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?

Well now im not too sure, but at first i was thinking it was The Devastator... If it is only one piece of it, that mean the whole thing would be massive..

chris

thats the back of devastator its tracks like tank tracks turn into wheels

I am under the belief that its just half of devastator. I think Devastator will have legs.

I think its Devasator. If its just a piece, that's insane. Devastator should only be about 4x the height of Optimus Prime, if even that. Though since most people are already saying Devastator, let me reach deep into my nerd mind and suggest - FORTRESS MAXIMUS. Except he's an autobot, but is among the largest Transformers ever. On the Decepticon side, ZAREK was as large as a city. Straxus is pretty big, but like Zarek, fairly unknown. Could it be Menasor? Bruticus?

The most logical explanation is that its Devastator. The Constructicons were rumored to be in this and they're combiners, so it makes sense. In the 2 seconds we sort of see this guy, there is no way to make out what his body looks like.

Would love it to be Bruticus but that's highly unlikely. I'm going to have to go with the majority here and say it is devastator.

SHL

couldn't he be the one called "the fallen"?

hage

i think his name is prolly just bob!

Ales

Have no freakin idea!!

Maybe after Optimus Prime defeats Megatron, Lord Zed throws his staff to revive him and make his monster grow.

I'm pretty sure it's just a representation of the box office receipts the movie is going to take in.
