'''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.

===Marvel Comics continuity===
====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====
:''(Note: Classics ignores both the Marvel UK comics and ''Generation 2''.)''
[[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}}

Scrapper, who was evil, helped build Megatron. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness}}

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.

Scrapper's nasty side is shown when he uses the remains of damaged Autobots to make a throne.... nasty! {{storylink|Triple Takeover}}

===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}}

[[Image:Scrapperdevilsdue.jpg|right|thumb|100px|Scrapper calls Mindbender on a [http://www.nhl.com/rules/rule44.html 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, [[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.

===Generation 1===
* '''Scrapper''' (Constructicon, 1985)
: ''Team ID number:'' '''3'''
: ''Japanese ID number:'' '''33'''

* '''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===
* '''Scrapper''' (Constructicon, 1993)

: 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'''".

''"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.
