Did you even SEE his role in the film?!

Yes, he came in the last battle, barely killed any humans, and was destroyed by BB. So your point?

"You win this round, SImpson..."

But seriously, he was metallic rolling badassness.

That is why.

After seeing Brawl (and more of him because I paid closer attention in the second theatrical viewing) the Leader Class figure fits better.

And Brawl had his (non speaking, aside from one line in Cybertronian) moment in the sun. He blew **** up, took a pounding before dying, and he just looked cool.

He could've had a bigger role in it, but what can you do?

You know, I can really see the justification for these movie designs now. They look so realistic, with rake nipples, the ability to cross their arms infront of their chests (because that's a neccessary survival mechanism for giant robots isn't it?) , and the tank tracks don't magically split and rejoin like in G1.[/sarcasm]

Also bay/murphy spam-bots GTFO. No human being alive can like the look of this. It's like Tankor got put through a blender and and glued back together by Paris Hilton.

Umm, I saw him take on half the autobots single-handedly for a good while. He definitely would've stood against OP better than BoneCrusher.

QFT.

If not for the ties to the G1 gesalt, I think the name/error name of "Devestator" really suits him well.

Like Blackout, he did not get near-enough screentime, IMHO.

How are these two examples anything alike? Assuming the Brawl/Devastator fact is true, It has nothing in common with the Robotech cartoon copyright on the image of Jetfire. Which is why he became Skyfire in the cartoon.

Wow, he sure looks more detailed, except for that problem with the hip, but I'd rather stick with getting the Deluxe mold.

I wonder what those clear parts are for? Lights? (I bet everyone is guessing this)

Oh, & I'm new, but not new to Transformers.
