Devcon is a Decepticon from the Dark of the Moon portion of the movie continuity family.

Approximately seven hours ago, some... thing attacked the city. I don't know what it is. If you found this tape, I mean if you're watching this right now, then you probably know more about it than I do.

Despite being a quadruped, Devcon is still a formidable foe to tangle with, towering over many other Cybertronians.

Fiction

Dark of the Moon film

Devcon had been stationed on the Moon until Sentinel Prime activated a space bridge to Earth. Heeding the call of Megatron, he joined the Decepticon beachhead in Washington, D.C.. During the invasion of Chicago, Devcon participated in the initial strike and contributed to the mayhem.

During the Autobots' attack on this Decepticon stronghold, Devcon was one of the many Decepticons who fired upon the retreating Autobots. When the tide began to turn in the Autobots' favor, however, the behemoth met his end as he tried to hold a bridge. The Wreckers piled onto Devcon, shooting him in the head multiple times until he fell to the ground dead. Dark of the Moon

Notes

Commander Class toy, please and thank you.

• Devcon bears more than a passing resemblance to the monster in the film Cloverfield, with elongated, double-jointed forelegs, short back legs, and a pair of under-slung appendages. The first teasers for Cloverfield were screened during the release of the first Transformers film. Leo Spitz also possessed a Cloverfield poster in the second film.
• Devcon's name originates in concept art, where he is shown to transform into a "Russian missile launcher.", specifically a variant of the MAZ-7310. The art shows him with twelve wheels in robot mode instead of the eight that his vehicle mode has, which was fixed for the film.
