Are you being ironic?
Of course not. Michael Bay totally needs to sue Michael Bay for stealing the Michael Bay-esque shots. Like the angled upwards circular shots of Optimus Prime. The shit just got real.

Oh and FSTargetDrone, fuck you. Thanks.

Why'd they make the tank Devastator? Why not leave him as Brawl?

Ghetto edit: And without Bonecrusher, what are the other Constructicons going to do when they need to form the real Devastator?

something real quick, I was watching my DVD again the other day, and at the part where the Sector 7 goons are in Sam's house, one of them pulls out a Gigercounter and exclaims "14rads!"

Would this not imply that the transformers are in some way Radioactive? Or give off a radioactive Exhaust?

Of couse a few qestions... How dangerous is "14rads" of radiation? And how long was Sam exposed to them? He was ridding in Bumblebee for a day or two, but then was around Optimus and the others for less then an hour before he was "scanned"

A quick Wikipedia visit reveals the following.

A "rad" is now largely obsolete in actual scientific usage, replaced by the "grey". 20 to 30 greys worth of full-body radiation is lethal to a human.

However, one grey is equal to a hundred rads.

So fourteen rads is pretty paltry. I would assume that whatever sort of radiation the Transformers produced would be something that's essentially non-existent on Earth, for such low levels of it to be considered a sign of "direct contact".

It was a mistake, that's all. His name was meant to be Brawl.

Micheal Bay liked Devastator more, so he kept it as Devastator.

Bay was also initially unaware of the namechange to Brawl.
