By now everyone has seen the Superbowl Teaser for Transformers Revenge of the Fallen. You haven’t? Well go look.. I will wait here.
Well speculation was that the massive bot (from which we see Optimus Prime dangling like a toddler) from was our first peek at Devastator – the combined effort of the Decepticon subset known as the Constructicons. It’s not.
The unnamed Transformer which has been referred to as the figure’s alt mode: “Steam Shovel” appears to look exactly like the Transformer at the end of the Super Bowl clip. TFW2005 user yizhi521 has even posted an image of the toy with a Legends Of Cyberton series Optimus Prime hanging on to the figure, and it looks very much to scale. I’m not sure about you guys, but the image below looks a lot like the huge transformer shown at the end of the teaser.
I understand why people would think that it was Devastator. I assumed as much too. Check out this picture of the toy with the still from the trailer:
I think we are in for a BIG reveal when we finally get to see Devastator fully assembled as the massive threat he really should be.
See, back in the day Devastator was the shit. When the Constructicons formed Devastator the Autobots got an involuntary oil change. Then marketing came along and combiners were in style and mega bots were littered all over. Until Metroplex came along, but I digress…
But in this movie, with the absence of Megatron (assuming) some people are getting the idea that the efforts of the Autobots, (even with Starscream and the Decepticons help) just couldn’t stand up to The Fallen.
Well if this Steam Shovel is just one part of Devastator, I feel sorry for The Fallen.
Devastator is going to be freaking HUGE!!!
