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 Generation 1 continuity family.
He devastates things. Devastates them right in the mouth.

Devastator is an immensely powerful warrior, and in that sense the combination of the 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 has no complaints.

PHALLIC!

(Devastator is referred to as one of the Nine Great Demon Generals. This terminology, accompanied with Violen Jygar's supernatural origin and the presence of dead Decepticons in the ranks implies that Devastator had died previously to Zone and was brought back to life.)

Devastator was selected by Violen Jygar as one of his 9 Decepticon Demon-Generals. Gifted with new a bitchin' new drill-weapon and armor, Violen Jygar sent Devastator to the Planet Zone to steal the Zodiac before the Autobots could get it. Devastator drilled deep within the planet, reaching the Zodiac's chamber, and went toe-to-toe with Dai Atlas. He managed to get the Zodiac first and pass it off to King Poseidon. Devastator had the upper hand in battle until Dai Atlas opened a vein of hot lava upon the Decepticon. Devastator was washed-away in the molten magma, apparantly killed by it.

He also destroyed the World Trade Center by flying through it. That damn terrorist.
