Could be. After all, Brawl is only "Devastator" thanks to one subtitle.

 

Not very encouraging, not counting Devy out just yet but not looking good.

 

Geez. Why does every prediction/fear I have for the new movie toyline come true? o_o;

It might not be a case of Energon Prime, to be optimistic. The constructicon we see on the recent news article looks like more than a limb or torso, and I can see it totally having a robot mode, so it's possible they can all fully transform as well as combine.

Here's hopin'?

 

Well after reading the whole thread, I'm pleased with the happy ending. Good to hear that 6 out of 7 will have bot modes after all.

 

Ok, I never did see this information. Seems kinda odd that one bot wouldn't have a bot-mode of it's own. I'll have to google Truss Crane to see which one that is. I hope that all 7 of them have bot-modes, but I'll take whatever I can get. Would be cool if the one that doesn't have a bot-mode could easily be kitbashed to contain a bot-mode of it's own, but also retain it's other modes.

Edit: Ok, it's this thing: http://www.kobelcocranesnorthamerica.com/images/CK850.gif

So that almost confirms that the one we've seen to pictures of will more than likely have it's own bot-mode.

 

It is said the limb bots will have non-combining deluxes with robot modes. That is most likely what we saw in the new pics. It does not in any way disprove the notion that there will be a drones type combiner.

Zombie thread!!!!!!!!

 

S250, the one who brought us the info about the "drone combiner parts" himself has disproved it. According to his last post on the subject, all but 1 of the bots that combine have their own individual bot-modes.

 

Oh, ok. I missed the last line on there. Or rather, I mis-read it.

But why give them all bot modes but one?

 

hmm, im not sure what to think about that setup, esp. with the new picks that are out, though its hard to tell anything from them. but we've heard that the cement truck is part of the chest, so it messes with the setup posted above

 

Not sure, which is why I think that all seven of them might actually have their own bot-modes.

Not really. I've been thinking about it and the list S250 made doesn't really list any one of them as being the torso, so I think the torso is a combination of the shoulders and the "head". I honestly don't think the entire cement mixer is going to only turn into his head. That and the only part of the cement mixer that is supposed to be in the torso is the mixing barrel. I could easily see the rest of the truck making up the head and neck.

 

what a gyp. you have to buy 2 sets of figure/design to 'complete' the group   lame

 

It won't be so bad if one of Devastator's parts is a bot with nice transformation. Still disappointing though.

On a side note... I bet Devastator will transform behind a building in the movie so we won't get to see much of it. That would suck right there.

 

Seriously? Devastator combining would be the money shot of the whole movie. I'm pretty sure we will see it onscreen.
