One of the biggest Transformers toys ever made, the Constructicon Devastator brings the power of the Decepticons to your home. Having appeared in the summer blockbuster Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, Devastator can disassemble into six, smaller, fully functional Transformer vehicles. With its motion-activated sounds and movie-accurate detail, this toy is a must-have for any Transformers collector, ages five years and older.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, Devastator Ages: 5+ Requires: 2 "AA" batteries (included) Phillips screwdriver Adult unpacking/assembly

What We Think Fun factor: Durability: Ease of assembly: Educational factor: The Good: A large, detailed Transformer toy that's six toys in one. The Challenging: Tough vehicle-to-robot conversion may be too much of a challenge for younger children. In a Nutshell: A massive Transformers toy that does justice to its movie inspiration; great for young fans and older collectors alike.

Pulling a lever will cause Devastator's "Vortex Grinder" to open and light up. View larger.

Your Own Transformers Experience
Staying true to the movie, Devastator is massive, standing well over a foot in height and dwarfing most other Transformers toys. He is a solid, heavy, and well-built toy. Pulling a lever on his chest causes his mouth (called the Vortex Grinder) to light up with bright, neon-green LED lights. The lever also triggers battle sounds and quotes taken straight from the movie.

Devastator isn't the most flexible toy around. Because of his size, he can be a bit cumbersome to play with. However, his elbows and knees are articulated, which makes him easier to position and balance. He also has realistic details, which gives him value as a collector's replica.

Devastator consists of six smaller construction vehicles: the Constructicons. These detailed vehicles are painted in earthy colors suited for their rough construction jobs. Together, the Constructicons form a complete construction team. There is a bulldozer, a dump truck, an excavator, a scoop loader, a mixer and a crawler crane. They prove to be very maneuverable on a hard surface, able to make hairpin turns easily. However, it should be noted that, unlike their film counterparts, these vehicles do not transform into robots individually.

An Enjoyable, Challenging Assembly
Devastator might be one of the biggest transformers around, but it's also one of the most difficult to put together. Parents should be aware that the Devastator requires some degree of finesse to assemble -- and in some cases, strength. Some of the snapping parts are especially tricky to connect together, and prove difficult to pry apart. The toy is labeled as a Level 4 conversion, so younger children will have difficulty converting the toy by themselves. It took our tester (an experienced Transformer player) nearly 15 minutes to figure everything out. Still, putting the toy together should provide a constructive challenge for older kids.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not as bad as they say it is, August 2, 2009

This review is from: Transformers Movie 2 Combiner - Construction Devastator (Toy)

I had been hearing a lot of bad things about Devastator when pics of him first got out, about an insane price tag and no robot modes, but he was the one I was looking forward to the most. I figured that I would find him and see for myself how bad he looked and if I didn't like it I wouldn't buy it. So I was at Toys R Us the other day and found the last one on the shelf and Devastator didn't look that bad to me...only the price tag did haha. While he is not as big as I had expected (Rumors where he would be 2ft tall at least, but he's a little over 1ft), its still pretty impressive to look at. When you open the box all the constructicons are already transformed into the limbs but are not connected and also a few parts like Scavengers' scoop and Mixmasters' truck cab, but all are easily connected. As in the movie Devastator is very top heavy and must be places in a hunchback or an on all-fours pose. He has and push button activated Vortex similer to the movie and His head expands a good five inchs or so and you can fit legends and scout class figures in there. The box says that transformation for him is a 4 and really I think hes been the easiest to transform out of all the transformers from ROTF! Pretty much its a turn here and pop these in and move that back motions when turning the Constructicons into vehicle mode. One thing that I really didn't like is Mixmaster won't ever shut up and there is no on-off switch and when he is transformed into a vehicle the slightest bump sends him off. All of them look great in vehicle mode exept High Tower as he is brightly colored compared to the other two yellow Constructicons. Paint details are minor as in they have none compared to the voyager and deluxe class Constructicons but I figure I'll paint him myself. So in all he is a decent figure and his price isn't for everybody but if your a fan of the movie Devastator you'll like it.

Pros:
ITS DEVASTATOR!
Quick tranformation
Vortex gimmick is cool
In Robot mode he is good scale to legends class figures

Cons:
Price tag
Paint job could have been a lot better
Not very articulated
No wrecking balls
Mixmaster could have really used an on-off switch

2.0 out of 5 stars Transformers that don't transform, September 19, 2009

= Durability:3.0 out of 5 stars  = Fun:1.0 out of 5 stars  = Educational:1.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Transformers Movie 2 Combiner - Construction Devastator (Toy)

Though the toy looks impressive when combined, the vehicles themselves don't transform. Talk about dissappointing, considering that both in the movie and in the original Devestator, the individual vehicles transformed.
You have to buy the transformable vehicles individually, but they of course cannot combine to form anything.

If they could put the best of both worlds together, easily a 5 star rating, but since they haven't, I can't imagine why anyone would give it a 5.

Devastator is back,bigger and as bad-ass as ever!Devastator is a great transformer for collectors,fans,and all age groups that are transformer fans.The only drawback to this bad boy is that the vehicles seperate do not transform into robot modes like the original G1 version.Hasbro did this on purpose it seems since longhaul,ravage,mixmaster,and scavenger(demolisher)all have individual figures of there own.This is one of the largest transformers ever made and is massive for a awesome display piece in or out of the box.Devastator has awesome features like the vortex grinder opens with lights and destruction sounds just like in the movie.Devastator also speaks with three different sayings while having conversion and motion-activated battle sounds.The poseability is outstanding with great stability for acting out battle scenes or displaying where you please.The secret for standing Devastator up is make sure the knees are bent,if you try to have him with the legs straight he will be to top heavy either way.The durability is excellent as well with secure joints and an all around solid build in robot or individual vehicle modes to handle any fight that comes his way.The transformation level is super conversion meaning there is mid-level difficulty for ones with plenty of experience.If you are a parent buying for a child of 5-6 or younger you will have to help some in the beginning.Devastator actually has a very versatile and managable transformation for all ages to be able to handle the process after a few times.The decepticons included are scavenger,scrapper,long haul,rampage,hightower,and mixmaster.Each individual transformer is well built with a easy transformation for each one to end up forming whatever seperate part of the Devastator robot.Bottom line Devastator is a well-made,high quality,10 out of 10 transformer all fans should treasure.I highly recommend Construction Devastator to all fans and collectors alike.Devastator Rocks and Transformers Rule!!!
