If Hasbro was to make a Supreme-sized combiner out of seven construction vehicles that are each supposed to transform individually, the whole thing would be an unstabble nightmare. By keeping the combiner version "vehicles-only" you are removing a design element that would simply get in the way of a screen accurate Devastator. Think about the movie style for a second, Devastator is not going to be an old "one robot: one limb" combiner, he's going to be more complex than that, and when it comes to the toy, the less things the designers have to worry about, the better it will be.
From Hasbro's point of view, this is the best way to ensure that a Supreme-sized Devastator would actually be... you know, a screen-accurate toy with actually playability - not an unstable, jumbled up mess of seven transforming figures that would come apart in your hand due to all the joints and parts that would have to connect every which way.

Its kind of like Basic Instinct, but not in a good way...
Goddammit, now I can't unsee it.

So this movie is a very unique situation where Hasbro can try some things that they may have never done before. If they work, cool. If they don't, they know what not ot do in the future. you don't get to be as big a successful as Hasbro without taking a few risks. Let's wait and see what they come up with...who knows it may end up looking uber cool.
