"Prepare for Devastation!"[2]
Devastator was a giant monstrous man-eating Decepticon Combiner made up of several of the Constructicons. During the production of "Transformers Revenge of the fallen", Devastator was responsible for frying several of ILM computers, due to extensive processing power required for loading him. Devastator was extremely powerful and even more violent, with an unfortunately limited mental capacity, he would really only be used to destroy on a genocidal level. He was used during the Battle of Egypt to uncover the Star Harvester. Devastator could also create powerful gravity wells by generating an artificial black hole with his Vortex Grinder, located in his mouth where nearby objects are sucked into his gaping mouth and devoured. Megatron commanded Devastator to kill Mudflap and Skids, though was unsuccessful.

History[]
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen []
Mixmaster, Scavenger, Scrapper, Hightower, Scrapmetal, Overload, Long Haul, and Skipjack all met up with each other in Egypt on the orders of Megatron and Megatronus. His 8 components then transformed and combined, making Devastator (the Mixmaster becomes the head and neck, Scavenger becomes the torso, Scrapper becomes the right arm, Hightower becomes the left arm, Scrapmetal becomes the hand as they both connect with each other to make the arm, Overload becomes the waist, and Long Haul & Skipjack become both right and left legs) who came together with a scary roar. He instantly started taking giant steps towards Seymour Simmons and the Autobots Skids and Mudflap. Devastator then began feasting on everything around him, including the ground and a Volkswagen van. Devastator even devoured Mudflap whole, who was unable to hold on. Devastator then coughed, not expecting to get the Autobot and let out a disgusting belch. Devastator got another nasty surprise when he realized that Mudflap was not dead, and the little Autobot punched his way out of the Combiner through its head, ripping through one of his eyes. Enraged, Devastator tried to buck Mudflap off, firing off wayward missiles in the process, but Mudflap just shot him in the face, and both Skids and Mudflap try to slow the giant Constructicon down by climbing onto Devastator, but both of the twins accidentally fell off when Mudflap accidentally shot Skids in the face.
After failing to kill the Twins and Seymour Simmons, Megatron yelled Devastator's name from atop the Great Pyramid of Giza to end the twins' distraction. Devastator clambered out of the construction pit and grappled his way to the peak of the pyramid, where he used his vortex grinder to suck up the stones that hid the star harvester inside. By this point, Simmons had made his way to the pyramid, and he radioed a nearby navy ship to fire its experimental rail gun, which had been developed based on studies of Megatron during his captivity at Hoover Dam. The railgun successfully strikes Devastator, completely blowing off Scrapper which was holding on to the pyramid. With the massive injury that Devastator just received and the force at which the railgun strike hit Devastator, caused him to lose his balance and come tumbling down the pyramid, causing Devastator to shatter back into his components as he tumbled from the pyramid. Devastator's head (Mixmaster) eventually comes to a complete stop only after bouncing a couple hundred meters from the body, putting an end to Devastator's rampage.
Alternative timeline[]
Toy bios[]
After getting dismantled by the railgun, at least some of the components that formed him at the time survived the ordeal. Ironhide made it his mission to hunt the components down one-by-one, starting with Mixmaster (Funny irony in the video game Transformers: Dark of the Moon, Ironhide fought with Mixmaster and killed him).[3]
Devastator was last seen partially deactivated (presumably due to damage wrought to him by the railgun) and hiding in the African disaster zone.
Video Game History[]
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen - The Game (Xbox 360/PS3/PC)[]
Devastator was unleashed in Cairo and began causing destruction with the NEST forces and Military army proving useless against the armour, also backed up by numerous Combaticon Warrior drones. Thankfully, Bumblebee/Other Autobot would arrive to confront the behemoth. By first destroying his back missile launchers, hip and arm-mounted weaponary while also dealing with the Combaticon Warrior drones and avoiding getting sucked into the vortex grinder, his armored control node on his forehead would become vulnerable to damage. Once the node was destroyed, Devastator would collapse on the street, ending his reign of terror.

Errors/Trivia[]
- Considering how Hasbro confirmed the Yellow Bulldozer to be one of the alt modes for Scrapmetal, In one scene when the Constructicons are about to combine, Scrapmetal is a Volvo EC700C Excavator instead of a Caterpillar M930 Bulldozer, But in the next scene, when Scavenger raises his scoop before forming the torso, If you look closely, he is back as a Caterpillar M930 Bulldozer again.
- Devastator's face has a different color in the concept art version, compared to the movie. In the concept art version, Devastator's face is white. While in the official movie, Devastator's face is crimson red. Oddly enough, the movie videogame adaptation and some various toyline featuring Devastator's face color based on concept art.
- There are many theories on how many Constructicons form up to create Devastator. The most prominent theory is that there are 9 to 10 Constructicons that form up Devastator, but this theory is not OFFICIALLY collaborated. Hasbro officially confirmed that it was 8 Contructicons that form up Devastator with the release of live action size chart.
- Some people think Skipjack is the foot and Payload/yellow Dump truck is the remainder of the leg. This theory can be disproven since Devastators' left leg contains no parts from Payload.
Notes[]
- Studio series' Devastator's design took many inspirations from the Supreme Class Devastator and the Legends Class Devastator toys.
- The head, right arm and legs were sourced from the Supreme Class Devastator,
- As for the design of torso and lower waist was taken form the Legends Class Devastator as this is the only toy where Scavenger combines with Overload.
- Concept art comes before everything including toys and Animation models so the Devastator that appeared in the movie was not inspired by the toys.
- Toy bios Studio Series Scrapmetal indicates that Scrapmetal was present in Egypt during Operation: Firestorm. He combined with his fellow Constructicons to form the mighty Devastator, forming the left hand of the monstrous titan. The above statement could potentially mean that with the same subtle retcon Hasbro made with Skipjack being the left leg of Devastator rather than Rampage.
- Many of the Constructions who formed Devastator also appear in the Battle of Egypt at the same time.
- There was a Mixmaster look alike that was killed by Jetfire.
- There was a Scrapper and Long Haul that chased Sam and Mikaela and who later were killed during the airstrike.
- Its widely agreed up on that the Constructicons that form up Devastator are the real ones and the other constructicons look a likes are clones.
- Devastator was voiced by Frank Welker who was the original first voice of Megatron from The Hasbro Transformers Franchise and as well as Galvatron from The Transformers Franchise after The Transformers: The Movie and as well as once again the voice of Megatron in Transformers: Prime and Transformers: The Last Knight and as well as once again as Galvatron in Transformers: Age of Extinction. Though he would be voice by Fred Tatasciore in the Games.
- Studio series' Devastator's design took many inspirations from the Supreme Class Devastator and the Legends Class Devastator toys.

Trivia[]
- When smashing the pyramid, his hand was travelling at a whopping 390 miles per hour.
- When Hasbro was asked about if any of Devastator 's toy will include the wrecking balls, they replied straight out "no".
- Devastator's model was so complex and detailed that it allegedly cause one of the computer to fail during production according to Shawn Kelly, catching fire and it's inside to melt. This could likely explain Devastator's short screen time in the final movie, likely to avoid any more devastated computers.
