	:Unlike regular [[Power Bots]], and unlike other portrayals of the character in general, Devastator features a transformation!

	: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.		: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!"

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

	* Concept art for Devastator presented him as being composed of seven Constructicons—a cement mixer (head), a huge mining excavator (upper torso), a front-ender loader (right arm), a truss crane (left arm), an articulated dump truck (lower torso), a green dump truck (right leg), and a bulldozer (left leg). Hasbro would later assign these robots the identities of [[Mixmaster (ROTF)\|Mixmaster]], [[Scavenger (ROTF)\|Scavenger]], [[Scrapper (ROTF)\|Scrapper]], [[Hightower (ROTF)\|Hightower]], [[Overload (ROTF)\|Overload]], [[Long Haul (ROTF)\|Long Haul]] and [[Rampage (ROTF)\|Rampage]], respectively.

	*Devastator's "Supreme"-class ''Revenge of the Fallen'' toy was composed of only six non-transforming Constructicons, omitting Overload. The later "Legends" toys added Overload back in; these figures were all fully-transforming, and featured robot modes for Overload and Hightower based on concept art.

The later "Legends" toys added Overload back in; these figures were all fully-transforming, and featured robot modes for Overload and Hightower based on concept art. So far, so simple.
	*Where things get confusing is in the film itself. It shows Devastator being composed, at minimum, of ''eight'' Construticons; his left hand is explicitly shown being formed from an [[unknown Constructicon shovel\|unnamed bulldozer]] who isn't seen anywhere else in the film, and has never been given a robot mode or an identity of his own. Also, three additional Constructicon vehicles are seen lining up with the rest of the team prior to Devastator's combination: a [[unknown Constructicon dump truck\|second, yellow dump truck]], a [[Scrapmetal (ROTF)\|Volvo excavator]] (briefly seen earlier in the film), and an eleventh vehicle hiding behind Overload, of which only the wheels can be seen for just a few frames~~, making eleven total~~. These extra vehicles aren't shown actually combining with the others, and none of their parts are in evidence on Devastator, so what bits of him they form—if any—is unknown, and thus they aren't included in the list at the top of this article. They might just be continuity errors.		*Where things get confusing is in the film itself.

	** In 2011, Hasbro's "[[Vector Sigma]] Database" website feature played things nice and vague, naming the original seven Constructicons as Devastator's components, but also noting "the more Constructicons available to merge, the larger Devastator can become," indicating his combination wasn't fixed.		** In 2011, Hasbro's "[[Vector Sigma]] Database" website feature played things nice and vague, naming the original seven Constructicons as Devastator's components, but also noting "the more Constructicons available to merge, the larger Devastator can become," indicating his combination wasn't fixed.
	* Complicating things further is the fact that the movie used the Constructicon CGI models to represent multiple different robots at the same time. Scavenger's design was used for [[Demolishor (ROTF)\|Demolishor]]; a Scrapper-model 'bot (identified only as "the little one") is killed by the other Constructicons to harvest his parts; and duplicates of Long Haul, Mixmaster, Rampage, and ''another'' Scrapper are seen running around in battle at the same time as Devastator is active. The Rampage duplicate, however, is ''red'', while the one that's part of Devastator is yellow, which led the yellow bulldozer to be retconned into a separate character named [[Skipjack (ROTF)\|Skipjack]]. The existence of multiple groups of Constructicons all sharing the same designs invites the possibility that more than one Devastator can be formed at once!		* Complicating things further is the fact that the movie used the Constructicon CGI models to represent multiple different robots at the same time.

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.		:Due to the connectors used, it is possible to swap or double the components used as the arms, but not the feet.

	* 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.		* Technically, Devastator stands at 100 feet tall, as illustrated in the film's official [[Scale charts#Revenge of the Fallen film\|scale chart]].

	* 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 that none of the Devastator toys are movie-accurate.		* In the film, there are ''nine'' vehicles that form Devastator!

	** However, a ''tenth'' vehicle and an ''eleventh'' vehicle are 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), and another yellow dump truck hiding behind [[Overload (ROTF)\|Overload]]. Does this mean Scrapmetal and a second unknown dump truck are a part of Devastator or is this just a continuity error? Who knows! As the film does not show which (if any) part of Devastator they form, they are not included in the component list at the top of the page.		** However, a ''tenth'' vehicle and an ''eleventh'' vehicle are 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), and another yellow dump truck hiding behind [[Overload (ROTF)\|Overload]].

	** 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, ten, or eleven vehicles visible pre-transformation.		** 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.
