    It's called opinion, and last I checked we were allowed to have our own.

    That said, I love this bot design! The toy could use fingers instead of just a split shovel, but I can't wait to see the rest of these, and the combined form!!

    Going off the listings, Vangelus, I wouldn't be surprised if Hasbro sells them separately as well as in a giftset. That way they can maximize sales (so kids who know their parents won't pay over 100 bucks for a toy at once can instead milk them for multiple toys, or even get some of the members and not all. For all we know parents would want to get a few guys for a birthday gift for each kid or something)

    While I understand why it was done, it's still kinda funny to me that the cab doesn't transform, it just sits on his upper arm.

    I also think he looks like some crazy titanic motorcycle in those two-wheel shots. I wonder how much he'll actually use that back wheel in the movie (it seems to be mostly off the ground in the trailer).

    Edit:
    Beat me to it.

    Like I said for the first film... Bay Transformers seem like they are HEAVILY based on
    Go-Bots. This two wheeled thing is ZOD.

    He seems to use it more for extra mobility and to clear distances. He reminds me alot of the Bat-Pod from The Dark Knight, and that was actually a very clever design when Batman was seen putting it to use.

    I distinctly remember reading awhile back that, THE DEVASTATOR ROBOT would not have individual components w/ seperate robot modes but rather just VEHICLE MODES THAT TURNED INTO A GIANT ROBOT.

    This particular figure cannot form into a Limb because it has "A SEPARATE ROBOT MODE"

    This is why I have concluded that the actual devastator gestalt will be packaged in his combined mode. and the VOYAGERS and DELUXES(INDIVIDUAL ROBOTS THAT DON'T COMBINE) will be sold in a seperate box set.

    It has not been said enough that those rumors were incorrect and based on inaccurate information, which was corrected maybe ten minutes after being originally posted.

    By looking at the pics about this steamshovel Constructicon toy, I think its insanely cool in a weird way in some ways you put him it looks like a cross between a crab and a motorcycle in one variation and the other you could make it into some sort of a GizmoDuck evil robot doppleganger from hell. But still need to see more pics of the others.

    If people watch the trailer in HD and in slow-mo, frame-by-frame, you can see that the Constructicon can use it's body in many different ways as both wheels can elevate and rotate. This provides alot of cool possibilities for battles.

    The beast machines, Vehicon vibe is strong in this one.
    I must go on a spirit quest to the oracle before I can pass judgment on this.

    It's a nice bot, it looks to simple to be a voyager class though.

    Finally. I hope this clears things up for people who thought that the excavator in the trailer was Devastator or who couldn't figure out how it went from treads to wheels and moved around.

    How the heck is Optimus going to take this thing down at the beginning of the film? lol. It's like a mouse trying to put an elephant in a headlock.

    It looks like he's either going to be spending his time on my shelf as part of Devastator or maybe in "Motorcycle" mode. I'm glad Devi is gonna be huge and all, but I'm not getting a good vibe that this guy is going to be a good stand alone figure, which makes me wonder about the others to come.
    Still, this looks about 17,000 times better than the first mangled pictures. Thanks for putting them up! Now get your camera rollin' bud and give us a video review! :)

    Looks good and official that it wasn't Devestator in the trailer. With 4 voyegers It should be big and impressive (2 feet) (considering Hasbro won't go all Blackout on us with that deluxe size figure.)
