'''Glen Whitmann''' is an expert hacker and computer hardware technician.... who lives with his grandma. Unsurprisingly, he's a virgin.

A colossal dork, he spends his days playing ''Dance Dance Revolution'' with his [[Glen's cousin|cousin]], living under the shouty regime of his mother and [[Glen's grandmama|grandmother]], and can tell quickly the difference between an attack by Freddy Krueger and one by [[Wolverine (superhero)|Wolverine]]. He breaks almost instantly under pressure, but when he's ''really'' scared, is still capable of working his technological magic.

His biggest piece of advice: Eat ''all'' the donuts. If you don't touch them, they think you're guilty.

How in the hell he knows a hottie like [[Maggie Madsen]] is anyone's guess.

:''Actor'': [[Anthony Anderson]] (English), [[Wataru Takagi]] (Japanese-language dub voice), [[Mario Castañeda]] (Latin American Spanish-language dub voice)

[[Image:Movie2007 Glen DanceDanceRevolution.jpg|left|250px|thumb|Vrei sa pleci dar nu ma, nu ma iei.]]
It was the beginning of a bad day for Glen when his game of ''Dance Dance Revolution'' was interrupted by his improbably attractive friend [[Maggie Madsen|Maggie]]. Just her walking into his 'private area of zen and peace' without any advanced notice was enough trouble for poor Glen, but adding more pressure to it with his foul-tempered grandmother's meddling, which only made his day even worse (So much for zen and peace). At first, he was reluctant to end the game session with his cousin until Maggie told him she possessed highly classified data that would land her in jail for the rest of her life if the authorities found out. His curiosity piqued, Glen proceeded to hack into the data, discovering images and files about something called [[Megatron (Movie)|Project: Iceman]] and an organization named [[Sector Seven]]. In the code itself, he discovered [[Cybertronian languages|strange symbols]]. Before they could view any more information, an FBI assault team crashed through the front door, prompting Glen's cousin to break out of the back door in a bid to escape, but was tackled into the swimming pool by an FBI agent. As he and Maggie were handcuffed, Glen cried out that ''nobody'' treads on his grandma's carpet, especially the po-lice.

[[Image:Movie2007 SHEDIDIT.jpg|right|250px|thumb|SHE DID IT! She beats the President's high score on Space Invaders!]]
While in an FBI holding room, Glen ate a plate of donuts, telling Maggie that she shouldn't worry, the FBI were going to play 'Good cop/Bad cop', and the donuts were a test. He theorized that a guilty person would not touch the donuts, while an innocent man would eat them, and he'd eaten the entire plate. He concluded that all they needed to do is stick up for each other and they'd be fine. As soon as the interrogation agents arrived, making it wordlessly clear that the pair were both in a ''lot'' of trouble by placing a folder of information on the table, Glen suddenly cried out that it was all Maggie's fault, she was the one who brought him the data, and that he was just playing video games with his cousin. He further revealed that he was a virgin, and that the worst he had done was download a few thousand songs off the internet, but who hasn't? After being told to shut up by Maggie, he exclaimed that a criminal such as herself shouldn't talk to him, then quickly sat down to recover from the sugar rush while Maggie explained what she was trying to accomplish.

[[Image:Movie2007 that'sWolverine%21.jpg|left|250px|thumb|"So that's RID Megatron's third mode..."]]
Later, Secretary of Defense [[John Keller|Keller]] barged into the room, announcing that Maggie was coming with him as an adviser. Glen inquired about himself, prompting the confused Keller to ask who he was. Maggie replied that Glen was ''her'' adviser. Keller allowed him to come along. Soon, they were in a helicopter with [[Sam Witwicky|two]] [[Mikaela Banes|teenagers]] who were also on board for some reason. The boy broke the awkward silence, prompting Maggie to ask what did the government get them in for. To Glen's astonishment, the boy, Sam, replied that he bought a car that turned out to be [[Bumblebee (Movie)|an alien robot]].

When pressed on the nature of the [[AllSpark (Movie)|All Spark]]'s radiation, [[Seymour Simmons|Agent Simmons]] and [[Tom Banachek]] took them into a sealed room. When [[Robert Epps|Sergeant Epps]] noticed claw marks and inquired if [[Freddy Krueger]] had been in the room, Glen corrected the sergeant by reminding him that Krueger only had four claws, while the three on the wall indicated that it was [[Wolverine (superhero)|Wolverine]], which he found amusing. Agent Simmons replied that his joke was very funny, without a trace of humor. Possibly as a way of apologizing, Glen offered up his Nokia cel phone as a demonstration piece, turning it into a [[Nokia-bot|vicious little death machine]]. During the big Mexican stand-off between the United States Military Special Ops Team, and the Sector Seven Guards, Glen stood by fearfully with his hands in the air, as though he was being held hostage.

When the Iceman thawed, Secretary Keller, [[Seymour Simmons|Agent Simmons]], and Maggie managed to get an old radio, unfortunately, it had no microphones. Maggie suggested that Glen wire a computer to the radio and use that as an interface, using Keller's authorization codes as confirmation. Despite an attack by [[Frenzy (Movie)|a tiny killer robot]], Glen was able to link up with the military. {{storylink|Transformers (2007)|Transformers (2007)}}

==Notes==
[[Image:StorybookGlen.jpg|right|300px|thumb|"Soon, the Rainbow of Light will be mine! AHAHAHAHA - uh. *whinny*"]]
* Glen Whitmann's pre-production name was Glenn Ross Dygert.
* In ''[[Transformers: The Movie Storybook]]'', Glen is inexplicably white. Also, he has a [[My Little Pony]]. This is a leftover element from when artist [[Marcelo Matere]], working with early and sparse information, thought Glen was a ''female'' character.
* The role of Glen was initially offered to [[Patton Oswalt]], but he had already committed to another film. He hasn't said what movie it was. If it was ''Balls of Fury'', he's probably kicking himself.
* Glen's intelligence must be higher than anyone else's on Earth, given that he has a computer that can decypher the cybertronian language, let alone hack government code. Either that or he bought it from HP.
* A part of the scene where Glen is trying to contact the military for help while Frenzy is attacking was apparently cut out of the film. Footage from this part can be seen in trailers and TV spots when Glen is shown yelling, "The killer robot is really distracting!"

===''Revenge of the Fallen'' movie===
[[Image:Zelittleoneonboat.jpg|thumb|left|300px|Weeeeeeeeeee!!!!]]
After the [[AllSpark (Movie)|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|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>
*Along those lines, the canceled [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|''Transformers'' (2010) toyline]] figure multi-pack "Megatron Rising" features a red [[redeco]] of [[Scrapper (ROTF)|Scrapper]] that is most likely intended to have been Scrapmetal. However, the [http://www.tfw2005.com/resources/browsecategory.php?do=searchresults&searchid=364944 back of the packaging] shown at San Diego Comic-Con gave the red Scrapper's name as, er, Scrapper, suggesting a breakdown in communication somewhere.
*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. Maybe Scalpel needs better glasses?...

[[Image:HeatScramble_ROTFScrapper.jpg|thumb|250px|Dammit, my hand fell off again.]]

'''Scrapper''' is a [[Constructicon Scout]] that transforms into a front load shovel. When combined with his fellow [[Constructicon (ROTF)|Constructicon]]s, he becomes the right arm of [[Devastator (ROTF)|Devastator]]. He may also share a name with another loading scout who saw action at the battle of [[Egypt]]. Or yet a third one who saw action in the battle of Chicago.

===''Revenge of the Fallen'' movie===
[[Image:ROTF Scrapper HDTrailer.jpg|thumb|left|150px|"Look! I did appear in the movie! For all of ten seconds..."]] During the climactic [[Operation: Firestorm|battle]] in [[Egypt]] between the Autobots, their [[human]] [[NEST]] allies and [[The Fallen]]'s Decepticons, Scrapper appeared in a quarry with the other Constructicons before merging into Devastator to attack former [[Sector Seven]] agent [[Seymour Simmons]], [[Leo Spitz]], [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] and [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]].

[[Image:ROTF Scrapper protoform death.jpg|thumb|right|200px|"And I outlived all the Constructicons that got toys, too!"]]
Meanwhile at the Egyptian town, another Decepticon with Scrapper's [[body-type]] joined [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]]'s group to search for the fugitive [[Sam Witwicky]]. When the boy and [[Mikaela Banes]] were flushed out of hiding, Scrapper attempted to crush them with his fist/mace on a chain, but the humans escaped in the chaos.

Elsewhere, as Devastator smashed away at the [[Great Pyramid of Giza]] after shrugging off Skids and Mudflap, Simmons called upon the [[United States Navy]] to fire upon the giant Decepticon. The [[United States Navy#U.S.S. Kidd (DDG-100)|U.S.S. ''Kidd'']] fired her experimental [[Rail gun|railgun]], smashing the Scrapper arm to pieces and destroying Devastator. Back at the Egyptian town, the other Scrapper was destroyed when the [[United States Air Force]] bombed the heck out of the battlefield. {{storylink|Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen}}

===''Dark of the Moon'' movie===
[[Image:DOTMScrapper.jpg|thumb|left|250px|"I even showed up in the sequel!"]]
A Scrapper was hiding under the surface of [[Earth]]'s [[moon (moon)|moon]] with scores of other Decepticon troops. Once the Autobot traitor [[Sentinel Prime (ROTF)|Sentinel Prime]] and [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] activated the [[space bridge]] pillars, he and other Decepticons were able to cross over from the moon into the middle of [[Washington, D.C.]]. Scrapper then participated in the subsequent invasion of [[Chicago]]. During the climatic battle in Chicago, he was killed by [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]]'s [[Dual Energon Swords|energon sword]] when he came charging down the main battlefield. {{storylink|Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon}}

*'''Scrapper''' (2009)
**''Japanese ID Number:'' '''D5'''

:Scrapper and the six other Legends class Constructicons combine to form Devastator. In Japan, the Legends class Constructicons are sold individually. He forms the right arm of Devastator.

*'''Constructicon Devastator''' (Legends figure multi-pack, 2010)

:In [[Hasbro]]'s markets, the Legends Constructicons are sold together as a [[Walmart]]-[[exclusive]] multipack.

*'''Constructicon Devastator''' (2009)
:Scrapper is a scoop loader that becomes one of Devastator's arms. in fiction and in the instructions, he forms the right arm. As with the other Constructicons in this set, he lacks a robot mode. Bummer.
:He has the code "BG-E" printed below his Decepticon symbol.
{{-}}

====Mega Power Bots====
[[Image:ROTF MegaPowerBots Devastator.jpg|right|300px|thumb|"... into a robot?! Why don't I have a Voyager toy that transforms into a robot??!!"]]
*'''Constructicon Devastator''' (2009)
: [[Mega Power Bots]] Devastator is a simple toy for younger children, featuring plenty of playing sounds and flashing lights. His limbs have limited swivel articulation and do not detach into separate vehicles. He has a distinctly more humanoid stature than normal.

: Unlike regular [[Power Bots]], and unlike other portrayals of the character in general, Devastator features a transformation! It consists of putting his arms up and laying him flat on his stomach, which lets him roll around using the wheels on his limbs.

: Pressing down the Decepticon shield on his crotch (!) spins the vortex in his chest, lights up his eyes and makes him utter one of many Welker-recorded phrases, including [[Transformers: The Movie|"Prepare for extermination!"]], "Crush Autobots!" and "I am Devastator!" Pressing on the crane of his excavator arm makes a cannon blast sound effect, while pressing the cab of his loader arm turns the scoop into claws.

*'''Constructicon Devastator''' (Legends figure giftset, 2010)

:A [[Toys"R"Us]]-exclusive Generation 1-themed redeco of Legends Devastator and his components. Unlike Takara's go at the same idea, Scrapper and the other Constructicons are mostly just lime green and gray, with the only bits of purple being their windshields. They do, however, have brown [[paint operation]]s on and around their wheels to simulate dirt.

*'''Megatron Rising''' (Figure multi-pack)

:This retailer exclusive multi-pack recreated the scene in ''[[Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' where the Constructicons resurrect Megatron. This red redeco of Scrapper was most likely intended to be [[Scrapmetal (ROTF)|Scrapmetal]], better known as "Ze little one" who was sacrificed to rebuild the Decepticon leader. He comes packed with (apparently) unchanged Constructicon Devastator figures of [[Long Haul (ROTF)|Long Haul]], [[Rampage (ROTF)|Rampage]], [[Mixmaster (ROTF)|Mixmaster]], and a metallic green redeco of Voyager class Megatron

:It has never been revealed for which retailer this multi-pack was intended for.

:An extremely-simplified version of Scrapper's vehicle mode is included as part of [[Devastator (ROTF)#Burger_King|Burger King Devastator]]. Though his ball socket is compatible with any of Devastator's limb connections, it's marked with an A to indicate he forms Devastator's right arm.

==Notes==
[[Image:ROTF Constructicon concept.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Scrapper or [[Scrapmetal (ROTF)|Scrapmetal]]? Hell if we know.]]
* In the scene where the Constructicons revive Megatron, an aerial shot of the Constructicons in vehicle form shows [[Scrapmetal (ROTF)|a Decepticon]] with a front load shovel alternate mode and body type similar to Scrapper. However [[Hasbro]] [http://www.actionfigs.com/index.php?categoryid=21&p2_articleid=2471 do not consider ze little one Scrapper,] based on their comment that [[Demolishor (ROTF)|Demolishor]], Rampage, Mixmaster and Long Haul received figures first because they had more screentime. Additionally, a latter shot showed a Volvo excavator in place of the front loader. So, Scrapper was not killed by his fellow Constructicons. He's still considered dead from aerial bombardment, though.
** The bot who was killed and used to rebuild Megatron (i.e. "Ze Little One"), was given the name [[Scrapmetal (ROTF)|Scrapmetal]].
* Apparently, he'll never have a Voyager toy now that the films are over. Dammit.
