Talk:Brawl (Transformers)

Movie Incarnation

I believe someone just said it's not Brawl but Devastator instead because he or she just saw the movie.
I agree. In the film, he refers to himself as Devestator while replying to Frenzy
I also saw the movie, and I thought he was referred to as Brawl... I would have picked it out if he didn't... Geshpenst 12:27, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

Okay, both Roberto Orci (one of the writers) and Hasbro's Transformers team have said seperately that 'Devastator' is incorrect. According to Orci, both he and Alex Kurtzman pointed this out during editing, but their note may have been lost. We've known since last year that his name is Brawl, so its not exactly a 'last minute change'. - FFN

Maybe his name is Brawl and "Devastator" is just a nickname? Just as in the Dreamwave comics bio they say Scavenger's nickname is "Scrounge". user:mathewignash

Its not his nickname, its a mistake on the part of the film. At Botcon 2007, Hasbro said that 'Devastator' is just a continuity error and that the character remains Brawl. I wouldn't depend on anything Dreamwave did in the past - Dreamwave liked to throw in fanwanks and references at random, and in G1 Scavenger's case, a reference to his early name that was accidently left in the script for Heavy Metal War (if I recall correctly). In any case, I'm going to edit the note with the correct information. - FFN

It's not a mistake. His name is Devastator. He calls himself Devastator in the film and when they interviewed the tank that played the part, the tank said his characters name was Devastator. Tanks don't lie. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.139.1.68 (talk) 17:32, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

"As the film had support from the military (who supplied various aircraft) it is unclear why they didn't use a real M1A1 Abrams for Brawl."

Quite possibly they didn't want to deal with both the Army and Air Force? I doubt you can go to a military base or post and find both the Raptor and the Abrams. They're used by two very different branches for very different purposes. In addition, I'm sure it's a lot of work making deals with the military to photograph their stuff. It's not like you can just walk onto a military base and start photographing everything in sight. Especially not after 9/11.

Just call him Devastator already. Why? Because a game called Super Smash Brothers Brawl also had the name Brawl as well.(TougHHead 23:20, 18 October 2007 (UTC))

It was absolutely nonsense to call the tank-decepticon DEVASTATOR, and Brawl is also wrong! BOMBSHOCK would have been the right choice, the leader of the military patrol!--141.89.70.13 (talk) 14:19, 28 June 2010 (UTC)

Mammoth Tank Mode

See the image in the G1 Brawl Section? The vehicle mode looks like a GDI Mammoth Tank.(TougHHead 00:10, 14 October 2007 (UTC))

Does anyone have a better picture? If it has the Mammoth 4-tread I'm surprised they weren't sued. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 35.11.245.144 (talk) 02:28, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

I'm sorry but no and thats the only one so far.(TougHHead 06:08, 4 November 2007 (UTC))

Illegal words

Hey who put the words "a very pissed off Decepticon" in the 2007 Movie section? Cussing is not okay but if you live in America then there is freedom of speech.(TougHHead 06:31, 4 November 2007 (UTC))

Who wrote this?

I presume the original writer of this article did not speak english as a first (or second language). Taking information from this article is like pulling teeth and often information is repeated within a single sentence. There are also spelling mistakes, poor syntax and a casual tone not suitable for wikipedia. Please sort this mess out. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.184.100.21 (talk) 20:10, 23 December 2010 (UTC)

Brawl the Autobot

Please do not remove the listing of Generation 1 Brawl as both Autobot and Decepticon. In one story from Fun Publications, Brawl was depicted as being created as an Autobot before switching sides early in the war, so he was an Autobot at one time in at least some official stories.
