==Fiction==
===''Revenge of the Fallen'' movie===
[[Image:Zelittleoneonboat.jpg|thumb|left|300px|Weeeeeeeeeee!!!!]]
After the [[AllSpark|AllSpark shard]] was retrieved from [[NEST]]'s secure bunker at [[Diego Garcia]], Scrapmetal, [[Long Haul (ROTF)|Long Haul]], [[Rampage (ROTF)|Rampage]], and [[Mixmaster (ROTF)|Mixmaster]] secreted themselves aboard the ''[[Bayos]]'' freighter heading towards the North Atlantic. Once the ship passed over the [[Laurentian Abyss]], [[Ravage (ROTF)|Ravage]], carrying both the shard and [[Scalpel (ROTF)|the Doctor]], flew onto the ship, hiding between Scrapmetal and Mixmaster while a sailor passed. Once they reached the specific site, the Decepticons jumped overboard and dove down to where [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]'s broken body lay.

Once they located his shell, the Doctor was released to assess their leader's condition. After a quick examination, Scalpel declared that he would need some [[For parts|spare parts]] to replace the ones destroyed in the battle of [[Mission City]], and he ordered the death of the smallest Constructicon. Before Scrapmetal could protest, he was set upon by Long Haul and Mixmaster and beaten to death as they tore off the components needed to restore Megatron. Once these were attached, Scalpel struck Megatron with the shard, reviving the Decepticon leader. Scrapmetal's parts allowed Megatron to take the alternate mode of a Cybertronian tank with flight features. He may have been honored for all time for his sacrifice for the Decepticon cause. But probably not. {{storylink|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen}}

==Notes==
[[Image:ROTF Constructicon concept.jpg|thumb|right|275px|What are you? Seriously we want to know.]]
*[[Hasbro]] had no idea that "ze little one" had a nickname and a following; they found the idea funny and noted that they liked to call him Scrapmetal, and hinted at working him in to a future toy release.<ref name="scrapmetal">[http://www.tfviews.com/news/main/hasbro-q-and-a/641 Hasbro Q&A December 2009 at TFviews.com]</ref>
*The on-screen identity of Scrapmetal is a bit on the fraught side. In the flyover shot of the barge on which the four Constructicons sit, a red bulldozer (Rampage), a concrete mixer (Mixmaster), a dump truck (Long Haul) and a yellow front-end loader are visible. The yellow front-end loader is the alternate mode of the Constructicon [[Scrapper (ROTF)|Scrapper]], ''and'' Scrapmetal's robot mode appears to be the same as Scrapper's. As such, the temptation to just consider this a Scrapper unit is great... except that, after the flyover shot, the yellow loader disappears, and is replaced with a yellow Volvo excavator, clearly marked with a large Decepticon [[insignia]]. Meanwhile, ''Hasbro'' have said Scrapmetal turns into a ''bulldozer''...<ref name="scrapmetal" />
**For the purposes of reducing headaches, we're assuming that the excavator is the "correct" vehicle mode, and that it just happens to transform into a robot mode that resembles Scrapper... even though it's not him.
*[http://www.stevejung.net/gallery/displayimage.php?album=4&pos=10 One abandoned Constructicon concept] by artist [[Steve Jung]] was a "nurse" that would have transformed into a Volvo ''wheel loader''. It is unknown if this character later evolved into Scrapmetal.
*Oddly enough, despite being referred to as "Ze little one", Scrapmetal is not the littlest Constructicon in the scene. [[Mixmaster (ROTF)|Mixmaster]] clearly stands at only half of his height in the dismemberment scene. (But Mixmaster would never admit to this in fear of being dismembered himself)
