Power Pack: Kre-o Transformers section has been updated...

'''''ROBLOX''''' is a Massively Multiplayer Online Social Hangout/Game Developing Engine released in 2005/2006 that allows its users to design and build a variety of games created by its users. It also looks a bit like Virtual Lego.

==Events==
Roblox has run 2 events promoting the Transformers brand, consisting of 2 games, 5 hats and 3 gear items (Which are basically virtual toys, despite them being useless now-a-days)
===Transformers Prime===
(Loosely) based on the [[Transformers:_Prime_(cartoon)|Animated Series of the same name]], this game had the objective of collecting 5 coins in either the [[Autobot]] or [[Decepticon]] teams. Doing so will earn you a "Recruit Cap", which is literally just a Baseball Cap with either faction's logo and colors on it.
===KRE-O Transformers===
This event took place in November of 2014 and ended in 2015. The game's objective was to collect your team’s pieces before your opponents collect their own... The teams featured a certain character:
Optimus Prime and Lockdown. The game was and still is shut down for good.
The prizes and items featured Optimus Prime's helmet, Lockdowns helmet, Bumblebee Helmet and a little KRE-O Grimlock. In order to gain your teams helmet your team had to collect the most pieces before the time ran out. Bumblebee's Helmet was gained by losing...

'''Rick Astley''' is a pop singer. According to [[Grimlock (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Grimlock]], people who [[Letters page (Marvel UK)|ask]] for a poster of him to be printed in next week's issue have a sense of humour, which is something he appreciates. {{storylink|Letters page (Marvel UK)|Grim Grams #166}}

Information about Astley and what role, if any, he played in the Cybertronian conflict on Earth, is still fairly sketchy. What is known is that Astley was noted for his steadfast resilience—it was said he would never give up or ever let anyone down, and the idea that he would ever desert his cause was so unlikely as to be laughable. He was also known for a willingness to tell others exactly how he was feeling about a situation, for good or for ill.

After installing a new radio into his body, [[Charlie Watson]] attempted to introduce [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] to music she enjoyed, placing a cassette in his tape deck that began playing one of Astley's songs (Never Gonna Give You Up). Bumblebee clearly did not share her tastes, as he promptly ejected the tape at high speed. {{storylink|Bumblebee (film)|Bumblebee}}

:''Devastator is a [[Decepticon]] [[combiner]] from the [[Generation 1 continuity family|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''

[[File:DevastatorManga1.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|He devastates things. Devastates them right in the mouth.]]
'''Devastator''' is an immensely powerful warrior, and in that sense the combination of the [[Constructicon (G1)|Constructicons]] into a merged being is a huge success. Mentally, on the other hand, he's very much less than the sum of his parts. Devastator's primitive psyche is limited to only the thoughts and actions on which all his components can agree, which results in raging bouts of destructive fury. Given the sheer power Devastator brings to these rages, [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] has no complaints.

As an [[Action Master]], he is [[Action Master partner|partnered]] with [[Scorpulator]].

Normally he is composed of the six robots...

*[[Scrapper (G1)|Scrapper]] (leader) — right leg
*[[Hook (G1)|Hook]] — upper body
*[[Bonecrusher (G1)|Bonecrusher]] — left arm
*[[Long Haul (G1)|Long Haul]] — lower body
*[[Mixmaster (G1)|Mixmaster]] — left leg
*[[Scavenger (G1)|Scavenger]] — right arm

However, in some realities, he goes from being a six-robot combiner to a five-bot one, Hook and Mixmaster being replaced by [[Hightower (Classics)|Hightower]]. In another, he was temporarily rebuilt with a modular design that allows Hook to replace Scrapper as the right leg, and any robot built with a compatible design to form the head, including [[Prowl (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Prowl]] and [[Megatron (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Megatron]]. This configuration was later abandoned in favor of having [[Scoop (G1)|Scoop]] serve as Devastator's new leg, returning the other Constructicons to their original positions. In another timeline, Devastator became a [[Micromaster]] after his surviving components downsized into smaller bodies. In yet another timeline, Devastator is a [[female Transformer]].

===Generation 1 cartoon continuity===
====''The Transformers'' cartoon====
{{voiceactor|[[Arthur Burghardt]] (English), [[Seizō Katō]] (Japanese), [[Yū Shimaka]] (Japanese, ''The Movie'') |[[Zhu Zhunzun]] (Chinese), [[Guillermo Romano]] (Latin-American Spanish, "City Of Steel"), [[Mário Monjardim]] (Brazilian Portuguese), [[Bernd Simon]] (German, ''Five Faces of Darkness, Part 1''), [[Holger Schwiers]] (German, ''The Burden Hardest to Bear''), [[Werner Abrolat]] (German, The Movie TV Dub), [[Gerd Rigauer]] (German, Generation 2 Dub of ''The Core'' & ''The Master Builders''), [[Klaus Kessler]] (German, Generation 2 Dub of ''Triple Takeover''), [[Willy Schäfer]] (German, Generation 2 Dub of ''Starscreams Brigade'')}}

[[File:HeavyMetalWar preparetomeetyourdoom.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.4|"How do you like me now!"]]
The ability to merge into Devastator was given to the Constructicons by [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Megatron]] around nine million years ago, not long after he brainwashed them into his loyal servants using the [[Robosmasher]]. Their former friend [[Omega Supreme (G1)|Omega Supreme]] learned of this new ability first-hand when the Constructicons combined in order to hold Omega fast, so that the Robosmasher could be turned loose on his mind. Omega overpowered Devastator, however, and tore himself free of the Robosmasher, left not subservient to Megatron, but with a burning desire for vengeance against the Constructicons. {{storylink|The Secret of Omega Supreme (episode)|The Secret of Omega Supreme}}

Millions of years later, in [[1984]], having joined Megatron on [[Earth]], the Constructicons were charged with tunnelling under [[Ark (G1)|Autobot Headquarters]] in order to destroy [[Teletraan I]]. Confronted by the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]] and forced back outside the volcano base, the Constructicons realized they were no match for their new opponents, and combined into Devastator to fight back—the first of several battles between the giant and the Dinobots that wound rage through the Transformers' time on Earth. The Dinobots fared poorly in their first meeting with Devastator, but before they fell, their fellow Autobots returned to lend them a hand. [[Hound (G1)|Hound]] distracted Devastator with a hologram of [[Halonix Maximus|a giant Autobot]], allowing [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]] to blast him dead center, causing him to disengage into the separate Constructicons. {{storylink|Heavy Metal War}}

[[File:CityofSteel devastator kong.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|"Puny Autobot stole Devastator's sunglasses!"]]

Devastator was next called into action when the Decepticons were attempting to conquer and recreate [[New York City]], his height and power being required to stop a group of Autobots scaling the [[Empire State Building]], which had been seized by the Decepticons. With Optimus Prime playing Fay Wray to his [[King Kong]], Devastator climbed to the top of the building, fighting off attacks by remote controlled drone helicopters courtesy of [[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack]] along the way. Once Devastator reached the peak, however, Optimus was able to gain remote control of his own dismembered gun-wielding arm, which had been mounted on top of the building as an artillery unit, and blasted Devastator off the building. Plummeting back to street-level, the combiner split apart on impact. {{storylink|City of Steel (episode)|City of Steel}}

After Megatron's [[Transfixatron]] scheme failed, Devastator was unleashed upon the Autobots, and began to mop the floor with them using finger lasers, optical tractor beams, and really heavy fists. The tide turned when Wheeljack and [[Cliffjumper (G1)|Cliffjumper]] used the Transfixatron against Devastator, successfully cancelling out the Constructicons' combined form. {{storylink|The Autobot Run}}

[[File:TheCore dominated devastator.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.4]]
When Megatron attempted to tap the [[Earth's core]] to give the Decepticons a limitless supply of geothermal energy, Devastator defended the project from Autobot attack. To get around the giant combiner, [[Chip Chase]] and Wheeljack created [[dominator disk]]s which forced the Constructicons, and thus Devastator, into serving the Autobots. Unfortunately, Megatron had anticipated this plan and built a device to override the dominator disks. When he turned Devastator against the Autobots, Wheeljack turned up the power on the dominator discs, which only served to fry Devastator's [[Circuit (circuit)|logic circuits]] and sent him berserk, damaging the controls for Megatron's drill just as it was about to pierce the Earth's core. Working together, both factions restored Devastator to Megatron's control and sent him into the ground to take out the drill before it could destroy the Earth. Devastator was surprised by Megatron's cowardly absence after he returned surface, but merely believed Megatron left to plan their next attack. {{storylink|The Core}}

[[File:MasterBuilders devastator under attack.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4]]
Allying with Autobots [[Grapple (G1)|Grapple]] and [[Hoist (G1)|Hoist]] to construct a [[Solar Power Tower]] of Grapple's design that they could then steal for the Decepticons, the Constructicons formed Devastator to install the sun-harnessing sphere component on top of the tower. After the villains took control of the tower, the other Autobots arrived to stop their plan and were confronted by Devastator once again, but managed to fell him by tricking him into collapsing the tower right on top of himself. {{storylink|The Master Builders (episode)|The Master Builders}}

Devastator got his first rematch with the Dinobots when the prehistoric anti-heroes attacked the Constructicons as they were unloading a supply of [[Cybertonium]] from the [[space bridge]]. Scavenger was caught off-guard by the Dinobots before he could join his team-mates in forming Devastator, and the one-armed giant was unable to prevent the Dinobots from transporting themselves to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. Devastator had pulled himself together by the time [[Spike Witwicky (G1)|Spike]] and [[Carly]] arrived, hot on the Dinobots' trail, but Carly's superior driving skills allowed her to navigate around his stomping feet and make it into the bridge as well. Not one of Devastator's better days. {{storylink|Desertion of the Dinobots, Part 1}} [[File:SecretofOmega devastator vs omega.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.4]] Another rematch of a different kind was soon to come when the Constructicons crossed paths with Omega Supreme, but the Autobot titan's rage allowed him to quickly overcome Devastator, burying him beneath an avalanche. {{storylink|The Secret of Omega Supreme (episode)|The Secret of Omega Supreme}}

After the [[Triple Changer]]s temporarily disposed of Megatron and [[Starscream (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Starscream]], the Constructicons threw in with [[Blitzwing (G1)|Blitzwing]] as the new Decepticon leader, building a maze around his base of operations. Unsurprisingly, Blitzwing refused to uphold his part of the bargain and make the Constructicons his leadership partners, so the enraged team formed Devastator to improve their bargaining posture. Megatron soon returned and put Blitzwing and [[Astrotrain (G1)|Astrotrain]] in their place, but Devastator did not fall in line so easily, and continued his attack against them all, forcing all the in-fighting Decepticons to team up to eventually take him down. {{storylink|Triple Takeover}} Betrayals remained the order of the day when Devastator next saw combat, called up by Megatron to deal with another plot by Starscream and his new troops, the [[Combaticon (G1)|Combaticons]]. Starscream had foreseen Devastator's involvement, however, and had given his Combaticons the power to combine into [[Bruticus (G1)|Bruticus]], who soundly defeated the Constructicons' combined form. {{storylink|Starscream's Brigade}}

[[File:TFTM Devastator.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Come on boy, fetch!]]
Devastator played a key role in the [[Battle of Autobot City|battle]] of [[Autobot City (G1)|Autobot City]] in the year 2005, smashing the artillery that lined the city and, after an all-night siege, successfully breaching its walls with his prodigious strength. Before he could progress inside the city itself, though, his old foes the Dinobots arrived to halt his progress, dropping on him from an incoming shuttle. Devastator kicked [[Grimlock (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Grimlock]] out of the air, slammed [[Sludge (G1)|Sludge]] and hurled him aside, but was brought low by [[Slag (G1)|Slag]], who pushed him through a wall. Even from this position, though, Devastator managed to take out [[Swoop (G1)|Swoop]] immediately after, as he dodged an attack from the flying Dinobot and caused some rubble to collapse on him. The battle was brought to an end when Megatron was defeated and the Decepticons retreated from Earth aboard Astrotrain, arguing amongst themselves who would lead them now. Scrapper argued for the Constructicons, since they formed Devastator, "the most powerful robot", and the team proceeded to merge to prove their point, but were shaken apart mid-transformation by [[Rumble (G1)|Rumble]] and [[Frenzy (G1)|Frenzy]]. {{storylink|The Transformers: The Movie}}
{{note|Devastator’s involvement in these events, or events mostly similar, were also chronicled in the comic mini-series “[[Transformers: The Animated Movie]]” and the storybook “[[Transformers the Movie (Ladybird adaptation)|Transformers the Movie]]."}}

[[File:FFoD1 devastator nomnom.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.4]]
Following the battle with [[Unicron]], the defeated Decepticons were exiled to the burnt-out world of [[Chaar]], where they scraped by on diminishing amounst of [[energon]]. When Astrotrain returned from an energy run, the Constructicons fought over the few scraps of energon he brought back, but banded together to form Devastator to make sure Astrotrain couldn't take any for himself (though Bonecrusher lacked the energy to hold on to his teammates). Just as Devastator was about to tuck into his hard-won [[energon cube]], [[Menasor (G1)|Menasor]] hacked him apart with his [[sword]] and drove the Constructicons off. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 1}}

[[File:Broadsidecrushesdevastator.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4]]
In [[2006]], the Constructicons formed Devastator when fighting the Autobots on an asteroid [[Galvatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Galvatron]] was trying to turn into a mobile weapon, but he was flattened when a cunning [[Broadside (G1)|Broadside]] transformed to aircraft carrier mode in mid-air and landed directly on top of him. The battle carried to the planet [[Eurythma]], where Devastator was formed again, but he was quickly blasted apart into his component robots by a precise shot from [[Perceptor (G1)|Perceptor]]. {{storylink|Carnage in C-Minor}} Devastator got a little revenge on Broadside later in the year when he teamed up with [[Predaking (G1)|Predaking]] to confront him in the seas of [[Japan]], though the huge waves the Autobot kicked up when he fell under their laser fire forced the team to separate and withdraw. {{storylink|The Burden Hardest to Bear}}

[[File:FSRLstorypage devastator.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|Now more imposing since Ira Gamagori.]]
Devastator once faced his old nemesis Omega Supreme during the midst of [[:File:StudioOxCybertronBattleCons.jpg|another, larger battle]] on Cybertron. {{storylink|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (story page)|Story page # unknown}} At a presumably later date, Devastator clashed with Optimus Prime, Wheeljack, [[Ironhide (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Ironhide]] and [[Trailbreaker (G1)|Trailbreaker]] in... space, or something? Well, Cybertron was in the background, so it was probably space. The battle was so great that Prime even needed to call in the extra firepower of his [[Combat Deck (G1)|Combat Deck]], which flew through space (or whatever) to join the fight. It was kind of a weird day. {{storylink|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (story page)#Part 6|Story page #6}}

Later, Devastator and Menasor were making trouble for the Autobots, but were dealt with by the Autobots' newest combiner warrior, [[Defensor (G1)|Defensor]]. The [[Protectobot (G1)|Protectobot]] gestalt took Devastator out by launching his right arm—[[Streetwise (G1)|Streetwise]]—at him, who transformed to [[robot mode]] mid-flight and shattered the Decepticon giant's chestplate with his mighty right hand. Devastator seemed suitably horrified. {{storylink|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (story page)#Part 12|Story page #12}} Not nearly as horrified, though, as anyone who gazed upon his and the other Decepticon combiners' [[:File:GestaltTrioTVMagazine.jpg|deformed bodies]] when they later gathered for another major battle. {{storylink|Fight!

When [[Cloud World]]'s [[Megatron (G1)#Cloud|Megatron]] interrupted Megatron's battle with Optimus Prime, he was annoyed and unleashed Devastator on the intruder, only for the combiner to be blasted back into his components by the raging, [[SARA]]-powered Megatron's tank mode. {{storylink|Rampage (Cloud)|Rampage}}

In the late 1980s, in search of a location that could serve as a base for their new battle station [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]], Megatron brought the Constructicons to a utopian island to begin deforestation and construction. When [[Superion (G1)|Superion]] arrived to stop the Decepticons, the Constructicons merged into Devastator and announced that he and Trypticon would take on the Autobot combiner (overkill much?). Trypticon did not approve of sharing his prey, however, and he picked up Devastator and threw him into a nearby rockface, shattering him back into his individual components. {{storylink|Fight!

Discovering the location of the secret factory in which the Autobots were constructing their mobile fortress [[Metroplex (G1)|Scramble City]], Megatron dispatched the Constructicons to destroy it. Confronted by a team of Autobots led by Optimus Prime, they formed Devastator, who quickly took the upper hand in the battle by hurling giant boulders and opening fire with his cannon. Observing Devastator's attack from within Scramble City, [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Ultra Magnus]] ordered the [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbots]] into the fray, and a speedy hail of laser fire from above courtesy of the airborne Autobots soon cut Devastator down to size and had the Constructicons retreated. {{storylink|Scramble City: Mobilization}}

=====''The Story of Super Robot Lifeforms: The Transformers'' manga=====
In the year [[2010]], Devastator participated in a Decepticon attack on the planet Feminia, battling alongside Bruticus and Menasor against their Autobot counterparts Superion, Defensor and Omega Supreme. 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}}

[[File:SOSfromSandra devastator vs defensor.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.4|[[Ryu|SHORYUKEN!]]]]
In [[2011]], Devastator was among the Decepticons who attacked Cybertron in an attempt to seize the planet by taking control of [[Vector Sigma]]. While [[Abominus (G1)|Abominus]] had [[Superion (G1)|Superion]] engaged, Devastator tried to shoot the Autobot combiner in the back, but evil plan was foiled by Optimus Prime, who struck Devastator with a flying jump kick and knocked his blast off-course so that it hit Abominus instead. {{storylink|Four Warriors Come out of the Sky}} As the battle progressed, Devastator joined forces with [[Bruticus (G1)|Bruticus]], [[Menasor (G1)|Menasor]] and Abominus to drive back the Autobot combiner robots, but where then felled themselves by the power of [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Battleship Maximus]]. {{storylink|The Mystery of Planet Master}}

Later, during another major battle on Cybertron, this time over [[cybertonuron]], Devastator was presented with another chance to shoot Superion in the back as he battled Abominus, but yet again shot Abominus instead as the pair broke their grapple at the last moment. {{storylink|Cybertron Is in Grave Danger, Part 2}} This affair concluded with the destruction of Cybertron, so it was on Earth that Devastator next fought, battling [[Defensor (G1)|Defensor]] as part of a Decepticon effort to hijack an Autobot energy shipment to the planet [[Sandra (planet)|Sandra]]. {{storylink|SOS from Planet Sandra}}

Devastator disappeared from view following this; in truth, he and many other Decepticons had secretly withdrawn to the hidden, sub-oceanic continent of [[Lemuria (myth)|Lemuria]], where Devastator oversaw the processing of [[crysmagnetal]] for [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]]'s [[Death Tower]]s. Once the towers were deployed around the world, Devastator joined the entire Decepticon army in battling the Autobots at the North Pole, and fled into space alongside them upon their defeat. {{storylink|The Final Showdown on Earth (Part 2)}}

[[File:Zonemanga devastator magmastorm.jpg|left|thumb|Hot soup!]]
Devastator was among the [[Nine Great Demon Generals]] recruited by the Decepticons' newest [[Emperor of Destruction]], [[Violen Jiger]]. Outfited with new armor and weaponry—incluing a large arm-mounted drill—Devastator was christened the "Technology General" of the group, and sent forth to conquer planets in pursuit of Violen Jiger's goal of creating a [[Decepticon Zone]]. {{storylink|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Zone (story page)|Zone Part 1}}

One element required for Violen Jiger's plan was the mysterious life-giving [[Zodiac]], hidden somewhere on Earth. Devastator accompanied [[King Poseidon]], [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]] and [[Predaking (G1)|Predaking]] to the planet, cutting a swathe of destruction through the cities of Earth as they converged on [[Mount Fuji]], where the Zodiac was believed to rest. Arriving at the mountain, the four generals were confronted by a small army of Autobot Micromasters, which prompted nothing but laughter from the villains... until a rock clonked Devastator on the head, hurled by the newly arrived Autobot [[Powered Master]]s [[Dai Atlas (Zone)|Dai Atlas]] and [[Sonic Bomber]]. As battle erupted, Devastator broke away, using his drill to burrow into the Earth in hopes of locating the subterranean hiding place of the Zodiac, but Dai Atlas pursued him into the planet's depths. There, Dai Atlas used his "awareness of the flow of nature" to summon up a torrent of magma that took Devastator out of the fight. {{storylink|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Zone (manga)|Transformers: Zone}}

The Generals later schooled [[Metrotitan (Zone)|Metrotitan]] and the [[Metrosquad]] in the ways of evil, making them more than formidable foes for the Powered Masters. {{storylink|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Zone (story page)|Zone Part 7}}

Dispatched to Earth with Trypticon, Predaking, and King Poseidon by Violen Jiger to acquire the Zodiac, Devastator destroyed the {{w|World Trade Center}} while searching the planet for the mysterious energy source. By the time Devastator arrived in Japan, Trypticon and Predaking were already embroiled in battle with Dai Atlas and Sonic Bomber; he burst up out of the ground while Dai Atlas was grappling with Predaking and attempted to run him through with his drill, but was stopped by a barrage of missiles from the acting Autobot leader. Predaking ordered him away to seek the Zodiac, and Devastator obeyed, drilling down into the Earth, but Dai Atlas pursued, following Devastator into the subterranean cavern in which the Zodiac rested. Devastator snatched the enigmatic orb and fled, handing it off to King Poseidon before turning back to resume his battle with Dai Atlas, whom the [[Seacon (Masterforce)|Seacon]] combiner had restrained with a chain. Before Devastator could drill a hole through him, though, Dai Atlas shifted to drill tank mode and dragged the Decepticon into a vein of molten magma, which swept him away. {{storylink|Enter the New Supreme Commander, Dai Atlas!}}

After being Robo-Smashed into loyal Decepticons, the Constructicons were upgraded by [[Soundwave (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Soundwave]], at Megatron's orders, using the combiner technology stolen from the conquered warlord [[Deathsaurus (Victory)|Deathsaurus]]. The newborn Devastator joined the Decepticons in an attack on [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]] one week later. {{storylink|Battle Lines, Part 5}} The Autobots attempted to stop him by shooting down a live energy conduit which stuck his right arm, but it barely phased the Decepticon. When they followed that up by shooting him in the knees, however, Devastator toppled over backwards. {{storylink|Battle Lines, Part 6}}

Nine million years later, during the [[Battle of Autobot City]] in 2005, after breaching the city walls, Devastator was confronted by [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Ultra Magnus]] and a small group of Autobots. He invited them to surrender, but they responded by blasting him into his component parts. {{storylink|A Flash Forward}}

The Constructicons formed Devastator to bulldoze through the walls of Guardian City, but after a night's worth of fighting the Decepticons were unable to gain a foothold. When [[Leader-1 (GoBots)|Leader-1]] arrived with reinforcements, Devastator battled [[Guardian (GoBots)|Courageous]] and easily knocked the Guardian superweapon to bits. {{storylink|Echoes and Fragments}}

No sooner had the Constructicons been created—by [[Shockwave (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Shockwave]], on Earth, using the power of the [[Matrix of Leadership|Creation Matrix]] and the facilities of [[Blackrock Aerospace Assembly Plant Number One]]—than they were dispatched on their first mission to construct a massive communications dish that would allow [[Soundwave (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Soundwave]] to broadcast a message to long-lost Cybertron. When the dish came under attack by a squad of Autobots, the Constructicons merged to form Devastator for the first time, much to the surprise of the attacking Autobots. The titan shrugged off the Autobots' attacks, even including [[Ironhide (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Ironhide]]'s liquid nitrogen blasts, but things took a turn for the worse when Soundwave, wired into the dish and unable to defend himself, made the mistake of calling on Devastator to destroy a ''specific'' Autobot—[[Huffer (G1)|Huffer]], who had slipped close to the dish in the chaos. The dull-witted Devastator struggled to process this precise instruction, taking out each Autobot one after the other until he found the one that Soundwave had been talking about; fortunately for the Decepticons, Huffer's own indecision gave Soundwave time to successfully transmit his message. The dish was subsequently destroyed by Huffer's human ally [[Bomber Bill]], and Soundwave ordered retreat, grading Devastator's performance as "notably deficient." {{storylink|The Next Best Thing to Being There!}}

[[File:UK62 Devastator.JPG|left|upright=1.1|thumb|Concept art for Capcom's upcoming Street Fighter vs Transformers]]
''Following this poor initial outing, Devastator was subsequently put through training and tests that managed to improve his operation and co-ordination. With the Constructicons now operating better together, Shockwave charged them with attacking a demolition derby that the Autobots' human friend [[Buster Witwicky (G1)|Buster Witwicky]] was attending in order to kidnap him for use as leverage. Faced with Buster's Autobot protectors, the Constructicons formed Devastator to deal with them, but the very sight of the combiner sent Buster catatonic. While Devastator battled the Autobots—during which he was toppled by [[Smokescreen (G1)|Smokescreen]] and blinded by [[Tracks (G1)|Tracks]]'s [[black beam gun]]—Soundwave scanned Buster's mind to discover what had happened to the human, and immediately ordered the Constructicons to separate and retreat upon discovering that the Matrix had implanted a vision for the future of combiner technology in Buster's brain.'' {{storylink|Devastation Derby!}}

''Seeking to make a reality out of the information the Matrix had planted in Buster's mind'', the Autobots staged an attack on the Decepticon's [[Wyoming base]] in order to draw out Devastator so they could observe his technology in action. When Shockwave ordered Devastator into action, [[Bumblebee (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Bumblebee]], watching from afar, monitored and recorded the Constructicons' transformation pattern. He reported his success to Optimus Prime, who ordered a retreat, and the Autobots subsequently used the information derived from Devastator to create their own team of [[combiner]]s, the [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbots]]. {{storylink|Command Performances!}}

''While on a mission in [[Yukon]] territory, the Constructicons formed Devastator to chase [[Jazz (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Jazz]] and [[Hoist (G1)|Hoist]] down after they spotted the pair spying on their construction project. The chase took them through a forest and before a hydro-electric dam, which Devastator was duped into blasting. The structure collapsed, unleashing a torrent of water onto the Constructicons, and washing them away.'' {{storylink|The Mission}}

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

The Constructicons were rendered incapable of combining at one point. Unwilling to lose Devastator's raw power, they attempted to construct a new and separate version of him in the Bahamas, surrounding the construction side with an [[Automated defence ring]]. [[Ironhide (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Ironhide]] and [[Bumblebee (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Bumblebee]] were able to master the ring's challenges, and wrecked the project before the new Devastator could be completed. {{storylink|Desert Island Risks!}}

[[File:CrossingOver3 devastator vs grimlock.jpg|left|thumb|225px|Mixmaster was voted off the combiner.]]
The Constructicons were among the Decepticon warriors assembled by Megatron as he re-established his power base on Earth 15 years after the fall of [[Unicron]]. For some unexplained reason, Hook and Mixmaster were no longer part of the group, replaced by a new Constructicon named [[Hightower (Classics)|Hightower]]. As a result, Devastator's combination was significantly altered.

The giant Decepticon warrior was assembled to battle the Autobots in the Southern Hemisphere, when both groups were seeking out the source of a new set of energy readings. Devastator confronted the Dinobot [[Grimlock (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Grimlock]], and the force of their battle was enough to cause the landscape to cave in, revealing the caverns below. The Constructicons were disassembled by the impact, however, and were forced to fight Grimlock individually. {{storylink|Crossing Over: Part 3}}

===Marvel Storybooks continuity===
The Devastator was "phase 2" of Megatron's latest plot to take over the Earth. After having taken millions of humans hostage, Megatron ordered the Constructicons to combine. The Devastator then proceeded to overpower everything the Autobots threw at him... until the Dinobots arrived. Though The Devastator mocked the Dinobots' slow pace at first, his mockery was cut short by Swoop blasting him at point blank range, killing Hook and Scrapper in the process. The rest of The Devastator's components were then slaughtered one by one. {{storylink|Battle for Earth}}

[[File:DevastatorvsSunstreaker-ASW.jpeg|thumb|left|upright=1.5|Devastator, stop looking into the camera!]]
Happening upon [[Sunstreaker (G1)|Sunstreaker]] admiring his reflection in a pond, Devastator moved in to capture the vain Autobot. The task shortly accomplished despite Sunstreaker attempting to fight back, Devastator brought him to Decepticon headquarters. After locking Sunstreaker in a prison cell, Devastator split up into his component pieces.

The Constructicons once more joined together to form Devastator when a rescue party stormed Decepticon headquarters to rescue Sunstreaker. Devastator made short work of [[Slag (G1)|Slag]], [[Sludge (G1)|Sludge]] and [[Sideswipe (G1)|Sideswipe]] as well, and stuffed them in Sunstreaker's holding cell.

The Constructicons merged once more to view an Autobot peace offering; Optimus and his troops had left before the Decepticons' headquarters a life-size statue of Devastator. Accompanying the statue was a letter from Optimus Prime, explaining that the effigy was meant as a symbol of the Autobots' surrender. The rest of the Decepticons cheered as Devastator neared the statue to contemplate it. But the moment the giant Decepticon touched the statue, an ambush part of Autobots burst forth from within it. Each Autobot fired at Devastator from a different side. This resulted in Devastator's attention to be so thoroughly divided that his components transformed back into their individual selves. With the playing field evened-out, the Decepticons wound up losing against the Autobots once again. {{storylink|The Autobots' Secret Weapon}}

Devastator was the first combiner, the end result of the Constructicons' research into [[mass intellect]]. However, he suffered a huge drawback in that he would only do what his components agreed on, which was usually smash stuff. {{Storylink|Transformers: More than Meets the Eye|More than Meets the Eye #8}} Although the process would later be refined, leaving the method by which Devastator was formed considered primitive by comparison, the sheer destructive power of the combiner was so great that the Constructicons were actually forbidden from trying to modifying their own combination for fear that Devastator's effectiveness would be compromised. {{Storylink|Transformers: More than Meets the Eye|More than Meets the Eye #2}}

During the [[Dark Ages]], between 7.4 and 6.5 million years ago, when the Decepticons and Autobots fractured into several smaller factions, the [[Crisis Intervention Accord]] was signed, ruling the [[Special Teams]] non-aligned. However, [[Ratbat (G1)|Ratbat]] managed to convince the Constructicons to side with the [[Ultracon]]s, and they accompanied him when he made his push to take the [[Tagan Heights]], forming Devastator to battle the [[Wrecker]]s. Hopelessly outmatched by the giant, the Wreckers were bailed out when the [[Protectobot (G1)|Protectobots]] chose to disobey the accord and aid them, merging into Defensor to give Devastator a run for his money. {{storylink|Escalation}} The resultant clash of titans destabilized the surrounding area, but in the end, Defensor realized he couldn't beat Devastator with strength. While Devastator became distracted by Springer, Defensor split back up into the individual Protectobots, and plugged Devastator into the local power grid, hitting him with a massive electrical shock that overloaded his combination system and forced him to separate. {{Storylink|Devastation}}

In 2002, when the Decepticons returned to menace Earth after a period of inactivity courtesy of the schemes of [[Robert Hallo]] and [[Lazarus|Adam Rook]], Devastator played the central role in the grand display of destruction a furious Megatron unleashed upon humanity. At Megatron's command, Devastator disembarked the Decepticons' temporary base in the [[Northwest Territories]], walking along the seabed down the west coast of North America, heading for [[San Francisco]], destroying a US Navy submarine along the way. [[File:DW devastator.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.67|Somebody help me I'm drowning-Oh.Lucky I'm so tall.]] Bursting from the waters of San Francisco Bay, the absolutely gigantic Devastator immediately set to work putting the city to ruin, until confronted by Superion. Devastator speedily triumphed in the battle that followed, reducing the Autobot combiner to his component Aerialbots, {{storylink|Prime Directive issue 4|Prime Directive #4}} then turned on the other Autobots who had arrived, stomping Trailbreaker flat despite his [[force field]] and slamming [[Sunstreaker (G1)|Sunstreaker]] and [[Sideswipe (G1)|Sideswipe]] between his monolithic palms. To no-one's surprise, it was Optimus Prime who was finally able to take the giant down, ramp-jumping to his head-height in [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]] so that he could shot him point-blank in the face, blowing much of his head and shoulders to bits and sending him toppling into the waters below. {{storylink|Prime Directive issue 5|Prime Directive #5}}

''Over the following months, Starscream had the [[Insecticon (G1)|Insecticons]] secretly rebuild Devastator and the Constructicons without Megatron's knowledge. When Megatron vanished off the face of the Earth, Starscream took the opportunity to bring his secret weapon back into the light. Devastator made his return debut in the canyons of Nevada, where Starscream led the unwitting Autobot named [[Sideswipe (G1)|Sideswipe]] right into a blast from Devastator's [[solar energy rifle]]. He was a major force in Starscream's control of [[Las Vegas]] as well, and battled [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]] when the Dinobot commander attempted to free the city from Decepticon domination. {{storylink|Transformers: Hardwired|Hardwired}}''

''When Megatron returned from deep space, Devastator unhesitatingly remained at Starscream's side, and was prepared to tear his former leader limb from limb at Starscream's command. When the Decepticons split into two factions between Megatron and Starscream, the Constructicons were steadfastly loyal to Starscream. They were captured, along with the rest of Starscream's men, when the [[Keeper (species)|Keepers]] settled in Las Vegas. Trapped inside an energy net, Devastator tried to bludgeon his way out at first, until [[Skywarp (G1)|Skywarp]] convinced the Constructicons to separate so they could dig their way out from underneath the field. Once they were freed, the Constructicons reformed Devastator as the Autobots and Decepticons united in an attempt to destroy the Keepers before the American government carried out the final solution and nuked Las Vegas off the map. Didn't work—the xenophobic [[President of the United States|President]] jumped the gun and fired off the nuclear missile early in the hopes of eliminating the Transformers as well as the Keepers. Still, the impending nuclear holocaust wasn't enough to deter Devastator's one-track mind, and he continued to hunt down the Keeper-possessed [[Bluestreak (G1)|Bluestreak]] (since that was the one Autobot [[Starscream (G1)|mommy]] and [[Megatron (G1)|daddy]] would let him destroy at the moment). During the fight, the Keepers managed to trap Devastator and his massive comrade [[Omega Sentinel (G1)|Omega Sentinel]] outside a protective field, while they engaged the smaller Transformers inside. This eventually meant that Devastator was too far away to be protected by Optimus Prime's [[Matrix of Leadership|Matrix]]-constructed shields when the nuclear missiles finally struck. The combined Constructicons suffered massive damage as a result. {{storylink|Transformers: Annihilation|Annihilation}}''

[[File:DWG1ongoing0 devastators remains.jpg|thumb|upright=1.67|This is what happens when you buy a "loose" Devastator on eBay.]]
''In the aftermath of the nuclear assault on Las Vegas, the Constructicons were trapped permanently in their Devastator form as a result of their injuries. Devastator was present in the Nevada desert when the American military forces ambushed the Autobots and Decepticons. After that, Megatron sent him and Omega Sentinel to keep watch on the Void gateway being built on [[Allister Greaves]]' property to allow the Keepers back into normal space. Optimus Prime and Megatron soon joined them there, and began the final battle against the Keepers' pawn, [[Franklin Townsend]], and his puppets Bluestreak and Starscream. Devastator attempted to swat Starscream out of the sky, but eventually stopped when the Keepers' power faded and Starscream returned to his ever-so-likeable self. Instead, he was forced to contend with the far more formidable Omega Sentinel, who had broken free from Megatron's control and returned to his original Guardian programming. Ultimately, the Omega Sentinel sacrificed himself to stop the Keepers by plunging into the Void, and pulled Devastator with him. When the Keepers' control crystal was shattered, the Void was destroyed and Devastator fell back out into real space. He floated in the vacuum between Mars and Jupiter, in deep stasis lock. A secret American space venture, the starship ''[[Bounty]]'', happened across the gigantic Decepticon on their mission, and made plans to bring him back to Earth. {{storylink|Transformers: Fusion|Fusion}}''

Devastator eventually fell into the hands of [[Earth Defense Command]], and was being studied at their secret bunker. {{storylink|Generation 1 issue 0|Generation 1 #0}}

The Constructicons formed Devastator to defend the [[SPS Satellite]] control center on [[Cobra Island]] from the attacking Autobots and [[G.I. Joe (team)|G.I. Joes]]. After telling the [[Cobra]] troops that he'd help them since he hated Autobots just as much as he hated humans, Devastator killed [[Hound (G1)|Hound]] with a single shot from his gun. Unfortunately, this angered the Autobot's friends, [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]] and [[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack]], who attacked Devastator along with a squad of human tanks. The combiner was overrun by their numbers and was defeated after having his left arm blown off. {{storylink|G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers issue 5|G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers #5}}

[[File:AHM2Devastator.jpg|thumb|225px|"Has anyone seen my chestplate?"]]
After the death of [[Nexus Prime]] and the failure that was [[Monstructor (G1)|Monstructor]], many dedicated themselves to rediscovering workable [[combiner|gestalt technology]]. {{storylink|The Crucible}} Shortly before the outbreak of the [[Great War (G1)|Great War]], [[Shockwave (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Shockwave]]—a student of [[Jhiaxus (G2)|Jhiaxus]], Monstructor's creator—was brought into the Decepticon ranks for the express purpose of using his master's teachings to develop a combiner for the faction. He accepted with the caveat that the process was likely to take a ''very'' long time. {{storylink|Shockwaves}} Indeed, it would be millions of years before [[Megatron (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Megatron]] had his gestalt warrior; in the year that followed the thwarting of the [[Expansion]], the scientifically-minded [[Insecticon (G1)|Insecticon]] [[Bombshell (G1)|Bombshell]] finished Shockwave's work, successfully granting the Constructicons the ability to combine into Devastator. Where previous experiments with combination had struggled to unite the minds involved in the process, the Constructicons' shared appetite for destruction allowed Devastator to remain relatively mentally stable, if angry. {{storylink|Before the Dawn}} {{storylink|Shockpoint}}

When the Decepticons initiated the [[Surge (event)|Surge]], striking at Autobot outposts across the galaxy simultaneously, Devastator was a key component of the squadron on [[Earth]], where he made short work of the local Autobot unit, who were exiled back to Cybertron. {{storylink|All Hail Megatron issue 7|All Hail Megatron #7}} The Decepticons then began conquering the planet, starting with [[New York City]]; Devastator cut off the human population's means of escape by wading into the waters around the city and destroying the bridges and tunnels. {{storylink|All Hail Megatron issue 2|All Hail Megatron #2}}

In time, the apparent lack of direction Megatron had for the Decepticons after their conquest of Earth caused a schism in their ranks, and Devastator sided with Starscream, attacking and attempting to kill Megatron. Their fight was soon interrupted by the arrival of jets from the European Union, which Devastator had to fight off. {{storylink|All Hail Megatron issue 10|All Hail Megatron #10}} A much greater opponent then appeared in the form of [[Omega Supreme (G1)|Omega Supreme]], who arrived with all the exiled Autobots and engaged Devastator in battle. With buildings being shattered by their titanic clash, [[Optimus Prime (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Optimus Prime]] ordered Omega to move the battle with Devastator to a safer area. {{storylink|All Hail Megatron issue 11|All Hail Megatron #11}} Omega responded by hauling the combiner out into the bay, where he slammed him against the [[Statue of Liberty]] and blasted him through the chest, taking him out and leaving to sink into the waters below. {{storylink|All Hail Megatron issue 12|All Hail Megatron #12}}

[[File:IDWongoing28 devastator and sunstreaker.jpg|left|upright=1.66|thumb|"Are you Sam Witwicky?" "No, but I'm better than you".]]
Several years later, [[Spike Witwicky (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Spike Witwicky]] tracked Scrapper down and killed him to make sure Devastator could never be formed again. {{storylink|Scrapper (issue)|Scrapper}} This did not prove as permanent a solution as first appeared, however: after the Decepticons liberated Scrapper's body from [[Skywatch]] {{storylink|Revenge of the Decepticons Part 1: The Demolished Man|The Demolished Man}} they were summoned back to Cybertron for a battle with the Autobots, where the Constructicons proved capable of combining with Scrapper's corpse. The resultant Devastator suffered from a "dead leg" that he could not move properly, allowing the Autobots to outrun him, and his other leg was also soon taken out of the equation when [[Sunstreaker (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Sunstreaker]] tricked the giant into stomping on his explosive-laden wheelchair. Just as the giant was about to crush him with his fists instead, he was mentally taken over by [[D-Void]] and forced to merge with all other Decepticons and [[Galvatron (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Galvatron]]'s [[Sweep (G1)|Sweep]] army to form the "[[Deceptigod]]". {{storylink|Chaos Part Three: Kings}}

The defeat of D-Void was followed by the reversion of Cybertron into a primordial wilderness into which Megatron fled, leaving the leaderless Decepticons—the Constructicons among them—to live in the rebuilt [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]], under the unstable governance of Bumblebee. Megatron soon discovered that the combination of [[Ore-13]] and [[space bridge]] technology in his new body allowed him to tap the energies from within Cybertron that D-Void had used to create the Deceptigod, and in this force's ability to subjugate individual will and facilitate combination, he saw the means to finally perfect the combination process. {{storylink|Before the Dawn}} [[File:IDWRID14 prowlstator.jpg|thumb|upright=1.3|"Nothing is more of a prick than Devastator, nothing!"]] Megatron tested his theories upon the [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbots]], fusing them into "The [[Superion (G1)|Superion]]", and also secretly conspired with several of the Decepticons in Iacon, allowing Bombshell to experiment with the energies, with which he seized control of the mind of the Autobot police officer [[Prowl (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Prowl]]. Faking both his own death and those of the Constructicons, {{storylink|Devisive}} Bombshell withdrew them all to Prowl's [[Black Room]], where the Constructicons' bodies were rebuilt to the specifications of a new, modular Devastator design that moved Hook to Scrapper's old position as right leg, and would allow others built with compatible forms to serve as the combiner's head. The intent was for Megatron himself to become Devastator's new head, but rather than risk his own mind and body in a test run, it was arranged for the mind-controlled Prowl to become part of Devastator first, to ensure the process worked.

When Megatron returned to Iacon and his plan went into action, the Constructicons and Prowl combined into the new and improved Devastator, under the complete control of Bombshell via Prowl. Under Megatron's orders, the revamped Devastator proceeded to destroy Autobot High Command with the sweep of a hand. {{storylink|Before the Dawn}} The giant then continued on to the Iacon med-centre, which he also devastated, before menacing the Autobots, NAILs, and disillusioned Decepticons trying to defend it. Superion arrived from Cybertron's wilderness and proceeded to engage Devastator in combat, and two giants' battle continued for some time until, elsewhere, Bombshell was stabbed through the head by [[Arcee (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Arcee]]. With his controlling influence gone, Devastator fell into a stupor, just as Prowl—his mind still partially aware within the combiner—turned his thoughts to the one thing he and the five Constructicons agreed on: a hatred of Spike Witwicky. This unifying idea caused Devastator to reawaken, now of one mind, and with just one goal: to never be controlled ever again. With that, Devastator grabbed Superion, tore the combined Autobot in half, {{storylink|Plan for Everything}} and proceeded to destroy everything he saw. However, the giant was surprised when [[Ironhide (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Ironhide]] got a boost up onto his shoulders and began to call out to Prowl inside his mind. After some well-placed punches and a speech from the Autobot veteran on the topic of free will and personal change, Prowl 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 thought-to-be dead [[Wheeljack (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Wheeljack]] stopped the process in its tracks. {{storylink|Heavy Is the Head}}

[[File:TheMindBomb-Devastator.jpg|thumb|left|210px|Helpless humans gaze in horror at Devastator's giant crotch!]]
Impressed by certain nasty things they'd seen in Prowl's memories during their merging of minds, the Constructicons left the Decepticons to befriend their new idol. {{storylink|Second Exodus}} When Shockwave put into motion a plan to collapse the universe into Cybertron, the Constructicons convinced a reluctant Prowl they had to form Devastator again to keep [[Monstructor (G1)|Monstructor]] off of [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]]. {{storylink|Black Planet: Dark Cybertron Chapter 11|Black Planet}} Devastator grappled with his crazed forebear until the ''[[Lost Light]]'' joined the fight and rammed the original combiner into his component pieces. {{storylink|...And the Damage Done: Dark Cybertron Finale|...And the Damage Done}} Prowl would subsequently learn to see Devastator as a valuable resource, willingly combining with the Constructicons during a battle with the Decepticons on Earth six months later {{storylink|Earthfall Part 2: Detonation Boulevard|Detonation Boulevard}} as part of a plan to expose the reappearance of Cybertronians on Earth—specifically, to make things difficult for the [[Earth Defense Command]] and their Decepticon allies. In the ensuing fight, Devastator battled against Galvatron's Decepticons, and managed to gain the upper hand. {{storylink|Earthfall Chapter 3: The Mind Bomb|The Mind Bomb}} They would merge again to finish off a Worldsweeper-class ship and to cover the escape of the Autobots from [[Marshall Islands|Bikini Atoll]], Jazz (with the unexpected help of Prowl) having rescued [[Alpha Trion (G1)|Alpha Trion]] from human captivity. {{storylink|Earthfall Chapter 5: I Dream of Wires|I Dream of Wires}}

Starscream later showed footage of Devastator on Earth to Wheeljack, so as to highlight the danger that combiners posed. {{storylink|The World of Tomorrow}}

On Earth, the Autobots turned their attention to searching for the lost [[Enigma of Combination]]. Prowl formed a temporary truce with Spike Witwicky to help infiltrate [[G.B. Blackrock|Garrison Blackrock]]'s [[Onyx]] facility, and deployed Devastator to spearhead the attack. {{storylink|Onyx Interface Part Three: ONoffON|ONoffON}} Although Devastator proved effective at tearing the building apart and temporarily secured the Enigma, his loathing of Spike - the man who had killed him once before - ultimately drove the combiner berserk and ruined the mission. Arcee finally managed to talk Devastator down and force him to split apart. Prowl blamed the Constructicons for taking over their combined body, although they maintained that Devastator couldn't be controlled like that and that all of them were equally responsible for the outburst. {{storylink|The Onyx Interface Conclusion: The Obliterati}} On Cybertron, Starscream confronted Optimus over "his" personal combiner, using it as leverage so that he could accelerate Superion's own repairs. {{storylink|First Contact (IDW)|First Contact}}

[[File:YouMeAndTheUniverse-Scoopastator.jpg|thumb|right|225px|"Nothing is more pious than Devastator, nothing!"]]

After Prowl learned that Starscream was planning to absorb [[Caminus]] into the new "[[Council of Worlds]]", he and the Constructicons hijacked the Ark's new [[Space bridge|spacebridge]] to travel to Metroplex, intending to tear the spacebridge apart and cut Cybertron off from the rest of the galaxy. {{storylink|The Possible Light}} Combined once more, Devastator issued an ultimatum to the assembled Cybertronians and Camiens, but was interrupted by the new and improved Superion. Although Superion proved to be a nimble and clever fighter, Devastator was able to overpower him with brute force, and dragged his defeated foe back through the space bridge to Cybertron. He was briefly distraced by an Autobot-Decepticon alliance, allowing Starscream to use the Enigma on a group of bystanders and create Defensor. Defensor joined forces with Superion and the duo finally managed to overcome Devastator. {{storylink|Mistakes and Mayhem}}

Starscream sought to turn Devastator's power to his own end, and used the Enigma to rebuild Devastator once more. This new configuration incorporated Starscream's lackey [[Scoop (G1)|Scoop]] as Devastator's new right leg, omitting Prowl and returning the other Constructicons to their original configurations. Scoop's religious fanaticism and devotion to his "Chosen One" allowed him to override the other members of the team and force Devastator to obey Starscream's commands. His first mission was to stop Menasor from going on yet another rampage on Caminus. Unfortunately, Defensor misread the situation and attacked Devastator, sparking a four-way brawl between all of the combiners. Metroplex's malfunctioning space bridge sent the quartet tumbling onto an alien world, and things only escalated when the newly-born [[Optimus Maximus (G1)|Optimus Maximus]], under the control of Prowl, stepped in to intervene. {{storylink|You, Me, and the Universe}} Devastator was furious at Prowl for "abandoning" him, and this anger allowed Devastator to ignore Scoop's input and sock Optimus Maximus hard enough to knock him for a loop. Devastator, now completely out of control, teamed up with Menasor in a fight that spanned the colony worlds. Devastator had the upper hand as he pummeled him on [[Velocitron]], but he was restrained by Superion and Defensor before he could deliver a finishing blow. Devastator retaliated by kicking Optimus clear through the space bridge and onto [[Vigilem|Carcer]], but his enemy quickly got his act together and dove back through the portal. Optimus's counterattack threw the Constructicons off balance and allowed all three Autobot combiners to pile onto him, tearing him into his components. Although Scoop apologized for losing control, he and the Constructicons were arrested by the [[Badgeless]] and placed back into Starscream's custody. {{storylink|All That Remains}} {{storylink|The Will of the Few}}

In the aftermath, Starscream allowed Devastator to recombine so that Superion could safely extricate the Constructicons off of Cybertron. Optimus Prime's own time as a combiner allowed him to realize that the Constructicons needed to regularly combine to stay stable, and also noted that Devastator seemed apologetic for his actions. {{storylink|Now and On Earth}} Windblade was grateful that Devastator wasn't allowed to roam free. {{storylink|Windblade vol. 2 issue 4|Windblade #4}}

Starscream proved willing to unleash Devastator in times of great need, such as the Decepticon riot at the Space Bridge chamber. Although Devastator ''was'' willing to follow the orders of the "Chosen One", his habit of defaulting to "devastate" to solve problems almost caused more chaos than it stopped. {{storylink|All Hail Optimus Part 1: Once Upon a Time on Earth|Once Upon a Time on Earth}}

On Earth, [[Scarlett]] and [[Joe Colton (Dire Wraith)|Joe Colton]] remembered Devastator's attack on New York as they discussed the threat that Cybertronians posed. {{storylink|Secret Raiders: A Revolution Prelude|Secret Raiders}}

Seeking a new edge against a recently-arrived fleet of undead [[Titan (group)|Titan]]s, Starscream — hoping to seize control of the Titan [[Vigilem|Carcer]] — used Devastator to launch a full-on attack on the Titan-ship, a distraction while Windblade and a small insertion team made their way inside. {{storylink|Desperate Times}} Devastator came up against [[Strika (BM)|Strika]], who managed to catch one of his punches and stop the combiner dead in his tracks. {{storylink|Desperate Measures (Till All Are One)|Desperate Measures}} When [[Windblade (G1)|Windblade]] managed to puppeteer the Titan's motor functions, she grabbed Devastator and hurled him at an undead Titan. Devastator managed to reorient himself and land feetfirst upon his target, the impact taking it out of the fight. {{storylink|Rubicon}}

When a [[Bludgeon (G1)|Bludgeon]] controlled [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]] marched towards [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]] (an average day on Cybertron), [[Starscream (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Starscream]] deployed Devastator to slow the [[Titan (group)|Titan]]'s approach. Devastator fared rather poorly, being burned by the beast's atomic breath before stepped on and crunched in the monster's jaws. After that he called it quits for the day but his valiant effort in battle convinced Trypticon to spare the combiner's life. {{storylink|The Transformers: Salvation|Salvation}}

When [[Shockwave (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Onyx Prime]] returned to Cybertron and proved yet another tyrant, Scoop's faith in Starscream was rekindled and he managed to convince his fellow Construticons to form Devastator and free Starscream from prison. {{storylink|The Falling, Chapter 3: The Ground|The Ground}} After Onyx threw Optimus into the [[Crystal City]] [[black hole]], Devastator worried about whether or not they would have to fight Onyx next before he revealed to Starscream the epiphany he had: Though Starscream had betrayed Cybertron, he had remained true to himself meaning he was the reincarnation of [[The Fallen]]. As Starscream pondered how to spin that to his advantage, he ordered Devastator to destroy the Autobots within [[Metrotitan (Zone)|Metrotitan]] only for the combiner to be met by [[Victorion]]. In spite of the Camien's gravity powers, Devastator managed to breach her defense and engage her in melee combat. {{storylink|The Falling, Chapter 4: The Hallowing|The Hallowing}} {{storylink|The Falling, Chapter 5: Endless Forever|Endless Forever}}

Unknown to Devastator, his newfound strength to match the Camien was due to a sample of [[Ore-4]] aboard the [[Nemesis (BWII)|''Nemesis'']] interfering with his foe's powers. [[Arcee (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Arcee]] soon managed to shatter the Ore-4 which restored Victorion to full strength. In a rage, the Torchbearer combiner unleashed her full power on Devastator who had only a second to mutter Starscream's name before he was ripped to atoms. {{storylink|The Falling, Chapter 6: Unforgivable|Unforgivable}}

Despite this, the Joes proved themselves capable of outmaneuvering the giant Decepticon.

While not contributing directly, Devastator's components assisted in the reconstruction efforts following the end of the Combiner Wars. {{storylink|Aftermath and Rebirth}} When [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]] attacked, he and the other Combiners were recruited by the [[Mistress of Flame]] to search for [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress Maximus]]. {{storylink|Our Heroes Respond}} They eventually reached Fortress Maximus, and began to investigate. {{storylink|The Fight Begins}} Finding the [[Titan (group)|Titan]]'s weapons systems were intact, Devastator maintained that he didn't need any missiles to stop Trypticon. {{storylink|Overlord and Emissary}} When [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] arrived at Fortress Maximus and revealed the Mistress of Flame had perished, Devastator and the other Combiners assumed him responsible and attacked. Devastator managed to briefly pin Megatron down, but the Decepticon leader picked him up by his leg and swung him into Victorion. Once Windblade arrived and the fight stopped long enough for Megatron to explain, Devastator fused with the other Combiners using the Enigma of Combination, turning Victorion into a super-Combiner. {{storylink|Desperate Actions}}
[[File:POTP-Ep2-Volcanicus-Devastator-dies.jpg|thumb|300px]]
Unfortunately, they proved no match for Trypticon and were ultimately forced to separate again, though Devastator was quick to jump back into the fray. Trypticon managed to knock him into an exposed [[energon]] main triggering an explosion and nearly forcing him to separate back into the Contsructicons before pulling himself together. He later joined the others in attacking Trypticon's fortress mode from all sides. {{storylink|In Good Hands}} When Trypticon swallowed Victorion and the Enigma, he used its power to take control of Devastator and the other Combiners, forcing them to attack Maximus and Optimus Prime. {{storylink|Consumed}} Devastator was freed form Trypticon's control after the Titan expelled the Enigma, and he bore witness to the return of [[The Fallen|Megatronus]] and the death of Optimus. Though he very nearly killed Megatron on the spot, believing him a traitor, he was eventually convinced to follow Megatron towards Megatronus's objective. {{storylink|All Things Must Pass}}

Unfortunately, while the others went searching for the [[Requiem Blaster (Megatronus)|Requiem Blaster]], Devastator and his team were cornered by [[Overlord (Masterforce)|Overlord]] and [[Hot Rod (G1)|Rodimus Cron]]. Though he attempted to fight them, he was eventually pinned down by Rodimus, who shot off each of his limbs before Menasor relented and gave them Megatron's location. As a final act of cruelty, Rodimus executed Devastator anyway. {{storylink|Volcanicus (episode)|Volcanicus}}

===''Beast Wars: Uprising''===
[[File:CulturalAppropriation-MonsterousVsDevastator.jpg|thumb|left|250px]]
On a fuel-deprived post-war Cybertron, Hot Rod helped reform the surviving Constructicons from within, instituting a 2/3rds Autobot roster and convincing them to downsize into fuel-efficient [[Micromaster]] bodies. {{storylink|Micro-Aggressions}} {{storylink|Cultural Appropriation}} Devastator, his consciousness and memories preserved in the surviving Constructicons, remained an option for the newest incarnation of the team.

During the [[Grand Uprising]], [[Hightower (RID)|Hightower]] and the Constructicons joined up with [[Buckethead]] and the unaffiliated "[[Ex-Bot (BW)|Ex-Bots]]" when a group of [[Monster GoBot|alien invaders]] deliberately provoked the [[Human Confederacy]]. At a [[trans-hyperwave caster]] that the [[Renegade]]s had seized, Hightower deployed Devastator, who fought and defeated the [[GoBot]] combiner [[Monsterous]]. In the aftermath, the Constructicons agreed to abandon the [[Builder of Cybertron|Builder]]s and join the Ex-Bots to defend innocent civilians caught in the war between Builders and [[Resistance]]. {{storylink|Cultural Appropriation}}

While chasing [[Tarantulas (BW)|Tarantulas]], Buckethead suggested forming Devastator, but [[Magmatron]] and [[Stiletto (BW)|Stiletto]] pointed out that the combiner would do more harm then good in that situation. Days later, the [[Vehicon Apocalypse]] threatened all of Cybertron; on the march to [[Nova Cronum]], the Constructicons formed Devastator to wade through the hordes of [[Vehicon (BM)|Vehicon]]s. At the [[Grand Mal]] itself, Devastator joined forces with the Maximal combiner [[Magnaboss (BW)|Magnaboss]]. Their combined assault weakened the Grand Mal's force field enough for [[Lord Imperious Delirious]] to take note of them, and fire his massive optic ray at the combiners. Devastator shoved Magnaboss out of the way; while the Maximal combiner only lost an arm, Devastator had lost Bone Crusher, Hightower, and Long Haul, and the combined shock of their deaths knocked him offline. {{storylink|Derailment}}

The surviving Constructicons were able to extricate themselves from Devastator, and when the Vehicon threat had passed they began searching for new recruits. They found willing volunteers in [[Wideload (G1)|Wideload]], [[Steam Hammer]], and [[Hauler|Road Hauler]], who underwent the gestalt process. The newest version of Devastator had lost some of his old savagery, but gained wisdom and a constructive attitude from his new components, earning the respect of the surviving Builders who considered him their champion. {{storylink|The Inexorable March}}

10,000 years after the Grand Uprising, Devastator was misremembered as a Resistance combiner under [[Lio Convoy]]'s command. {{storylink|Lio Convoy: Unity Through Tyranny}}

Devastator appeared early on to halt the Autobots' progress, but was soon called back by Megatron because he needed the Constructicons to do something else. Later the Constructicons confronted the Autobots at the primary generator and formed Devastator, but despite replacing his hands with ''huge'' drills halfway into the fight he was still defeated.

Later in the depths of the ''[[Proudstar]]'', the Constructicons were among a large force of Decepticons that Megatron put in place as a last line of defense. When they failed to beat the Autobots in a six-against-five fight they formed Devastator again, but this time Menasor showed up to help him. Even ''this'' didn't help much, as both combiners were eventually knocked off the platform and appeared to explode at the bottom of a large pit.{{storylink|Transformers: Devastation}}

Devastator and Devastator (G2) participated in battles against a variety of opponents, both Autobots and Decepticons. Sometimes there were many of him! Devastator could be recruited if all of his components were at max level.

Along with Devastator (G2) in the "Devastator's Metal War" event, there was also a golden Devastator that dealt only 1-5 damage, but encountering him would let the player enter a contest for a chance for five people to win an in-game Devastator, and one person to win a Devastator Special Edition Gift Set.

Devastator was formed after Megatron eagerly used the [[Enigma of Combination]] on the [[Constructicon (G1)|Constructicons]]. Mass devastation ensues. After the curbstomp-battle of one base that held a [[Ore-13|strange mineral]] iside of it, Mixmaster suspected something was up. The next outpost faced had [[Superion (G1)| Superion]] inside of the base, and the two had a massive battle. After the battle was over, Devastator had expended to much energon from the decepticon forces, so a new energy source had to be found. Also, Megatron found out only high-ranking versions of his constructicons could combine, therefore eliminating his need of low-leveled constructicons. {{storylink|Transformers: Earth Wars|Transformers: Earth Wars - Combiner Wars Campaign}}

To permanently obtain Devastator, one has to collect all six three or four-star Constructicons and combine them in the Combiner Lab.

==Toys==
===Generation 1===
[[File:G1devastator toy.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Devastator was here first, Scramble-boys!]]
*'''Devastator''' (Giftset, 1985/1986)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''37'''
**''Accessories:'' Robot head, head laser, 2 forearms/launchers, 2 fists, 2 drills, "super wing" chest plate, "missile mount" hip connector, "wing" pelvis armor, "magna laser"/"solar energy rifle", individual robot guns, Mixmaster's 2 missiles

:The first [[combiner]] toy in the ''Transformers'' toyline, Devastator originated in [[TakaraTomy|Takara]]'s [[pre-Transformer]]s ''[[Diaclone]]'' toyline, where he was the unnamed combined form of the "Construction Vehicle Robo" team. He is created by assembling all six Constructicons, who, unlike the later [[Scramble City (toyline)|Scramble City]]-style combiners, cannot be rearranged into other configurations. The large pieces of [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]] weaponry the Constructicons came with form important connector pieces for the giant robot—in particular, his forearms are the missile launchers that came with Scavenger and Bonecrusher. These launchers can be equipped with silver-chrome drill attachments instead of his fists, but their spring-loaded firing mechanism was severely weakened by [[Hasbro]] [[for safety reasons]]. He is armed with Mixmaster's magna laser, though his own [[bio]] identifies his weapon as a solar energy rifle.

:In the United States, Canada, and Japan, the Constructicons were originally available both sold separately on individual blister cards (with the additional Devastator parts split up between them) and as a boxed [[Giftset|gift set]] of all six. On the European continent, the individual Constructicons were first released by Hasbro subsidiary [[Milton Bradley]] in 1985 (with a giftset rumored to exist, but with no proof as of yet<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>), then re-released in 1986 by Hasbro proper, this time in a ''yellow'' coloration manufactured by [[Joustra]].<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 figures are not to be confused with the yellow European Constructicons released in 1992, who featured grey parts and could not combine into Devastator, nor with the yellow ''Generation 2'' Constructicons (see below), who lacked the [[rubsign]]s and forearm-launcher tabs that this version featured.

[[File:ActionMaster Devastor.gif|upright=1.66|thumb|Scorpulator, alligator.]]
*'''Devastator with Scorpulator''' (Action Master, 1990)
**''Accessories'': "Magnifier Blaster"

:A non-transforming action figure compatible with any other [[Action Master]] vehicle or accessory, Devastator's sculpt is based largely on his original [[Character model|animation model]], but with a great many toy-based elements added for extra detail. Most notably, his head is based on the toy instead of the very different animation model. Released in the second wave of carded Action Master figures, Devastator came with his small animal [[Action Master partner|partner]], [[Scorpulator]], who transformed into an acid spray gun that Devastator could wield and a "Gripper Backpack" that plugged into Devastator's back.

:As an [[Action Master]], Devastator received a set of Power Plans, viewable [[:File:Devastator Power Plans.jpg|here]]. Not surprisingly, none of his listed parts line up with those found in the STARS manual (see notes). Additionally, the Devastator in the Power Plans is missassembled: Mixmaster and Scrapper are on the wrong legs.

:[[Redeco]]s of all six Constructicons were released individually as part of the first assortments of ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' products, now colored yellow like the European version from 1986. They were not identical to that earlier version, however: they featured a lighter purple plastic, lacked rubsigns, had all their spring-loaded accessories (such as Devastator's forearms) [[retool]]ed to remove the firing [[gimmick]] completely, and a ''Generation 2''-style Decepticon [[insignia|logo]] and the word "DECEPTICON" [[tampograph]]ed on them. Aside from that, ''Generation 2'' Devastator was functionally identical to his Generation 1 predecessor.

:Famously, a later—and seemingly less common—run of the figures changed the yellow plastics to rich orange. Unverified rumors claim that this version of the team was exclusive to [[KB Toys]] stores. Whatever the case, neither color version was available as a gift set.

*'''Constructicon Devastator''' (Multi-pack, 2007)
**''Accessories:'' Two claw [[energon weapon]]s, two pincer energon weapons

:''[[Transformers: Classics|Classics]]'' Devastator is a [[redeco]] of the ''[[Transformers: Energon (toyline)|Energon]]'' combiner [[Constructicon Maximus]]. As this mold is a five-bot combiner in the "Scramble City" style, rather than Devastator's traditional six, the team now consists only of Scavenger (redecoed from [[Steamhammer (Energon)|Steamhammer]]), Scrapper, Bonecrusher (both redecoed from the [[Sledge (Energon)|Sledge]]/[[Bonecrusher (Energon)|Bonecrusher]] mold), Long Haul, and enigmatic new member [[Hightower (Classics)|Hightower]] (redecoed from the [[Duststorm (Energon)|Duststorm]]/[[Wideload (Energon)|Wideload]] mold). Hightower replaces Mixmaster and Hook, but his bio combines elements of both the missing members', leading to some interesting speculation.

:Scavenger forms Devastator's main body, while the other four robots attach via universal connectors to form any of his limbs, using their energon weapon accessories to form clawed hands and feet for their combined form. Being a redeco, this of course means Devastator's components can also connect with any of the other combiner robots from the ''Energon'' series. Devastator was only available in a full five-pack, [[exclusive]] to Wal-Mart stores.

:The Devastor Gift Set was made available once more as part of TakaraTomy's ''[[Transformers Encore]]'' series of reissues. Apparently cast from a newly created set of molds, (given the presence of a Tomy copyright stamp rather than the original Hasbro/Takara one) the team feature numerous small differences from the original toys, though none that serve to change Devastator's appearance in any significant way.

:Initially solicited as a "yellow version", this second ''Encore'' release of Devastator instead proved to be a redeco and retool based upon the character's appearance in the original Generation 1 cartoon. All six figures feature assorted different paint details such as painted red optics, most notably a brighter, more yellowish-green plastic color, painted torso (for Gren and Mixmaster), and a purple mixing drum for Mixmaster; Devastor now comes with black forearms, and most significantly, a new headsculpt based on the cartoon's visored look. His package art is modified to reflect these changes, and an additional window is added to the box to showcase his new noggin in-package.

:Depending on the individual copy of the toy, this release is prone to some [[quality control]] issues: Scavenger, Long Haul, Hook and Scrapper had plagued with transformation-related problems due to mold degradation, some of the Mixmasters had missing their robot heads, and the optional stickers seemed to became less adhesive.

: The Devastator Kreon is based on the original Generation 1 Devastator, using [[Starscream (Kre-O)|Starscream]]'s helmet and carrying a black pistol based on [[Megatron (G1)|Generation 1 Megatron's]] alternate mode. Like most of the 2012 sets, the Devastator Kreon comes with his own extra clear "Energon" torso piece.

**''Accessories'': Megatron pistol

:A Devastator Kreon sporting an orange ''Generation 2'' deco and including a translucent purple version of the [[Megatron (G1)|original Megatron's]] pistol mode. Devastator came packaged in an individual window box and was handed out as a freebie with ''Kre-O'' purchases at ToysЯUs stores (dates sadly unknown), as well as at [[BotCon 2013]].

*'''Constructicon Devastator''' (Micro-Changer Combiner, 2013)
**''Set number'': '''A2224'''
**''Pieces'': '''76'''

:PArt of the first wave Kreon [[Micro-Changer]] combiner sets, this iteration of Devastator is made up of only four Kreons: [[Bonecrusher (G1)#Kre-O|Bonecrusher]], [[Mixmaster (G1)#Kre-O|Mixmaster]], [[Scavenger (G1)#MicroChangerCombiner|Scavenger]] and [[Scrapper (G1)#MicroChangerCombiner|Scrapper]]. Each Kreon can be rebuilt into individual vehicle modes, as well as their combined Devastator form.

:(The missing two members of the team, [[Hook (G1)#Kre-O|Hook]] and [[Long Haul (G1)#Kre-O|Long Haul]], were part of the [[blindpacking|blind-bagged]] Micro-Changer assortments. You can try and integrate them into Devastator if you want; after all, they are interchangeable building block toys.)

:Like the entire Micro Changer combiner sets, Devastator comes with only one Kre-O display brick, and a sticker sheet composed of his leg detailing & a Kre-O logo. Due to the leg stickers being slightly transparent, applying them into the black-colored leg parts can render the details being semi-transparent. The instructions also did not mention on where you should put the Kre-O logo sticker. Also, Devastator's combined mode's waist part is somehow prone to falling off from the assembly while posing, and he has a problem standing straight due to how the legs are constructed.

*'''Kreon Class of 1985''' (Kreon figure set, 2015)
**''Accessories'': Sniper rifle
**''Set number'': '''B5152'''
**''Voted'': 1-Bot Entourage
**''Accessories'': Small pistol

:[[Kreon Class of '85]] Devastator's deco is much more heavily based on the [[Devastator (G1)#Toys|original toy]]. Like the rest of the set, he uses the almost-totally-[[retool]]ed 2015 style of Kreon body.

:This box set of thirty Kreons was a [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2015 [[exclusive]], with leftovers being sold on [[Hasbro Toy Shop]] online after the show.

*'''Devastator''' (Gift Set, 2015)
**Accessories: Missile launchers/hands, two-piece gun, chest plate/gun and 2 swords

:''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'' Devastator is an all-new mold combiner formed from six Voyager-class Constructicons. All his components are sold together in a massive box. When separated into the individual Constructicons, Devastator's forearms, chest shield, and gun all transform into smaller weapons that they can hold: his forearms become (non-firing) missile launchers, the fins of his chestplate disconnect to become (rather awkward) swords, leaving the central crest to become a double-barrelled gun, and his gun splits into two smaller guns. The robot modes of the individual Constructicons have less articulation than other Voyager Class figures in the Combiner Wars subline, though when fully assembled Devastator himself is extremely articulated (He even has ''ankle'' articulation!). We dare you to find another huge toy that can do high kicks without support.

:The stock photo at right features Hook's crane arm erroneously pointing forward.

:Devastator also comes with a Collector Card based on his packaging art.

*'''Devastator''' (Gift Set, 2015)
**Accessories: Missile launchers/hands, two-piece gun, chest plate/gun and 2 swords
:This version of Titan Class Devastator, also referred to as "Devastator Special Edition" in a Hasbro press release, features extensive [[paint operation]]s, [[vacuum metallizing|vacuum metallized]] purple parts, and a new visor-less head sculpt. His packaging 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 this very wiki page.

:In the U.S., this set 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. Later, it was also available at The Falcon's Hangar booth at the Singapore Toy, Game & Comic Convention 2015 and at the Hasbro booth at Brazil Comic Con Experience 2015.

*'''Devastor''' ('''Devastator''')<ref>The on-package Japanese name is デバスター (Devastor) while the accompanying English subtitle is "Devastator".</ref> (Gift set, 2015)
**''Japanese release date'': 2015-[[December 12|12-12]]
**''Japanese ID Number'': '''UW-04'''
**''Accessories'': Missile launchers/hands, two-piece gun, chest plate/gun, 2 swords, 6 rifles

:''[[Transformers Unite Warriors|Unite Warriors]]'' "Devastor" is a redeco and slight retool of Hasbro's version, the most notable differences being the inclusion of individual handguns for the Buildrons and a new combiner head that can switch between visored and non-visored faces. Every member has been retooled in some manner from the Hasbro versions: Hook, Mixmaster, Long Haul, and Scrapper have been remolded to sport better elbows, and Bonecrusher and Scavenger have been remolded to sport better knees. In addition to this, Devastator utilizes ratchet joints in his shoulders. Each Buildron features a G1 style gun that pegs into an existing slot or hole.

:Devastor and each Buildron's deco is heavily based on the original G1 animation. This includes adding many painted details. The most notable changes to Devastor himself are a metallic gray face (instead of silver), matching purple on the treads that compose his chest, purple hands, and a left foot that is painted to resemble the cab portion of G1 Mixmaster's alt mode.

:While a similar green and purple to Hasbro's release, the colors vary slightly from the ''Combiner Wars'' version.

===Vintage G1===

*'''Devastator''' (Walmart exclusive reissue, 2018)

:The original Devastator toy was once again again available, this time in the [[Walmart]] exclusive ''[[Vintage G1]]'' series. Unlike [[Bumblebee_(G1)/toys#Vintage_G1|Bumblebee]], Devastator does not use the cartoon-accurate head from the ''[[#Encore|Encore]]'' release, and retains all the color deco from the original release.

===Decoy===
[[File:Devastator decoy.jpg|thumb|Relax, I'm not the first Devastator to be the same size as my comrades...]]
*'''Destron Hero Collection 22''' (multi-pack, 1986)
:Devastator was among the many characters rendered by [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] as part of their series of 1.5" soft rubber ''keshigomu'' figurines. Like all the figures in the series, Devastator featured a number sculpted into his back that was the sum total of his [[Tech Spec]]s, for use in the various games that could be played with the figurines. He was available in purple as part of a 22-piece box set of Decepticon figures, in peach as part of various other randomly-packed box sets released by Takara subsidiary [[Seven]], and in a wide variety of different colors in "gachapon" capsule machines.

*'''Devastator''' (1987)
**''Decoy number:'' '''48'''

:The Devastator figurine was later brought over to [[Hasbro]] markets as part of the [[Decoy]] promotion, largely identical to the Japanese release except for the fact that the number on his back was replaced with a simple "checklist" number. Like all Decepticon Decoys, he was cast in purple and available as a randomly-chosen pack-in available with the carded [[Throttlebot]]s, [[Stunticon (G1)|Stunticons]], [[Combaticon (G1)|Combaticons]], and [[Terrorcon (G1)|Terrorcons]]. Very early in the promotion, a red version of Devastator was also available, which was packaged ''only'' with the Throttlebots; unsurprisingly, this version is much rarer.

*'''Devastator''' (Bust, 2003)

:This bust of Devastator was released by [[Hard Hero]], and was based on his G1 cartoon appearance. The eighth release in their main bust series, Devastator was limited to 3500 pieces, with an additional 100 specially signed by the sculptor.

*'''Devastor''' (Super Collection Figure, 2001)
**''Accessories:'' Display stand
: A three-inch tall PVC figure based on the cartoon rendition of Devastator was part of the fifth wave of TakaraTomy's ''[[Heroes of Cybertron|Super Collection Figure]]'' line. Like the other figures in the wave, Devastator was available in both full-color and metallic silver "pewter" versions, at a ratio of one each per case of twelve [[blindpacking|blindpacked]] figures. In eight out of every ten cases, the pewter version of the figure came packed with the waist and tail for the wave's collectable [[Scorponok (G1)|BlackZarak]] "build-a-figure".

===Heroes of Cybertron===
*'''Constructicon Devastator''' (Heroes of Cybertron, 2003)

:This Hasbro-released version of the SCF Devastator figure uses the same sculpt, but is molded in red translucent plastic and painted over to allow for a [[light-piping]] gimmick in its eyes. The figure was sold on an individual blister card rather than blindpacked, and came with a collector card and the left arm for the [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]] build-a-figure.

**''Japanese ID number:'' '''D-4'''
**''Accessories:'' Display base

:At only one inch in height, this Devastator "bottlecap" figurine (so named because its display base is the size of a bottlecap) was one of fourteen blindpacked figures available in Kabaya's Transformers [[Generation 1 Figure-Collection]]. The figure was rendered in a "retro" black and white color scheme, and came with a leaflet, personalized with cartoon screen captures.

===KT Figure Collection===
[[File:Kt devastator.jpg|thumb|He looks so happy!]]
*'''Devastator''' (KT Figure Collection, 2004)

:Devastator features as part of [[Kaiyodo]] and Takara's [[KT Figure Collection]], appearing in a small diorama figure that recreates the scene from ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'' of him ripping through the walls of Autobot City, with [[Hot Rod (G1)|Hot Rod]] and [[Arcee (G1)|Arcee]] added into the mix. Designed by [[Yuki Ohshima]], the figure was available in an individually-sold blindpacked box, or as part of a complete box set of all five figures from the series and came with a card featuring some artwork of Devastator from [[Dreamwave Productions|Dreamwave]]'s [[Prime Directive issue 5|''Prime Directive'' #5]].

===Palisades===
[[File:Palisades Devastator.jpg|thumb|Brother, won't you spare a dime?]]
*'''Devastator''' (Statue, 2006)

:Standing at over a foot tall, [[Palisades Toys]]' statue of Devatator was one of the final products released by the company before it folded. It was limited to only 421 pieces, and in a cute touch, came disassembled in box, requiring the buyer to "combine" the legs and arms with the torso to ready Devastator for display on his large Decepticon insignia base.

===Mecha Nations===
[[File:Mn08-devastator.jpg|thumb]]
*'''Devastator''' (2015)
**''ID Number:'' '''MN08'''
**''Accessories:'' Alternate hands, gun, 6 x magnetic infrared LED modules, display stand.

:Created by [[Kids Logic]], this [[super deformed]], non-transforming and non-separating G1 Devastator stands approximately 8" tall and is articulated, featuring a shiny metallic color scheme, articulated hands, LED light up eyes, Decepticon insignia on his chest, and windows in his component vehicle modes. He includes a flip-down visor for if you prefer this look over separate eyes. Pressing the button on Devastator's gun causes all his LEDs to light up simultaneously (achieved via infrared receivers), accompanied by the classic transformation sound.

:While he was released as part of the Mecha Nations line of larger sized figures, he is intended to tower over the smaller Kids Nations 3" figures, and can be regarded as the combined form of the contemporaneously released [[Constructicon (G1)#Kids Nations|Kids Nations TF04 Constructicons mini-figures set]].

==Notes==
[[File:PreDevastator.jpg|upright=0.85|thumb|This is why "revisions" exist.]]
[[File:G1DevastatorHeads.jpg|upright=0.85|thumb|Shades optional.]]
[[File:STARSDevastator.jpg|thumb|upright=0.85|His crotch is a "shock absorber". Make of that what you will.]]
*The [[The Transformers (cartoon)|original ''The Transformers'' cartoon]] [[production bible|series bible]] contains two descriptions of each Constructicon, and half of them were typed referring to their combined form as "'''The Destructoid'''". This was then crossed out by hand, with "Devastator" written above.
*Devastator's (or rather, his ''[[Diaclone]]'' counterpart's) concept design was decidedly less imposing than the final. Interestingly, it is only composed of five components, the core being a long-nosed truck cab.
*Devastator is a rarity among ''Generation 1'' combiners in the fact Scrapper, the Constructicon's leader, does not form any part of their combined form's torso, instead simply serving as the right leg.
*Devastator had two different [[character model]]s in the original ''Transformers'' cartoon; at the least, he had two different head designs, one with a visor and one without. Sometimes his head would change designs within a single episode—the "visorless" look is how he appeared for the majority of "[[Heavy Metal War]]", but he appears with his visor on in a few shots. While both head designs would continue to be used (almost at random) in subsequent episodes, the visored design was used for his dramatic scene in ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'', and thus seems to have "won out"; it appears on most modern Devastator merchandise.
*In addition to his alternating head designs, Devastator also goes through two separate color models in the cartoon. For his first couple of appearances, he uses a model that colors the, erm, ''protrusion'' on the front of his pelvis green with purple sides, and the area of his torso underneath his chestplate purple. Starting with "[[The Master Builders (episode)|The Master Builders]]", a new color model is introduced that makes the pelvis-part solid purple, and changes the torso to green, but which also consistently mis-colors the "jet port" on the top of the centre of his chest plate and the small window next to his head green instead of purple, and Long Haul's dump bed on his back purple instead of green. This new color model, with errors, would be used for all future appearances by Devastator that were animated by [[Toei Animation]] (including the movie); unsurprisingly, [[AKOM]] never got the memo.
*As it was most commonly flanged and synthesized in the Generation 1 cartoon, Devastator's voice carries one or more slightly-offset repeats of itself, presumably intended to convey the idea that he's made up of several individuals.
*Devastator received a [[Power Plans]]-esque diagram in the [[S.T.A.R.S.]] [[Tech-Spec Manual]], which named various components of his body in... somewhat unusual ways. Notably, [[Scrapper (G1)|Scrapper]]'s shovel (and thus Devastator's foot) is listed as a "rotational angle adjuster", while [[Bonecrusher (G1)|Bonecrusher]]'s shovel (part of Devastator's shoulder) is listed as "coolant".
*In later years, toys sporting the name "Devastator" required an additional "Constructicon" prefix for [[trademark]] reasons, hence making the official name "'''Constructicon Devastator'''".
