In antic­i­pa­tion of the 2009 Toy Fair the lat­est Has­bro Press Release out­lines the Trans­form­ers 2 toy line, due for release along­side the movie. This includes con­fir­ma­tion that Dev­as­ta­tor will be in the movie and is made up of 6 constructicons.

Inter­est­ingly, this con­flicts with the con­cept design we have seen, which clearly shows 7 or even 8 robots com­bin­ing to form Dev­as­ta­tor. It is pos­si­ble that this is an early con­cept and that the design of Dev­as­ta­tor has since changed, some sug­gest the body now has a cen­tral cement mixer ‘drum’ which acts like a suck­ing vor­tex. It’s also entirely pos­si­ble that the toy has just been sim­pli­fied to ease con­struc­tion and lower costs.

..And, long-time fans will be thrilled with one the most pow­er­ful DECEPTICONS, the new TRANSFORMERS MOVIE CONSTRUCTICON DEVASTATOR fig­ure, a mon­strous robot that com­bines six vehi­cles into one giant robot.
