This comes via TF08 and their abundant source of unreleased toys. Some more galleries of toys are also floating about of Deluxe Sideswipe, Deluxe Breakaway and Voyager class Optimus Prime.

Demolisher Bio Revealed, on sale at eBay February 21st, 2009
An eBay auction has been spotted selling the Demolisher toy boxed, complete with an image of the packet and the character’s description. View the original auction, view another live auction to purchase Demolisher.
Demolishor isn’t very bright, but he knows when to fight, and when to run and hide. Arriving on Earth to find Megatron destroyed, hiding seemed like the best option. Since then, he’s taken a few smaller Decepticons under his protection, and built quite a little community. It hasn’t been easy hiding among the humans that creep like a disease over this planet, but he and his companions are content until a new Decepticon leader emerges to guide them back to glory.

Mysterious key chains February 19th, 2009
Of the new Transformers merchandise at Toy Fair 09 were a set of key chains, with their front designs pixelated out to prevent revealing the details of the characters. Action Figs have posted a gallery of these with the noticeable Bumblebee, Starscream etc — there are two notable oddities however, one mysterious unnamed ‘New Character’ and a figure labeled as Optimus Prime that doesn’t match his usual robot form. TFW also have a pair of silhouettes that match these two designs.
The source of these silhouettes states that the robot form of Optimus Prime is in combination with Jetfire, looking closely you can see the wing outline, boosters and a canon — this combination has previously been seen on the Legends class toys, although that arrangement looks very different.
The unnamed character has claws and is grey, I’d hesitate a guess at Megatron.

Skids Bio February 18th, 2009
With images via TF08, we have a little description about the Skids character (Green Chevy Beat/Spark):
Because he is slightly less hyperactive than his brother MUDFLAP, AUTOBOT SKIDS has always thought of himself as “the smart one.” He likes to point this out at every opportunity. While MUDFLAP zips around like a maniac, AUTOBOT SKIDS prefers to impress his superiors among the AUTOBOT high command by behaving in a way he thinks of as mature, which usually involves talking nonstop about anything that occurs to him.

Devastator toys, All constructicons revealed, Skids and Mudflaps Robot modes February 14th, 2009
With the 2009 toy fair comes images of new Revenge of the Fallen toys. So far we have two versions of the Devastator toy (one being a simplified FAB version), all SIX alt modes of the constructicons, names for each of them (Rampage, Scavenger, Scrapper, Hightower, Long Haul, and Mix Master) and images of Rampage’s robot mode, Skids and Mudflap robot modes and toys (these are the Chevy Beat and Chevy Trax). The gallery further down also includes boxes for some of the toys, showing CG renderings of their heads (e.g. Demolisher, Rampage Bulldozer, Sideswipe, Skids, Mudflaps). There is also a racing game entitled ‘Devastator Showdown’ which shows a rendered version of Devastator trying to eat Skids.

DEVASTATOR detailed concept in FULL, Detailed Fallen Concepts February 11th, 2009
Oh wow, wasn’t expecting this to land on the doorstep today! Here we have it the FULLY combined Devastator. Click the image for a higher resolution more detailed version. From the text that surrounds the image we can see what makes up the constituent parts of this beast, and it’s face is incredibly beast-like:
Right Leg: Dump Truck
Left Arm: Crane
Left Leg: Bulldozer
Torso: Excavator (this is the Terex Rh400 we’ve seen in the trailer)
Right Arm: The name isn’t visible but guessing from the picture I’d say a Loading vehicle (see details further down)
There’s also a ‘Mixer’ in there somewhere and another vehicle forming the rear, with possibly another vehicle on the sheet that has been obscured by the character. The body combines to end up very Gorilla like, with hands that reach the floor and a head that sticks out the front, almost like King Kong.
This matches earlier reports:
Right Leg: Dump Truck
Left Leg: Bulldozer
Right Arm: Wheel Loader
Left Arm: Truss Crane [no robot mode on this one],
Right Shoulder: Excavator
Left Shoulder: Articulated Dump Truck
Head: Cement Mixer

The Fallen’s concept builds on the character we’ve seen in the toy galleries. This is much more skinny, evil and alien looking. No flames on this one, maybe he ‘sparks up’ — he looks like he can do a whole lot of damage!

Individual Constructicon Alt Modes
The world’s largest excavator (Terex RH400) which forms the Torso and most likely as its right leg, the world’s largest truck the Caterpillar 797B:
Although as the leg is green it may also be the Hitachi Euclid R280:
To match this, the left leg probably needs to be the world’s largest bulldozer, I originally thought this would be the Komatsu D575 (image) which is the largest production bulldozer but the tracks on that are not triangular like they are in the concept image. This led me to the Acco Custom built bulldozer, the tracks on this perfectly match the left foot:
The name of the right arm is obscured from vision, but given the raised bucket it looks a lot like a Loading vehicle, the largest of which is the Caterpillar 994D. It could be any one of the large Loading vehicles, here is another, the Le Tourneau L-2350:
The left arm, the crane, looks like the Dragline excavator variety — for all that machinery we can see in the concept it needs to be more than just a standard crane. I haven’t managed to find a yellow one:
The head looks like a drill but I cannot find a vehicle to match it.
Sideswipe Toy in alt and robot modes February 10th, 2009
TF08 have the scoop on yet another Transformers 2 toy, this time it’s the super-sweet Centennial otherwise known as Sideswipe. This is a deluxe class model, features to note include the autobot logo on his right shoulder and scythe like pointy weapons/shielding above the arms.
