issue)|Targetmasters}} Bonecrusher later participated in the [[Decepticon]]/[[Cobra]] attack on [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]]. {{storylink|Everybody Hates Metroplex}}

==Commercial appearances==
[[File:G2BonecrusherCommercial.jpg|thumb|upright|"This emphasis on boners has given me an idea for a new adventure in crime!"]]
*Bonecrusher and his teammates were masquerading as construction vehicles, when they suddenly decided to horrify their human operators by revealing their true nature. As their human drivers bailed out and fled, the team combined into Devastator, who crashed his fists together, creating a surge of energy that crackled all the way through his gigantic body. {{storylink|Commercial/Generation 1#Constructicons|Constructicons commercial}}
*Causing chaos at a construction site, the Constructicons merged into Devastator, who created a huge fissure by stabbing a girder into the ground. The Dinobots emerged from the crevasse, and Grimlock seized the combiner's leg with his jaws and threw the combiner aside. {{storylink|Commercial/Generation 2#Constructicons and Dinobots|Generation Constructicons and Dinobots commercial}}

==Games==
===3D Battle-Card Game===
Bonecrusher serves under [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]] as one of his Decepticon soldiers, battling [[Optimus Primal]]'s many Autobot allies in what might possibly have been an inter-universe battle. {{storylink|3D Battle-Card Game#Energon Wars expansion|Energon Wars Expansion Set}}

===''Transformers Legends''===
At some point [[Omega Supreme (G1)|Omega Supreme]] was friends with the Constructicons, but they had a falling out. {{storylink|The Secret of Omega Supreme (Legends)|The Secret of Omega Supreme}}

While Megatron kept Optimus busy, Bonecrusher led a Constructicon team to attempt to infiltrate the Autobot base and strike directly at [[Teletraan I (G1)|Teletraan I]]. They mowed through [[Ironhide (G1)|Ironhide]]'s initial attempt at defenses. {{storylink|Heavy Metal War - Part 1}} Bonecrusher took part in the battle of Autobot City, but was forced to retreat after Megatron's defeat at the hands of Optimus Prime. {{storylink|The Battle for Autobot City}}

The Decepticon team took over an asteroid orbiting Earth, however when Omega Supreme got wind of it, he launched a massive attack and Bonecrusher was among the casualties. {{storylink|The Secret of Omega Supreme (Legends)|The Secret of Omega Supreme}}

[[File:Bonecrusher toy.jpg|upright=1.1|thumb|"You were so busy forcing '''''me''''' into a boner, you forgot you were committing one yourself!"]]
*'''Bonecrusher''' (Constructicon, [[1985]]/[[1986]])
**''Team ID number'': '''1'''
**''Japanese ID number'': '''36'''
**''Accessories:'' [[Laser pistol]], Devastator's left fist, "target shooter" projectile launcher, [[concussion weapon|"rotor blade"]] projectile.

:Bonecrusher was originally from [[TakaraTomy|Takara]]'s [[Pre-Transformer]]s ''[[Diaclone]]'' toyline, as Construction Vehicle Robot No.1 Bulldozer. Bonecrusher transforms into a bright green bulldozer, which can also form an "attack bulldozer" mode by attaching the "target shooter" (loaded with the "rotor blade" projectile) onto the posts on the hood of his [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]].

:He can combine with his fellow Constructicons to form [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]], functioning as the left arm.

:On the European continent, Bonecrusher was initially released individually alongside the other Constructicons by Hasbro's subsidiary [[Milton Bradley]] (MB) in 1985.<ref name="mbredtr">[http://www.tf-1.com/articles/eurous/mb_template.html "Milton Bradley and the red TF Tracks"] at TF-1.com.</ref><ref name="mbcollection">[http://20thcenturytoycollector.com/transformers/mb-transformers-collection/ "MB Transformers Collection"] at 20th Century Toy Collector.</ref> In 1986, Bonecrusher and the other Constructicons were re-released in Europe, albeit this time in "Hasbro"-branded packaging (but manufactured by [[Joustra]]). The main difference with all other releases thus far was that the Constructicons' main color was now ''yellow'' instead of green.<ref name="frenchcon">[http://tfsource.com/blog/french-connection/ "French Connection"] at the TF Source blog.</ref><ref name="europestrange">[http://tfsource.com/blog/europes-strangest-attractions/ "Europe's Strangest Attractions"] at the TF Scource blog.</ref><ref name="frenchconst">[http://www.fredsworkshop.com/vjap6.html "French TFs: G1 Yellow Constructicons"] at Fred's Workshop.</ref> These are ''not'' to be confused with the later, ''non''-combining yellow European Constructicons, nor with the yellow ''Generation 2'' Constructicons (see below for both).

*'''Devastator''' (Giftset, 1985)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''37'''

:Bonecrusher was also available as part of the Devastator gift set that was available in several markets, including the United States and Japan. Rumors are that an MB-branded Devastator giftset was also released in continental Europe, but thus far no packaged sample has surfaced.<ref name="mbcollection"/>
{{-}}

*'''Constructicon''' (Constructicon, [[1992]])
**''Accessories:'' Laser pistol

:Another yellow European exclusive version of Scavenger, in colors very similar to the previous yellow European release. The main difference was that this version, just like the other Constructicons, came with no Devastator parts. This toy was also not officially named, as he came on a standardized card also used by the other Constructicons.

:There were two [[variant]]s of this Bonecrusher: The initial production run had his canopy cast in gray plastic (a color choice unique to this version), whereas the other one had a yellow canopy like the previous European yellow Bonecrusher.<ref name="eurovar">[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-toy-discussion/595256-1992-european-yellow-constructicons-variant.html "1992 European Yellow Constructicons Variant"] at TFW2005.</ref>

===''Generation 2''===
*'''Bonecrusher''' (Constructicon, [[1993]])
**''Team ID number'': '''1'''
**''Accessories:'' Laser pistol, Devastator's left fist, "target shooter" projectile launcher, "rotor blade" projectile.

:[[Redeco]]s of all six Constructicons were released individually as part of the first assortments of ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' products. The first—and seemingly more common—versions were yellow like the previous European release, but had some minor color, deco and tooling differences. In Bonecrusher's case, the purple plastic parts were slightly brighter, the canopy was yellow (like on the ''first'' European yellow version and the later variant of the 1992 version), he featured a ''Generation 2''-style Decepticon [[insignia|logo]] and the word "DECEPTICON" [[tampograph]]ed on the inside of his bulldozer shovel, and—most importantly—like all the ''Generation 2'' Constructicons, Bonecrusher came with the extra parts necessary to form Devastator again.

:A later and seemingly less common run changed the yellow plastics to rich orange. It has been rumored that this release was only available in [[KB Toys]] stores, but not verified.

:Bonecrusher is one of the toys included in this [[Walmart]] [[exclusive]] gift pack, a redeco of the ''[[Transformers: Energon (toyline)|Energon]]'' [[Bonecrusher (Energon)|Bonecrusher]] and [[Sledge (Energon)|Sledge]] mold. He transforms into a wheeled front-end loader and can form a leg or arm to any ''Energon''-series "[[Powerlinx]] [[Combiner]]" super robot, though his nominal placement is as the right arm of Devastator.

:This sculpt was also used to make [[Scrapper (G1)|Scrapper]] from the same gift pack.

*'''Devastator''' (reissue giftset, [[2011]])
**''ID number:'' '''20'''
**''Accessories:'' Laser pistol, Devastator's left fist, "target shooter" projectile launcher, "rotor blade" projectile.
:Bonecrusher was reissued in a giftset with his Constructicon teammates as part of [[TakaraTomy]]'s ''[[Transformers Encore|Encore]]'' line. Apparently cast from a newly created mold, given the presence of a Tomy copyright stamp rather than the original Hasbro/Takara one, Bonecrusher features a newly added tab to his arm to hold him together more securely in vehicle mode.

*'''Devastator''' (reissue giftset, [[2013]])
**''ID number:'' '''20A'''
**''Accessories:'' Laser pistol, Devastator's left fist, "target shooter" projectile launcher, "rotor blade" projectile.
:Bonecrusher was ''again'' reissued in a giftset in 2013 as part of [[TakaraTomy]]'s ''[[Transformers Encore|Encore]]'' line, this time in a more 'anime accurate' color scheme. In addition to the mold changes of the 2011 version, Bonecrusher is also a slightly different color and features more cartoon-accurate paint applications on his face. His projectile launcher / Devastator's lower arm is colored black, instead of purple.

The packaging of this set is designed to evoke both Bonecrusher's shovel and Devastator's head, and its interior is designed to resemble the title image of Devastator on his wiki page.

:In the U.S., this set (also referred to as "Devastator Special Edition" in a Hasbro press release) was exclusive to the [[Hasbro Toy Shop]] website and the Hasbro Toy Shop booth at [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2015. In Asia, it was also available at Animation-Comic-Game Hong Kong 2015 and subsequently stocked by Toys"R"Us Hong Kong.

:Takara's Bonecrusher, included in the ''Unite Warriors'' Devastator set, has some deco changes to better match the G1 cartoon. He also includes his classic handgun. In addition, his knees were also [[retool]]ed. Instead of them being on ball joints, they are now on a swivel joint connected to a mushroom peg, providing better articulation. This change was also made to [[Scavenger (G1)|Scavenger]].
