Thread of Thoughts, Questions (and Maybe Even Answers) That Don't Deserve Their Own Thread

Add smaller vehicles that Devy can use as weapons. Say, a steamroller that becomes a hammer, or a borer that attaches to (or replaces) his forearms as a pile bunker. Use the right tool for the job.

Or those large road-construction style ditch witches or concrete saws that look like giant chainsaws and circular saws.

I'll always chuckle that Hasbro made a rockwheel trencher toy, the one time a construction vehicle is a giant buzzsaw, and they didn't reuse Buzzsaw as a name for the guy. Gotta save that for the buckets, I guess!

I've said before, I'd like to see a semi-re-imagining of the Constructicons and Devastator into a more-Scramble City-like combination system, and add new Constructicons that turn into Sky Cranes, Steam Rollers, Earth Boring Machines, etc. to change up the limbs on old Devvy.

Sorta reminds me of RotF Devastator.

That was my thought, too. For all of the sins of the Bay-era movies (and they were many), they did occasionally stumble across an interesting idea. Devestator being not a specific combination of Constructicons, but rather a thing that could be assembled from any number of different components was one of them.

IDW1 had the idea of making Devastator modular, but didn't do much with it.
