Movie Question...

[exoskeleton]

i dont know if this was asked before....

but, why the hell was Brawl called Devastator in the live action movie???? i didnt understand that.. and if Devastator is supposed to be in the next movie, than what is he gonna be called??

Devastator was a place name for Brawl (to throw off fans of his actual identity) then in editing they put in the wrong name. Whether or not this is accidental is questionable since Michael Bay has gone on record saying he liked the name Devastator better. Since Hasbro got it right, the toy will probably be properly named and he may just remain unnamed in the movie....hell the fist movie Decepticons could have been unnamed, if you blinked you would have missed their names...I don't even think Frenzy was named in the film.

Sadly the name Devastator is still kept in some forms of movie fiction. The UK comics still call Brawl Devastator, but luckily, the toys, the video games and the IDW direct books keep the Brawl name.

Frenzy was never named in the film. Neither was Scorponok.

I had heard they were going to change Devastator to Brawl in the DVD release of film but because of the way they integrated the text into the film it would have been too much of a hassle so they left it.

It was one word in one line of subtitles. It's not like it was in the spoken dialogue of the movie -- they could have changed it if they wanted to.
