how is it that humans can take down giant sentient war machines from space(ok, a lot needed autobot help but blackout and devastator was pure human kills...though the devastator kill can still be debated because of the rail gun's 'origin') but can't handle home-grown war machines (terminator/power rangers RPM/the matrix/captain power and the soldiers of the future)?

Different continuities, probably.
EDIT: And just in case, I'll add - Blackout was killed by missiles shot by F-22's.

The rail gun didn't kill Devastator the fall off the pyramid did. Every fictional movie has it's own rules and laws of physics.

There's nothing in the movie that indicates this.

That's exactly what happened, watch it again. The rail gun blew his arm off which caused him to fall off. he came apart on the way down, that's what killed him.

Right, he came apart on the way down, as in he was dead during the fall, the fall didn't kill him. If the fall killed him, it would be the impact, not the weightlessness of falling.

Whatever, the landing killed him not the fall. It wasn't the rail gun that killed him.

Again, no indication in the film that is the case. He gets like 1/3 his body blown off and then falls and his head falls off.
It seems pretty clear to me, he's dead as he falls, and the impact has no bearing on his death.

The rail gun only shot his arm off causing him to fall down the side of the pyramid. As he fell he started to break apart, THAT is what killed him. His head came off and THEN his eyes go dark indicating he was dead.

Well you can see it that way, I see him falling apart because his dead, not the cause of death.
If simmons said a dumb line like "twas the fall that killed the beast" I'd go with you, that shows writers intent, but it just seems to me, the rail gun did him in.
