We got our first glimpse of the massive multi-robot Decepticon, Devastator, during the Super Bowl teaser for Michael Bay's upcoming explosive robogasm, Transformers 2: Revenge Of The Fallen. Here's the scary Constructicon in full view. More »

There was a report not too long ago about the possibility of Devastator showing up in the new movie Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. Now it seems an Insider over at TFW200 claims they've got the laundry list of construction vehicles that'll make up the Constructicons, who together will form the mega-bot. If the list is accurate, and the insider hasn't yet been wrong, let it not be said that director Michael Bay thinks small, as the combined weight of these behemoths of industry tip the scales at well over 2.5 million pounds. That's a whole lot of pissed off robot. The entire list — there's apparently seven of them — along with images of the monster vehicular modes, below the jump. More »

In case red n' blue semis and military six-by-sixes didn't offer big enough robo-thrills in the last installment of Transformers, we've now read a report Devastator, a robot formed by "seven Constructicons" (different pieces of construction equipment), will be one of the Decepticons in next summer's Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. Given Michael Bay's desire to keep giant transforming robots as realistic as possible, that many vehicles could yield a positively monstrous robot. A rendering of what "Long Haul," one of the seven, might look like, is further fanning the flames in the 'former forums already overrun with rampant flame-wars over the veracity of the claim. Of course, in the giant robot arms race, if one side has giant merging robot capabilities, you have to assume the other will step up to the plate in kind. Can somebody say "Aerialbots?"

Transformers tipster extraoirdinaire Hue Hughes sent us this constructive video tip from Access Hollywood of Michael Bay directing a scene with Shia "Spike Witwicky" LaBeouf, as he attempts to flee what still appears to us to be a Constructicon. A second scene in the video shows LaBeouf mackin' on a hottie next to a parked beater Camaro looking pre-Bumblebee and a GMC Sierra (and yes, this time we're sure of it) that looks pre-Ironhide. Anyone want to hazard a guess on plot-lines after they check out the pictures? More »
