Debate Time: What is that Huge Transformer at the End?

By now its likely that you’ve watched the Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen teaser that I posted a little while ago. And now that you’ve had time to do some cleaning with your Shamwow and watch it a few times, I believe we should begin talking about what’s important: What is that huge transformer at the end?

The debate is raging over on Twitter, where opinions have emerged from the likes of /Film’s Peter Sciretta, Latino Review’s George Roush and yours truly. It has also spilled onto the boards over at TW2005, where users are now talking about whether or not that gigantic baddie is “The Devastator” or just one of its pieces. Personally, I am inclined to think that if this isn’t the Devastator, and is only a piece, that the combined robot that it would help form would be comically big — as in, way too big. So while I can’t say for sure — though I’m hoping that some of you can — I’m curious. Curious to see if Bay takes it to the realm of ridiculous, which wouldn’t surprise me.

From here I will let you debate it out: Do you think that the giant Decipticon at the end of the Transformers 2 teaser is the Devastator, or just one of its pieces?

    So i've worked it out. The big transformer at the end is just 1 transformer. It's Scavenger.
    Watch the new trailer in HD which you can download from www.michaelbay.com. During the trailer it says directed by MIchael Bay and hit pause. Then in frame by frame pause mode the next thing you will see is scavenger (which is a giant digger) who's caterpillar tracks clearly become 2 huge wheels and the head is identical to the bike from hell. There are even helicopters near by which suggest to me this right before the scene where he attacks them in the trailer.
    The good news is that Devastator (or whatever he will be called since they cleverly used that name on brawl the tank) is gonna have to be around 6 times the size of scavenger. I can't wait to the constructicons combine :-)

    I can't say for sure if this is just one transformer or some combination of constructicons put together, (could it be 2 or 3 of them together forming something smaller than the completed devastator?). What I can say with some certainty is that, after looking very closely at the trailer frame by frame, this robot looks like some kind of monstrous motorcycle with the main body suspended between the two wheels having the ability to spin 360 so either wheel could be the front one. In both segments of the trailer that you get a good look at him it looks as if he is popping a front wheelie while decelerating (attacking the helicopter, smashing the bridge), with this being especially visible at the very end of the trailer as you can the rear wheel rising behind him after smashing the overpass. Of course this is just mine and my wife's speculation, she actually noticed most of this, but I would be interested to see if anyone else agrees with this or might have some further insight upon looking closer.

    This is the toy line of what you saw in the trailer, it is one of the constructicons...I repeat...ONE of them...there you go...
