The giant "gestalt" (combiner) robot, formed from a dump truck, a crane, a steam shovel, a bulldozer, a backhoe and a cement mixer (in the cartoon, anyway), is a much-beloved character from the original Transformers mythos, so any sort of confirmation -- even four sentences and some leaked production art at TFW2005 -- is reason to cheer. They don't say who confirmed it, but supposedly the art of the dump truck, Long Haul (they even got the name right!), is legitimate. Devastator will supposedly have immense upper-body strength, which means he may look more gorilla-like, than Frankenstein-esque, but that already applies to most of the movie Decepticons, anyway. (Seriously, they were all quite monkey-like. One even wore roller skates!)

Now, there are some changes to him. For starters, he's formed by seven vehicles, not six. Hey, the more the merrier! Second, not all of the vehicles are the same color. ...This one bugs me a little bit, because his all-poison-green color is part of his appeal to me, and I've seen what a multi-colored Devastator can look like. So while I'm sad that Devastator will apparently be green, red and yellow (what is he, a Rastafaricon?), I'll try to squint while he's on-screen, so that I'm only using my rods and not my cones. Better a black-and-white Devastator then tasting the rainbow.

Besides, it could have been worse -- the seventh Constructicon could have been Rainn Wilson.
