Questions about the Final Fights *SPOILER*

My take and theories

1. I thought the twins just quit, I mean, I would've. Devs just starts heading toward the pyramid, no need to pursue him when I'm either a twin or Leo.

2. I figured, the way the autobots were dismembering 'Cons left and right, a final battle with Devs would have been sweet, but over way too quickly, even lamer if they would've added a few deaths when the 'Bots take down Devs.

3. I would think that Soundwave scanned construction trucks and put up the alt modes for free pickings, or maybe Constructicon is soldier type several 'Cons managed to reach. Also, the Constructicons that make up Devs seem to only turn into limbs or vehicles.

4. The way they brought back Megs and Blackout into Grindow made it seem like anyone can be brought back. Especially since only a head was cut off and the 'Con's spark wasn't extenguished, as we see Starscream re-attach his arm after Prime cuts it off. Not sure if beheading actually kills TF's.

1. The twins managed to hurt him a little bit, but did no serious damage. Really, I'm surprised they managed to hurt him at all. They only fought to save themselves. Once Devastator was sent after the pyramid, I'm sure even they had enough sense to leave well enough alone.

2. First, even if you insist on following the in-movie error of calling the tank from the first one Devastator, can you really believe there's any chance at all these two robots are the same being? One's an individual while the other is a combination of seven others. Their sizes are orders of magnitude apart, their appearances have nothing at all in common, and their combat methods are completely different. They're no more the same being than I and the other 237 bajillion Steve Smiths in the world are the same person.

Second, you might want to rewatch the first movie to refresh your memory. Brawl/Devastator wasn't killed by humans. First, he was temporarily incapacitated by Ironhide, Ratchet, and Jazz triple-teaming him. When he got back up, he traded fire with the soldiers, pinning them down. Lennox even comments, "This isn't going well." He probably would've ended up killing the soldiers eventually, but along came Bumblebee (assisted by Mikaela), who managed to finish him off. The humans helped, but it was the Autobots that did all the serious damage.

I was disappointed by how Devastator died in RotF though. The Navy just happens to have a ship with an experimental superweapon within firing range... I woud've rather seen Optimus plow through Devastator on the way to confronting The Fallen, or even the Twins managing to find some vulnerability.

3. Yes, there are numerous Constructicons, apparently each with one of a handful of stock body types. E.g., Demolishor was killed at the start of the film, yet there's another excavator forming Devastator's body. According to the film's writers, Devastator is basically just formed out of whatever Constructicons are nearby. They didn't go into details, so it's not clear how to interpret that. Is Devastator capable of pulling together even more Constructicons to become even larger and more powerful? Or did them mean that any random Constructicon can become any given body part for Devastator? Or just that any given Long Haul-type Constructicon can become a leg? Impossible to say without further clarification.

4. That's presumably not Bonecrusher (the bot from the first film). It's just some other bot who has the same body type. It's the same deal as Grindor (the helicopter that fights Prime along with Megatron and Starscream) being nearly identical to Blackout (the helicopter from the first film). Or all the identical Constructicons. They really should have done something to make this more clear within the film.

It's basically just applying Hasbro's repaint policy to the film franchise. There are lots of bots out there physically identical to each other. But where the different bots would have different color schemes in previous series, the movie bots only take on a color scheme as needed for their alt mode disguises. Notice how all the Autobots in the first film started off as silver colored robots before scanning a vehicle. Also note how Megatron has very little coloring (since he never took an Earth mode). Same goes for Soundwave and a few generic Decepticons seen in the final battle for RotF. If two movie bots of identical body types both scan the same type of vehicle, they're going to have basically identical appearances.

the same reason any of the other legion mistakes or continuity errors are in there.

NO. he was called brawl. devastator was a name from an old early version of the script that accidentally got left in, bay was not happy about this. and of course he got killed by humans, bay doesn't get special access to all this military equipment without giving the army some good PR in return.

yes, contsructicons are all just generic drones.

this was absolutely ridiculous, if it was just like eg. blackout being reused, to save money on making a new cgi model, fair enough. this isn't what happened though. they actually went to the expense and trouble of getting a dead characters real life vehicle onset to drive it around in one single shot. i can only assume his bot mode was there too, but they realised how ridiculous it was and cut it out, but forgot to cut out the vehicle too.

in all, that they regard anyone apart from the main characters as being background filler, not worth worrying about details over. also, that the writers strike meant they were on a wing and a prayer and writing the thing right up till the last day, so there was no time to check for mistakes and oversights. just dont bother thinking about the movie in too much detail, it wont get you anywhere, because the writers and editors clearly didnt think about it in much detail themselves.

There were a couple of continuity errors, to do with characters being 'resurrected' from the first movie, but the final fight was awesome. The only thing I didn't like was the use of Devastator -the Twins should have both been sucked up and crushed to pieces.

Thought the scene where Sam pulls the Insecticon apart and Starscream finds them was awesome. It was really tense and had a great build-up to it.

They hit eachother and fall into the ground.

1° movie character is "Brawl". Labeling him as "Devastator" was an error.

There are lots of theories about this one. The most accepted is that the Protoforms who crashed in Egypt scanned the Constructicons vehicle alt-modes.

It wasn't him, it's just an similiar vehicle.

Guys bonecrusher WAS in robot mode in the final fight, you see him firing machine guns mounted on his hand, as he blasts away the arcee twins, Ironhide does a signature roll and yells "SAM GET TO THE PILLARS"


Just like in the first movie, rolling around shooting starscream "SAM GET TO THE BUILLDINNG"

who was the bot on the brooklyn bridge? j/k

Mixmaster.
