Well, AFAIK this hasn't been formally stated. Demolishor is seen getting his head cut off in the ShoWest footage. Credit goes to user 'scalan15' for suggesting it. Here's the proof. Here's a crop of the scene of Demolishor running through the overpass. Here's the mysterious 'exploding thing' scene from the ShoWest footage. The head is upside down, and the fireball is where Demolishor's neck would attach to it.
It's possible he ends up healing? You could arge that as long as his spark was undamaged he could recover.
A few people mentioned that exploding thing was his head, I wasn't sure at first but looking at both those pics those mandible things at his "chin" definitely match up. I presume it's Prime that decaps him. If so, we're certainly getting more Optimus kicking ass this time around.
Nice catch. If it is Prime that decapitates him (and I hope it is) then thank goodness. No more Prime getting slapped around by Megatron like a ragdoll like in the first film. From the trailers and the Showest stuff, even though he gets punted at one point, it looks like he's more of a badass this time around.
The constructicons revive Spoiler megatron and blackout . i doubt they're the only ones that the constructicons revive. We'll see more characters coming back.
I did not come up with that on my own, I think I read it somewhere online and put two and two together, when I first saw the showest footage I did think that it was either a protoform that landed or someone's head, with these pictures you can clearly see the redness of demolisher's head, i think his body will be used to make "Scavenger", who will form the torso of devastator
And he changes his paint job too, while travelling between continents? Demolishor is white guy with red stripes, rh400, which is part of Devastator, is red with white stripes. Mark my words, they are two different rh400 . Or maybe Demolishor is changing his paintjob, maybe to camouflage himself after destruction he did in China.
It would be a shame if Demolishor dies. I would rather have Starscream, Barricade or Sideways decapitated. Being the big evil bicycle, Demolishor shouldn't go down that easily.
