:''Scrapper is a [[Decepticon]] [[Constructicon (G1)|Constructicon]] from the [[Generation 1 (franchise)|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:Scrapper1.jpg|right|275px|thumb|"By my own standards, Metroplex is the awesomest thing ever."]]
'''Scrapper''' is the engineer of the [[Constructicon (G1)|Constructicons]]. While the other Constructicons put their masterpieces together, Scrapper is the one who designs everything for them. Though his designs are among the best in Transformer history, Scrapper is a modest Decepticon who quickly shrugs off the praise he receives. In that respect he is the polar-opposite of his frequent second in command, [[Hook (G1)|Hook]], who is an egomaniacal glory-hound.

Though modest, Scrapper is still a total nutcase. One of his favorite artistic liberties with his designs involves taking living [[Autobot]]s and using them as raw materials. This vicious act is something [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] finds admirable, as he considers Scrapper the most valuable of the Constructicons.

===Cartoon continuity===
====''The Transformers'' cartoon====
:''Voice actor:'' [[Michael Bell]] (English), [[Toshio Ishii]] (Japanese), [[Edgar Wald]] (Latin American)

[[Image:Scrapperg1cartoon.jpg|left|150px|thumb|My continuity makes me dizzy.]]
Scrapper, who was evil, helped build Megatron. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 4}} Later, Megatron used the [[Robo-Smasher]] to make Scrapper, who was good, evil. {{storylink|The Secret of Omega Supreme}} Finally, Megatron built Scrapper. {{storylink|Heavy Metal War}} It all makes sense.

Regardless of all that, Scrapper and the Constructicons were active among the Decepticon forces on [[Earth]] in 1984. They attempted to infiltrate [[Ark (G1)|Autobot headquarters]] to destroy the Autobot computer [[Teletraan I (G1)|Teletraan I]], but failed and ended up having a lava bath. {{storylink|Heavy Metal War}} The Constructicons were later vital in transforming [[New York City]] into the Decepticon city of "New Cybertron", and in the process Scrapper got to recycle [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] into a [[Alligatorcon|robotic alligator]]. {{storylink|City of Steel}}

The Constructicons later built a drill leading into Earth's core, in order for Megatron to tap its energy. While working on it, Scrapper had a [[dominator disc]] snuck onto him by [[Sunstreaker (G1)|Sunstreaker]], allowing the Autobots to control the Constructicons when merged into [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]]. The combiner fought his fellow Decepticons for a while before the discs were overloaded and they returned to normal. Scrapper then provided a peptalk for his team before they saved the Earth from their own drill, which had gone out of control. {{storylink|The Core}}

[[Image:MasterBuilders_Scrapper_Grapple_plans.jpg|right|200px|thumb|"Truly you are a master of structural engineering, Grapple. I could never hold up a map with a stump for a hand."]]
At one point, Scrapper convinced [[Hoist (G1)|Hoist]] and [[Grapple]] that the Constructicons wanted to aid the two Autobots in a construction project to build a [[solar tower]]. Scrapper claimed to have admired Grapple's work back on Cybertron. When Megatron found out, the Constructicons had to explain (at gunpoint) that they were still loyal to him, and once the tower was completed they would turn it over to him. The plan initially succeeded, but the tower was soon destroyed in a battle between the Autobots and Devastator. {{storylink|The Master Builders}}

Later, when the other Decepticons began to suffer from [[Cybertonium]] degeneration, Scrapper and the Constructicon worked fine. They took delivery of a shipment of the mineral via the [[space bridge]], and failed to stop [[Spike Witwicky (G1)|Spike Witwicky]] and [[Carly]] from getting by them and traveling to Cybertron. {{storylink|Desertion of the Dinobots, Part 1}} When faced with the mighty [[Omega Supreme (G1)|Omega Supreme]], long out for revenge against the Constructicons, Scrapper repeatedly taunted and insulted him. In return, Omega Supreme beat the slag out of Devastator, but couldn't finish the job due to a surprise visit from an [[asteroid bird alien]]. {{storylink|The Secret of Omega Supreme}}

[[Image:MakeTracks Scrapper sword.jpg|left|200px|thumb|"I dub thee Drone #24601. Now rise up and go forth in Megatron's name!"]]
When the Constructicons were tasked with building a [[drone]] army out of human cars, Scrapper was seen slicing the machines apart with a sword. {{storylink|Make Tracks}} Scrapper's nasty side was later shown when he worked under [[Blitzwing (G1)|Blitzwing]], who had temporarily overthrown Megatron. Scrapper used the [[Skids (G1)|remains]] [[Prowl (G1)|of]] [[Bluestreak (G1)|damaged]] [[Tracks (G1)|Autobots]] to make a throne for himself... nasty! {{storylink|Triple Takeover}}

Scrapper and Constructicons were part of the Decepticon forces during the [[Battle of Autobot City|great battle]] of [[Autobot City]] in 2005, and Devastator was integral in breaching the city's defenses. However, Megatron was defeated and the Decepticons were forced to retreat onboard [[Astrotrain (G1)|Astrotrain]]. Megatron was subsequently thrown out into space, and Scrapper wasted no time in nominating his Constructicons to be the next [[Decepticon leader|Decepticon leaders]]. [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]] and his [[Decepticon Mini-Cassette|cassettes]] disagreed, and within minutes every Decepticon in the ship was fighting the rest for that precious leadership position. [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]] won out in the end, and the Constructicons provided music during his coronation (Scrapper doesn't let minor things such as [[mouthplate]]s get in his way of playing the trumpet). {{storylink|The Transformers: The Movie}}

In the remainder of 2005 and throughout the following year, Scrapper and the Constructicons maintained a smaller, but still present, role in the Decepticon army, lending their talents to the Decepticon/[[Quintesson]] alliance by constructing [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]] out of a populated human city in only one night. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 4|FFOD, Part 4}} Later, they built a planetary engine on an asteroid and battled on the planet [[Eurythma]], {{storylink|Carnage in C-Minor}} aided in the overthrow of [[Paradron]] {{storylink|Fight or Flee}} and took part in an attack on [[Japan]]. {{storylink|The Burden Hardest to Bear}} Although brief, the Constructicons even played a part in the battle for the [[Plasma Energy Chamber]] in 2007, seen firing on Autobots with the [[Terrorcon (G1)|Terrorcons]]. {{storylink|The Rebirth, Part 3}}

====''Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers'' comic====
Scrapper and the other Constructicons started constructing Trypticon on a small island paradise, destroying the flora and fauna in the process. When the Autobots found out, they sent [[Superion (G1)|Superion]] to put a stop to them, and the Constructicons responded by forming Devastator. Unfortunately, the newly activated Trypticon, who wanted the challenge of fighting Superion by himself, grabbed Devastator and threw him into the ocean. {{storylink|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers issue 6}}

====''The Headmasters'' cartoon====
Scrapper and the Constructicons were stationed on Earth in 2011, under the command of [[Sixshot]]. They attempted to prevent Ultra Magnus from sending reinforcements to Cybertron to help the Autobots fend off Galvatron's siege on [[Vector Sigma]]. Scrapper and his squad were ganging up on the [[Trainbot]]s until [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]] arrived and shooed them off with his superior firepower. Having failed to stop the Autobot reinforcements from departing, the Constructicons followed them to Cybertron. As Devastator, they tried to shoot [[Superion (G1)|Superion]] in the back, but Optimus Prime foiled their aim, making them hit [[Abominus (G1)|Abominus]] instead. {{storylink|Four Warriors Come out of the Sky}} Devastator was involved in a combiner shootout on Cybertron until the [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Battleship Maximus]] arrived and annihilated the Decepticon combiners. {{storylink|The Mystery of Planet Master}}

Scrapper and the Constructicons were guarding the Decepticon [[Space Bridge]] on Earth, but failed miserably when [[Blaster (G1)|Twincast]] single-handedly fought them off and stole a ride on the bridge. {{storylink|The Great Cassette Operation}}

====''Zone'' OVA, manga and story pages====
Seeking to create a [[Decepticon Zone]] to counter the [[Micro|Autobot Zone]], [[Emperor of Destruction|Decepticon Emperor]] [[Violen Jiger]] gathered together the Nine Great Demon Generals, upgrading them with powerful new armor and weaponry, then sent them forth to conquer planets. Scrapper was among those summoned, but only in the form of Devastator. {{storylink|Zone (story page)|Zone Part 1}} {{storylink|Zone (manga)|Transformers: Zone}} {{storylink|Enter the New Supreme Commander, Dai Atlas!}}

===Marvel Comics continuity===
====Generation 1====
{{noteukonly}}
{{note|Scrapper doesn't appear to be the leader of the Constructicons in most if any of his appearances. In the Constructicons' origin story, [[Scavenger (G1)|Scavenger]] seems to be in charge. Later, during "Totaled!", [[Bonecrusher (G1)|Bonecrusher]] is named as their leader. To further complicate things, Mixmaster was identified as the leader in an alternate future.}}
[[Image:Constructiconsbornmarvel.jpg|right|200px|thumb|Scrapper is the green and purple one.]]
Early in the Transformers' war on [[Earth]], [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]] used the stolen power of the [[Matrix of Leadership|Creation Matrix]] to give life to the first of a new generation of Decepticon warriors, the [[Constructicon (G1)|Constructicons]]. Scrapper and the other Constructicons were immediately given a mission upon their coming online — construct a communications tower to transmit a message to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. A truckstop was raided for raw materials, which attracted the ire of trucker [[Bomber Bill]], who, with the aid of the [[Autobot]]s, managed to destroy the tower Scrapper and the other Constructicons had built. {{storylink|The Next Best Thing to Being There!}}
''Scrapper and the Constructicons, after troubleshooting their union as [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]], were sent by Shockwave to abduct [[Buster Witwicky (G1)|Buster Witwicky]]. Their attack was called off to regroup when [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]] discovered Buster held the rest of the Creation Matrix in his head. {{storylink|Devastation Derby!}}''

[[Image:MarvelUS41_ScrapperScavenger.JPG|left|thumb|200px|"Constructicons—slump into vehicle mode!"]]
After [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron's]] retaking of Decepticon command, Scrapper and the other Constructicons were charged with building perimeter defences around their headquarters located at the base of a coal strip mine in eastern [[Wyoming]]. Devastator's services were again required when the Autobots staged a surprise attack, but they retreated once they had what they needed. {{storylink|Command Performances!}}

During [[Ratbat (G1)|Ratbat]]'s command, an attack was ordered on the combined Autobot forces on Earth's [[Moon (moon)|moon]] while [[Blaster (G1)|Blaster]] and [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]] dueled for leadership. Under cover of battle, Scrapper and the other Constructicons retrieved the remains of several fallen and captured Decepticons. {{storylink|Totaled!}}

{{-}}
=====Earthforce=====
{{earthforcefiction}}
Scrapper worked for Megatron during the Earthforce saga, as did most of his fellow Constructicons. He was first seen telling stories to [[Mixmaster (G1)|Mixmaster]] in the hallway while [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]] was mentally searching for traitors... and blackmail information. {{storylink|Secrets}} He later joined the united Decepticons in an ill-fated strike against Autobot Earthbase. {{storylink|Divide and Conquer!}}

=====Marvel UK future timelines=====
''In 2008, Scrapper was briefly seen with a Decepticon strike team on-board [[Astrotrain (G1)|Astrotrain]], just before they were attacked from out of nowhere by the [[Quintesson]]s. He didn't say much, but that's probably because he was still pissed that, in the future, the Constructicons think Mixmaster is a better leader than him. He thinks that's crazy. Get it? Get it? {{storylink|Space Pirates!}}''

{{note|The following two sections both split off from the end of the Generation 1 comic, but in different, irreconcileable directions.}}

====Generation 2====
Scrapper and [[Bonecrusher (G1)|Bonecrusher]] helped construct a thermal bomb perimeter around the Autobot/Decepticon encampment which was entrenched on Earth awaiting arrival of the [[Swarm (G2)|Swarm]]. {{storylink|A Rage in Heaven!}}

====Classics====
{{note|The Classics comic takes place after the end of the original Marvel Comic, but in a [[splinter timeline]] that does not include the events of the Marvel UK-exclusive stories or Generation 2.}}

[[Image:Scrappercrossingover.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Finally, Scrapper gets some "facetime."]]
In the fifteen years since the battle on Klo, Megatron was resurrected and had reclaimed portions of his previous army, including Scrapper and the other Constructicons. When the Decepticon [[Landquake (Timelines)|Landquake]] mysteriously appeared and claimed to be from another timeline, his body was scrutinized by [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]] and Scrapper. Scrapper's research led him to believe Landquake was telling the truth, noting that study of [[Unicron]] pointed towards the existence of parallel worlds and that Landquake's makeup was unlike any Transformer construction he was familiar with.

Furthermore, he announced to Megatron that an anomaly in [[South America]] radiated identical wavelengths as Landquake, something that might merit further inspection. Scrapper's only mistake was suggesting the hypothetical help of Shockwave would be appreciated, resulting in violence upon his person from Megatron. Regardless, Megatron agreed that the anomaly demanded his attention, and while Scrapper was instructed to pry deeper into Landquake's energon readings, the Decepticon commander accompanied the rest of his troops to South America. {{storylink|Crossing Over, Part 2}}

Scrapper and the other Decepticons arrived at their destination, where they met the Autobots in battle. Megatron ordered him and the Constructicons to merge into Devastator, which they did. [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]] attempted to take on Devastator singlehandedly, and did meet with some success when Devastator stepped into a sinkhole and fell apart into his component Constructicons. {{storylink|Crossing Over: Part 3}} Now separated, the Constructicons were being beaten ruthlessly by the Dinobot Commander, and so Scrapper ordered the Constructicons to flee and regroup. Grimlock "helped" them along by picking up Scrapper and throwing him into the others. {{storylink|Crossing Over: Part 5}} Eventually, as a group, the Constructicons were able to subdue Grimlock, but by then the battle was over and the Decepticons had no choice but to retreat. {{storylink|Crossing Over: Part 6}}

===Dreamwave comics continuity===
{{notekeepers}}
[[Image:Scrappertww.jpg|left|200px|thumb|Construction vehicles are green on Cybertron, too.]]
Nine million years ago, a young [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] staged a Decepticon uprising and sieged [[Iacon (city-state)|Iacon]] to smokescreen his true designs. Long-buried planetary engines from [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron's]] similarly buried past were to be refitted by Scrapper and his Constructicons in order to convert their planet into a galaxy-faring war world. {{storylink|The War Within issue 2}} While Megatron had gone briefly missing during battle, Scrapper was ordered by [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]] to accelerate the process, despite the Constructicon's misgivings. Their hasty actions could tear the planet apart! In the end, Starscream gave Scrapper a choice: mechaform Iacon, or get mechaformed by [[Motormaster (G1)|Motormaster]]. {{storylink|The War Within issue 5}} As Scrapper predicted, the region went under a major upheavel, and he and the other Transformers in the area were forced to abandon their work as everything exploded. {{storylink|The War Within issue 6}}

The war entered a [[Dark Ages|dark age]] when both [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] and Megatron were presumed lost forever in a space bridge accident. During this time, the technology of combining (and thus Devastator himself) was invented, but Devastator and other super robots were declared non-allied by the [[Crisis Intervention Accord]] to stave off an arms race that would escalate the war to frightening levels. Despite this, [[Ratbat (G1)|Ratbat's]] [[Ultracon]]s secretly enlisted Scrapper and his Constructicons. {{storylink|Escalation (Dreamwave)|Escalation}} Devastator was unleashed upon the [[Wrecker]]s in the [[Tagan Heights]], but was defeated by the [[Protectobot (G1)|Protectobots]]. {{storylink|Devastation (Dreamwave)|Devastation}}

Millions of years later, after a subset of the Transformers war awoke on [[Earth]] in 1984, the Constructicons somehow found their way from Cybertron to Earth. They were defeated along with the other Decepticons in 1999, and subsequently lost for years following a [[Ark II|shuttle explosion]]. When they awoke in 2002, the Constructicons combined into Devastator and rampaged through [[San Francisco]]. {{storylink|Prime Directive issue 5}} Optimus Prime shot them in the head. {{storylink|Prime Directive issue 6}}

''After their defeat in California, the Constructicons were secretly rebuilt by Starscream, and Devastator became his personal enforcer after Megatron was kidnapped by the alien [[Keeper (species)|Keepers]], leaving Decepticon leadership up for grabs. Scrapper and many of the other Decepticons joined Starscream on a venture to assume control over the human city of [[Las Vegas]]. Their occupation was interrupted by a renegade human army and a trio of Autobots: [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]], [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]] and [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]]. Scrapper prepared for their invasion by booby-trapping a Michelin Tire Store. When that turned out to be a dumb idea, he decided to just shoot at the Autobots instead. Scrapper was taken out fast during the fight, however, when Grimlock knocked him into a pool of molten slag created by Mixmaster's chemical powers. The acidic heat knocked him off-line, and Scrapper had to be dragged to safety by his partners. {{storylink|Hardwired}}''

''Megatron eventually returned to Earth, but Scrapper and the Constructicons owed Starscream for reconstructing them, and so remained loyal to him when the Decepticons split into two factions. Of course, this only meant they were among the first to be captured by the Keepers when those aliens took over [[Las Vegas]] and turned Starscream into their puppet. Trapped behind an impenetrable force dome, Scrapper and the Constructicons attempted to batter their way out as Devastator using sheer brute force, until [[Skywarp (G1)|Skywarp]] offered a better idea. Reconverting into their separate modes, the Constructicons dug a tunnel out beneath the force field, enabling Starscream's faction to join the final battle against the Keepers. Acting as Devastator, they were too far away from [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] and his [[Matrix of Leadership|Matrix]]-induced force shield when the American nuclear assault was dropped on the Keepers, and were blasted into pieces. {{storylink|Annihilation}}''

''The nuclear blast left Devastator fused into his singular robot mode, leaving him unable to split back into Scrapper and his other components. Eventually, Devastator fell into the Void along with [[Omega Sentinel (G1)|Omega Sentinel]] in the final conflict with the Keepers, and was left in stasis lock, drifting in the vacuum of space, after the Sentinel destroyed the Keepers' power source and shattered the Void back into real space-time. The starship ''[[Bounty]]'', on a secret space mission from Earth, came across Devastator's remains and planned to tow him back to Earth. {{storylink|Fusion (novel)|Fusion}}''

The pieces of Scrapper and the Constructicons fell under the control of [[Earth Defense Command]], and were held in their Roswell facility for study. {{storylink|Generation One issue 0}}

===Devil's Due ''G.I. Joe vs the Transformers'' continuity===
[[Image:Scrapperdevilsdue.jpg|right|100px|thumb|Scrapper calls Mindbender on a [http://www.nhl.com/ice/page.htm?id=26329 hockey foul].]]
The ruthless terrorist organization known as [[Cobra]] dug dozens of Autobots and Decepticons out of their four-million-year resting place and began rebuilding them into a Cobra-controlled army. However, with [[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack]] and [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]]'s help, the mind-controlled Transformers were awakened, and the very cheesed-off Constructicons, including Scrapper, descended upon their previous captor, [[Doctor Mindbender|Dr. Mindbender]]. {{storylink|G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers issue 3}} Scrapper and Hook decided to kill Mindbender by dropping him into Mixmaster's mixing drum, but they were interrupted by Soundwave, who needed the doctor to work the [[SPS Satellite]] for him. {{storylink|G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers issue 4}}

Their surroundings were soon under attack by Autobot and [[G.I. Joe (team)|G.I. Joe]] forces, requiring Scrapper and the other Constructicons to combine into Devastator. Ultimately, Devastator was brutally defeated after the Decepticon fatally wounded [[Hound (G1)|Hound]], sending the fallen Autobot's friends into a berserker rage. {{storylink|G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers issue 5}}

===IDW comics continuity===
{{ongoing}}
Scrapper and his team of Constructicons were apparently put out of work due to the labor shortages masterminded by [[Ratbat (G1)|Ratbat]]. Rather than sitting idly by and collecting roboto-unemployment checks, the Constructicons became involved with the [[Gladiatorial combat|illegal fighting ring]] operating in [[Kaon]], dedicating their talents to quickly creating a combat arena at each new site of the tournaments, modifying scrap on hand for their needs. Scrapper witnessed firsthand the level of brutality Megatron could reach outside the ring when he executed the Autobot surveyors, [[Fastback (G1)|Fastback]] and [[Bumper (G1)|Bumper]]. {{storylink|Megatron Origin issue 2}} The Constructicons also worked on the fighters themselves, repairing them after fights and installing new weapons on them. {{storylink|Megatron Origin issue 3}}

As the war began in earnest between the Autobots and Decepticons, Scrapper and the Constructicons remained loyal followers of Megatron. Four million years ago, Scrapper was part of a convoy along with [[Ramjet (G1)|Ramjet]], [[Octane]] and his fellow Constructicons bringing energon to the war effort. They were intercepted and captured by [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] and [[Ironhide (G1)|Ironhide]]. {{storylink|The Iron Age}}

[[Image:Scrapperburns.jpg|left|200px|thumb|But seriously, folks—*Boom!*]]

Millions of years later, the Constructicons arrived on Earth. Having somehow obtained combiner technology, Scrapper and his team merged into Devastator and made short work of the Autobot unit on the planet. {{storylink|All Hail Megatron issue 7}} With those goody-two-shoes out of the way, the Decepticons moved on to conquer the planet, starting with [[New York City]]. As the Constructicons transformed and revealed themselves in the middle of the city, Scrapper told the humans that they were aliens from another world, who had come to spread a message of peace and unity. A confused Hook looked at Scrapper, then they shared a laugh and proceeded to kill things. {{storylink|All Hail Megatron issue 1}} After a good while of random destruction, Scrapper ordered his team to combine so they could take out the tunnels leading in and out of New York. {{storylink|All Hail Megatron issue 2}} When the city had fallen, Scrapper listened to Megatron's victory speech. {{storylink|All Hail Megatron issue 4}}

The Constructicons later joined [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]]'s rebellion against Megatron, as the [[Seeker (body-type)|Seeker]]'s logical arguments had apparently appealed to them. Scrapper mocked Megatron with a sarcastic "All hail Megatron" before forming Devastator and attacking him. {{storylink|All Hail Megatron issue 10}} Before Devastator could kill his former leader, however, he found himself under attack by human jets. He managed to get rid of those, only to be attacked by [[Omega Supreme (G1)|Omega Supreme]] instead. {{storylink|All Hail Megatron issue 11}} The battle ended when Omega blasted Devastator straight through the torso, defeating the Constructicons. {{storylink|All Hail Megatron issue 12}}

[[Image:IDWongoing2_Scrapper_Tankor.jpg|thumb|right|200px|D-I-I-I-I-I-E MAXIMA--I mean, AUTOBOTS!!]]
In the two years that followed, Scrapper was separated from his fellow Constructicons. He joined up with a rag-tag group of Decepticons left behind on Earth, and helped rescue [[Thundercracker (G1)|Thundercracker]] from the ruins of New York. Scrapper was seemingly hoping that the elite Seeker would lead their little group, but Thundercracker was not interested, and instead leadership fell to [[Swindle (G1)|Swindle]]. {{storylink|Seasons in Flight}} Seeking revenge on Omega Supreme for the Constructicons' earlier defeat, Scrapper and Swindle led their group into battle with Hot Rod and the Autobots who had gathered around the defense base. After Scrapper was briefly strangled by an invisible [[Mirage (G1)|Mirage]], the battle ended on an oddly peaceful note when Swindle suggested that the Autobots and Decepticons join forces to get off Earth together. {{storylink|New Arrivals, Old Encounters}}

Together with the newly liberated Hook and Mixmaster, Scrapper began building a starship for the mixed Cybertronians to use, but unfortunately, Hot Rod would not allow them to free any more Constructicons. When [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]] turned up to investigate [[Ironhide (G1)|Ironhide]]'s death and subsequently fired upon Swindle, Scrapper transformed in response to defend his his group leader. {{storylink|Seasons in Flight}}

As the Decepticons ultimately turned against their Autobot "friends", Scrapper gleefully tried to crush [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]] with his bare hands until Thundercracker blasted the Constructicon for a loop. After the new gestalt [[Menasor (G1)|Menasor]] was defeated, Swindle escaped from Autobot and Skywatch custody along with some Constructicons, including Scrapper. {{storylink|Earthworks}}

Scrapper hid in a construction site, but [[Spike Witwicky (G1)|Spike Witwicky]] knew about his hiding place. In reaction to Devastator killing [[Tim Simmons|a friend of his]] when he destroyed the New York tunnel, Spike tracked Scrapper down, blinded him with acid and trapped him beneath some steel beams. Scrapper tried to surrender, but Spike explained that he wasn't there to take him in, but rather to prove that a single human could defeat a Transformer and to put a stop to the threat of Devastator forever. He then used the helpless Scrapper's gun to blow his head off. {{storylink|The Transformers issue 8|The Transformers #8}}

When the Decepticons captured by Skywatch were broken out by the Decepticons who left Earth, Blitzwing was seen carrying Scrapper's body away. {{storylink|Revenge of the Decepticons Part 1: The Demolished Man}}

**''Accessories:'' [[Laser pistol]], Super Wing

:Scrapper was originally from [[Takara]]'s[[ Pre-Transformer]]s ''[[Diaclone]]'' toyline, as Construction Vehicle Robot No. 3 Shovel-dozer. Scrapper transforms into a bright green wheeled payloader. He can form the '''Attack Payloader''' mode by attaching the "Super Wing" (Devastator's chest piece) onto the rear of his vehicle mode.

:Scrapper can combine with the other Constructicons to form Devastator, forming the gestalt's right leg.

:Scrapper was also available as part of the Devastator giftset that was available in several markets, including the United States, Japan and parts of Europe.

{{-}}

* '''Constructicon''' (Constructicon, 1992)

: This European-exclusive version of Scrapper was yellow, but with the darker purple from the original toy instead of the lighter Generation 2 shade, a grey canopy, and came with no Devastator parts. This toy was also not officially named, as he came on a card shared by the other Constructicons.

===Generation 2===
{{Picsneeded}}
* '''Scrapper''' (Constructicon, 1993)
**''Team ID number:'' '''3'''
**''Accessories:'' Laser pistol, Super Wing

: The complete set of Constructicons were re-released and [[Redeco|redecoed]] as part of the first assortments of ''[[Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' products. The first—and seemingly more common—versions were yellow like the previous European release, but lacked the gray plastics, had brighter purple parts, had the "DECEPTICON" [[Tampograph|tampographs]] on each one somewhere, and --most importantly-- came with all the Devastator bits.

: A later and seemingly less common run changed the yellow plastics to rich orange. It has been rumored that this release was only available in Kay-Bee stores, but not verified.

The number etched into his back is the sum total of his [[tech spec]] ratings, as these figurines were used as game pieces for a variety of ''Transformers'' board games in which this number had some meaning to how the game was played or something. Scrapper has a weird-looking face.

*'''Scrapper''' (Decoy, 1987)
**''Decoy number'': '''47'''

: The [[Hasbro]] [[Decoy]] release of the Scrappergame piece is almost identical to the Japanese version, except the number on his back is a simple "checklist" number. Like all Decepticon Decoys, he was a randomly-chosen pack-in available with the carded [[Throttlebot]]s, [[Combaticon (G1)|Combaticons]], [[Stunticon (G1)|Stunticons]] and [[Terrorcon (G1)|Terrorcons]]. Early Throttlebots were packaged with red Decepticon decoys: these are much rarer than the purple ones.

==Notes==
*The [[The Transformers (cartoon)|Generation 1 cartoon]] [[production bible|series bible]] contains a description of Scrapper typed with the name "'''Gravedigger'''", then crossed out by hand and rewritten "Scrapper". This name would [[Gravedigger|actually appear in fiction]], though applied to [[Long Haul (G1)|a different Constructicon]]. "Payload" was another name considered for Scrapper at one point.
* As noted above, Scrapper's original toy has a third mode called "Attack Payloader", formed by sticking the purple "Super Wing" that forms Devastator's chestplate on top of Scrapper's payloader mode. As his [[Transformers Universe (Marvel comic)|Marvel Universe]] entry notes, this allows him to fly at 60 mph over a range of 250 miles, although Scrapper has yet to use this ability in fiction.
* Despite being the (nominal) leader of the Constructicons, Scrapper forms one of Devastator's legs, rather than his head and/or body. This contradicts the pattern established with most subsequent Transformers combining teams.
* It is unknown what relationship, if any, exists between Scrapper and the ''[[Universe (2003 franchise)|Universe]]'' [[Micromaster]] Constructicon [[Buckethead]], who appears to have replaced Scrapper in that incarnation of the Constructicons.
* In recent years, toys sporting the name "Scrapper" require an additional "Decepticon" prefix for [[trademark]] reasons, hence making the official name "'''Decepticon Scrapper'''".

'''Megatron's latest scheme involves using the most powerful computer on Earth to control machinery remotely.'''

:''Japanese title:'' コンピュータの反乱 (''Computer no Hanran'', "The Rebellion of the Computer")
:''Brazilian title:'' '''Dia das Máquinas''' ("Day of the Machines")
:''Italian title:'' '''Il giorno delle macchine''' ("Day of the machines")

==Synopsis==
[[Image:Dayofmachinesmegsinacase.jpg|left|250px|thumb|"Megatron! What are you doing in my [[Laserbeak (Animated)|cousin's]] house?!"]]

[[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Megatron]] and [[Soundwave (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Soundwave]] (the former disguised in a guitar case!) not-so-silently infiltrate [[Quantum Laboratories]], a top-secret facility where the world’s most powerful computer, [[TORQ III]], is housed. Megatron reprograms the computer with his own personality and gives it the power to control remotely dangerous machines of all types through the use of "[[Remote Control Circuit Linker]] cards."

At the same time, scientist Dr. [[Paul Gates]] of Quantum Labs muses with a colleague about the dangers of machine sentience and that, in the wrong hands, TORQ III might be too powerful. Since Fate is both cruel and timely, the very scenario they were discussing comes true when TORQ III locks them in their office and announces that he’s taking over.

Megatron is using TORQ and the circuit linker cards to remotely control fleets of [[oil tanker]]s. This alerts [[Teletraan I (G1)|Teletraan I]], who notifies [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]]. Prime then receives Dr. Gates’ distress signal; Gates fills him in on TORQ III’s rebellion and asks to be rescued.

[[Image:Dayofmachinesautossurround.jpg|right|225px|thumb|The Autobots play "Monkey in the Middle" with a bunch of Brawls.]]

[[Hound (G1)|Hound]] and [[Jetfire (G1)|Skyfire]] are assigned to investigate the tankers, and [[Spike Witwicky (G1)|Spike]] tags along. Prime leads a group to Quantum Labs, where they immediately come under attack by machines controlled by TORQ. Overwhelmed, Prime orders in the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]] (minus [[Swoop (G1)|Swoop]]) to come help, and they smash, chomp and melt down all of the machines. [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]] makes his usual pompous comment about having to save Prime’s bacon when things get rough. Afterward, Prime rescues Dr. Gates and they advance toward the buildings, meeting lots of resistance from TORQ’s machines.

Meanwhile, Hound, Spike and Skyfire sneak aboard an oil tanker and infiltrate the [[Decepticon]]s' oil platform. Their attack falls short when Spike is captured and they are forced to surrender.

After smashing more remote-controlled machines at Quantum, Prime decides to explore inside TORQ’s maze-like complex alone. As Optimus moves in closer, one of the machines places a circuit linker card on him, making him Torq’s slave, and he is brought into the computer’s domain. But—surprise, surprise—Prime rips the card off his body, saying it was a dud he placed in the robot’s claw, and he disables TORQ with a well-placed punch to the control panel. At the oil platform, Soundwave senses TORQ's demise; Megatron takes over control of the tankers with a gargantuan remote control device.

[[Image:DayOfMachines Megatron remote control.jpg|left|250px|thumb|"So this is what a human Cell Phone looks like."]]

Dr. Gates lends the Autobots a high-speed hydrofoil to reach the Decepticons. Back at the oil platform, Spike has hatched an idea to use an electromagnet (which happened to be in their cell) to immobilize [[Rumble (G1)|Rumble]] and [[Ravage (G1)|Ravage]]. Skyfire easily smashes through the cell door and Hound disables the force dome that was protecting the platform. The rest of the Autobots arrive and a battle ensues. Prime faces down Megatron and manages to wrest a remote control device from his hands, then tosses it back to him. Megatron lands on it, crushing it, and comes back up spitting mad. He retaliates by activating the self-destruct mechanism on the platform.

The [[Autobot]]s escape, but Prime stays behind to find Hound, Skyfire and Spike. He rips apart the platform deck, revealing the missing team members, and Skyfire flies them out of danger.

Finally, Prime says goodbye to Dr. Gates, who makes a parting comment about machines being unreliable, and then quickly retracts the statement when he realizes his gaffe. The Autobots laugh at the ungrateful human's hubris.

==Quotes==
"Illegal access! Illegal access!" 
"It certainly is."
:—'''TORQ III''' is reprogrammed by '''Megatron'''

"Good grief. More bad news. This isn’t one of our shining days."
:—'''Optimus Prime''' as TORQ's machines surround his troops.

"We help! ...Hmm. Always get Autobots out of messes they get into."
:—'''Grimlock''' laments at yet another Autobot bungle he is called upon to resolve. Forcefully.

"It's a safe bet those doors are locked." 
"Fortunately, I have a delicate lock-picking technique."
:—'''Dr. Gates''' and '''Optimus Prime''', right before Prime "delicately" blasts his way into TORQ's building.

"Come and get me you metal-headed dumb-dumb." 
"That's one stupid Decepticon."
:—'''Skyfire''' and '''Hound''' accurately assess Frenzy's level of intelligence.

"What do you say, guys? Can you bash it down?" 
"With a smile on our lip components!"
:—'''Spike''' and '''Hound''' discuss the finer points of Cybertronian facial structure.

"I'll take that transmitter, please." 
"The transmitter is mine!"
:—'''Optimus Prime''' is always polite. '''Megatron''', not so much.

"You took the word right out of my mouth. It was in there with my foot."
:—'''Dr. Paul Gates''' after he tells the ''Autobots'' that all machines are unreliable.

==Notes==
===Animation or technical glitches===
* As the security guard closes the Lost and Found cage's gate, his hand phases through the cage door.
* Soundwave's cassette door is blue instead of white before he releases Laserbeak.
* The access hatch in Megatron's head simply appears out of nowhere on his forehead, and likewise vanishes after closing.
* There's no evidence of the bizarre war machines in the Hall of TORQ when Megatron and Soundwave arrive. They suddenly appear once they're needed for the plot.
* Teletraan I has the radio-transmission muffle on its voice as it reports the oil tanker movements to Optimus Prime.
* Prime comments that the tankers are converging near [[Decepticon Headquarters (G1 Earth)|Decepticon Headquarters]], but the graphics show them in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. Decepticon HQ is somewhere near the Pacific coast.
* After he transforms, Prime's cab wheels are somehow in ''front'' of his trailer. (Sure is a pretty sequence otherwise, though!)
* Prowl's face changes from gray to white as he turns to look at Wheeljack after the first commercial break.
* Snarl's tail is white instead of gold as he smashes the tank.
* Slag sure does spend a long time staring at the machines, growling and very pointedly moving his mouth. Was he supposed to have some dialog? Sludge does nearly the same thing before Prime uses him as a ladder.
* Prime's whole face is the same blue color as his helmet as he offers the humans a lift down from their window.
* "Personnel" is spelled with only one "n" on the TORQ Project's building sign.
* Is that supposed to be Hook lowering the cargo pipe onto the tanker? 'Cause he's colored yellow instead of green, and has an inexplicably radioed-in voice, and isn't quite on-model, and he never actually transforms, and... maybe it's not supposed to be Hook. Hound does however refer to him by name.
* Laserbeak's feet aren't fully drawn as he carries Spike past the camera.
* Laserbeak is shown outside the force field as he flies over Hound. He should be inside.
* Skyfire's chest cockpit is white instead of blue as he drops his gun.
* Sideswipe's head is colored red instead of black as he flees from a Torq-controlled machine.
* The claws holding Sideswipe's wrists just kind of randomly let him go for no reason.
* Prime's eyes are red instead of blue as the tentacle machine drags him toward its spinny things.
* Soundwave reports that "ORQ" {{sic}} is no longer functional.
* The Decepticons sure take their time getting yanked back by the electromagnet, whose effect should be instantaneous. It also doesn't seem to bother the Autobots, who run right through the spot where the Decepticons were standing when the magnet grabbed them.
* Hound's missile, supposedly removed by the Decepticons, is suddenly back in place as they run out of the cell. (In a nice bit of continuity, his launcher does remain empty after he destroys the force field generator.)
* Soundwave's optics are white when he notifies Megatron that the force field is down.
* Sparkplug is suddenly standing, unsheltered, in the middle of the Autobots, who were in a raging firefight just seconds before.
* Skyfire's chest is missing his Autobot symbol as he and Hound react to the platform's explosions. The same error repeats in the episode's closing scene.
* The bottom of Prime's waist is about twice its normal size as he and the other Autobots react to Dr. Gates' "unreliable" comment.

===Continuity errors===
* Dr. Gates' friend walks around with a remote that can open a single filing cabinet. In Dr. Gates' office, no less!
* Considering how easily they move around the complex, blowing holes in stuff, it's not at all clear why the Decepticons needed to go through the trouble of sneaking into the place in their alternate modes.
* How do the remote linker cards grant control of machines just by being hooked to random parts of them, not their computer circuits?
* Since when do oil tankers travel in enormous fleets? Is this World War II?
* The Dinobots disappear from the story after their one battle, despite the fact that the Autobots meet more resistance before they reach TORQ III. Also curious is Swoop's total absence.
* Hound and Skyfires' cell has a bunch of scrap metal and a usable magnet in it...for some reason.
* Hound and Skyfire suddenly have their weapons back after busting out of the "cell."
* Prime claims that he inserted a dead circuit linker into the claw of TORQ's "friend". However, the animation basically allows no opportunity for this to happen. Furthermore, the circuit linker that he took from Sparkplug earlier sure didn't appear to be "dead"!
* Superhuman Spike: Spike picks up a metal electro-magnet which is nearly as big as he is.

===Continuity notes===
* Gadgets and powers:
** Megatron's gun mode actually shrinks to a human adequate scale, the only time we see him do this.
** Skyfire once again uses his jet-with-legs half-transformation.
** Ironhide destroys one of TORQ's machines by ''walking right through the blast'' it's emitting and sticking his finger in its hose. He is old because he is '''hard'''!
** Hound fires his shoulder missile for the first and only time ever.
* This is one of Optimus Prime's shining episodes. He defeats TORQ III almost singlehandedly; he destroys Megatron's remote control device and foils the tanker stealing plan; and he saves Spike, Skyfire and Hound from sinking with the oil platform. No wonder he's in charge!

===Real-world references===
* Pre-Megatron TORQ III bears some passing resemblance to Oz, the Great and Powerful!
* Paul Gates, the scientist of Quantum Labs, could be a nod to the co-founders of Microsoft, Paul Allen and Bill Gates.

===Trivia===
* The original name for this episode was "The Machine Rebellion".
* Like a handful of other Season 2 episodes ("[[Autobot Spike]]", "[[Atlantis, Arise!]]"), this one begins with a short narrative voiceover from [[Victor Caroli]]. Unlike the others, this one actually conveys some information that isn't immediately conveyed by the animation (namely, what Quantum Laboratories does.)
* Script writer David Wise had previously used the concept of a computer able to remote-control machinery being taken over by a villain in a ''He-Man and the Masters of the Universe'' episode also named "Day of the Machines". The same episode also featured a small energy-based creature and Man-At-Arms shrinking himself to fix the computer.
*This is one of two episodes (the other being "[[Attack of the Autobots]]") not initially aired in Japan during the run of ''[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (franchise)|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers]]''. The episode was eventually dubbed in 1990 and released on [[Pioneer]]'s laserdisk set of the series. As such, it was retroactively added to the series official episode list as episode 74, a numbering reflected in ''[[Transformers Generations]]''.
*Having been dubbed several years after ''Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers'' had ended, not all the original cast members were able to return. [[Frenzy (G1)|Frenzy]] (originally voiced by [[Ken Shiroyama]]), [[Bluestreak (G1)|Bluestreak]] (originally voiced by [[Kōki Kataoka]]) and [[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack]] (originally voiced by [[Osamu Saka]]) were replaced by [[Katsumi Suzuki]].
