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.

Galleries from the Chicago Auto Show February 14th, 2009
Jalopnik have posted a gallery of Bumblebee’s Camaro, Sideswipe’s Stingray and Skid’s Trax concept car all in a glorious resolution. No closeups of the Beat (to be renamed Spark for production).
The names were officially confirmed by GM earlier this week:
SIDESWIPE – a stylized Corvette vision concept vehicle
SKIDS and MUDFLAP – twin AUTOBOTS® based on Chevy’s Beat (a concept that will go into production as the Chevy Spark in 2011) and Trax concepts
JOLT – an AUTOBOT-based on Chevy’s upcoming Volt extended-range electric vehicle
BUMBLEBEE™, the heroic AUTOBOT based on Chevrolet’s Camaro concept from the first “Transformers” movie, returns with a high-performance attitude. Joining the vehicles on stage will be BUMBLEBEE in his AUTOBOT form, standing almost 17 feet (5.2 meters) tall and 13 feet (4 meters) wide.
