Notes
- Concept arts from the film refers to him as Devcon.
- He was simply known as "The Cloverfield 'bot" and "Cloverjolt" among fandom because he violently resembles the monster from the 2008 film, Cloverfield. There are other fan-terms for him, including "Clover-Con", "Rumble" and "Stryker".
- Devcon never transforms in the film. It is speculated that he turns into some kind of military vehicle with at least eight wheels that can be seen on his front legs alone and an undetermined amount can be seen on his back legs. It is possible he turns into a large Russian missile truck (as shown in his concept art), he must have scanned that into his memory banks or his protoform resembled that either way that's what he looks like crazy right!:)
