An eBay auction for a MIB Demolishor figure from the Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen toyline has surfaced which showcases the figure's bio.
Demolishor is one of the Constructicons who will merge to form Devastator in the new film, opening June 24th 2009.
See the auction by clicking here.
Demolishor isn't very bright, but he knows when to fight, and when to run and hide. Arriving on Earth to find Megatron destroyed, hiding seemed like the best option. Since then, he's taken a few smaller Decepticons under his protection, and built quite a little community. It hasn't been easy hiding among the humans that creep like a disease over this planet, but he and his companions are content until a new Decepticon leader emerges to guide them back to glory.

the mech alive gimmick for demolisher is the silvery parts in the upper arm/shovel arm that you can see
i like the alt mode, my all time fave concept is unicycle bots (beast machines thrust) and hovering bots (beast machines Obsidian) ohh allspark incinerator why couldent you look like obsidian lol

I think the toy is mistransformed. If you look at the shoulders on the back of the box, the cab of the shovel is to the inside - toward the main body. On the toy, the cab of the shovel is to the outside of the shoulder. This is causing the "moving gears" to be on the back of the toy.
I'm guessing that each of the of shoulders should be spun 180 degrees (on a verticle axis) on the toy to show the moving gears to the front of the toy.

Well spotted Autobot Firestorm.. I hadnt noticed that
One thing I am curious about.. how long before fans kitbash a way to get the individual Constructicons (the ones with Robot Modes) to combine?..

The fact that he combines is the only reason I would consider buying it. As much as I want to like this character, I just don't know.

We know there are six constructicons that combine. The shovel that combines in that group is Scavenger. He looks almost identical to Demolishor. Does that mean that Dems will NOT combine with the others? Or are we going to see him smashed in the opening sequence of the movie (as evidenced by the Chinese street signs on the overpass he crushes) and then REBUILT to combine with other Decepticons?
I'm a tad confused...

Wow. Well, I was really confused then. Sorry about that. I guess that means I am not buying any of the constructicons from the movie then. Disappointing.

even this photo, if you pay attention to the wheels, you can tell the back goes out a little before going down.

Unfortunately it was a mistake they used Devastators name. They didn't edit it out. The problem with the first movie is that they didn't take it as seriously as they do now. So I'm guessing there was plenty more problems they could have worked out in the first film! Heck Bay said it was just a big dumb robot movie! Now with ROTF it's not dumb anymore.
I'm liking this new type of Transformer. If any of you have or end up picking up a Beast Machines Thrust you can appreciate the look. The only downside to this one wheel design is he needs a stand to really get a decent pose. As far as Devastator; I will be buying 2 of every constructicon and making him from scratch! The cement mixer on devastator was out right disapointing and aggrevating! They basically flip a couple panels place him right on top; thats it!

Oh, don't you worry about that. It'll be plenty dumb.
Toy is horrendously ugly. Mind you, the original Constructicons were no beauty-pageant winners either, but this takes the cake.

I hve this sitting right here, far as I can tell it DOES NOT and WONT combine with the others. If it does I will be extrmely suprised. Far as his Mech Alive gimmick goes, when you bend his "arms" the silver large gear on the upper arm rotates and it is indeed a neat feature. I'm waiting for the Audi and Sideswipe to arrive anyday now as well.
I really like the incorporation of this feature into the toys, makes them seem a little more real, for toy robots that is

I have this theory. Hasbro has lost copyright to the Scavenger name, so they call the constructicons leader Demolishor now. And they printed SCVNGR sign to the non-transforming version, which is perfectly legal.
The same happened to Alternators Shockblast. The toy is called Shockblast, but it has SHKWAV on the licence plate:

1. Demolisher and Scavenger are the same guy. We do not know which name will be the final one, but given that "Demolishor" is confirmed to be the name of the Voyager toy, it seems more likely. Then again, Scavenger was the name of one of the original Constructicons (and had the same altmode as this one), so it fits too.decepticon legion wrote:First-Aid wrote:OK..maybe I'm missing something.

2. It's not likely that Hasbro has lost the rights to the name "Scavenger". It's one of those names that's well known enough to not lose so easily. It's like the names "Prowl" or "Ironhide". Hasbro won't lose those names so easily either.
3. "Scavenger was probably the preliminary name for Demolishor. Someone probably didn't get the memo about the name change and thus leaving us with two names for the same guy.
The name of the $100 set is called "Constructicon Devastator".Scaleface wrote:Does anyone even know if there will officially be "Constructicons" in the movie at all?

But a really big Decepticon that towers over Optimus Prime zipping around on a unicycle is the stupidest thing I've ever seen. And I thought nothing could be worse than George Clooney's flip out ice skates in the Batman film that almost killed the franchise but this actually beats it.
Hated the Vehicon robot modes in Beast Machines and can't believe they're bringing something so stupid into the film.
Millions to spend on a movie budget and this is what we get? I'm almost ready to give up on Transformers. I mean the realistic bad ass alien robot concept we got in the first film has just been negated. The robot designers for these films should be flogged. First Scorponok and now this garbage. We'll be getting tributes to Alpha Trion's beard and Rattrap's stupid buck teeth next.

I was confused about that, too. It seems like his name could be scavnger, considering all the similarities to G1, but the box says Demolisher. Does the voyager version hve "SCVNGR" Printed on it anywhere?
And another thing I was wondering, do the other six constructicons have separate versions that can transform? Or is Demolisher/Scavenger the only one who has two versions of himself.

Similar Vehicle modes, 2 different characters. They ar not the same.

The gears aren't actually in the shoulders, they're most likely those silver gear shafts you see in the upper arms.

No, one character with two different toys. One is the individually sold one and the other is from the combiner giftset.

That picture does have 7 vehicles, but everything we have heard says Devastator is now 6 vehicles. He's a excavator (Demolishor), scoop loader, crane, dump truck, cement mixer and a bulldozer (Rampage).
Posted by Sabrblade on February 20th, 2009 @ 6:35pm CST
Why did you quote yourself?
Can you point out on the image where the these two shovels are on Devastator's body, as you claim them to be?
And, the Voyager Demolisher toy cannot combine with the Devastator components. Just like how Deluxe Rampage cannot either, which is why a second, much larger Rampage toy is a Devastator component.
Posted by Robinson on February 20th, 2009 @ 7:11pm CST
Looking back at the picture the 2nd shovel in the photo is the right arm.

One excavator. Demolisher forms the torso. They made two slightly different versions because one transforms into an individual robot( which I have on my computer desk right now) and the other doesnt, only forms the torso for the giftset. They probably put SCVNGR on the side to differentiate between the two versions because they are indeed the same character. There aren't any steam shovel/excavator arms, that set is what we are getting and the individual tf'ing bots, for now.

yes yes i understand that he doesn't have 2 legs like the rest, but are we so use to watching our favorite cartoon from the 80's, that we can't expand our imagination a little that all robots doesn't have to have 2 legs!!

Or are they just going to play dumb and hope we all forgot ???
Brawl's name in the first movie was a mistake that Bay did on purpose. He like the sound of the name "Devastator" beter than the name "Brawl". Brawl's name is still Brawl, no matter what. The Reign of Starscream fixed this error by reshowing the same movie scene where the Decepticons state their names and replaced the name "Devastator" with "Brawl".
Devastator will be called "Devastator" in ROTF. One intentional error on Bay's behalf will not stop that.
