:''Spider-Man is a [[human]] from the [[Generation 1 (franchise)|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:Spider-man.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Someday we may learn more about this mysterious Spider-Man.]]

'''Peter Benjamin Parker''' is a photographer for the ''[[Daily Bugle]]'' newspaper under Editor-in-Chief [[Joe Robertson]]. Parker is ''also'' the friendly costumed hero '''Spider-Man'''. Spider-Man possesses the abilities of Earth arachnids, allowing him to fire thread-like projectiles from his wrists. These threads may be used to spin webs of near-limitless size, as well as to capture thieves and other assorted rogues in the selfsame manner as a spider entraps traditional insects. Those who wonder about his boundless strength would be advised to listen closely, as his spectacular might is the result of radioactive energy flowing through his very veins. The aforementioned web-like materials fired from his wrists can also be used as a means of swinging to and fro, meaning that those who wish to observe the Spider-Man in action can best do so by simply looking overhead. In addition, he is known to be primarily a nocturnal adventurer, appearing in the deep of night wherever evil is afoot. His alacrity is so great, his timing so amazing, he has been compared to a flash of light. Despite his best efforts and good intentions, it seems that his attempts at justice are often overlooked, and while other heroes may find celebrity and fortune, poor Parker is constantly in one hang-up or another. Regardless, the Spider-Man soldiers on; wherever there is a fight or ruckus or tussle, the Spider-Man can be found!

Sometimes he has a black costume, which he can control with his mind, and can shapeshift into normal clothes.

He's kind of a smartass.

==Fiction==
===Generation 1===
====Marvel Comics continuity====
{{noteukonly}}
In 1984, while covering the news of the new [[Decepticon]] fortress in [[Oregon]], Peter Parker/Spider-Man intercepted [[Gears (G1)|Gears]], who had been sent on a scouting mission, and attacked, thinking Gears was one of the invaders. When [[Skywarp (G1)|Skywarp]] threw a tank at a gaggle of unwary reporters, Gears saved them, convincing Spider-Man he was good.

Spider-Man teamed up with the [[Autobot]]s to help rescue [[Sparkplug Witwicky]] from the [[Decepticon]]s. Spider-Man noted that he has had many adventures in his long history as a superhero. [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Optimus Prime]] replied that he is sure tales of his exploits would be interesting... they could possibly even be described as ''amazing''.

Spidey managed to get the Autobots past the army with a little subterfuge, which lasted about ten seconds. While the Autobots dealt with both the human army ''and'' some invading Decepticons, he and Gears made their way into the base. After dispatching the cassettes and [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]], the pair found Sparkplug, and [[Megatron (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Megatron]]! He used his webbing to completely mummify Megatron, but it didn't hold for very long. Megatron blasted a hole in the floor of their base, so Gears, and Sparkplug would plummet to their deaths. Webbing saved Spider and Spark, but couldn't hold Gears' weight.

Spider-Man was aghast that the Autobots would treat their comrade's apparent death so nonchalantly. He followed the Autobots back to the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]], and Prime failed to explain in any adequate sense how Gears was neither dead nor alive right then. But Spider-Man couldn't stick around, so he left. {{storylink|Prisoner of War!}}

[[Image:M23 noahacionrecycles.jpg|right|100px|thumb|Jameson was right, he ''is'' a bad influence.]]

''Megatron referenced Spider-Man's involvement just before reprimanding Starscream for challenging his authority.'' {{storylink|The Enemy Within!}}

[[Image:WrathofGuardian! Witwicky Spider-Man poster.jpg|120px|left|thumb|]]
''[[Buster Witwicky (G1)|Buster Witwicky]] has a poster of Spider-Man in his room, perhaps as a reminder of the hero that co-saved his father. {{storylink|The Wrath of Guardian!}}

Later, Spider-Man had become an iconic figure wearing a different costume, featuring a red mask with a black spiderweb pattern. [[Noah Acton]] wears a t-shirt bearing his likeness, indicating either kid appeal or counterculture status. {{storylink|Decepticon Graffiti!}}

====IDW comics continuity====
[[Image:Megsandspidy.jpg|left|200px|thumb|]]
As part of the [[Avengers]], Spider-Man traveled to [[Latveria]] to investigate [[Doctor Doom]]'s apparent attack on the neighboring country, [[Symkaria]]. Upon arrival, he and his fellow heroes found a dome-shaped structure emitting radiation and broke into it. Inside the building, they came under attack from automated laser turrets, and while Spider-Man was busy webbing them up and cracking jokes, he was suddenly electrocuted into submission and kidnapped by [[Runabout (G1)|Runabout]]. When he regained consciousness, he found himself strapped to a table by a giant robot named [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]], who explained that the hero was about to help him and his [[Decepticon]]s conquer the world. {{storylink|Man and Machine, Part One}} Megatron began extracting Spider-Man's radioactive blood, refining it into a powerful [[Energon (fuel)|energon]] isotope that he used to supercharge his troops. All Spidey could do was lay there and weakly taunt him. {{storylink|Man and Machine, Part Two}}

[[Luke Cage]] and [[Ratchet (G1)|Ratchet]] came to his rescue, but were promptly defeated by the charged-up Megatron. {{storylink|Man and Machine, Part Three}} However, after Megatron left to deal with the attacking Avengers and [[Autobot]]s outside, Spider-Man proved he still had enough strength to burst out of his restraints. After meeting with Ratchet and [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]], he agreed to power them up using Megatron's device as well. Ultimately, he didn't have to sacrifice even more blood, though, as [[Wolverine (superhero)|Wolverine]] offered to take his place. Spider-Man followed Ratchet and Prowl outside, where he webbed up Megatron in an attempt to stop him from escaping. It ultimately failed, but at least he made the Decepticon leader look mighty silly as he lay tied up and helpless on the ground! After everything was wrapped up, Spidey and the other Avengers returned home on the [[Quinjet]]. {{storylink|Man and Machine, Part Four}}

===Crossovers===
Unseen scientist [[Mister Fantastic]] constructed large, transforming [[Mech|battle armour]] for various superhumans; Spider-Man received two, one based on each of his costumes, both of which could transform into a high-speed motorcycle. It is likely Richards gained the idea from Spider-Man, as it is inconceivable the encounter with the Transformers wouldn't have a lasting impact on the vigilante.<ref>''Crossovers'' Motorcyle Spider-Man packaging bio</ref>

One sign of such an impact is that Spider-Man's activities seem to be focused solely on fighting [[Carnage|hostile]] [[Venom (Crossovers)|aliens]]. One of those aliens has somehow stolen and altered Spider-Man's loyal living costume; how he'll reclaim it is unknown. He clearly misses it, based on his second, black-painted armour!

Spider-Man later teamed up with fellow superhero [[Iron Man]], who built him a third battle suit—one that transformed into a helicopter and could combine with Iron Man's own bomber mech to form a "super jet".<ref>''Crossovers'' Spider-Man/Iron Man packaging bio</ref>

Iron Man apparently has a soft spot for the wall-crawler, as he constructed Spider-Man a ''fourth'' battle suit for when two wheels just aren't good enough. The transforming car mech can match Iron Man's suit in speed and is better armored than the original cycle suit.<ref>''Crossovers'' Race Car Spider-Man packaging bio</ref>

==Toys==
===Crossovers===
[[Image:-man.|right|250px|thumb|Is it perverted to think that this is actually a good likeness?]]
*'''Spider-Man''' (Marvel, 2008)
**''Accessories:'' 2 missiles

:''[[Crossovers]]'' Spider-Man transforms into a red and blue motorcycle. He has a "webbing missile" launcher on each arm, and the missiles become twin exhaust pipes in vehicle mode. Also, much of his transformation mirrors that of the 2007 movie [[(Movie)|(Movie)]].

:[[Venom (Crossovers)|Venom]] is delightfully not a [[black repaint]] of him.

{{-}}
[[Image:Spider-.|right|250px|thumb|Alternate scene from ''Spider-Man 3'': What would have happened if the possessed Peter's scooter, not his shoe.]]
*'''Black Costume Spider-Man''' (Marvel, 2008)
**''Accessories:'' 2 missiles

:A solid black [[]] of the above toy, including the formerly transparent parts. Er, yeah.

:Although this likeness of Spider-Man is obviously his appearance after he was infected by the (hence his proper name now being Spider-Man), he was most likely named "Black Costume" to avoid [[trademark]] issues.

{{-}}
[[Image:Crossovers-toy_SpiderMan09.|right|250px|thumb|Raise your hand if you're sure.]]
*'''Spider-Man''' (Marvel, 2009)
**''Accessories:'' 2 missiles

:Another of the original toy, the 2009 edition of Spider-Man replaces the light blue parts with dark blue, akin to his film and some of his comic appearances. This release featured new box art of Spider-Man.

{{-}}
[[Image:Crossovers-toy_.|right|250px|thumb|Great, so now he really is Iron Man's bitch.]]
*'''Spider-Man / Iron-Man''' (Marvel two-pack, 2009)

:This Spider-Man toy transforms into a slim, high-speed helicopter with big engine pods. He comes packaged with [[Iron Man]] (who transforms into a stealth bomber), and can combine with him in either mode to form a "giant super bomber"... or Spider-Man with a stealth bomber on his head.

{{-}}
[[Image:Crossovers-toy_.|right|250px|thumb|Oh god no! Does this mean he'll end up like that other [[:Spider-Man%27s_powers_and_equipment#Spider-Mobile|Spider-Mobile?]] ]]
*'''Spider-Man''' (Marvel, 2010)

:This Spider-Man toy transforms into a streamlined futuristic "Spider-Car" based loosely on a [http://www.automotoportal.com/article/peugeot-reveals-the-908-le-mans-race-car-at-the-paris-motor-show Peugeot 908 V12 LeMans-style racer]. It is fairly compact and unfolds in to a roughly 7" tall robot with much more angular features than the original motorcycle version. Unlike nearly ever other [[Crossovers]] figure, this one lacks a [[gimmick]] of any kind other than being a transforming Spider-Man.

:The toy's instructions are also somewhat crazy as they go through the entire transformation sequence, then ends with a picture of Spider-Man transformed a totally different way from the waist down (resembling the picture on the back of the card). This was likely done because transforming him the correct way makes it impossible for him to stand without splaying his legs far out to the sides. The instructions also fail to note the step wherein his legs extend slightly to reveal double-jointed knees.

{{-}}
[[Image:Crossovers-toy_.|thumb|right|250px| [[]] !]]
*'''Black Costume Spider-Man''' (Marvel, 2010)

:A second "black costume" , now for the car version of Spider-Man. This toy most likely also encounters the same naming problems as the black repaint before, the most likely reason as to why he is named "Black Costume" Spider-Man.

{{-}}
[[Image:Crossovers-toy_.|thumb|right|250px|]]
*'''Spider-Man''' (Marvel, 2010)

:A single-packed version of the helicopter Spider-Man from the Iron Man combiner pack, differing only in the shades of red and blue used for the plastic. While he has no combiner buddy anymore, he can always be combined with the similarly single-packed flying wing [[War Machine]] toy, if you're so inclined.

{{--}}

==Notes==
* Including Spidey as a sales boost was [[Jim Salicrup]]'s idea, as he was also the Spider-Man editor at the time.
* When Marvel approached Hasbro about the prospect of including Spider-Man in the third issue of the Generation 1 comic book, they initially turned the idea down, since Spider-Man was currently licensed to rival toy company Mattel for the ''Secret Wars'' toyline. Marvel convinced them to permit the appearance by putting Spidey in his black costume, whereas the ''Secret Wars'' toy was clad in his traditional red and blue, and therefore wouldn't be "advertised" by the comic.<ref>[http://moonbase2.madmooseforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=9377 Moonbase 2 podcast interview with Bob Budiansky]</ref> This meant adding a footnote to the story explaining that it took place prior to the recent issue of Spidey's own title in which he ditched the black threads upon finding out they were a [[Venom (Crossovers)|symbiote]].
* Reprints of Spider-Man's encounter with [[Iron Man|the Iron Man of 2020]] were used as a back-up strip in [[The Transformers (Marvel comic)|''The Transformers'' UK]].
* Spider-Man, along with the rest of Marvel's starring heroes, appeared in a special border on the cover of [[Heavy Traffic!|''Transformers'' #22]]. This border was included on all Marvel comics that month, celebrating Marvel Comics' 25th anniversary.
* It's occasionally claimed that a Spider-Man story published as part of the "[[wikipedia:Clone Saga|Clone Saga]]" during the 1990s features a line where Peter claims that he had never been to Oregon, thereby "clearly" establishing Spidey's guest appearance in [[Prisoner of War!|issue 3]] of the Marvel US ''Transformers'' comic as being not part of the mainstream ("616") Marvel universe. In fact, however, Peter claims (in a monologue) having never been to '''Utah''' in ''Spider-Man'' #57 (1995), since [[wikipedia:Kaine|Kaine]]'s murder of Louise Kennedy had happened there (in ''Spider-Man: The Lost Years'' #3).
*Veteran ''Transformers'' voice actor [[Dan Gilvezan]] did the voice of Spider-Man in [[Sunbow]]'s ''Spider-Man'' cartoons and Spider-Man 2099 in ''Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions''. [[Josh Keaton]] has done the webhead's voice in ''The Spectacular Spider-Man'' and ''Marvel vs Capcom 3''; he has also voiced Ultimate Spider-Man in ''Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions''.

* '''Erector''' (Micromaster Transport, 1989)

[[Image:G1Erector_toy.jpg|thumb|left|150px|If you experience an Erector lasting more than three hours, contact your doctor immediately.]]

: Erector (fnarr fnarr) transforms into a yellow semi cab pulling a relatively huge crane trailer. Erector and his trailer have a lot of sculpted detailing, and the fifth wheel (known as a 'hitch' among fans) allows the cab to turn as it tows the trailer. The trailer crane rotates, the arm pivots up and down, and it has a flip-out hook that imitates a crane's cable.

: Erector's transformation is standard for Micromasters — flip down the front of the vehicle to reveal his head, straighten out his legs, and you are done. His crane trailer transforms into a battle station, with flip-out stabilizers, communications antennas, a double-barrel gun that Erector can man (though he can't grasp the handles), and a large cannon formed out of the crane itself. Both the double gun and the main cannon can pivot up and down, and the latter retains its ability to rotate. As the other Micromaster Transports turn into planes, this base mode makes Erector unique among his sub-group.

:Erector (guffaw) is identical to the Japanese Micromaster character [[Cra-Gun]].

Scrapper (G1)

[[Image:Scrapper1.jpg|right|275px|thumb|"By my own standards, Metroplex is the awesomest thing ever."]]

'''Scrapper''' is the leader of the [[Constructicon (G1)|Constructicon]]s. While the other Constructicons put their masterpieces together, Scrapper is the one who designs everything for them. His designs are among the best in Transformer history, however, Scrapper is a modest Decepticon who quickly shrugs off the praise he receives. In that respect he is the polar-opposite of his second in command, [[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.

====Generation 1====
''(Note: Events in italics are from UK-exclusive stories.)''

''(Additional 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 {{storylink|Totaled!}}, [[Bonecrusher (G1)|Bonecrusher]] is named as their leader.)''

[[Image:Constructiconsbornmarvel.jpg|left|thumb|200px|Scrapper is the green and purple one.]]Early in the Transformers' war on [[Earth]], [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]] used the stolen power of the [[Creation Matrix]] to give life to the first of a new generation of Decepticon warriors, the [[Constructicon (G1)|Constructicon]]s. 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]], were sent by Shockwave to abduct [[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!}}''

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]]'s command, an attack was ordered on the combined Autobot forces on Earth's [[moon (moon)|moon]] while [[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!}}

'''(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]]. {{storylink|A Rage in Heaven!}}

====Classics====

[[Image:Scrappercrossingover.jpg|right|thumb|150px|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}}

===Dreamwave comics continuity===
[[Image:Scrappertww.jpg|left|thumb|200px|Construction vehicles are green on Cybertron, too.]]
Nine million years ago, a young [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] staged a Decepticon uprising and sieged [[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. 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]]. 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}}

The war entered a 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]]'s [[Ultracon]]s secretly enlisted Scrapper and his Constructicons. {{storylink|The War Within: The Dark Ages}}

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 buried for years in a shuttle explosion. When they awoke in 2002, the Constructicons combined into Devastator and rampaged [[San Francisco]]. Optimus Prime shot them in the head. {{storylink|Prime Directive}}

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, [[Dr. Mindbender]].

Their surroundings were soon under attack by Autobot and [[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.

: The complete set of Constructicons were re-released and [[redeco]]ed as part of the first assortments of ''[[Generation 2]]'' product. 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]]s 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.

*'''Constructicon Devastator''' (Wal-Mart exclusive, 2007)

:"Decepticon Scrapper" is one of the five toys included in this Wal-Mart exclusive giftset. He's a grey and black [[redeco]] of ''[[Energon (franchise)|Energon]]'' [[Bonecrusher (Energon)|Bonecrusher]] and [[Sledge (Energon)|Sledge]] with green and purple trim and translucent purple accessories.

===Merchandise===
* '''Scrapper''' (Decoy, 1987)

==Trivia==

* It is unknown what relationship, if any, exists between Scrapper and the ''[[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'''".

Scavenger (G1)

2008-03-15T11:40:45Z

86.161.220.239: /* Generation 1 */

{{Disambig3|Scavenger}}

:''Scavenger is a [[Decepticon]] [[Constructicon (G1)|Constructicon]] in the [[Generation 1]] continuity family.''

''"C'mon guys, wait up..."'' You can't help but feel sorry for '''Scavenger'''. He wants so badly to be liked and needed, to feel like a useful and valuable member of his team. His self esteem is so low he'd do just about anything to get the approval of the others, but his simpering, doting eagerness to please just reinforces the other Decepticons' opinion of him as a worthless loser. He's constantly excavating everywhere he goes in the attempt to find something of worth to please everyone and prove his value, but it's invariably just some piece of garbage or scrap he excitedly finds, and that just reinforces their opinion of his worthlessness once again. If it wasn't for his shovel's unique ability to detect needed materials, [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] and the others would likely have dumped the poor scrub long ago.

Scavenger combines with his fellow Constructicons to form [[Devastator]], where he serves the useful function of right arm.

==Fiction==

===Marvel Comics continuity===
====Generation 1====
''(Note: Events in italics are from UK-exclusive stories.)''

''(Additional note: In the Constructicons' origin story, Scavenger seems to be in charge, even though [[Scrapper (G1)|Scrapper]] is technically Constructicon Leader.''

[[Image:Constructiconsbornmarvel.jpg|left|thumb|200px|Scavenger is the green and purple one.]]Early in the Transformers' war on [[Earth]], [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]] used the stolen power of the [[Creation Matrix]] to give life to the first of a new generation of Decepticon warriors, the [[Constructicon (G1)|Constructicon]]s. Scavenger and his Constructicons were immediately given a mission upon their coming online: Construct a communications tower to transmit a message to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. A truck stop 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 Scavenger and the other Constructicons had built. {{storylink|The Next Best Thing to Being There!}}

''Scavenger and the Constructicons, after troubleshooting their union as [[Devastator]], were sent by Shockwave to abduct [[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!}}''

After [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron's]] retaking of Decepticon command, Scavenger and the other Constructicons were charged with building perimeter defenses 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]]'s command, an attack was ordered on the combined Autobot forces on Earth's [[moon (moon)|moon]] while [[Blaster]] and [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]] dueled for leadership. Under cover of battle, Scavenger and the other Constructicons retrieved the remains of several fallen and captured Decepticons. {{storylink|Totaled!}}

'''(Note: The following two sections both split off from the end of the Generation 1 comic, but in different, irreconcilable directions.)'''

====Generation 2====
Scavenger was seen on board the [[Warworld]] among the Decepticons rallied by [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] against [[Jhiaxus]]'s [[Cybertronian Empire]]. {{storylink|New Dawn}}

====Classics====

===Animated continuity===
:''Voice actor:'' [[Don Messick]] (US), [[Takurō Kitagawa]] (Japan)
