Transformers 2 is gearing up for it’s mid-Summer production start and IESB has a juicy rumor on the Decepticon line-up is… and trust me it’s HUGE, epic even….
Scrapper, Bonecrusher, Scavenger, Mixmaster, Hook and Long Haul
That’s right… The six constructicons that combine to transform into the huge robot known as Devastator. Obviously, some of the names will have to be changed for the sequel, since they have already used the names in the first film. Names aside, how cool is that?
Robert also has a possible cast/character listing which includes Chuck, Sam’s funny conspiracy theory-obsessed roommate at Princeton, Professor Colan - Sam’s Physics teacher, a bunch of military personnel, the CEO of Massive Dynamics who will testify in front of congress, a Texas Congressman, an FBI director, and a CNN Reporter.
Check out a vintage Transformers toy commercial featuring Devastator after the jump.

Sweet! i wonder if the Autobots will get a big fella on there side too…? anyone for dino-bots? Me Grimlock say you full of cesium salami!

Seeing Devastator on the big screen in another live action Transformers is going to be one hell of a highlight. Let’s hope they get it right… keeping in mind it IS a sequel. *shudder*.

This shouldn’t be a forced sequal because Transformers has a lot of stuff to draw there stories from. It isn’t like they need to create new characters etc

wat.. the constructacons were ’sold separately’ o.O

But Bonecrusher got owned like a bitch by Optimus. Remember? Arm-blade through the skull!

@ blackgirl
i just gotta say that in all my years of internet surfing/blogging/reading, your post was the most random and unbelievably kick ass post i have ever read. in fact, that may be the finest strung together four sentences i have ever read in my life. i really don’t know what transformers & interracial online dating have to do with each other - but who gives a shit, i’m in. you got mad skills to be that random. i’m seriously dumbfounded, great stuff.
btw, i too hope they take their sweet time in making this film. this is an important piece of my childhood being brought to film, and if they can at least match the quality of pt 1, i’m more than thrilled. now to top it….

@orange cinema
are you on crack, buddy?
wtf is this blackgirl post?

Dan and orange: I deleted the comment from blackgirl as it was a spam robot that somehow got through our filters, which might answer some of your questions orange.

If they can bring back Bonecrusher who got his head removed by Optimus I hope that they do the same for Jazz.
April 4th, 2008 at 5:02 am
Doubtful, as the article says, they’ll probably just do a namechange for one of the destructicons…. but then again, maybe the rest of them come to earth to avenge the death of bonecrusher…and they rebuild him or something…that’d be pretty cool.

I don’t understand why Michael is said to be the “perfect director” for a Transformers film.
What does that actually mean?
Because I would have thought it would be hard for just about anyone to go far wrong with the action scenes. It was the character and story that really needed to be paid attention to.
I enjoyed the first film in the same way I “enjoyed” movies like Bad Boys - it’s action comedy. That’s what Michael Bay does.
But I still think that the movie had a lot more potential than just superficial action comedy.

Manfred,
I honestly think Transformers should be kept on that level. The cartoon was nothing deep. And people should just let go of their aspirations to turn this into something like that. I don’t want this to be turned into a franchise with some sort of intelligent message. It’s perfect as an action film.
I just want to see robots beating the crap out of each other. I don’t care about the humans.

I gotta believe short of hiring the swede’s to do this film, that it would be anything less then a massive money making machine. Pretty hard to fuck this up. You could put in Hot Rod and a bunch of stuff from the 100s of transformers cartoons that have popped up over the years. Throw in some beast wars stuff too and don’t explain it whatsoever and it’ll make a 100 mil opening weekend.
April 4th, 2008 at 10:34 am
Yes, the Constructicons were sold separately and also as a boxed collectors set I believe… At least the Aerialbots were.. god I feel old….

“some of the names will have to be changed for the sequel, since they have already used the names in the first film.”
This is why Michael Bay has no business directing a transformer movie. I’m shock Optimus Prime didn’t get his name changed too.
I got an idea! Lets switch every ones names around and then blow some stuff up! Michael Bays a hack. I normally wouldn’t cast stones but I’m sure I (or anyone who actually played with transformers) could trump Bays directing abilities by leaps and bounds.

Seriously pumped cause Devestator has always been my fav bot.
Now don’t F it up Bay!
Where is that mock up pic from?
If that was exactly how he looked I’d be happy and a clam.

Lenny,
Pretty sure thats a fan-made picture. You can find slew of these masturbatory 3d pics on the net from various hardcore fans forums.
