Nothing.
Hasbro pointed out the issue before the film was released.The writers pointed out the issue before the film was released.
I say by them ignoring the problem left us with 2 different characters with the same name.They had the chance to retcon it and refused to do so.
I believe what was given to us on film.

When did they have chance to retcon it?
(or that there was going be sequel for sure, as it wasn't announced till a couple months after the first movie was out of theathers I believe.)
In order for a retcon to happen something new has to be made. Given Brawl was dead, there was no need to rename him on screen.
The majority of the Decepticons names were never mentioned during the film...Does that somehow mean they don't have names?
No, you just refuse to acknowledge contuity errors.
Take Xmen series, their contuity is all sorts of jacked up. The only explanion that makes a lick of sense is X3 and Wolverine can not have happened for First Class to have taken place.
If I go with this well the movie says so, and people can't change their minds or make mistakes stance you are there's two characters named Emma frost. Two different mutant experts named Hank Mccoy. Professor X regained use of his legs after he was shot, and somehow lost the ability to walk again after recruiting Cyclops and Jean. (and made amends briefly with Magneto to recruit Jean at the beginning of X3.)
So no this Movie is the highest canon,
If the powers that be, Hasbro the highest authority on Transformers say in the end it's an error, it's an error.
Is really that hard to just say Brawl was mistakenly named in the first film ?

The tank is Brawl, he was just called Devastator in movie 1 because Michael Bay thought it sounded cooler, but officially he is Brawl.
And Que probably shares the same fate: he's called Que because it sounds cooler, but OFFICIALLY he's Wheeljack.
That's the best I got, take it or leave it.
So what your saying is that the movies arent official?

No, what I'm saying is that in MOVIES certain characters had different names because the movies director found those other names cooler. What I meant is that these names in movies are more like nicknames. You know what I mean?
Let me put it this way...
Decepticon Brawl is nicknamed Devastator
Autobot Wheeljack is nicknamed Que
but in movies they used only nicknames of these characters (+ Dino, who is Mirage.) Kinda like Wheels is known only as Wheelie.
Savvy?
