    My hope is that if this is true, and that these are the vehicles that will be used, that Devi will have real hands, and not claws/scoops/buckets for hands. I'd be really sad if they made this huge badass robot with lobster claws for hands.

    After the first movie having a $700M+ box office and being the #1 DVD of 2007 despite only being available for 2-1/2 months of the year, I'm pretty sure the budget's already through the roof.

    I meant the proportion of the budget going into action scenes, especially with the scale of Devastator. I'm worried that we won't have much, if any, non-action robot mode talking scenes, such as Megatron w. Starscream in movie 1.

    Yea the one that lasted less than a minute.

    After seeing all the constructicons vehicles I'm more excited for this film more than ever, though people are right about not seeing ANY of these on set videos, though I have a theory that if the Fallen is as powerful as some say, he will arrive near the end and I can imagine only someone as big as Devestator being one of the few to go one on one against. I have the feeling this big guy's going to combine once and be owned by the fallen. And since he doesn't come out til the end of the movie, that's why we haven't seen any set pics, cause they're only needed for final days of filming. =(

    it would not even come close to effecting the movie sales...it would just piss off a few transformers fans....and those fans would cry and say where is "so and so" and "who and who" and "Poo and Doo" but they would still watch the movie over and over and over again ...the general public couldn't care less if old Dev was in it or not ..they just want to see things go boom! with the millions upon millions of movie goers how many do you think log onto sites like these and dig for info and use these boards?......only a very tiny percentage...I for one tend to think he is not in or at least made up of construction vehicles cuz I have not seen set pics...but maybe they will be computer generated...but I doubt it ...Bay blows up tankers and buses and all sorts of live stuff I don't think he would have exclusively cgi construct vehicles.. as long as Optimus stays in the flick with Peter Cullen as his voice I don't care if the Eifel tower transforms and fights the Empire state building

    People would come to expect Devastator. Disinformation is one thing, but when news such as this gets so big it becomes more like a promise. I can't disagree with you that the movie could be successful even without Devastator, but still the risk isn't worth taking that's why I doubt this is disinformation.

    And we don't see these guys on set because there's no way of moving and setting these vehicles up without taking up half the budget.

    Here's another good/cleaner shot.. presumably the vehicles are going to be shiny and clean at the beginning :D  Also, bonus human/vehicle reference for anyone who cares to photoshop.

    Very nice. Very very very nice. Some of those vehicles are just monstrous.

    Also, to all you 'we haven't seen any set pics yet!' guys, seriously... some of these vehicles are too darned big to be moved around without spending loads of time and money. That would not be very cost effective at all. Not to mention... I can't think of one city that would let either of those two larger than life construction vehicles (honestly, they're bigger than freakin' tanks! MUCH BIGGER!) drive down their city streets... and most of the shots we've actually seen aren't any locations outside of towns and cities.

    combiner devastator: official spokesbot of the Rainbow Coalition. whats wrong with the same colors? I see same color construction equipment all the time.


    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

    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..

    ...Interesting.

    The dump-truck looks to be a different model than what was shown with the concept art for Long Haul.

    Of the G1 combiners, only the original Constructicons and the Seacons had a colour-coordinated team. The rest were in non-matching colours. Maybe you should build a time machine and sort that out.

    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.
