robots in disguise!

Need to build something fast and efficiently? Or demolish a derelict? Or even recycle old things? Don’t fret, because the Constructicons are there to do the job.

For the Decepticons.

These Decepticons are the master in their fields of (building) expertise, even building the famed Crystal City on Cybertron. The six can even form into a bigger, and powerful robot, Devastator.

The six are:

Scrapper, the leader of the Constructicons, is a master designer who conceives the myriad structures the Construticons assemble. Although he’s genuinely modest about his work, he’s prone to bragging amongst his fellow Constructicons. He transforms into a wheeled front-load shovel and forms the right leg of Devastator.

Bonecrusher is a brawler by nature and specialises in demolitions work. Under this vicious personality is an underlying motive; he is a perfectionist at heart and wishes to destroy all he deems imperfect, including the Autobots. He would enjoy the extra potential for destruction as Devastator if it didn’t mean sharing the same mindspace as his fellow Constructicons. He transforms into a bulldozer, and forms Devastator’s left arm.

Scavenger is an unashamedly pathetic Decepticon. Desperate to prove his worth to his team-mates, he uses his one true gift - his shovel’s ability to detect various magnetic, ionic, electrical or gas readings - to locate items of value, although invariably, all he can usually find is junk. He transforms into an excavator, and the right arm of Devastator. 

Mixmaster might have a few chips loose in his logic center, judging by the cackling with which he undertakes his role of materials fabrication. Although manic and erratic by nature, he is a genius of a chemist, able to mix chemicals in the drum of his concrete mixer alternate mode. (He has also been known to insert solid objects — such as cars — into his mixing drum in order to turn out new building materials.) He forms Devastator’s left leg.

Hook is the team’s perfectionist second-in-command, who considers himself far too elite to deal with most of the ‘ruffians’ that call themselves Decepticons. He is excellent at performing tasks which require extreme precision (including surgical operations), but the time he takes to perfect his work and his arrogance are his weaknesses. He transforms into a crane, and forms the head and shoulders of Devastator.

Long Haul is not fond of his role as transport, ferrying construction materials to and fro on a Constructicon building site, and although he accepts its importance, he would much rather be a full-time warrior. He transforms into a dump truck and forms Devastator’s lower torso.
