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 and prove his value, but it's invariably just some piece of garbage or scrap he excitedly finds, and that just sets him up for more derision and mockery. 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 is sadly not the sharpest shovel in the shed.<ref>Scavenger's [[Tech Spec]]s give him a whopping 2/10 in Intelligence.</ref>. He's the best Constructicon

Scavenger combines with his fellow Constructicons to form [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]], where he serves the useful function of right arm.

Millions of years ago, the evil Scavenger and the Constructicons built [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Megatron]] for the Decepticons. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 4}} Out of gratitude, Megatron would later turn the Constructicons evil with his [[Robosmasher|Robo-Smasher]] device, {{storylink|The Secret of Omega Supreme (episode)|The Secret of Omega Supreme}} and eventually built them on Earth. {{storylink|Heavy Metal War}}

{{note|Nothing in the preceding statements is confusing. These aren't the droids you're looking for.}}

[[File:HeavyMetalWar Scavenger.jpg|left|thumb|"This shovel of mine glows with an awesome power!"]]
For their first mission on Earth, the Constructicons raided an experimental power plant for the energy disc components and power converter on-site. The humans were using the components to tap into Earth's magnetic field for an infinite power supply and all the energy they'd ever need. Such a simple-minded (and straightforward) scheme was too unimaginative for the mighty Megatron, however—he had the Constructicons (1) build a strength transfer machine so that he could (2) utilize the powers of his fellow Decepticons to (3) best [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]] in personal combat and (4) force the Autobots into exile in deep space as a matter of honor, which would (5) leave Earth's resources open for plunder by the Decepticons in order to get (6) all the energy they'd ever need. An evil scheme without at least five unnecessary steps is fodder to Megatron.

To ensure his treachery went undetected, Megatron sent the Constructicons to destroy [[Teletraan I]], and prevent the super-computer from alerting the Autobots to his strength transfer. While all the Autobots left the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]] to watch the combat, Scavenger and friends tunneled into the volcanic caverns underneath [[Mount St. Hilary]]. Using his shovel's sensors, Scavenger pinpointed Teletraan I's location so that [[Mixmaster (G1)|Mixmaster]] could burn his way through the floor of Autobot headquarters. They thought the mission would be as simple as destroying a computer console...but nothing is simple when the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]] are on guard duty. The dim-witted but battle-hardened Dinobots forced the Constructicons outside and away from Teletraan I. To compensate, the Constructicons assumed their [[Devastator (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Devastator]] mode and turned the tide. With Teletraan I still active, though, the Autobots quickly uncovered Megatron's deception, and came to lend their dino-buddies a hand. [[Hound (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Hound]] used his holograms to distract Devastator long enough for Optimus Prime to blast him to pieces. Fleeing from the Dinobots' wrath, Scavenger and his teammates tumbled into a lava fissure opened up earlier by [[Sludge (G1)|Sludge]]'s groundquakes, and were temporarily deactivated. {{storylink|Heavy Metal War}}

[[File:CityofSteel Scavengerwreckstheceiling.jpg|thumb|"But Megatron, sir, we just built this base—" "Shut up and SMASH!!"]]
During a plan to turn [[New York City]] into New Cybertron, Megatron employed the Constructicons for...urban renewal. Several landmark buildings in Manhattan were loosened at their foundations and lowered into underground caverns by the Decepticons, allowing Cybertronian towers to be raised in their place. While [[Scrapper (G1)|Scrapper]] and [[Hook (G1)|Hook]] argued over whose creative contribution was greater to the overall plan, Scavenger dutifully used his shovel to break the foundation of the [[Empire State Building]], and quickly jumped to safety as the building fell onto the lowering platform. When the Autobots arrived to stop the Decepticon plan, Megatron arranged to kidnap Optimus Prime with Scavenger's help. After [[Laserbeak (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Laserbeak]] reported the Autobots would be at a rendez-vous in Central Park, Megatron and Scavenger travelled to that location in their underground lair and, reviving the trick he used on Teletraan I earlier, Scavenger pinpointed when they were directly underneath Optimus Prime in the park above. Scavenger then slammed his shovel with enough force to shatter the ground under Prime's feet, causing the Autobot leader to fall into Megatron's awaiting arms. Later on, Scavenger and the Constructicons joined forces to form Devastator, but were once again taken down by a single shot from Optimus Prime's laser rifle. And his arm wasn't even attached this time! {{storylink|City of Steel (episode)|City of Steel}}

When next employed by the Decepticons, Scavenger and the Constructicons built a [[transfixatron]] for Megatron to freeze the Autobots in [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]]. After rendering the Autobots helpless, a second (and elaborate) Constructicon device would crush the Autobots into chunks. In a turn of events no one could possibly see coming, the initial plan failed and Megatron was forced to rely on his back-up strategy: initiate Devastator and crush everything. This time, [[Wheeljack (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Wheeljack]] and [[Cliffjumper (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Cliffjumper]] defeated Devastator by turning the transfixatron on its own creators, causing Scavenger and friends to lose their "transformation identity" and revert helplessly back to vehicle mode. {{storylink|The Autobot Run}}

[[File:TheCore ConstructiconsMegatronPoint.jpg|left|thumb|"I thought I told you kids to clean out the gutters!"]]
In their next endeavor, the Constructicons were charged with building a drill to tunnel down to [[Earth's core|Earth's molten core]], unleashing the energy for Megatron's use and consumption. Scavenger nearly upset the entire project, however, after a malfunction in his geological sensors guided the drill to an unstable part of the mantle—the resultant rock fracture nearly upset the entire drill site. What's worse, when Scavenger was having his circuits checked out by Mixmaster on the surface, they were spotted by a group of Autobots. This in part led to the Autobots temporarily gaining control over the Constructicons and Devastator, although Megatron would tell you that was part of his plan all along. In the end, Megatron's plan inevitably went wrong and threatened all life on Earth. Devastator was the only one who could fly to the center of the earth to stop the drilling in time. In their group huddle before combining, Scavenger actually started tearing up, telling his fellow Constructicons how great it was being part of the team. [[Bonecrusher (G1)|Bonecrusher]] essentially told him to grow a robo-spine, and then they saved the world. {{storylink|The Core}}

Sometime later, Scavenger and the Constructicons exploited [[Grapple (G1)|Grapple]]'s artistic nature for their own ends. Grapple had designed a solar power tower that could produce limitless energy, but couldn't get the plan approved by Optimus Prime without an explanation of how he'd keep it from the Decepticons. The Constructicons came upon [[Hoist (G1)|Hoist]] and the distraught Grapple, and offered their services for the "greater glory of art." Scavenger was right there with the other Constructicons, manipulating Grapple's pride as an engineer. The Autobots eventually destroyed the tower and saved Grapple and Hoist after the Constructicons turned on them, but this outing proved that—despite his easy-to-please nature and team player attitude with his fellow Constructicons—Scavenger was ultimately a Decepticon at heart. {{storylink|The Master Builders (episode)|The Master Builders}}

[[File:Microbots RumbleScavenger.jpg|thumb|"Nice shootin'... if you were aimin' for the sky!"]]
When searching for the ''[[Nemesis (G1)|Nemesis]]'' after it was unearthed in Central America, Scavenger and the Constructicons aided the Decepticons in clearing a path to the lost ship. Scavenger enjoyed some bonding time with [[Rumble (G1)|Rumble]], destroying the foliage and making fun of [[Starscream (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Starscream]]. Later, he used his sensors to track down the ship's stardrive by locating the [[Cybertroid alloy]] inside. {{storylink|Microbots}}

When [[Shawn Berger]] announced [[Decepticon Day]] after getting the Autobots ostracized, Scavenger was the ''only Constructicon'' not seen participating in the parade. Guess not even Megatron's edited propaganda could make people like him. When the Autobots returned to Earth, Scavenger was seen <s>lying in a smoking wreck</s> courageously battling alongside his fellow Decepticons. {{storylink|Megatron's Master Plan, Part 2}}

Nearly all the Autobots and Decepticons on Earth began suffering from a [[Cybertonium]] deficiency, losing their fine motor control and proper operating status without this necessary element. Scavenger and the Constructicons were among the few Transformers on Earth unaffected (which actually makes sense under any of their origins), and were awaiting a shipment of Cybertonium from [[Shockwave (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Shockwave]] via the [[space bridge]] when the Dinobots attacked. Scavenger missed the call-to-arms to become Devastator, though, and was knocked aside by Sludge before he could merge with the others. This left Devastator a handicapped southpaw, and the Dinobots made their way through the space bridge to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. {{storylink|Desertion of the Dinobots, Part 1}}

[[File:DesertionDinobots1 ScavengerDinobots.jpg|left|thumb|Scavenger was listening to his iPod while digging, and didn't hear the call to battle. Look what happened. Remember, kids—don't excavate and iPod.]]
While mining an asteroid in low orbit for Megatron, Scavenger and the Constructicons confronted Omega Supreme for the first time since leaving Cybertron. They only managed to avoid his vengeance because Optimus Prime forced Omega Supreme to put his duty before revenge—it was clear that a mad Omega Supreme would easily outmatch Devastator in a fight any other day of the week. {{storylink|The Secret of Omega Supreme (episode)|The Secret of Omega Supreme}}

When [[Blitzwing (G1)|Blitzwing]] became temporary co-leader of the Decepticons, Scavenger helped build his "zone defense" in the form of a highway maze. According to Scrapper, he later got lost in said maze, along with most of the other Constructicons. When Blitzwing refused to uphold his end of the deal and share Decepticon leadership, Scavenger and the Constructicons combined into Devastator and began to beat him up. Unfortunately, Devastator was distracted by the arrival of Astrotrain and several tons of water, allowing Blitzwing to topple him over. A chaotic mess of a battle between the Decepticons then ensued, with Devastator threatening Blitzwing, then tossing aside Megatron after trying to usurp him, then swatting Starscream out of the air, then grabbing Megatron again and absolutely ''dunking'' him into the ground, then somehow getting plastered by Megatron off-screen so hard he de-combined. After Megatron told everyone their place, the Constructicons re-combined for some reason before flying home. {{storylink|Triple Takeover}}

Scavenger and the Constructicons built Megatron an [[energy transductor]] on top of his [[Sky Platform]]. Unfortunately, it would only work if Megatron could glean the energy formula from [[Astoria Carlton-Ritz|some human woman]]. It didn't go very well. {{storylink|The Girl Who Loved Powerglide}}

Scavenger's sensing abilities enabled the Decepticons to precisely locate and excavate the [[Pearl of Bahoudin]]. His digging uncovered the Pearl and its weather-altering powers for Megatron. Shortly afterward, he joined almost a dozen of his teammates in surrounding and firing on three Autobots who had captured the Pearl. {{storylink|Trans-Europe Express}}

[[File:TFTM Scavenger.jpg|thumb|"I'm tired of being a doormat! It's time for Scavenger to shine!"]]
After Starscream finally engaged in open rebellion against Megatron, the Decepticon commander gathered Scavenger and the other Constructicons to his side in order to battle the traitor and his brigade. Megatron considered Devastator his ultimate weapon to use against Starscream, but Starscream had prepared his [[Combaticon (G1)|Combaticons]] with a combined form of their own: [[Bruticus (G1)|Bruticus]]. Bruticus made remarkably short work of the Mighty Devastator. {{storylink|Starscream's Brigade}}

The Constructicons built Megatron's next weapon, the next in a [[Fire on the Mountain (episode)|long]] [[B.O.T. (episode)|list]] of super-powerful beams, which required several stolen components: laser lenses, an experimental generator, and the world's largest, most perfect ruby. After the weapon had been completed, the Constructicons were dismissed and flew back home. {{storylink|Masquerade}}

[[File:TFTM Daniel rams Decepticons.jpg|thumb|left|"Welp, back to the doormat!"]]
In preparation for the [[Battle of Autobot City|Decepticon assault]] on [[Autobot City (G1)|Autobot City]], the Constructicons helped Megatron and Starscream board an [[Autobot shuttle]]. [[Prowl (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Prowl]], one of the crew members, attacked Scavenger, who returned fire and killed him with a single shot. And he ''still'' gets no respect. The Decepticons subsequently flew the shuttle to Autobot City, where the Constructicons wrecked things both separately and as Devastator until Megatron was defeated and Starscream called for a retreat. On the [[Astrotrain (G1)|train ride]] home, a fight for leadership broke out, but the Constructicons didn't win. Instead the victory went to Starscream, and Scavenger and his comrades were content with playing horns at his coronation. However, Starscream was soon killed by [[Galvatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Galvatron]], a reborn Megatron who immediately took back control of his troops. Scavenger followed Galvatron to the planet of [[Junkion (planet)|Junk]] to hunt down [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Ultra Magnus]], but ended up being knocked over by [[Daniel Witwicky (G1)|Daniel Witwicky]] alongside [[Shrapnel (G1)|Shrapnel]]. {{storylink|The Transformers: The Movie}}
{{note|Scavenger’s involvement in these events, or events mostly similar, were also chronicled in the comic mini-series "[[Transformers: The Animated Movie]]."}}

[[File:ScavengerFFOD1.JPG|thumb|""Cannot answer now?" Son of a-"]]
Following Galvatron's defeat, the Decepticon army was forced to live on the barren world of [[Chaar]], where they fought each other over the small scraps of [[Energon]] they could find. When Astrotrain arrived with a shipment of three or four [[energon cube]]s, Scavenger punched Bonecrusher in the back and grabbed his share, despite Bonecrusher calling dibs on it. Scavenger doesn't care for the rule of dibs. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 1}} When the Quintessons arrived with more Energon, Scavenger was among the Decepticons who dogpiled onto it after seeing it was safe. While gorging themselves, the Decepticons heard out the Quintessons' offer: Destroy the Autobots, and they get unlimited Energon forever. Scavenger was presumably among the overwhelming majority who accepted the offer. Upon arriving on [[Goo Number 8739-B|Goo]], the Decepticons began firing on the Autobots. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 3}} Scavenger was at the tail end of this assault, albeit [[Five Faces of Darkness, Part 4#Animation and technical errors|colored all white]]. After being fired upon by Galvatron, the Decepticons quickly switched back to his side. During Rodimus Prime's Matrix flashback, Scavenger was seen with the other Constructicons creating Megatron. Remember, it's not confusing. Oddly enough, Scavenger was not present when the other Constructicons built and activated [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]]. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 4}} Scavenger watched with the other Constructicons as Trypticon destroyed [[Ark (G1)|Autobot Headquarters]]. They then watched Trypticon advance on [[Autobot City (G1)|Autobot City]], and fired on [[Sky Lynx (G1)|Sky Lynx]] when he entered the atmosphere, though Trypticon was the one who hit him. Scavenger, Mixmaster, and Bonecrusher tried to grab [[Wheelie (G1)|Wheelie]], but were outpaced. Scavenger was then knocked offline by Galvatron back on Cybertron, then quickly returned to normal. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 5}}

Scavenger and the Constructicons later constructed a giant engine on an asteroid, in order to send the giant rock crashing into [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]]. When a group of Autobots came to destroy the engine, Scavenger formed the right leg of Devastator, which should not be possible. Regardless, Devastator was immediately defeated by [[Broadside (G1)|Broadside]], and the Constructicons soon crashed onto the planet [[Eurythma]]. There, Scavenger stole Scrapper's position on the combiner ''again'', and Devastator was defeated by a single blast from [[Perceptor (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Perceptor]]. ''Perceptor''. {{storylink|Carnage in C-Minor}}

When the rest of the Constructicons participated in the attack on [[Paradron]], Scavenger was again nowhere to be seen. They must really not like him. {{storylink|Fight or Flee (episode)|Fight or Flee}} As part of Devastator, he later helped [[Predaking (G1)|Predaking]] fight [[Broadside (G1)|Broadside]] in the sea of [[Japan]]. {{storylink|The Burden Hardest to Bear}} Alongside the other Constructicons, Scavenger was very briefly seen joining in on the attack on the [[Plasma Energy Chamber]]. {{storylink|The Rebirth, Part 1}}

When the Decepticons learned of the Scramble City project being secretly assembled by the Autobots, Megatron sent his henchmen to interfere with their work. The Constructicons joined Starscream and his flying partners in an attack on the Autobots. Optimus Prime and a task force of Autobots held their position until Scavenger and the Constructicons inevitably joined forces into Devastator. The Aerialbots gave Devastator a good whippin', though, and the Decepticons retreated. {{storylink|Scramble City: Mobilization}}

Scavenger and the Constructicons were stationed on Earth in [[2011]], under the command of [[Sixshot (G1)|Sixshot]]. They attempted to prevent Ultra Magnus from sending reinforcements to Cybertron to help the Autobots fend off Galvatron's siege on [[Vector Sigma]]. Scavenger 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}}

In the year [[2010]], Scavenger participated in a Decepticon attack on the planet Feminia. He and his team merged into Devastator in order to battle alongside Bruticus and Menasor against their Autobot counterparts Superion, Defensor and Omega Supreme. The fight was fairly evenly matched until Galvatron called up his ace-in-the-hole, [[Predaking (G1)|Predaking]], whose power was unmatched by any of the Autobots... except for the [[Omnibot (G1)|Omnibots]], who essentially tied Predaking's shoelaces together until he fell over, straight into Devastator and his chums, sending them all toppling to the ground and knocking them to bits. {{storylink|The Story of Super Robot Lifeforms: The Transformers issue 5|The Story of Super Robot Lifeforms: The Transformers #5}}

{{Wingsnote}}
Nine million years ago, Scavenger was a member of the construction team that built [[Crystal City]]. It was during this project that he and his fellow Constructicons were introduced to [[Omega Supreme (G1)|Omega Supreme]]. {{storylink|Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club issue 42|Hauler's ''Wings of Honor'' profile}} The Constructicons rose to prominence thanks to their immense architectural skills, and formed their own faction under the leadership of Hook. They were forced to align themselves with the Decepticons in order to maintain access to Kaon's smelting pools, which granted him access to the raw building material they needed to continue their work. Unhappy with this arrangement, seven renegade Constructicons went underground, building Megatron in an attempt to take power for themselves. Unfortunately for them, Megatron turned on them and formed his own group of Decepticons, eventually brainwashing Scavenger and the others into his service with the Robo-Smasher. {{storylink|Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club issue 42|Devastator's ''Wings of Honor'' profile}} Among their first acts as Decepticons, the Constructicons destroyed Crystal City. {{storylink|Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club issue 42|Hauler's ''Wings of Honor'' profile}}

Scavenger was part of Hook's team when [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Megatron]] ordered the creation of Devastator. {{storylink|Battle Lines, Part 5}} During the third Cybertronian war, the Constructicons were ambushed at [[Elevation Recostalus]] by a group of Autobots including [[Hauler]] and [[Erector (G1)|Erector]], who disabled them before they could form Devastator. The group remained offline until 1984, when Megatron rebuilt them on Earth. {{storylink|Transformers I.Q.#issue 45|Transformers I.Q. last issue review}}

During the [[Battle of Autobot City]], Devastator was blasted apart by [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Ultra Magnus]]'s team.

Early in the Transformers' war on [[Earth]], [[Shockwave (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|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]]. Scavenger and his Constructicons were immediately given a mission upon their coming online: to 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!}}

After [[Megatron (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Megatron]]'s retaking of Decepticon command, Scavenger and the other Constructicons were charged with building perimeter defenses around [[Wyoming base|their headquarters]] located at the base of a coal strip mine in eastern [[Wyoming]].

The Constructicons chased down the interlopers, blasting at them through a nearby forest. During the chase, they merged into Devastator in an attempt to overtake the pair. While in this form, they were duped into blasting a hydro-electric dam. Realizing what was coming, the Constructicons only had time enough to separate before the concrete structure collapsed, unleashing a torrent of water.

During [[Ratbat (G1)|Ratbat]]'s command, Scavenger and the Constructicons (without Mixmaster, oddly) raided a building site in downtown [[Atlanta]], [[Georgia]] for raw materials such as girders. {{storylink|Toy Soldiers!}} He was then seen aboard the Decepticons' [[Club Con|island base]] in the [[Caribbean Sea|Caribbean]] when it was attacked by the Autobot [[Targetmaster (technology)|Targetmasters]] looking to rescue Buster Witwicky. {{storylink|The Desert Island of Space!}}

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

=====Movie future timeline=====
[[File:Scavenger shrapnel daniel the final battle.jpg|thumb|upright=0.7]]
When Megatron launched an all-out offensive against [[Autobot City (G1)|Autobot City]] in the year [[2005]], Scavenger was among the troops who besieged the outpost. He and the other Constructicons combined into Devastator at Megatron's command to breach Autobot City's outer defenses. When the Decepticons were eventually forced to retreat inside [[Astrotrain (G1)|Astrotrain]], the Constructicons were relatively unscathed from the battle. As such, they voted that all injured Transformers be jettisoned when Astrotrain complained he didn't have the energy necessary to carry them all back to Cybertron. {{storylink|The Planet-Eater!}}

After a brief substitution in leadership, the Decepticons fell back under the command of Megatron, now reborn as [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]]. Scavenger and [[Shrapnel (G1)|Shrapnel]] accompanied him when he traveled to the [[Junkion (planet)|planet of Junk]] to snatch away the [[Matrix of Leadership]] from [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Ultra Magnus]]. Scavenger and Shrapnel went after an easy target in Magnus's group, attacking the young human [[Daniel Witwicky (G1)|Daniel Witwicky]]. The boy managed to outpace the pair by converting his [[exosuit]] into its vehicular mode and driving off. {{storylink|The Final Battle!}}

=====Earthforce=====
{{earthforcefiction}}
Scavenger, like most of the Constructicons, served under Megatron's command during the Earthforce saga. He was first seen talking to [[Rampage (G1)|Rampage]] from Shockwave's camp during the [[Enclave]], a peace-talk called for when the fighting between Megatron and Shockwave's factions reached its zenith. He was presumably swept into the brawl that resulted from the Autobots faking an assassination attempt on Megatron. {{storylink|The Bad Guy's Ball!}} Later, he was present when Soundwave and [[Starscream (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Starscream]] successfully took over the factions and united the Decepticons. {{storylink|Internal Affairs!}} Scavenger joined the majority of the Decepticon forces in a major attack on Autobot [[Earthbase]] under Soundwave's command, hoping to draw attention away from Starscream's raid on an off-shore [[oil tanker]]... and maybe kill a 'Bot or two. Instead, they ended up with no [[oil]], and Scavenger got roasted by [[Slag (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Slag]]'s flame breath. {{storylink|Divide and Conquer!}}

====Marvel ''Generation 2'' comic====
Scavenger was seen on board the [[Warworld]] among the Decepticons rallied by [[Megatron (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Megatron]] against [[Jhiaxus (G2)|Jhiaxus]]'s [[Cybertronian (faction)|Cybertronian Empire]]. {{storylink|New Dawn}}

====''Classics''====
{{noteclassics}}
Thanks to partial schematics culled from [[Shockwave (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Shockwave]]'s data-tracs, Megatron was able to rebuild Scavenger and the Constructicons in his efforts to rebuild his power base. As a side effect of Megatron's reconstruction work, the meek Scavenger was now the largest of the Constructicons. Scavenger and his team assembled aboard [[Astrotrain (G1)|Astrotrain]] to help Megatron lay claim to a source of [[Rarified Energon]]. {{storylink|Crossing Over, Part 2}}

Facing the Autobots in battle over the new energon, Scavenger and the Constructicons merged into their new [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]] form. Devastator was tougher than [[Grimlock (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Grimlock]] in battle, but also proved tougher than the ground beneath his feet. {{storylink|Crossing Over: Part 3}} Only the individual Constructicons emerged from the cave-in, and they proved the definition of "gestalt" by being incapable of beating Grimlock as five when they succeeded as one. Scavenger and his teammates dogpiled on Grimlock, but could not hold him back. {{storylink|Crossing Over: Part 5}} Where strength failed, Scavenger and [[Hightower (Classics)|Hightower]] tried guile. Scavenger struck down Grimlock in a surprise attack using his shovel, but the Dinobot commander still managed to overpower the Constructicons. {{storylink|Crossing Over: Part 6}}

===Marvel Storybooks continuity===
Under the guise of the [[Global Corporation]], Scavenger and his fellow Constructicons created sophisticated buildings all around the world. Within each building, however, was hidden a mechanism that would trap underground all within the structure. When the scheme was put into motion and the Autobots responded with an attack, Scavenger and his fellow Constructicons merged to become The Devastator. Though in this form, the Constructicons were able to overpower the Autobots, that changed when the Dinobots arrived. Scavenger and Mixmaster died when Swoop sliced through both of The Devastator's legs with his sword. {{storylink|Battle for Earth}}

As Devastator, Scavenger and the other Constructicons stumbled upon [[Sunstreaker (G1)|Sunstreaker]] admiring his reflection in the wilderness, and managed to capture the vain Autobot. The group revealed their individual components to their prisoner once he was safely locked up within Decepticon headquarters. They rejoined forces to combat an Autobot rescue party that attempted to storm Decepticon base, and captured [[Slag (G1)|Slag]], [[Sludge (G1)|Sludge]] and [[Sideswipe (G1)|Sideswipe]] as well, putting them in Sunstreaker's cell. The Constructicons were once more prompted to combine into Devastator to contemplate an Autobot peace offering; a life-sized statue of the gestalt! The peace offering turned out to be an Autobot ruse, and reinforcement burst forth from within the statue. The Autobots forced Devastator to break up into his component pieces by thoroughly dividing his attention, and so Scavenger joined the fight against the Autobots as an individual. The Decepticons ultimately lost the battle to the Autobots. {{storylink|The Autobots' Secret Weapon}}
{{note|In "The Autobots' Secret Weapon," Scavenger is never portrayed in any of the illustrations, nor is he called out by name in the text. However, he must be present for Devastator to be formed. Besides, the narration specifically refers to there being six Constructicons, despite only ever showing five.}}

Shockwave led the Constructicons in an attack on a human village, intent on razing the town and building a fuel plant in its place. The Constructicons, blindly loyal to Shockwave, obeyed all his orders as he dispensed them. As he worked, Scavenger boasted that the Autobots wouldn't learn about the Constructicons' handiwork until it would be too late. Little did the Decepticons know, they were being spied upon from orbit by the Autobot [[Cosmos (G1)|Cosmos]]. Cosmos relayed what was happening to his teammates, who rolled into action to put an end to the Decepticons' plot. Scavenger was attacked by [[Sludge (G1)|Sludge]], who made the Constructicon "go crunch" by shoving him down a pit. After the rest of the Decepticons had been made to join Scavenger in his pit, the Autobots pored quick-drying cement on them to hold them in place, keeping them out of further trouble. {{storylink|The Autobot Spy in the Sky}}

===Find Your Fate Junior===

====Autobot Alert!====
In one possible scenario, the Constructicons were responsible for building the Decepticons’ command centre in the evil robots’ latest plot of taking over the Earth. They also were responsible for stocking Astrotrain with explosives and weapons before the Decepticon shuttle launched into space to further sabotage Earth's satellites.

In a different possible scenario, the Constructicons joined Galvatron on his campaign to retrieve an ancient cybertite sphere containing the secret of an ancient Autobot power-booster. Discovering that the sphere was within a sunken ship off the California coast, the Constructicons merged into Devastator in order to retrieve it. {{storylink|Autobot Alert!}}
{{-}}

====The Invisibility Factor====
[[File:InvisibilityFactorGalvatronShockwaveandScavenger.jpg|thumb|]]
In one possible scenario, Scavenger accompanied Galvatron on a patrol in a desert at night. Upon spotting a spaceship that flickered in-and-out of sight, the patrol investigated. Finding the Autobots Kup and Hot Rod conversing with a woman at the ship's landing site, Scavenger and the others fired upon them, causing them to scramble away. Galvatron then ordered his troops to stay and scrutinize the spaceship instead of pursuing the Autobots.

If Hot Rod and Kup decided to attack immediately, the Autobots were easily defeated and destroyed by the Scavenger and the other Decepticons.

If Hot Rod and Kup silently followed the Decepticons back to their hide-out in a nearby canyon, they managed to tricked Scavenger and the others into thinking that they were being ambushed by a whole squadron of Autobots. Panicking, the Decepticons attempted to retaliate by firing in all directions.

If Hot Rod snuck down and successfully snatched the Invisibility Device from Shockwave, the Decepticons gave chase to the young Autobot. They were unable to catch him before Kup fired down onto the canyon's walls, causing it to collapse and burying the Decepticons under an avalanche of earth and rocks.

In an alternate scenario, Scavenger and the other Decepticons decided to take off into space in [[Sarah Sanders]]'s ship after acquiring the Invisibility Device. Whether the Decepticons succeeded in mastering the Invisibility Device and subsequently destroyed the Autobots, or were destroyed or defeated themselves depended on what choices the Autobots made from this point on.

In yet another alternate scenario, the Decepticons were to first to make contact with Sarah Sanders. While the rest of his squadron dragged her spacecraft away, Scavenger himself held Sarah captive.

If the Autobots decided to rescue Sarah immediately, Scavenger was at first ready to fight them off, but upon seeing how outnumbered he was, he dropped the woman, and cried for help while attempting to flee.

If the Autobots pursued Scavenger, the Decepticon still managed to rejoin his squadron of Decepticons. He quickly informed them of his situation, and pointed them towards his pursuers. In whichever scenario that followed, the Autobots managed to steal the Invisibility Device from the Decepticons, either dazzling Scavenger and the others with their headlights while Hot Rod took the device right out of their hands, or tricking most of the other Decepticons into leaving the spaceship behind while they pursued the young Autobot on a wild goose chase. Now greatly outnumbered, Scavenger quickly fell to the Autobots’ firepower. {{storylink|The Invisibility Factor}}

[[File:Scavenger war within.jpg|thumb|left]]
Nine million years ago, Scavenger was involved in the early days of the Decepticons, and specifically Megatron's plan to turn the planet into a cosmic dreadnought. He eagerly defended the project from Autobot invaders... right up until the point [[Ironhide (G1)|Ironhide]] shot him in the face. Without looking. {{storylink|The War Within issue 6|The War Within #6}} He and the other Constructicons later created the gestalt process, giving them the power to merge into Devastator. After the technology was widely distributed, however, the [[Crisis Intervention Accord]] came down banning the use of Special Teams as too dangerous. The Constructicons were the first to break the Accords during the Dark Ages, joining up with [[Ratbat (G1)|Ratbat]] and his [[Ultracon]]s. {{storylink|Escalation}} As Devastator, they attempted to seize control of the [[Tagan Heights]] from the [[Wreckers]], and also had an epic battle with [[Defensor (G1)|Defensor]]. Ultimately, Devastator was taken down by the [[Protectobot (G1)|Protectobots]] who overloaded him with electricity. This not only shut Devastator down, but also forced him to split into his component 'bots. {{storylink|Devastation (issue)|Devastation}}

Although they were apparently not part of the crew of the ''Nemesis'', Scavenger and the Constructicons did somehow wind up on Earth in the 1980s, fighting alongside Megatron and his crew against the Autobots. In 1998, Scavenger was captured and deactivated along with the rest of the Decepticons following [[Operation Liberation]]. Roughly a year later, after the explosion of the ''[[Ark II]]'', Scavenger's body was recovered by the mercenary known as [[Lazarus]], who attempted to reprogram many of the Transformers into controllable soldiers. Once Megatron overcame this programming, however, he freed his fellow Decepticons and they began to terrorize the Earth once more. Scavenger and the Constructicons attacked a city in [[California]] shortly after being freed, using their Devastator form to cause horrendous amounts of property damage. {{storylink|Prime Directive issue 5|Prime Directive #5}} It took some daredevil maneuvering by Optimus Prime himself to bring them down. {{storylink|Prime Directive issue 6|Prime Directive #6}}

''Scavenger and the Constructicons were later reactivated by Starscream, during a time when Megatron was missing and Decepticon leadership was changing hands. They took up residence in [[Las Vegas]], converting the city for Decepticon use. Needless to say there was some resistance, and a small army of humans and Autobots led by [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]] soon invaded the territory. Scavenger did not personally engage in battle, although he may have been responsible for pulling four of his deactivated teammates to safety while [[Long Haul (G1)|Long Haul]] distracted the Autobots. {{storylink|Transformers: Hardwired|Hardwired}}''

''Megatron eventually returned to Earth, but Scavenger 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 [[Keeper (species)|Keepers]] when those aliens took over Las Vegas and turned Starscream into their puppet. Trapped behind an impenetrable force dome, Scavenger 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, Bonecrusher dug a tunnel out beneath the force field and Scavenger excavated it, 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|Transformers: Annihilation|Annihilation}}''

''The nuclear blast left Devastator fused into his singular [[robot mode]], leaving him unable to split back into Scavenger 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|Transformers: Fusion|Fusion}}''

The pieces of Scavenger and the Constructicons fell under the control of [[Earth Defense Command]], and were held in their [[Roswell]] facility for study. {{storylink|Generation 1 issue 0|Generation 1 #0}}

[[Spinister (G1)#Kre-O cartoon|Spinister]] whistled up the four Constructicons to form Devastator, to help with the robbery of the [[Autobot City Bank]]. {{storylink|Quest for Energon, Part 1}} As the Decepticons worked to make [[Megatron (Kre-O)|Megatron]] a grilled cheese sandwich, Scavenger carried energon around. He and the other Constructicons were later splattered with molten cheese and tied up in a net by the Autobots. {{storylink|Quest for Energon, Part 2}}

When Mixmaster received a yellow card during a soccer game, Scavenger and the rest of the team merged to form Devastator, so the combiner could block [[Bumblebee (Kre-O)|Bumblebee]]'s penalty kick. {{storylink|Ultimate Defender}}

===''Kre-O'' online comic===
Scavenger and his fellow Constructicons infiltrated the construction site of the Autobot base and promptly started wrecking it and stealing energy blocks. Once the ruse was up they combined into Devastator to menace the Autobots, but were felled when [[Optimus Prime (Kre-O)|Optimus Prime]] led a tickle attack on the underside of the giant's foot. The Constructicons were subsequently subjected to "special training" by Megatron, who had them tied up and tickled repeatedly to rid them of their weakness. {{storylink|A New Menace! The Giant Soldier Devastator Appears!}} Scavenger was later responsible for unearthing the legendary [[Red Bucket]] for [[Bludgeon (G1)#Kre-O online manga|Bludgeon]]. {{storylink|Treasure Competition!

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)/Marvel Comics continuity|Bumblebee]]'s help, the mind-controlled Transformers were awakened just as [[Doctor Mindbender]] expressed surprise at the Constructicons' meticulousness. Scavenger kindly offered to "meticulously" tear the doctor to pieces. {{storylink|G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers issue 3|G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers #3}}

He ultimately didn't get to have any fun with maiming, as Soundwave arrived and took Mindbender for his own purposes before ordering the Constructicons to defend the [[SPS Satellite]] controls from the Autobots and [[G.I. Joe (team)|G.I. Joes]] that were assaulting [[Cobra Island]]. {{storylink|G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers issue 4|G.I.

During a particularly violent battle between the Autobots and the Decepticons, Scavenger watched on in horror as [[Beast (G1)|The Beast]], the Dinobots’ gestalt form, dispatched Predaking in one sword strike.

After getting laid off due to the [[Senate]] "reforms" being championed by [[Ratbat (G1)|Ratbat]], Scavenger and the other Constructicons sought out new work—with [[Megatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Megatron]]. The secrecy necessary for operating the underground [[Gladiatorial combat|gladiator sports]] of [[Kaon (polity)|Kaon]] meant that the combat arena needed to be mobile. As a result, the Constructicons were given the unique and challenging job of building a new arena from scratch before every battle, using only the scrap and other materials on-site. {{storylink|Megatron Origin issue 2|Megatron Origin #2}} They also worked with repairing Megatron and other injured gladiators after their battles. {{storylink|Megatron Origin issue 3|Megatron Origin #3}}

The Constructicons witnessed [[Optimus Prime (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Optimus Prime]] recruit an army of Autobots to overthrow the Decepticon tyranny of Cybertron. {{storylink|Broadcast}} As the war began in earnest between the Autobots and Decepticons, the Constructicons remained loyal followers of Megatron. At one point they were stationed on [[Varas Centralus]] alongside [[Swindle (G1)|Swindle]] and [[Sky-Byte (RID)|Sky-Byte]], where they committed some atrocity that was enough to cause Sky-Byte to abandon the Decepticon cause. {{storylink|A Better Tomorrow}}

[[File:AHM1 Scavenger.jpg|thumb|upright=0.8|left]]
In modern times, Scavenger and the Constructicons came to Earth for Megatron's major offensive against the planet. Using the newly acquired gestalt technology, they merged into [[Devastator (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Devastator]] and easily swept aside the Autobot forces, leaving Earth ripe for conquest. {{storylink|All Hail Megatron issue 7|All Hail Megatron #7}} The Constructicons were involved in the opening strike on [[New York City]], bringing down buildings and causing massive civilian casualties. {{storylink|All Hail Megatron issue 1|All Hail Megatron #1}} Later, they formed Devastator and destroyed all the underground tunnels leading in and out of the city, cutting it off from the outside world. {{storylink|All Hail Megatron issue 2|All Hail Megatron #2}}

[[File:Bumblebee2 Scavenger attacks Bumblebee.jpg|thumb|Bumblebee just failed the same [[:File:Remorse democracy.jpg|leadership test]] Scavenger gave to [[Hot Shot (Armada)|Hot Shot]].]]
Scavenger joined [[Starscream (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Starscream]]'s side during the [[Seeker (body-type)|Seeker]]'s revolution, combining with the other Constructicons to form Devastator and attacking Megatron. Megatron put up a good fight, but was eventually defeated and only survived due to the arrival of human jets from the [[European Union]]. {{storylink|All Hail Megatron issue 10|All Hail Megatron #10}} After spending some time swiping at the attacking planes, Devastator was attacked by [[Omega Supreme (G1)|Omega Supreme]] {{storylink|All Hail Megatron issue 11|All Hail Megatron #11}}, who defeated him by shooting him through the chest. {{storylink|All Hail Megatron issue 12|All Hail Megatron #12}}

Following the Decepticons' defeat, Scavenger was separated from the other Constructicons and went on the run from [[Skywatch]]. Two years later, after he had successfully avoided capture for a while, the humans decided to focus on hunting down [[Blurr (G1)|Blurr]] instead. Apparently, not even Skywatch considered Scavenger particularly important. {{storylink|The Hanging Sword}} In an attempt to escape from Skywatch, Scavenger painted himself in less conspicuous colors and spent a week trying to sneak aboard a cargo ship going out of the country. However, he was found by [[Bumblebee (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Bumblebee]], who wanted the Autobots and Decepticons to work together in order to prove to the humans that they were equals. This enraged Scavenger, who strictly considered the "meat bags" lesser beings to be ruled over, and lashed out at Bumblebee with his shovel. As the Autobot fled, Scavenger taunted him and went back into hiding. {{storylink|The Impossible Knot}}

[[File:Devisive Blurr finds Constructicons and Bombshell.jpg|thumb|left]]
After the war ended, Scavenger worked for the Autobots on Cybertron until he spotted [[Bombshell (G1)|Bombshell]] being chased by the Autobots. Coming to Bombshell's defense, the Constructicons beat up Blurr and fought with [[Arcee (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Arcee]] until [[Prowl (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Prowl]] showed up, threatening to detonate their [[Inhibitor/deterrence chip|I/D chips]]. They just taunted him since [[Ratbat (G1)|Ratbat]] had disabled their chips, but Prowl used a secret passcode to override the disabling and detonate them anyway, seemingly killing all the Constructicons. {{storylink|Devisive}} In fact, the Autobot had fallen under Bombshell's mind-control, allowing the Insecticon to fake the Constructicons' deaths and hide them away for the purpose of perfecting Devastator. {{storylink|The Verge}} Once Megatron returned from a long absence, Scavenger combined with his fellows into the new Devastator—with Prowl serving as the head—who was then deployed to conquer [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]]. {{storylink|Before the Dawn}} Devastator was taken apart when Prowl fought back and rejected the combiner, which would have allowed Megatron himself to take his place had the Decepticon leader not been defeated in the process of combining. {{storylink|Heavy Is the Head}}

The Decepticons were exiled from Iacon following their defeat, but Scavenger and the Constructicons, impressed by the terrible things they'd seen in Prowl's mind, left the others to join their new idol in the similarly exiled Autobot forces. After a brief battle with the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]], they were allowed to stay at the Autobot camp, where they promptly picked a fight with Arcee before the Dinobots calmed them down with camaraderie and energon. {{storylink|Second Exodus}} They were caught in the [[Necrotitan]]'s "death wave", but were healed from its effects when the Titan was brought down by [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]]. {{storylink|Finis Temporis: Dark Cybertron Chapter 9|Finis Temporis}} As the Transformers got together to celebrate the defeat of the Necrotitan, Scavenger and his teammates only had praise for Prowl, much to his discomfort. {{storylink|The Becoming: Dark Cybertron Chapter 10|The Becoming}} As Cybertron was attacked by 70 billion [[Ammonite]]s sent by [[Shockwave (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Shockwave]], the Constructicons followed Prowl into battle and convinced him to form Devastator again for the sake of defeating [[Monstructor (G1)|Monstructor]]. {{storylink|Black Planet: Dark Cybertron Chapter 11|Black Planet}}

Convinced that the Constructicons were a useful resource, Prowl made them his own personal strike force and took them with him on a mission to Earth. On arrival they saved the ''[[Ark-7]]'' from burrowing human drone-missiles, then formed Devastator to fight [[Galvatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Galvatron]]'s Decepticons. {{storylink|Earthfall Part 2: Detonation Boulevard|Detonation Boulevard}} When the Autobots located where [[Earth Defense Command]] was holding [[Alpha Trion]], Prowl had Scavenger become a double agent and leak the information to the Decepticons. {{storylink|Earthfall Part 3: The Mind Bomb|The Mind Bomb}} He and the Constructicons subsequently participated in the attack on the EDC base, using stealth paint to sneak into the battle zone before forming Devastator and destroying the base. {{storylink|Earthfall Part 5: I Dream of Wires|I Dream of Wires}} Back aboard the ''Ark-7'', Prowl and the Constructicons listened in on Optimus Prime's conversation with Alpha Trion. {{storylink|The Crucible}}

When the Autobots began hunting for the [[Enigma of Combination]], Prowl and the Constructicons went in serach of Spike Witwicky. {{storylink|Onyx Interface Part One: Signals, Calls, and Marches|Signals, Calls, and Marches}} Their search took them to [[Tokyo]], where they secured their asset but ran afoul of Galvatron. {{storylink|Onyx Interface Part Two: Vs.|Vs.}} Feigning a truce with their mutual nemesis, the team stormed the [[Onyx]] facility by forming Devastator. Devastator ultimately went berserk due to his loathing of Spike and ruined the mission, allowing [[Scoop (G1)|Scoop]] to abscond with the Enigma. The team was forced to retreat to the ''Ark-7''. {{storylink|The Onyx Interface Conclusion: The Obliterati|The Obliterati}}

After Prowl learned that Optimus Prime had helped Starscream form a permanent [[Council of Worlds|alliance]] with [[Caminus (planet)|Caminus]], the team hijacked the ship's new spacebridge to travel to Cybertron {{storylink|The Possible Light}}, where they formed Devastator. Superion and Defensor ultimately brought down Devastator, and the Constructicons were sent to a secret prison - Starscream wasn't done with them yet. {{storylink|Mistakes and Mayhem}} Seeking a new edge, Starscream drafted [[Scoop (G1)|Scoop]] into the team, knowing that Scoop's fanaticism would force Devastator to obey his orders. {{storylink|You, Me, and the Universe}} Ultimately, however, Devastator wound up losing control. After [[Optimus Maximus (G1)|Optimus Maximus]] and his fellow combiners felled the giant, the Constructicons went back to jail. {{storylink|All That Remains}}

Although the individual Constructicons were still considered criminals, Starscream made allowances for releasing his own loyal combiner when necessary. The Constructicons reformed Devastator at Starscream's command to thwart a group of Decepticons commandeering the space bridge, {{storylink|All Hail Optimus Part 1: Once Upon a Time on Earth|Once Upon a Time on Earth}} and to siege the colony ship [[Vigilem|Carcer]] when [[Elita One (G1)|Elita One]] refused to transform her Titan in defense of Cybertron from [[Sentinel Prime (G1)|Sentinel Prime]]'s [[zombie]] fleet. {{storylink|Desperate Measures (Till All Are One)|Desperate Measures}}

Following the impeachment and arrest of Starscream, the Constructicons received pardons, and later watched from a nearby rooftop as [[Shockwave (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Onyx Prime]] and [[Liege Maximo]] arrived on Cybertron and joined Optimus and his retinue for a meeting in the [[Spire]]. Though the other Constructicons initially laughed off off Scoop's renewed faith in his "Chosen One," who had seemingly foreseen this series of events, {{storylink|The Falling, Chapter 2: Another Mine|Another Mine}} the team wound up forming Devastator to break an indignant Starscream out of prison. {{storylink|The Falling, Chapter 3: The Ground|The Ground}}

With Onyx Prime unmasked as none other than [[Shockwave (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Shockwave]], the Constructicons wound up battling against [[Victorion]] on Starscream's orders. {{storylink|The Falling, Chapter 4: The Hallowing|The Hallowing}} Though they were initially able to withstand her gravity powers, {{storylink|The Falling, Chapter 5: Endless Forever|Endless Forever}} this was soon revealed to be the work of Liege Maximo, using supplies of [[Ore-4]] to buffer them against Victorion's attacks. When [[Arcee (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Arcee]] destroyed this ore, Victorion was able to unleash a devastating gravitational onslaught which fatally crushed Scavenger and the other Constructicons. {{storylink|The Falling, Chapter 6: Unforgivable|Unforgivable}}

Scavenger, Long Haul and Scrapper all battled Megatron in the ruins of an old coliseum, but he easily overpowered them all. Upon overhearing Windblade say that Starscream possessed the [[Enigma of Combination]], Long Haul signaled a plan to Scavenger and the other Constructicons, and they later formed Devastator in an attempt to take the Enigma for themselves. {{storylink|Unforgotten}} In the aftermath of the [[Combiner Wars (event)|Combiner Wars]], Scavenger was among those assisting with the reconstruction efforts. {{storylink|Aftermath and Rebirth}} He died when [[Hot Rod (G1)|Rodimus Cron]] shot him off of Devastator. {{storylink|Volcanicus (episode)|Volcanicus}}

Half of the original Constructicon team survived the Great War, including Skavenger. [[Hot Rod (G1)|Hot Rod]] helped reform the team in the days after the [[Armistice]], creating a two-thirds Autobot roster and convincing the Constructicons to undergo [[Micromaster]] downsizing, losing social hierarchy among the [[Builder of Cybertron|Builder]]s but retaining their mobility in the energon-depleted era. {{storylink|Micro-Aggressions}} {{storylink|Cultural Appropriation}}

During the [[Grand Uprising]], Skavenger and the Constructicons served the Builders against the [[Resistance (BWU)|Resistance]]. They ran a prisoner transport through [[Proximax]] to [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]] when they were attacked by Resistance fighters. The prisoner, [[Snapper]], escaped, but Skavenger's team found themselves in a prolonged battle with the Resistance which lasted over a day. They retreated to the [[Sights & Sounds]] casino for defense. Meanwhile, one of their members—[[Buckethead]]—had formed an alliance with Snapper and a motley crew of other bots to deal with the alien threat of the [[Monster GoBot|Antares Eight]]. Buckethead and [[Rampage (BW)|Rampage]] of the Resistance eventually reached both sides and got them to join forces against the Renegade invaders.

At the trans-hyperwave caster the Renegades seized, Skavenger and the Constructicons joined Buckethead's "[[Ex-Bot (BWU)|Ex-Bot]]s" in attacking the invaders. The Constructicons formed Devastator, fighting the Monster Renegade combiner [[Monsterous]]. After the fight, all Cybertronians retired to Sights & Sounds for a summit. The Ex-Bots ultimately convinced Skavenger and the Constructicons to leave the Builders and act as part of an independent faction to protect the innocents of Proximax and defend the city from the horrors of war. {{storylink|Cultural Appropriation}}

A year later, the Ex-Bots prevented [[Tarantulas (BW)|Tarantulas]] from using a [[Robosmasher|Robo-Smasher]] to brainwash all the people of Proximax. They also recovered the Autobot-turned-Maximal [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]] from his control. As the [[Vehicon Apocalypse]] began, the Ex-Bots chose to get involved with the other armies of the [[Proto-former|proto-races]]. Skavenger and the Constructicons salvaged a lobotomized [[Sweep (G1)|Sweep]] and retrofitted and detailed it as the team's new [[Ex-Jet]].

On the march to [[Nova Cronum]], the Constructicons formed Devastator to wade through the hordes of [[Vehicon (BM)|Vehicon]]s. At the [[Grand Mal]] itself, Devastator joined forces with the Maximal combiner [[Magnaboss (BW)|Magnaboss]]. Their combined assault weakened the Grand Mal's force field enough for [[Lord Imperious Delirious]] to take note of them, and fire a massive optic ray at the combiners. Devastator pushed Magnaboss out of the way. Magnaboss lost an arm, a fifth of his gestalt mind, but Devastator suffered worse. Half his components were damaged beyond repair, and the Builder combiner was out for the rest of the fight.

Although the war was won, and peace finally came to Cybertron, the Constructicons were in mourning. With the death of [[Hightower (RID)|Hightower]], Long Haul, and Bone Crusher, Skavenger was the last survivor of the original team. {{storylink|Derailment}}

Time marched on. The Constructicons emerged as heroes of the Vehicon Apocalypse, and so it was decided to hold auditions to fill the gaps in their roster. [[Rubbish's Scrapyard]] in [[Hexima]] became the Constructicon training grounds as Skavenger, Buckethead, and [[Quickmix (G1)|Quickmix]] supervised the new potential recruits. Eventually, [[Wideload (G1)|Wideload]], [[Hauler|Road Hauler]], and [[Steam Hammer]] were chosen. Devastator, champion of the Builders, would live again! {{storylink|The Inexorable March}}

===2019 IDW continuity===
{{first|[[Constructicons Rising, Part 1|''Galaxies'' #1]]}}

Scavenger was forged at or around the end of the War of the Threefold Spark. An era of rebuilding and renewal, Scavenger came together with five other newly forged 'bots to form the Constructicons and help shape the Cybertron to come. They were recruited by the visionary architect [[Termagax]] to help build in the ruins of [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]]. Scavenger was incredibly eager to please, quickly looking for approval from Termagax and his team. They promptly clashed with Termagax's conservative second-in-command [[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack]]—for while Wheeljack sought to merely ''rebuild'' Iacon, Termagax saw the potential for something bigger and better to take its place. While excavating in [[Rivets Field]], Scavenger detected an object of immense power trapped beneath the surface. The team had inadvertently discovered the [[Enigma of Combination]]. Urged on by Termagax, Scavenger and his team agreed to expose themselves to the energies of the artifact, transforming themselves into a new combiner: raw power which Termagax hoped to harness and reshape into the ultimate building tool. {{storylink|Constructicons Rising, Part 1}}

Despite this new strength and power, Scavenger and his team struggled to master their combination, fighting against a seventh, destructive personality that surfaced whenever the team combined... and whose love of indiscriminate destruction jeopardized their reconstruction efforts. Finally, however, Termagax encouraged the team to work ''with'' this anger, rather than against it, and harness the powerful emotion to unite them in their shared purpose of rebuilding Iacon. Although the team would eventually complete their goal of turning the ravaged cityscape into a beautiful metropolis, they would not enjoy the fruits of their labor for long—Wheeljack brought his concerns to the attention of [[Nominus Prime]], and the Prime arranged matters so that the team would be reassigned to the distant colony of [[Mayalx]] to oversee the construction of a new [[energon]] refinery. {{storylink|Constructicons Rising, Part 3}} There, the Constructicons labored for many years, deliberately kept under-fueled and tired so they couldn't combine, while they grew increasingly resentful of the world that had abandoned them while reminiscing about their glory days. {{storylink|Constructicons Rising, Part 1}}

With their future on Cybertron uncertain, Scrapper eventually came to believe that the team's future lay elsewhere and began training his teammates in the ways of combat, holding regular sparring sessions in an improvised gladiatorial arena. Long Haul and Scavenger struggled to adjust to being warriors, mixing with Scrapper's patient advice and Bonecrusher's brutality in the ring. During one particular session, the team was interrupted by the [[Insecticon (G1)|Insecticon]] [[Bombshell (G1)|Bombshell]], who, after a brief misunderstanding, told them ''his'' story: like the Constructicons, Nominus Prime had ''also'' banished the Insecticons for fear of their unique matter-eating abilities. Knowing that the team could be of use to [[The Rise]], Bombshell manipulated the team into unknowingly aiding the cause, encouraging them to recapture their glory days. {{storylink|Constructicons Rising, Part 2}}

After some deliberation, the six builders agreed to help the Insecticons, and after filling up on Bombshell's provided [[energon cube]]s the team combined for the first time since their banishment—but instead of uniting based on their shared urge to create, the Constructicons combined to destroy Mayalx and everything it represented to them, a spiteful, destructive rampage that ended with every 'bot in the colony slaughtered and the statue of Nominus Prime toppled. Unaware that the Insecticons had deliberately goaded them into such wanton slaughter so that the energon they processed from the many remains could be secretly shipped back to Cybertron to fuel the rise, Scrapper told his team that, for the first time in their lives, they were finally free to do and build whatever they wanted. {{storylink|Constructicons Rising, Part 4}}

Eventually, Shockwave called the Constructicons back to Cybertron and the Rise. When they arrived, however, Shockwave's former superior [[Exarchon]] had laid claim to the Rise and their bases. The Threefold Spark was eager to take a new body as powerful as Devastator, and tried to usurp the combiner. Together, Scavenger and the Constructicons were strong enough to prevent Exarchon from possessing their collective spark or sparks, though the effort forced them apart and left them out of action. {{storylink|War's End Part Four}} With Exarchon soon destroyed, the Rise were fully absorbed into the Decepticons, and Shockwave provided the Constructicons to [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]]'s cause. Scavenger and the others were happy to be home, and to be wanted as Devastator. They saw themselves as heroes destined to end the war, and were happy to oppose the legacy of Nominus Prime. {{storylink|Transformers: Fate of Cybertron|Fate of Cybertron}}

===Energon Universe===
Scavenger and the other Constructicons were revived by [[Starscream (G1)#Energon Universe|Starscream]] to destroy the Autobots attempting to retake the [[Ark (G1)#Energon Universe|Ark]] from Decepticon control, Scavenger in particular chopping off [[Ratchet (G1)#Energon Universe|Ratchet]]'s leg with his scoop in excavator mode. Starscream then commanded them to merge into [[Devastator (G1)#Energon Universe|Devastator]].{{storylink|Transformers (2023) issue 5|Transformers #5}}

Devastator was eventually defeated by [[Optimus Prime (G1)#Energon Universe|Optimus Prime]], and separated into his individual components. Scavenger then retreated with the Decepticons. {{storylink|Transformers (2023) issue 6|Transformers #6}} Scavenger, along with the other Constructicons, was present for the fight between [[Starscream (G1)#Energon Universe|Starscream]] and [[Soundwave (G1)#Energon Universe|Soundwave]] over leadership of the Decepticons. He and the other Decepticons cheered Soundwave's name to honor him after he won. {{storylink|Transformers (2023) issue 7|Transformers #7}}

Megatron tolerates Scavenger for one reason: on rare occasions, he unearths something of real importance. Most of the time, however, his obsessive excavation yields little of practical value, doing nothing to help his already fragile self-esteem. Driven by a manic need to prove himself, he sees recycle potential in every scrap of junk he encounters, and will do anything it takes to obtain it, in the hopes that it'll be something of use. {{storylink|Source:Transformers:_Earth_Wars/2016#Scavenger|Scavenger bio}}

He combined to form [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]] to destroy Autobots bases. He is very useful in his arm mode, seeing as it shoots out a GIANT LASER.

==Notes==
* The [[The Transformers (cartoon)|original ''The Transformers'' cartoon]] [[production bible|series bible]] features two descriptions of Scavenger, one typed with the name "Scavenger" and one with "'''Scrounge'''". Oddly, "Scavenger" is the one that's crossed out by hand and relabeled "Scrounge".<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20071230210811/http://www.allspark.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=41003 Post by Jim S on the Allspark Forums, 2007/12/25 (via the Internet Archive)]</ref> This would make it onscreen once, when Scrapper referred to him as "Scrounge" in their introductory episode. Writer [[Bob Budiansky]] would apparently later reuse the name for the comic-only character [[Scrounge (G1)|Scrounge]].
* Scavenger's [[character model]]s have a couple of discrepancies due to poor toy references:<ref>[https://drive.google.com/file/d/1OSbNSWxwEihhwWRKWQVq-qD773U6fK3s/view 1985 Hasbro briefing binder scans]</ref>
** The first is the rear view of his vehicle mode. The toy reference photos used to design the model had his robot head left flipped out, thus resulting in a green block protruding from the rear of his vehicle mode animation model.
** The second is his gun. The toy references had [[Hook (G1)|Hook]]'s gun in the toy's hand, thus leading to Scavenger's animation model having a gun based on Hook's toy gun. Additionally, Hook's reference photos ''also'' used this gun, meaning that both characters' animation models have different takes on Hook's gun, while Scavenger's gun design is left unused due to it not being present in any reference photos. Scavenger doesn't mind though; his pistol kills in [[Prowl (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|ONE SHOT]].
* On the subject of the animated movie, Don Messick, who did the voice for both Scavenger and the Autobot Gears, was credited for the wrong character in the movie. Gears did appear near the beginning of the film sitting next to Ironhide on Moon Base I, but Gears himself did not speak, yet Messick was still credited for voicing the character. However, Scavenger DOES have a line in the movie, when he encounters Daniel on the Planet of Junk. Yet, he was not credited as Scavenger.

[[File:TFU Scrapper.jpg|upright=1.5|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. He's a front end loader

Scrapper combines with his fellow Constructicons to form [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]].

[[File:Scrapperg1cartoon.jpg|left|upright=0.85|thumb|My continuity makes me dizzy.]]
Scrapper, who was evil, helped build [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Megatron]]. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 4}} Later, Megatron used the [[Robosmasher|Robo-Smasher]] to make Scrapper, who was good, evil. {{storylink|The Secret of Omega Supreme (episode)|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]], 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)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]] into a [[Alligaticon|robotic alligator]]. {{storylink|City of Steel (episode)|City of Steel}}

[[File:MasterBuilders Scrapper Grapple plans.jpg|thumb|"Truly you are a master of structural engineering, Grapple. I could never hold up a map with a stump for a hand."]]
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 disk]] snuck onto him by [[Sunstreaker (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Sunstreaker]], allowing the Autobots to control the Constructicons when merged into [[Devastator (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Devastator]]. The combiner fought his fellow Decepticons for a while before the disks 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}}

The Constructicons built Megatron a [[transfixatron]]. When it was finished, Scrapper reported as such to Megatron and was praised for his efforts. After the successful test-run, Megatron commanded the Constructicons to begin building a second device. After the device—a huge car crusher—was completed, Megatron brought the Autobots, trapped in their vehicle modes by the transfixatron. Megatron commanded Scrapper and Long Haul to make [[Ironhide (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Ironhide]] their first victim. When the other Autobots tried to rally, the Constructicons stopped them, with Scrapper fending off [[Sideswipe (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Sideswipe]] and [[Sunstreaker (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Sunstreaker]]. Scrapper and Long Haul then pushed Ironhide into the claw of the crusher and watched as he was carried into it. When the Autobots were freed from their alt modes, the Constructicons merged into Devastator and began to wipe the floor with them. However, Devastator's robot mode was "canceled out" by their own transfixatron. {{storylink|The Autobot Run}}

At one point, Scrapper convinced [[Hoist (G1)|Hoist]] and [[Grapple (G1)|Grapple]] that the Constructicons wanted to aid the two Autobots in a construction project to build a [[Solar Power 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 (episode)|The Master Builders}}

When the Autobots were forced to leave Earth after Megatron made them look like villains, Scrapper participated in the "[[Decepticon Day]]" parade. He was then dumpstered by the Autobots when they returned. {{storylink|Megatron's Master Plan, Part 2}}

[[File:MakeTracks Scrapper sword.jpg|left|thumb|"I dub thee Drone #24601. Now rise up and go forth in Megatron's name!"]]
Later, when the other Decepticons began to suffer from [[Cybertonium]] degeneration, Scrapper and the Constructicons worked fine, having been built on Earth. They delivered a shipment of the mineral via the [[space bridge]], and failed to stop [[Spike Witwicky (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Spike Witwicky]] and [[Carly (G1)|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 scorpion]]. {{storylink|The Secret of Omega Supreme (episode)|The Secret of Omega Supreme}}

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)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|of]] [[Bluestreak (G1)|damaged]] [[Tracks (G1)|Autobots]] to make a throne for himself... nasty! {{storylink|Triple Takeover}} Scrapper then helped make an [[energy transductor]] that would've worked if not for that [[Astoria Carlton-Ritz|human woman]]. {{storylink|The Girl Who Loved Powerglide}}

When Megatron instructed Scavenger to dig for the [[Pearl of Bahoudin]], Scrapper was standing next to him. He later began to remove the engine in [[Auggie Cahnay (G1)|Auggie Cahnay]]'s car before being blasted away. Scrapper then participated in the subsequent battle. When the Pearl was exposed to the atmosphere, Scrapper and the Decepticons fled. {{storylink|Trans-Europe Express}} Scrapper listened to Megatron's rant about Starscream, and watched as the [[Stunticon (G1)|Stunticons]] refused the call to arms. When the Decepticons battled Starscream and the [[Combaticon (G1)|Combaticons]], Scrapper merged into Devastator, only for the Combaticons to merge into [[Bruticus (G1)|Bruticus]] and sorely kick their behinds. {{storylink|Starscream's Brigade}} The Constructicon's next project was a super-powerful cannon. After it was completed, the Constructicons flew off, missing the fight between two Menasors. {{storylink|Masquerade}}

[[File:TFTM Soundwave insults Constructicons.jpg|thumb|]]
Scrapper and Constructicons were part of the Decepticon forces during the [[Battle of Autobot City|great battle]] of [[Autobot City (G1)|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]]s. [[Soundwave (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|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)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|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}}
{{note|Scrapper’s involvement in these events, or events mostly similar, were also chronicled in the comic mini-series "[[Transformers: The Animated Movie]]."}}

[[File:FightorFlee Constructicon vehicle.jpg|left|thumb|"This vehicle is so cool, it makes me feel like a [[Action Master|Master of Action]]!" "[[Fantastic Four|Say that again...]]"]]
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. While living on [[Chaar]], Scrapper tussled with the other Constructicons for the measly Energon Astrotrain retrieved. When they noticed Astrotrain was reaching for a cube, they assembled into Devastator and kicked him away, before being disassembled by Menasor. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 1}} When the [[Quintesson]]s made them an offer—destroy the Autobots for free Energon forever, Scrapper fell in with them. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 3}} They later lent 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}} Scrapper watched Trypticon destroy [[Ark (G1)|Autobot Headquarters]], denying Mixmaster's request to join, correctly stating it wouldn't be necessary. Later, at [[Autobot City (G1)|Autobot City]], Scrapper spotted [[Sky Lynx (G1)|Sky Lynx]] and opened fire. He then tried to stop [[Wheelie (G1)|Wheelie]] from delivering the [[Transformation cog (biology)|transformation cog]], but failed. When Galvatron activated the [[large switch]], Scrapper was frozen mid-shot, but was restored when the switch was destroyed. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 5}} 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 (episode)|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}}

=====Scramble City=====
When the Decepticons learned of the Scramble City project being secretly assembled by the Autobots, Megatron sent his henchmen to interfere with their work. The Constructicons joined Starscream and his flying partners in an attack on the Autobots. Optimus Prime and a task force of Autobots held their position until Scrapper and the Constructicons inevitably joined forces into Devastator. The Aerialbots gave Devastator a good whippin', though, and the Decepticons retreated. {{storylink|Scramble City: Mobilization}}

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 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. After all was said and done, the Autobots put Scrapper and the rest of the Constructicons to work, restoring the island to its former natural splendor. {{storylink|Fight!

In the year [[2010]], Scrapper participated in a Decepticon attack on the planet Feminia. He and his team merged into Devastator in order to battle alongside Bruticus and Menasor against their Autobot counterparts Superion, Defensor and Omega Supreme. The fight was fairly evenly matched until Galvatron called up his ace-in-the-hole, [[Predaking (G1)|Predaking]], whose power was unmatched by any of the Autobots... except for the [[Omnibot (G1)|Omnibots]], who essentially tied Predaking's shoelaces together until he fell over, straight into Devastator and his chums, sending them all toppling to the ground and knocking them to bits. {{storylink|The Story of Super Robot Lifeforms: The Transformers issue 5|The Story of Super Robot Lifeforms: The Transformers #5}}

{{Wingsnote}}
Nine million years ago, Scrapper was a member of the construction team that built [[Crystal City]]. It was during this project that he and his fellow Constructicons were introduced to [[Omega Supreme (G1)|Omega Supreme]]. {{storylink|Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club issue 42|Hauler's ''Wings of Honor'' profile}} The Constructicons rose to prominence thanks to their immense architectural skills, and formed their own faction under the leadership of Hook. They were forced to align themselves with the Decepticons in order to maintain access to Kaon's smelting pools, which granted him access to the raw building material they needed to continue their work. Unhappy with this arrangement, seven renegade Constructicons went underground, building Megatron in an attempt to take power for themselves. Unfortunately for them, Megatron turned on them and formed his own group of Decepticons, eventually brainwashing Scrapper and the others into his service with the Robo-Smasher. {{storylink|Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club issue 42|Devastator's ''Wings of Honor'' profile}} Among their first acts as Decepticons, the Constructicons destroyed Crystal City. {{storylink|Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club issue 42|Hauler's ''Wings of Honor'' profile}}

Scrapper was part of [[Hook (G1)|Hook]]'s Constructicon team when it was augmented with [[Deathsaurus (G1)|Deathsaurus]]'s [[Combiner]] technology and turned into [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]]. {{storylink|Battle Lines, Part 5}} During the third Cybertronian war, the Constructicons were ambushed at [[Elevation Recostalus]] by a group of Autobots including [[Hauler]] and [[Erector (G1)|Erector]], who disabled them before they could form Devastator. The group remained offline until 1984, when Megatron rebuilt them on Earth and appointed Scrapper as leader in Hook's place. {{storylink|Transformers I.Q.#issue 45|Transformers I.Q. last issue review}}

During the [[Battle of Autobot City]], Devastator was blasted apart by [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Ultra Magnus]]'s team. Scrapper claimed the Autobots had merely gotten lucky, and he and the other Constructicons began pursuing them, gunning down [[Red Alert (G1)|Red Alert]] in the process. {{storylink|A Flash Forward}}

====Ask Vector Prime====
In an amalgamated universe engineered by [[Gong (GoBots)|Gong]] and [[Sideways (AVP)|Sideways]], the Constructicons participated in the siege of [[Guardian (GoBots)|Guardian]] City by forming Devastator. {{storylink|Echoes and Fragments}}

The Scrapper of "OG001 Spacetime" was ordered by [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Megatron]] to combine with his fellow Constructicons into Devastator to face off against the [[Megatron (Cloud)|Megatron]] of [[Cloud World]]. The foreign Decepticon easily defeated the combiner, sending his components fleeing in terror. {{storylink|Rampage (Cloud)|Rampage}}

[[File:Constructiconsbornmarvel.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb|Scrapper is the green and purple one.]]
Early in the Transformers' war on [[Earth]], [[Shockwave (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|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]]. After tracking the boy down to a demolition derby, and merging into Devastator to fend off the Autobots they found there, the Constructicons' attack was suddenly called off. While Devastator battled, [[Soundwave (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Soundwave]] had discovered that Buster held the rest of the Creation Matrix in his head, and considered this too great a revelation to proceed as initially planned.'' {{storylink|Devastation Derby!}}

After [[Megatron (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Megatron]]'s retaking of Decepticon command, Scrapper and the other Constructicons were charged with building perimeter defences around [[Wyoming base|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; data on the Constructicons' combining process. {{storylink|Command Performances!}}

[[File:Snarl scrapper soundwave in the national interest.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.3|Snarl beat him so hard, he knocked the green off of him.]]
''Megatron, Soundwave, Scrapper and the Constructicons went to track down [[Joy Meadows]] after seeing her on ''[[Between the Lines]]'' threatening to expose the truth of the Transformers' war on Earth. Thanks to an [[Intelligence and Information Institute|Triple I]] tracer they followed [[Swoop (G1)|Swoop]] and found the reporter and her crew with the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]]. A battle ensued, with the Decepticons coming out on top until the arrival of [[Centurion (Marvel)|Centurion]] turned the tide against them. Soundwave decided to bring the situation to a conclusion by incinerating the humans' footage, which dispirited the Dinobots and humans and the Decepticons left victorious.'' {{storylink|In the National Interest}}

''The Constructicons were sent into frigid [[Yukon]] territory to work on a secret project. They were discovered by [[Jazz (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Jazz]] and [[Hoist (G1)|Hoist]], only for the two Autobots to accidentally betray their presence with an accidental weapons discharge. The Constructicons chased down the interlopers, blasting at them through a nearby forest. During the chase, they merged into Devastator in an attempt to overtake the pair. While in this form, they were duped into blasting a hydro-electric dam. Realizing what was coming, the Constructicons only had time enough to separate before the concrete structure collapsed, unleashing a torrent of water. The Constructicons were submerged in the flood, allowing the Autobots to escape.'' {{storylink|The Mission}}

''Later, Scrapper and the Constructicons fell under the control of the [[time travel]]ling [[Decepticon leader]] [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]] after he incapacitated Megatron and Soundwave. He set them to building a giant weapon for him, though once his plans were thwarted by [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Ultra Magnus]] and [[Hot Rod (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|three]] [[Kup (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Autobots]] from the [[Blurr (G1)|future]] the Constructicons returned to Megatron's command.'' {{storylink|Target: 2006}}

Forming Devastator once again, they brawled with [[Superion (G1)|Superion]] until a blast from Superion's rifle caused a malfunction in Devastator's coupling links and he broke up into his components. {{storylink|...All Fall Down!}}

[[Ratbat (G1)|Ratbat]] then assumed leadership of the Earthbound Decepticons and had Scrapper and the rest of the Constructicons except Mixmaster raid a building site in downtown [[Atlanta]], [[Georgia]] for raw materials such as girders. {{storylink|Toy Soldiers!}} They would go on to participate in an attack on the combined Autobot forces on Earth's [[Moon (moon)|moon]] while [[Blaster (G1)|Blaster]] and [[Grimlock (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Grimlock]] fought a duel for command.

[[File:Soundwave scrapper mixmaster secrets.jpg|thumb|left|"Scrapper, is Soundwave listening to us?" "''What''? Probably not."]]
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 [[Decepticon Louisiana bayou base|Decepticon base's hallway]] while [[Soundwave (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Soundwave]] was mentally searching for traitors... and blackmail information. {{storylink|Secrets (G1)|Secrets}} With Soundwave in command, Scrapper joined a massive Decepticon offensive against the Autobot [[Earthbase]]. Their goal was to kill some Autobots, while also distracting them as [[Starscream (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Starscream]] looted a human oil tanker in the [[Gulf of Mexico]]. Both goals proved fruitless, and the Decepticons were driven off. {{storylink|Divide and Conquer!}}

=====Marvel UK future timelines=====
{{note|The movie adaptation, originally published by Marvel US, is in italics}}
''When Megatron launched an all-out offensive against [[Autobot City (G1)|Autobot City]] in the year [[2005]], Scrapper was among the troops who besieged the outpost. He and the other Constructicons combined into Devastator at Megatron's command to breach Autobot City's outer defenses. When the Decepticons were eventually forced to retreat inside [[Astrotrain (G1)|Astrotrain]], the Constructicons were relatively unscathed from the battle. As such, they voted that all injured Transformers be jettisoned when Astrotrain complained he didn't have the energy necessary to carry them all back to Cybertron.'' {{storylink|The Planet-Eater!}}

''With Megatron having been deposed, Starscream took over leadership of the Decepticons. He held for himself a coronation ceremony, which Scrapper attended. The procession was interrupted by [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]], who revealed himself to be Megatron reborn before reducing Starscream to a pile of scrap. Scrapper and the others present cheered as their former master retook his place as their leader.'' {{storylink|Judgment Day!}}

[[File:SpacePiratesSoundwaveLeader.JPG|upright=1.4|thumb]]
By [[2008]], Scrapper was supplanted as leader of the Construction by Mixmaster. He was seen with a Decepticon strike team on-board [[Astrotrain (G1)|Astrotrain]] as the Decepticons planned to attack [[Autobase]], just before they were attacked themselves by the [[Quintesson]]s. Previous information that Decepticon commander Soundwave had received, informing him that the Autobots were mostly off-world, turned out to be a ruse orchestrated by the aliens to ambush his troops. The Decepticons were forced to call upon the Autobots for assistance in thwarting the Quintessons' forceful colonization of their homeworld. {{storylink|Space Pirates!}}

[[File:Scrappercrossingover.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|left|Finally, Scrapper gets some "facetime."]]
In the fifteen years since the battle on [[Klo]], [[Megatron (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|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)/Marvel Comics continuity|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)/Marvel Comics continuity|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}}

===Marvel Storybooks continuity===
[[File:Constructicons-ASW.jpeg|thumb|Scrapper is unsarcastically the green and purple one.]]
Under the guise of the [[Global Corporation]], Scrapper and his fellow Constructicons created sophisticated buildings all around the world. Within each building, however, was hidden a mechanism that would trap underground all within the structure. When the scheme was put into motion and the Autobots responded with an attack, Scrapper and his fellow Constructicons merged to become The Devastator. Though in this form, the Constructicons were able to overpower the Autobots, that changed when the Dinobots arrived. Scrapper and Hook were the first ones to die by Swoop's hand, when the Dinobot bombardier released missiles in Devastator's face at point-blank range. {{storylink|Battle for Earth}}

As Devastator, Scrapper and the other Constructicons stumbled upon [[Sunstreaker (G1)|Sunstreaker]] admiring his reflection in the wilderness, and managed to capture the vain Autobot. The group revealed their individual components to their prisoner once he was safely locked up within Decepticon headquarters. They rejoined forces to combat an Autobot rescue party that attempted to storm Decepticon base, and captured [[Slag (G1)|Slag]], [[Sludge (G1)|Sludge]] and [[Sideswipe (G1)|Sideswipe]] as well, putting them in Sunstreaker's cell. The Constructicons were once more prompted to combine into Devastator to contemplate an Autobot peace offering; a life-sized statue of the gestalt! The peace offering turned out to be an Autobot ruse, and reinforcement burst forth from within the statue. The Autobots forced Devastator to break up into his component pieces by thoroughly dividing his attention, and so Scrapper joined the fight against the Autobots as an individual. The Decepticons ultimately lost the battle to the Autobots. {{storylink|The Autobots' Secret Weapon}}

===Marvel coloring books===
When the Decepticons learned that the Autobots had long ago lost a large shipment of Energon cubes at the Ark's original crash site, Galvatron ordered them to head to Mt. St. Hillary to uncover it. There, Scrapper and Bonecrusher used their [[alternate mode]]s to dig up the area. They engaged the Autobots in battle when they inevitably showed themselves. The brawl ended when Starscream scarfed down all of the Energon, and proceeded to pick a fight with Galvatron. {{storylink|The Lost Treasure of Cybertron}}

====Dinobots Strike Back====
When the Decepticons discovered that the [[black coral]] in [[Dolphin's Bay]] could be processed into a limitless supply of superfuel that would make them more powerful than ever, Scrapper was charged with building all the equipment necessary to make it happen. To prevent any Autobot spies from learning of Operation Black Coral and making it back to the Ark, he booby-trapped an obvious trail through the woods at the base of [[Mount Lomas]] with a tripwire that would cause the ground to give way, dumping its victims into a cell in his supermodern underground lab. (It's unknown if any other [[Constructicon (G1)|Constructicons]] besides [[Gravedigger]] assisted him).

If [[you]] made enough bad choices, [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]] and [[Skids (G1)|Skids]] became his first guests. Scrapper consulted his blueprints, looked at Bumblebee with an evil smile as he mentioned needing more materials to finish the power plant, politely thanked the pair for volunteering to assist him, then reduced them to scrap metal in 10 minutes. One by one, '''all''' the Autobots came looking for their missing friends and fell into Scrapper's trap, allowing him to build the entire plant out of their parts. Scrapper named his creation the [[Autobot Memorial Power Plant]], and laughed at having made them look so ''fuelish''! (get it?) {{storylink|Dinobots Strike Back}}

====Earthquake====
In one possible path, wherein Beachcomber attempted to enter the Decepticons’ fortress by himself through the front door, he was jumped by Buzzsaw who immediately tore into Beachcomber. Buzzsaw was helped by Scrapper into disassembling the Autobot. Megatron then ordered his Decepticons to rebuild Beachcomber. In the process, the Decepticons planned to swap Beachcomber's memory chip for a Destructicon chip, to create the perfect double agent. {{storylink|Earthquake (book)|Earthquake}}

====Autobot Alert!====
In one possible scenario, the Constructicons were responsible for building the Decepticons’ command centre in the evil robots’ latest plot of taking over the Earth. They also were responsible for stocking Astrotrain with explosives and weapons before the Decepticon shuttle launched into space to further sabotage Earth's satellites.

In a different possible scenario, the Constructicons joined Galvatron on his campaign to retrieve an ancient cybertite sphere containing the secret of an ancient Autobot power-booster. Discovering that the sphere was within a sunken ship off the California coast, the Constructicons merged into Devastator in order to retrieve it. {{storylink|Autobot Alert!}}

===The Official ''Transformers: Generation 2'' Annual===
At Megatron's command, Scrapper constructed a pair of giant rocket engines on [[Clarke Atoll]], digging deep into the Earth. The Decepticons planned to turn the planet itself into a mobile base of operations, destroying human civilization as they propelled it through space. Despite Scrapper's desire to give his project a trial-run, Megatron insisted the engines were turned to full power immediately. Scrapper complied rather than risk enraging his superior, and begun the ignition sequence. But before the engines were fully operational, the Autobot flyers [[Jetfire (G1)|Jetfire]] and [[Deftwing]] swept in and overloaded their plasma coils. The resulting lava swell destroyed Scrapper's magnificent creation, forcing the Decepticons to flee from the resultant volcanic eruption. {{storylink|Moving Day Planet Earth}}

Nine million years ago, a young [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] staged a Decepticon uprising and sieged [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]] to smokescreen his true designs. Long-buried [[planetary engine]]s 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|The War Within #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|The War Within #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 Within #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}} Devastator was unleashed upon the [[Wreckers]] in the [[Tagan Heights]], but was defeated by the [[Protectobot (G1)|Protectobots]] by overloading him with electricity. This not only shut Devastator down, but also forced him to split into his component 'bots. {{storylink|Devastation}}

During the Age of Internment, Scrapper was active at the Autobot detention block in [[Internment Camp Pi]] at [[Praxus]]. {{storylink|The Age of Wrath Pt.2}}

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|Prime Directive #5}} Optimus Prime shot them in the head. {{storylink|Prime Directive issue 6|Prime Directive #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|Transformers: Hardwired|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 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|Transformers: Annihilation|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|Transformers: Fusion|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 1 issue 0|Generation 1 #0}}

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]]. {{storylink|G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers issue 3|G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers #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|G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers #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|G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers #5}}

During a brutal all-out Decepticon offensive, Scrapper battled Sideswipe. He and his fellow Constructicons were blown away by an explosion. Then, Scrapper joined with the other Constructicons to form Devastator in order to combat [[Beast (G1)|The Beast]], the Dinobots’ combined form. {{storylink|The Beast Within}}

[[File:MegsOrigin2 Constructicons.jpg|thumb|upright=1.7]]
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 (polity)|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 (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Megatron]] could reach outside the ring when he executed the Autobot surveyors, [[Fastback (G1)|Fastback]] and [[Bumper (G1)|Bumper]]. {{storylink|Megatron Origin issue 2|Megatron Origin #2}} The Constructicons also worked on the fighters themselves, repairing them after fights and installing new weapons on them. {{storylink|Megatron Origin issue 3|Megatron Origin #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)/2005 IDW continuity|Optimus Prime]] and [[Ironhide (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Ironhide]]. {{storylink|The Iron Age}}

The Constructicons battled against the Autobots when they made an assault on the [[Citadel (building)|Citadel]]. {{storylink|Broadcast}}
As the war began in earnest between the Autobots and Decepticons, the Constructicons remained loyal followers of Megatron. At one point they were stationed on [[Varas Centralus]] alongside [[Swindle (G1)|Swindle]] and [[Sky-Byte (RID)|Sky-Byte]], where they committed some atrocity that was enough to cause Sky-Byte to abandon the Decepticon cause. {{storylink|A Better Tomorrow}}

[[File:Scrapperburns.jpg|upright=1.5|thumb|left|But seriously, folks—*Boom!*]]
Millions of years later, the Constructicons arrived on Earth. Having obtained combiner technology, Scrapper and his team merged into [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]] and made short work of the Autobot unit on the planet. {{storylink|All Hail Megatron issue 7|All Hail Megatron #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|All Hail Megatron #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|All Hail Megatron #2}} When the city had fallen, Scrapper listened to Megatron's victory speech. {{storylink|All Hail Megatron issue 4|All Hail Megatron #4}}

The Constructicons later joined [[Starscream (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|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|All Hail Megatron #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|All Hail Megatron #11}} The battle ended when Omega blasted Devastator straight through the torso, defeating the Constructicons. {{storylink|All Hail Megatron issue 12|All Hail Megatron #12}}

[[File:IDWongoing2 Scrapper Tankor.jpg|thumb|upright=1.6|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)/2005 IDW continuity|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|Things Fall Apart, Part 3: "Seasons in Flight"|Seasons in Flight}} Seeking revenge on Omega Supreme for the Constructicons' earlier defeat, Scrapper and Swindle led their group into battle with [[Hot Rod (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|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|Things Fall Apart, Part 1: "New Arrivals, Old Encounters"|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)/2005 IDW continuity|Ultra Magnus]] turned up to investigate [[Ironhide (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Ironhide]]'s death and subsequently fired upon Swindle, Scrapper transformed in response to defend his his group leader. {{storylink|Things Fall Apart, Part 3: "Seasons in Flight"|Seasons in Flight}}

As the Decepticons ultimately turned against their Autobot "friends", Scrapper gleefully tried to crush [[Bumblebee (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|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|Things Fall Apart, Part 5: "Earthworks"|Earthworks}}

[[File:TheTransformers8 Scrapper pinned down.jpg|upright=1.5|left|thumb|I get a spotlight like the popular characters and you kill me off [[Mike Costa|Costa]]?! Wait, what do you mean it's not a spotlight? DAMMIT!]]
Scrapper hid in a construction site, but [[Spike Witwicky (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|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|Scrapper (issue)|Scrapper}}

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|The Demolished Man}} They subsequently scanned his mind and viewed his final memories in life. In a confrontation with Optimus Prime, Megatron mentioned Scrapper's fate and used Witwicky's execution of a surrendered combatant (and the cover-up that followed) as a reason why no humans could be trusted, not even Prime's closest comrades. After the battle, Optimus ordered [[Prowl (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Prowl]] to investigate Scrapper's murder, apparently seeking truth and justice. {{storylink|Revenge of the Decepticons Part 5: Enemy Mine|Enemy Mine}}

[[File:Kings Constructicons.jpg|thumb|upright=2.0|Every day is now Leg Day.]]
The other Decepticons brought Scrapper's corpse with them when Megatron summoned them to Cybertron, where the other Constructicons still proved capable of combining with it (sorry Spike). However, Devastator was left with a paralyzed right leg, which led to his defeat in a battle with the Autobots. {{storylink|Chaos Part Three: Kings}}

Even after the Constructicons were rebuilt into a more modular design with Hook replacing Scrapper as Devastator's right leg, Scrapper still lived on in the minds of his old team members—literally, as part of the gestalt process erodes the participants' individuality. As such, Prowl, who had become the sixth member of Devastator's components, had been unintentionally referring to other Constructicons as "Scrapper" after combining with them a few times. When Devastator saw Spike again, he was immediately overcome with homicidal rage at how Spike had killed Scrapper, "killing" Devastator's gestalt mind. {{storylink|Onyx Interface Part Three: ONoffON|ONoffON}} {{storylink|The Onyx Interface Conclusion: The Obliterati|The Obliterati}}

Later, Starscream used the [[Enigma of Combination]] to upgrade the Constructicons and include his follower [[Scoop (G1)|Scoop]] into the mix, resulting in Hook regaining his head and shoulders position and Scoop taking Scrapper's place as the [[:File:YouMeAndTheUniverse-Scoopcolors.jpg|(sometimes discolored)]] right leg. {{storylink|You, Me, and the Universe}}

===''Kre-O'' cartoon===
[[Spinister (G1)#Kre-O cartoon|Spinister]] whistled up the four Constructicons to form Devastator, to help with the robbery of the [[Autobot City Bank]]. {{storylink|Quest for Energon, Part 1}} After an attempt to make [[Megatron (Kre-O)|Megatron]] a grilled cheese sandwich, Scrapper and the other Constructicons were splattered with molten cheese and tied up in a net by the Autobots. {{storylink|Quest for Energon, Part 2}}

When Mixmaster received a yellow card during a soccer game, Scrapper and the rest of the team merged to form Devastator, so the combiner could block [[Bumblebee (Kre-O)|Bumblebee]]'s penalty kick. {{storylink|Ultimate Defender}}

===''Kre-O'' online comic===
Scrapper and his fellow Constructicons infiltrated the construction site of the Autobot base and promptly started wrecking it and stealing energy blocks. Once the ruse was up they combined into Devastator to menace the Autobots, but were felled when [[Optimus Prime (Kre-O)|Optimus Prime]] led a tickle attack on the underside of the giant's foot. The Constructicons were subsequently subjected to "special training" [[Megatron (Kre-O)|Megatron]], who had them tied up and tickled repeatedly in hopes that they'd get used to it. {{storylink|A New Menace!

Scrapper, Long Haul and Scavenger all battled Megatron in the ruins of an old coliseum, but he easily overpowered them all. Upon overhearing Windblade say that Starscream possessed the [[Enigma of Combination]], Long Haul signaled a plan to Scrapper and the other Constructicons, and they later formed Devastator in an attempt to take the Enigma for themselves. {{storylink|Unforgotten}} In the aftermath of the [[Combiner Wars (event)|Combiner Wars]], Scrapper was among those assisting with the reconstruction efforts. {{storylink|Aftermath and Rebirth}} He died when Rodimus Cron shot him off of Devastator. {{storylink|Volcanicus (episode)|Volcanicus}}

Transported to the Japan of an alternate universe, the Constructicons rolled out to take part in Megatron and [[Doctor Hell]]'s combined attack on the [[Photon Power Laboratory]] where they were first pummeled by Grimlock and [[Boss Borot]]. The team then formed Devastator to take on [[Kōji Kabuto]] inside the [[Mazinger Z]], and although Devastator's raw strength nearly overpowered the heroic super robot, Mazinger's rocket punch ultimately knocked Devastator back into his components. {{storylink|Mazinger Z versus Transformers}}

===2019 IDW continuity===
{{first|[[Constructicons Rising, Part 1|''Galaxies'' #1]]}}

[[File:ConstructiconsRisingPart1-Scrapper.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66]]

Born before the end of the [[War of the Threefold Spark]], Scrapper and five other promising young builders formed the Constructicons, an ambitious construction team recruited by the visionary architect [[Termagax]] to help rebuild the ruins of [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]]. Eager to make a name for themselves, the team promptly clashed with Termagax's conservative second-in-command [[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack]]—for while Wheeljack sought to merely ''rebuild'' Iacon, Termagax saw the potential for something bigger and better to take its place. While excavating in [[Rivets Field]], the team inadvertently discovered the [[Enigma of Combination]]. Urged on by Termagax, Scrapper and his team agreed to expose themselves to the energies of the artifact, transforming themselves into a new combiner: raw power which Termagax hoped to harness and reshape into the ultimate building tool. {{storylink|Constructicons Rising, Part 1}}

Despite this new strength and power, Scrapper and his team struggled to master their combination, fighting against a seventh, destructive personality that surfaced whenever the team combined... and whose love of indiscriminate destruction jeopardized their reconstruction efforts. Finally, however, Termagax encouraged the team to work ''with'' this anger, rather than against it, and harness the powerful emotion to unite them in their shared purpose of rebuilding Iacon. Although the team would eventually complete their goal of turning the ravaged cityscape into a beautiful metropolis, they would not enjoy the fruits of their labor for long—Wheeljack brought his concerns to the attention of [[Nominus Prime]], and the Prime arranged matters so that the team would be reassigned to the distant colony of [[Mayalx]] to oversee the construction of a new [[energon]] refinery. {{storylink|Constructicons Rising, Part 3}} There, the Constructicons labored for many years, deliberately kept under-fueled and tired so they couldn't combine, while they grew increasingly resentful of the world that had abandoned them while reminiscing about their glory days. {{storylink|Constructicons Rising, Part 1}}

[[File:ConstructiconsRisingPart2-Scrapper.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.66]]

With their future on Cybertron uncertain, Scrapper eventually came to believe that the team's future lay elsewhere and began training his teammates in the ways of combat, holding regular sparring sessions in an improvised gladiatorial arena. During one particular session, the team was interrupted by the [[Insecticon (G1)|Insecticon]] [[Bombshell (G1)|Bombshell]], who, after a brief misunderstanding, told them ''his'' story: like the Constructicons, Nominus Prime had ''also'' banished the Insecticons for fear of their unique matter-eating abilities. Knowing that the team could be of use to [[The Rise]], Bombshell manipulated the team into unknowingly aiding the cause, encouraging them to recapture their glory days. {{storylink|Constructicons Rising, Part 2}}

After some deliberation, the six builders agreed to help the Insecticons, and after filling up on Bombshell's provided [[energon cube]]s the team combined for the first time since their banishment—but instead of uniting based on their shared urge to create, the Constructicons combined to destroy Mayalx and everything it represented to them, a spiteful, destructive rampage that ended with every 'bot in the colony slaughtered and the statue of Nominus Prime toppled. Unaware that the Insecticons had deliberately goaded them into such wanton slaughter so that the energon they processed from the many remains could be secretly shipped back to Cybertron to fuel the rise, Scrapper told his team that, for the first time in their lives, they were finally free to do and build whatever they wanted. {{storylink|Constructicons Rising, Part 4}}

Eventually, Shockwave called the Constructicons back to Cybertron and the Rise. When they arrived, however, Shockwave's former superior [[Exarchon]] had laid claim to the Rise and their bases. The Threefold Spark was eager to take a new body as powerful as Devastator, and tried to usurp the combiner. Together, Scrapper and the Constructicons were strong enough to prevent Exarchon from possessing their collective spark or sparks, though the effort forced them apart and left them out of action. {{storylink|War's End Part Four}} With Exarchon soon destroyed, the Rise were fully absorbed into the Decepticons, and Shockwave provided the Constructicons to [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]]'s cause. Scrapper and the others were happy to be home, and to be wanted as Devastator. They saw themselves as heroes destined to end the war, and were happy to oppose the legacy of Nominus Prime. As Devastator, the team besieged Autobot-controlled [[Darkmount (Cybertron)|Darkmount]], but [[Computron (G1)|Computron]] spearheaded a spirited Autobot counterattack and bought time for [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] and his followers to escape Cybertron aboard the ''[[Ark (G1)|Ark]]''. {{storylink|Transformers: Fate of Cybertron|Fate of Cybertron}}

Although [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]] easily trounced the individual Decepticons, he couldn't stand up to their combined form. Fortunately, [[Spike (MLP)|Spike]] the baby dragon found a way to trigger the starship's engines and blast Devastator back into his components. {{storylink|Inspiring}}

[[Optimus Prime (G1)#Energon Universe|Optimus Prime]] would eventually take down Devastator in combat, forcing the combiner to split.

==Notes==
*The [[The Transformers (cartoon)|original ''The Transformers'' 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]].
*The name "Payload" was used for Scrapper in the script for "[[Day of the Machines]]" (in a scene that didn't make it into the finished episode), but that may have been a misreading of his profile page from the briefing binder, rather than a legitimate pre-production name. His profile in the binder features the description for his alternate mode, "tractor shovel", crossed out with "payloader" written in its place, but the "-er" blends into the redaction line, and might have been overlooked by the writer in haste, leaving him to think the character's name was "Payload".
*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 [[The Transformers Universe (Marvel)|Marvel ''Universe'']] entry notes, this allows him to fly at 60 mph over a range of 250 miles, although Scrapper has never used this ability in fiction, though it was mentioned by his bio in the Transformers: Earth Wars mobile game, which calls it a "Levitation Wing", though he never uses the ability in-game.
*Despite being the (nominal) leader of the Constructicons, Scrapper forms one of Devastator's legs, rather than his head and/or body. This contravenes the pattern established with most subsequent Transformers combining teams.
*In the 2000s, Hasbro had lost the toy trademark for "Scrapper", hence the ''Universe'' Micromaster incarnation of the character being named "[[Buckethead]]" instead. By the 2010s, Hasbro had since regained it, albeit needing to add the prefix "'''Decepticon''' Scrapper" or "'''Constructicon''' Scrapper".
