More Information About "Revenge of the Fallen" Combiner

We now have what appears to be a breakdown of the Constructicon members and how they merge to form Devastator!

some news

right leg dump truck
left leg bulldozer
right arm wheel loader
left arm truss crane
right shoulder excavator
left shoulder articulated dump truck
head mack cement mixer

and good news is,seems only left arm is machine(label "no robot form"),the rest 6 parts have robot mode.

Sweet everloving mother of... That movie combined form is going to be simply enormous. HUGE! Those are not small vehicles by any stretch of the imagination. Good grief, his SHOULDER is an articulated dumptruck? Those things are easily 25-30 feet long...but it makes total sense for a joint...same with an excavator for the other shoulder.

Oh please oh please let's see concept art soon...

I can breath easy now...

Ok that doesn't add up, going by that the legs will be short and stumpy and he will have no mid-section

and what happened to the 9 cons confirmed by the other 'reliable' source?

I don't mean to complain at good news but like I said it doesn't add up

Skowl wrote:All the people who are complaining about this should team up and try to design 7 brand new deluxe or voyager molds of construction vehicles, as they appear in the movie, that can each transform into fully poseable, stable robots that look exactly like they do in the movie - and then have all seven transform again and merge together, in what will no doubt be an incredibly complex and intricate transformation, to form one giant, fully-poseable, completely seamless, stable, screen-accurate Transformer - And then produce and manufacture the complete set for under 70$ - without blowing your profit margin.

And if they can pull it off, then their complaints will be justified.

The toy designers at Hasbro and Takara are people too, they can't do the impossible. If anything, they're going out of the way and doing extra work to make sure fans can get the best of both worlds and can have two sets of solid toys instead of one giant jumbled-up mess. I still hear people complaining about the unstable Energon Superion combiner - and look how simple he was!

I mentioned it earlyer people have and will, if the latest update turns out not to be true and we are stuck with a non combining version the kit-bashers would make it combine (I may have a go but Im no-where near compitent enough)

I doubt it's going to be that simple. I suspect that the "shoulders" are also going to make up a good portion of the torso. Though I have to agree that the heavy long arms and short legs tend towards a gorilla-like appearance. I could live with that i think..that type of body structure tends towards very powerful and heavily armored.

I do so love speculating

I hadn't noticed that. I would guess that there probably are 9 in that case, since they need something to make up the torso. Whether those would be vehicle drones or transforming bots we'll have to wait and see.

I'm also inclined to suspect Devastator ends up with gorilla-like proportions. I have a feeling I read something suggestive of that elsewhere several weeks back. I actually wouldn't be totally against it. He'd be well set for going on a Kong-style city smashing rampage.

It may also be possible that the arms will be made of smaller size class vehicles than the legs, so it's not necessarily gorilla proportions. Construction vehicles come in all shapes and sizes. The legs could be formed from like those uber massive trucks.

OH SHIZNIT! I just noticed that guy standing by the tire!

Say all you want to say about it being lame, but I would be looking forward for this movie version of Devastator.

If I remember correctly way back when we first heard that the Constructicons would be in the movie it was stated that the combined form would have a lot of uperbody strength like a gorilla.

i'm thinking.... his head is a cement truck! just his HEAD!
Just that cement truck is roughly the same mass and size of optimus primes truckcab....if not more mass....
so we got a bot with a HEAD the same mass as OPPrime

this thing is gonna be HUGE !

king kong? this guy is gonna make king kong look like a midget....

BRING IT!

ow btw.... if this whole thing turns out to false information to get us worked up about the movie and the constructicons don't turn up in the movie..... Bay is gonna get shot , seriously :p

No don't shoot him. We should dispose of him in the true way of the Geek:

COLLOSAL NUCLEAR WEDGIE!

I would have to agree with you, because my first thought (shooting a precision guided nuclear missile up his mis-informing ass) would, frankly, be wasting the brilliant irony that is MBay dying in a massive explosion...


JMHO, of course...

You guys must never play with your toys or watch kids play with them. If you want something huge to sit on a shelf you will need to build it yourself. Big toys are not that much fun to play with. This is true for an adult and super-true for a child. If you have ever tried to play with Unicron or another large toy you will know what I am talking about. Big toys are cumbersome. They are slow to transform, they are hard hold while holding another toy, they are hard to interact with another toy, etc. Smaller transformers are more enjoyable to play with. Members with kids will know what I mean. Legends class toys are great fun because they are easy to hold in one hand, transform quickly, and are fairly tough (parts don't fly off when they are thrown). Kids are not all that concerned if the toys look like what is on screen. If this was true, G1 would have never made it. Kids use imagination. A seven year-old will imagine a huge, complex Devastator while he is holding an eight-inch figure. Hasbro designs these toys for kids, not adults.
