Very exciting news. At least two of these vehicles appear to be utterly monstrous in scale and even the smaller ones look really big. Now I just have to hope the robot form won't be a giant metal spider or something..
a person:
...Interesting.
The dump-truck looks to be a different model than what was shown with the concept art for Long Haul.

Seriously, The 49ers all wear the same uniform, the Marines have the same uniform, that's part of being a TEAM.. The Constructicons are a team within the Decepticon faction, and should all be the same color. *sigh*
Sad... as of right now, the RAIDERS have a better score card than Michael Bay.... heh | -A.S.

One thing to consider is that construction vehicles tend to look samey. Making them in different colours means you can at least try to tell them apart.

Torque:
OMG this is gonna be  though why two dump trucks?

Akumaxv:
As awesome as all this is, I can't shake this nagging feeling that they are going to build up all this anticipation for Devastator and have a human defeat him by stringing a rope across a street and having him trip or something. They might as well have him slip on a banana peel.
I just can't see the vehicles being the sizes we are seeing now. With seven robots combining, Devastator is going to be the size of a skyscraper. That's going to look ridiculous on screen unless they are planning to have the Autobots and him duke it out in the desert or the ocean.
Lion:
This is gonna be great. Is anyone working on photoshop devi already?? Come on, get on it!!!
DrLee:
I'm not going to repeat my opinion on the authenticity of TFW TF2 Insiders reports....but i think this could be an interesting foe for the movie....

Fosterlager:
They look like great choices of vehicles. I'm eager to see the toys.
Deonasis:
Strange they are all from different companies. Is there a parent company (like GM) for all of these?

yovnocrats:
Anyone care to place guesses down on how the body will be split up? I think I'd prefer each lower leg to be a vehicle each. Then the hips and thighs be one robot. Then have the upper torso/ shoulders/ head be two robots attached vertically like Jetstorm and Jetfire. Then the two arms be individual robots.

DrLee:
There's also the fact That all the source does is say 'XYZ' and it's taken as fact.... They don't provide anything that backs up the statements.
If it's real.. then please give us somekind of proof other than your word....
If it's false........then why did i see a comment stating that the source is accurate from someome in power on here?
rapid_fire:
tfw staff don't get their news from someone who "found" leaked info or anything liek that.
they get this info from the higher ups working on these projects, guys like aaron archer, etc.
sure, things are always subject to change, but its reliable info that is true at the time

Bahamut Prime:
COOOL!!!! Can't wait to see him in action when all these vehicles (along with the seventh) are together!

I second the idea of a symmetrical-docked torso, but then where would the head come from? Hopefully not like Animated Safeguard, the Two-Face look would kinda suck for Devastator.

Think about the TF animated "news" that was fake recently. How many times have the official movie crew told us something wasn't this or that and it turned out to be?

Can you remember anytime he has given wrong info?

This is good news, especially if that beige D9L turns out to be a reanimated Bonecrusher.

I'll take ALL info with a huge grain of salt, til I'm sitting in the theatre on 6.26.09.

Devestator rise!
Awesome news indeed!

Maybe they are in Dubai constructing some ridiculous thing that people in dubai have been building and combine, and that is when the rumored Autobot battleship transformer docked at Dubai transforms to battle the combined Devistator
or something like that
Moonscream:
Huh...something about them being such a cacophony of colors sounds a bit off. No, I don't want green and purple - just some better color coordination.
Still...freaking huge! OOOO!
--Moony
Moy:
So does this mean BONECRUSHER won't be in the movie?
Please don't tell me so..
Moy:
Can anyone ask Bay or Orci if BONECRUSHER is returning?
Obliterator:
Can I inject some common sense into this thread?
Having looked at the altmodes in the first post, I can say it probably won't happen. Here's why I think that:
1: None of those vehicles are street legal. Many are shipped to the location where they'll work in pieces, assembled on the spot, and never leave the area. Even the big dump truck is done that way.
2: Even the cheapest of the vehicles is still up in the million dollar price range. The Big Dump truck is around 7 million, while the big excavator runs over 10 million. Even renting them for a few days would kill the budget, which would mean Devastator would have to die within the first 3 minutes of forming.
If we do get Devastator in TF2, he'll probably be made from the common construction vehicles you see working on the streets of your hometown. Which would still make for one big bot. llamatron:
I'm sure someone else has already mentioned this, but the Bulldozer is "beige" - and Bonecrusher was kind of beige (ish) in the first movie... MAYBE HE'S COMING BACK!?!?
Oh boy I do love starting wild rumours.
Smeg:
Oh shit Bumblebee, what are we gonna do now?
Methos:
I just hope we don't have to wait half a year after the movie to build Devastator.
Incepticon:
Even if this ends up being true, I'm holding back my excitement/cynicism until I see what the finished version looks like. I have a feeling it will be such a mess of mashed & splintered metal that there's a good chance it won't end up looking like anything at all, let alone a giant robot that you can tell head from tail.

If ILM could make real-looking dinosaurs for Jurassic Park fifteen years ago, just imagine how realistic they could make computer-generated construction vehicles look today. I'm not saying that every single shot of these vehicles will be computer generated, but if using the actual vehicles would kill the budget as you claim, it'd probably be easier to go the computer-generated route for the vast majority of the shots and composite them in.
