See, I'm picturing him shooting down planes en masse with that kind of green blast thing. Though he's offensively based, I visualize him as the Omega Supreme type - the guardian at the gates. To get at the 'cons, they have to go through HIM. Not to mention a Seeker army. Think the assault on Tepperin from Gurren Lagann, with Devastator as the Tepperin-Gunmen and an army of Seekers guarding him.
Call it a pre-emptive strike - it will happen, as it does in every sodding movie thread. And people who use such pathetic epithets in place of any reasoned argument are idiots, full stop.
Thing is, the CC we've seen isn't that part of Devs. He might have a part in it, as it looks as though his wheels could be the back part of the neck, but the head, and probably a decent amount of the neck (at least the sides of it) is the cement mixer, not the excavator.
I can see it now.. crowds let out of the first showing, people are murmuring to one another and people in line keep hearing "King Kong! Godzilla! Wall-E! Aliens! Predators! Bionicles!" and wondering, "WOW! What's in this film?!"
The reason why it is lazy has nothing to do with recycling the name in different storylines. There are a grand total of 60ish bots spread out over the first two movies, right? And out of literally thousands of TF names, Bay chose Devastator twice. As a writer, that bothers me. Good thing we're down to the last problem with the movies though. Except for his face, I like the Devastator design. I certainly wouldn't want the Constructicons forming Tripredacus or something.
Please go on with how people will try to rob you of your opinion, throw you into the gulag, and strip you of all your humanity. I'll be the one over in the corner with the
Ok... hmmm... this will be a hard post for me to make. Anyone who has looked at any of my previous posts will know I have no love for the Bay film, or the designs... That being said, I must say, I DO love this design. Not as good as Barricade, but this honestly looks like what a "Devastator" would look like. The back? The hips? The chest? We can't see everything. "Big Wheel" is the torso/ chest. I'm interested in how they combine. Obviously they aren't going to do the "Voltron" transformation (floating in the air, with strobelights flashing while combining). I imagine all 7 vehicles driving at each other at high speed, get in a massive car wreck, then standing up as a frikkin' monster. Other than Barricade, this is the only movie concept that honestly works for me, and I'm excited about.
This gave me a laugh. Most of you guys are getting it wrong, though; from what we've heard (and what we've seen, now), Devastator has a turbine behind his mouth. So he's going to suck things in, not shoot things out. Oh, and throw in the obligatory OMG AWESOME here. I hope if Devastator speaks, he sounds exactly like the Planet Smasher from Ziltoid the Omniscient. I don't think those are wings, they look like a second pair of folded-up arms. Look-- you can see the hands against his waist. Oh, and throw in the second obligatory OMG AWESOME here. Yes, The Fallen LOOKS skinny and weak, but that's part of the point. I'm sure he could kill you 500 different ways just by raising an arm.
I agree. Frankly, I would prefer this method over anything else. With "You've got the Touch" playing.
I don't think Fallen looks weak at all, skinny yes but it's more creepy death god skinny than puny skinny.
No you won't, you'll be enjoying yourself as always being as deeply unpleasant and sarcastic to as many people as possible. And you have the temerity to call other people trolls. Hilarious.
So you already know, in advance, that ROTF has neither of the above? If so, any chance you can tell me Saturday's lottery numbers?
I'm liking this design actually, but why do the Decepticons have to have more than two eyes. I know they are more than meets the eye, but they have more eyes than meet the need.
