[[File:ROTF_Devastator_promo.jpg|thumb|400px|[[City of Steel (episode)|King Kong]] ain't got nothin' on me!]]

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

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

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

Devastator is made up of:
*[[Scavenger (ROTF)|Scavenger]] (torso)
*[[Hightower (ROTF)|Hightower]] (left arm) 
*[[Long Haul (ROTF)|Long Haul]] (right leg)
*[[Mixmaster (ROTF)|Mixmaster]] (head) 
*[[Skipjack (ROTF)|Skipjack]] (left leg, or left foot if the yellow dump truck is included) 
*[[Scrapper (ROTF)|Scrapper]] (right arm) 
;Sometimes omitted

[[File:Devastator-ROTFvsLeoSpitz.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.6|He's like a giant puppy! Who wants to eat you.]]
Upon arrival in [[Egypt]], the Constructicons that made up Devastator combined and attacked [[Leo Spitz]], [[Seymour Simmons]], [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]], and [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]]. It rampaged through the construction facility, sucking up anything not anchored down, such as sand, cars, and Mudflap. Despite the powerful vacuum, Mudflap held out for a while before being sucked further in. Seeking vengeance, Skids clambered up Devastator for revenge. However, Mudflap had survived, and he blasted a hole through the giant Decepticon's eye to climb out before further attacking the combiner and slowing it down. 

[[File:ROTF Devastator death.jpg|thumb|upright=1.6|Hi ho, hi ho-HOLY SLAG!]]
[[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] yelled Devastator's name from atop the [[Great Pyramid of Giza]] to end the twins' distraction. Devastator clambered out of the construction pit and grappled his way to the peak of the pyramid, where he used his vortex grinder to suck up the stones that hid the [[Star Harvester|star harvester]] inside. By this point, Simmons had made his way to the pyramid, and he radioed a nearby navy ship to fire its experimental [[rail gun]], which had been developed based on studies of Megatron during his captivity at [[Hoover Dam]]. The gun's projectile hit Devastator, blasting off an arm and the lower half of his leg, making him lose his balance, causing him to shatter into many pieces as his body tumbled down the pyramid. {{storylink|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen}}

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

===Toy bios===
[[File:HFTD Devastator Wallpaper.jpeg|thumb|left|upright=1.4]]
Devastator chose a green color scheme at some point in time based on the [[oxide shark]]s of the [[Rust Sea]], the most feared predators on Cybertron.

In order to look more like a predator, he once threatened a group of Decepticon scientists into making drastic changes to his body that saw the installation of the Vortex Grinder. The installation of this weapon broke his mind, but made him a mighty force.<ref>[[Toys"R"Us]]-exclusive Devastator's on-line [[bio]]</ref>

After getting dismantled by the railgun, at least some of the components that formed him at the time survived the ordeal. Ironhide made it his mission to hunt the components down one-by-one, starting with Mixmaster.

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

:Like the on-screen combiner, but unlike the Supreme Class Devastator toy, the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Legends Class Devastator comprises seven Constructicons, including the elusive [[Overload (ROTF)|Overload]], each with individual robot modes. Because of this, he is a lot more complex than the Supreme class toy, with a more "layered" look than his movie counterpart had. Devastator is (roughly) Deluxe sized while standing up. The only real drawback he has is that he almost has no articulation. But hey, you can't have everything, right? 
[[File:TF-ROTF-EZ-Collection-Constructicons.jpg|left|thumb]]
:In [[Hasbro]]'s markets, this Devastator set was available as a [[Walmart]] [[exclusive]] in North America, an Argos exclusive in the UK and a Farmers exclusive in New Zealand, packaged in a currently-unique clear box in gestalt mode. A huge two-sided instruction sheet explains transformation in both directions from gestalt to vehicles and vehicles to robots, with the curious note that "Some poses may require hand support".

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

{{toydesigner|[[Takio Ejima]] (TakaraTomy)|[[Shogo Hasui]] (initial concept)}}

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

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

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

:Right out of the packaging, Scavenger's bucket and Mixmaster's truck "nose" are detached and must be assembled, the former of the two requires a bit of force to get attached, but loosens up with time. Scrapper's rear guard-railing and Scavenger's side railing pieces are also removable and are likely to be missing when searching for a loose Devastator on the aftermarket.

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

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

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

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

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

The seven individual Constructicons also have brown [[paint operation]]s on and around their wheels to simulate dirt.

:Announced to commemorate the 10th anniversary of ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'', the holy grail known as ''[[Studio Series]]'' Devastator consists of eight (yes, eight) Constructicons that combine into one mechanical giant. While meant to celebrate the film's tenth anniversary, some members were released in 2020.

:Despite the ''Studio Series'' line's focus on screen-accuracy, Devastator once again omits the yellow dump truck Constructicon. The second bulldozer who forms Devastator's left hand in the film is replaced entirely by an excavator, [[Scrapmetal (ROTF)|Scrapmetal]] (who died before Devastator was formed on-screen). One of the first releases in the set, [[Rampage (ROTF)|Rampage]], was later redecoed into [[Skipjack (ROTF)|Skipjack]] as an option for a more screen-accurate left leg. [[Hasbro]] would later reveal that Skipjack was always intended to be the definitive leg for the combiner and made Rampage an individual to recreate the iconic battle between him and [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]].<ref>[https://hasbropulse.com/blogs/unboxed/behindthedesign-transformers-devastator Behind the Design on Hasbro Pulse]</ref> Because Skipjack and Rampage share the same design this also gave fans the option to use Rampage in place of Skipjack if they so desired. The ''Studio Series'' packaging bios for both figures were written to reflect this.

:Due to the connectors used, it is possible to swap or double the components used as the arms, but not the feet. This means that you may form a less screen-accurate Devastator using seven or nine components instead of eight by duplicating or omitting [[Scrapper (ROTF)|Scrapper]] or both [[Hightower (ROTF)|Hightower]] & Scrapmetal. [[Long Haul (ROTF)|Long Haul]] is the only component able to connect as a right foot, while Rampage and Skipjack are both left feet and cannot be used simultaneously.

:With compound hip and ankle joints and fixed-angle "knees", along with complex shoulder and bicep assemblies, this Devastator has far greater flexibility than any previous version, and as such can stand more erect than is typical for the character. This allows a pose similar to early [[:File:ROTF Devastator and components concept art.jpg|concept art]], and makes him easily the largest ''Studio Series'' figure to date.

:On the flip side, in his intended configuration, Devastator cannot stand on all fours for several reasons: his joints don't orient in the needed positions, his head is largely immobile, and the joints in his hands are not designed to support his weight. It is possible to get him on all fours, though you'll have to disconnect some components and really stretch the limits of his joints. Many fans have taken to creating unique [[Fan mode|fan-modes]] to give Devastator his screen-accurate quadrupedal stature.

:Where other Studio Series packages feature a red window with an Autobot logo, Devastator's components display [[:File:StudioSeries_Dev_Sym.jpg|an insignia of Devastator's face]]. Unusual for a ''Studio Series'' figure, Devastator—and many of his components—lacks a Decepticon insignia.

:While wrecking balls are not included, he does, however, have a 5 mm port placed on his rump meant to store the stands included with the Rampage/Skipjack mold. The shield from Scrapmetal can also be plugged into his left thigh to represent Skipjack's mass being integrated further up into the combiner's left thigh, making for more screen accuracy.

:''DO NOT'' remove either of the legs before separating the two pieces of his torso, as the whiplash caused by the separation can break Scavenger's shoulder joint, especially if Devastator's arms are still attached.

:This boxset was released as the 69th (yes, har har) ''Studio Series'' figure. It contains 8 of the ''Studio Series'' Constructicons seen in the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' film. In order to keep Devastator accurate to his on-screen appearance, [[Skipjack (ROTF)|Skipjack]] is included in the set, completely omitting [[Rampage (ROTF)|Rampage]], as he was busy [[Bumblebee (Movie)|elsewhere]]. 

:This set also includes several new deco additions including dirt and metallic scuff patterns on Long Haul, Skipjack, Scrapper, and Scrapmetal, as well as additional applications on Devastator's face.

:The gift set first saw release in Thailand without any announcement from Hasbro, with it later being officially revealed on the [[October 16]]th [[Hasbro Pulse#Fan First Friday|Fan First Friday]].

:There are a few silly mistakes in Devastator's stock photo. The neck armor piece that comes with Overload is pushed too far back, preventing it's ability to snap onto Mixmaster's mixing barrel properly. Scavenger's wheels that form Devastator's vortex grinder aren't tabbed together, and his shoulders are also rotated where his arms are prevented from tabbing into place. And of course, the most glaring of all, Overload's head is turned around, leaving it fully exposed.

* In ''[[Transformers Generations 2009 Volume 3|Transformers Generations 2009 Vol. 3]]'', a very early Devastator mock-up from [[TakaraTomy]] designer [[Shogo Hasui]] is pictured that places more emphasis on height than width (being rather creepily lanky) and includes among other things, a [[Blackout (Movie)|Sikorsky]] helicopter as a component.  It was [[customizing|customized]] using various figures from other toylines, including some from Spawn and Kamen Rider.<ref name="Generations 3">TakaraTomy designer interview in ''[[Transformers Generations 2009 Volume 3]]''</ref>
* Massive Black's concept art is totally different from the film version: a red mining truck forms the torso, an excavator and timber harvester form the arms, and the legs are formed by a military plow and bulldozer. The resulting robot is human in posture.<ref>[http://www.kempart.com/CAPOST/CApost4rt/Devastator01.jpg]</ref>
* Devastator's final CGI head differs from that used for his promotional images, including more red panels and several pulleys and wires, four highly pronounced horns, and a trio of throat gears lit like a furnace instead of a single complex vortex machine lit green like his eyes. All of the toys and most of the video games released around the film depicted Devastator with a completely grey head, with later Takara releases of his Supreme and Legends class toys adding more screen-accurate red paint applications.
** Amusingly, the prototype image for the ''Studio Series'' figure, revealed in early 2019, presented the figure with a grey face and green lit mouth similar to the original promotional images for the movie, with the final figure using red paint applications for a screen-accurate face.
* In the film, none of Devastator's components are shown as individual Transformers. This might vaguely justify why the components of his Supreme class toy lack individual robot modes.
* Devastator's got a pair of [[Humanization#Nuts, bolts, and screws|brass balls]]. Exactly ''how'' is pretty questionable; even Hightower would only have one wrecking ball as a counterweight, meaning this was just a cheap, throw-away gag.
** When Hasbro was asked if there ever will be a Devastator toy with wrecking balls, they replied straight out "no".
** Ironically, the Devastator Showdown track set does, however, feature one wrecking ball that chases cars down the track. Hmmm.

* According to a [[catalog]] included with ''Revenge of the Fallen'' toys, the ONLY way for the Autobots to defeat Devastator is by combining Optimus Prime and Jetfire.
* Devastator was in an early draft of ''[[Transformers: The Reign of Starscream|The Reign of Starscream]]'', but was dropped at Hasbro's request.<ref>[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/members/mowry-73165.html#vmessage167559 Mowry's profile at TFW2005.com]</ref> 
* When Devastator punches the pyramid, his hand is traveling at 390 miles per hour.<ref name="Barbara"/>

===Size and composition===
[[File:Hightower-Scrapmetal-Continuity Error.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|The mysterious "tenth" Devastator component.]]
* Technically, Devastator stands at 100 feet tall, as illustrated in the film's official [[Scale charts#Revenge of the Fallen film|scale chart]]. However, he's so top-heavy that it is only possible for him to rise to 45 feet. This makes him about twice as tall Optimus Prime and on a roughly equal level to [[Grimlock (AOE)|Grimlock]], although he far surpasses either of them in bulk. 
* In the film, there are ''nine'' vehicles that form Devastator! A [[Unknown Constructicon shovel|yellow bulldozer]] is seen unfolding and is then scooped up by Devastator's left arm, which has been formed by [[Hightower (ROTF)|Hightower]]. Another [[Unknown Constructicon dump truck|yellow dump truck]] lines up next to Skipjack and presumably helps him form the leg. This means two things: It explains why Devastator's left arm has scoops on it while Hightower's vehicle mode has no such equipment, and also why none of the Devastator toys are movie-accurate.
** However, a ''tenth'' vehicle is also present during the combination sequence just behind Hightower for a brief moment, this being a Volvo excavator with a Decepticon [[insignia]] (the same vehicle prop used for [[Scrapmetal (ROTF)|Scrapmetal]] in the early barge scene). Does this mean Scrapmetal is a part of Devastator or is this just a continuity error? Who knows.
** Devastator also has what appears to be two smaller excavator shovels that fold out of his mouth as he expands it to use his Vortex Grinder. At this point it feels as if the animators were just throwing in random construction equipment components all over the show to exaggerate his size, despite there only being between a debatable nine or ten vehicles visible pre-transformation.
* In the [[Hasbro Q&A/December 2009: Answers|December 2009 Q&A]] Hasbro stated that there are only ''seven'' Constructicons that form Devastator. [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]] explained that Devastator can be formed by any number from ''six'' to ''nine''.<ref>"[[Transformers Comic issue 2.13#Law and Disorder|Law and Disorder]]"</ref>
* [[Vector Sigma]]'s online [[Datatrax|Data Tracks]], however, revealed that Devastator's composition is not set. Devastator is simply bigger the more Constructicons that unite.<ref>[http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/en_US/discover/cybertronian-database.cfm#/glossary/constructicon Vector Sigma's online glossary]</ref> This could also mean that he could be bipedal (like his concept art and toys) if his weight is more evenly distributed.
* Given that the film establishes multiple sets of Constructicons, it seems entirely possible that more than one "Devastator" could be formed.
* Devastator is made up of 52,632 geometric pieces and 11,716,127 polygons. The total length of all the pieces is 13.84 miles.<ref name="Barbara">Robertson, Barbara (2009). Weighty Matters. Computer Graphics World, 32(7), 20-29</ref>
* Devastator is made up of 6467 total textures, taking up 32 gigabytes of computer space.<ref name="Barbara"/>
* According to [[Shawn Kelly]], the [[Industrial Light & Magic|ILM]] lead animator for ''Revenge of the Fallen'', Devastator caused a computer to catch fire spontaneously and its insides to melt.<ref>''[[Nickelodeon]] Magazine'', issue 153, published June 2009</ref> One assumes he was exaggerating for the purposes of publicity, as it is improbable for modern computers to actually catch fire under operations for which they are designed, such as rendering an extremely complex model. The special features on the DVD do (indirectly) show one of the computers blowing, with lots of black smoke and the poor animator (and his keyboard) covered in soot. (This was all done as a prank, leading to said animator asking "What the hell, man?") Not quite melting, but still.
