Devastator (ROTF)

The name or term "Devastator" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Devastator (disambiguation).

Devastator is a Decepticon Combiner from the Revenge of the Fallen franchise in the live-action film continuity family.

King Kong ain't got nothin' on me!

Whether he's formed from six or seven 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. In addition to the intimidating strength that accompanies his sheer size, which led to him being named after Cybertron's unwithstandable and terrifyingly destructive Devastator Winds, Devastator can also create powerful vacuums with his mouth, hoovering up anything that dares stand in his way.

The fusion of the Constructicons has produced a mind that's very much less than the sum of its parts. Intelligence goes out the window, with Devastator relying on almost pure instinct in battle.

Devastator is made up of:

• Scavenger
• Hightower
• Long Haul
• Mixmaster
• Overload (Sometimes omitted.)
• Rampage
• Scrapper

No! Bad dog! Drop the Autobot! Drop it!

Upon arrival in Egypt, the Constructicons that made up Devastator combined and attacked Leo Spitz, Seymour Simmons, Skids, and 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 its head to climb out before further attacking the combiner and slowing it down.

Megatron yelled Devastator's name from atop the Great Pyramid of Giza to end the twins' distraction. Devastator clambered out the construction pit and grappled his way to the peak of the pyramid, where he used his turbine breath to suck up the stones that hid the solar harvester inside. By this point, Simmons had made his way to the pyramid, and he radioed a nearby navy ship to fire its experimental railgun, which had been developed based on studies of Megatron during his captivity at Hoover Dam. The gun's blast hit (and presumably killed) Devastator, shattering him into many pieces.

The one you will actually buy.

• Constructicon Devastator (Legends figure multi-pack, 2010)

Like the on-screen combiner, but unlike the Supreme class Devastator toy, the Legends class Devastator is comprised of seven Constructicons, including the elusive Overload, each with individual robot modes.

In Hasbro's markets, Devastator will be available as a store-exclusive set, while in Japan the Constructicon team members are available individually. It is to note that unlike the usual EZ collection toys, the Constructicons are not blind packed but packed in much the same way as Hasbro Legends class releases.

Supreme Class toys

Actually movie accurate... NOT.

• Constructicon Devastator (2009)

Devastator is formed from the combination of six transforming construction vehicles that do not have individual robot modes. Unlike prior cases of this format, Devastator's vehicles represent separate Transformers, and some of them have been depicted with non-combiner toys.

• Constructin' Devastator (2009)

Burger King Devastator consists of five parts — a head and body, and simplified versions of the vehicle modes for Long Haul, Scrapper, Rampage and Hightower, which connect to the torso on ball joints. 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.

Track Set

Devastator transforms into a snake.

• Devastator Showdown (2009/unreleased)
  • Includes: Skids Mini-Vehicle.

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

Notes

Spielberg saw [Devastator] and said, 'This is (expletive) awesome!' It's always nice when you can make him swear.Michael Bay, "First look: Robo-brawlers big, small in new 'Transformers'" in the USA Today (April 3, 2009)

• Devastator's got brass balls. Exactly how is pretty questionable, as none of his components have wrecking balls as part of their alt-modes - even the crane Hightower appears to have a standard hook.

• In the movie, none of the components of Devastator are shown as individual robots, so it can be argued that his components ONLY can transform into Devastator. This would justify why the components of the Constructicon Devastator playset to have no individual robot modes as well as why Decepticons Long Haul, Mixmaster, Scrapper and Rampage appear in the desert fighting NEST after Devastator has formed.
