(Original section title: Uh...) Where'd you get your name from? --[[User:Kaon Prisoner|Kaon Prisoner]] 21:44, 6 June 2011 (EDT)
:It was the magic word used by the Silver Age Blue Beetle. I think I may have misspelled it, though. --[[User:Khajidha|Khajidha]] 06:40, 7 June 2011 (EDT)
::I think you've got it right— that's how they spell it in the Blue Beetle (Jaime Reyes) comics (which are excellent), although I believe they put a space or a hyphen or somesuch in the middle. Nice username, strong approval, etc. --[[User:Bobcat2022|Bobcat2022]] 23:13, 10 July 2011 (EDT)
::Just to be a completist (I'm in the right place for that, yes?) I looked it up, and officially nowadays there's no second H ("da" instead of "dha"). Close enough for government work, though. --[[User:Bobcat2022|Bobcat2022]] 23:17, 10 July 2011 (EDT)
:::Yeah, I think it's varied all over the place over the years. I've seen "kaji dha", "khaji da" and "khaji dha". I just kind of went with what looked coolest to me. --[[User:Khajidha|Khajidha]] 00:48, 11 July 2011 (EDT)

===Question===

Hi, um. Bit of an awkward question, but are you trans? And if so, which pronouns do you prefer? Sorry if I'm bothering you. [[User:Escargon|Escargon]] ([[User talk:Escargon|talk]]) 20:59, 19 June 2016 (EDT)
:Not a bother at all. I am a dual-role transvestite. I have both a male and a female identity. I do not wish to transition, but am uncomfortable if I am not able to be my femme-self for long periods of time. I prefer that people use the pronouns that match my presentation at the time. On here you can use whichever you wish. --[[User:Khajidha|Khajidha]] ([[User talk:Khajidha|talk]]) 04:51, 20 June 2016 (EDT)

"Theme" can be a verb. Would you like to dramatically question my sanity again? [[User:S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47|S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47]] ([[User talk:S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47|talk]]) 07:13, 10 June 2019 (EDT)
:1) I wasn't questioning its use as a verb, just the specific construction "themed on". I had never seen that particular construction and it sounded extremely odd to me. Checking around since you posted here, I have found it in use. 2) I wasn't questioning your sanity, I was questioning the grammar. --[[User:Khajidha|Khajidha]] ([[User talk:Khajidha|talk]]) 12:15, 10 June 2019 (EDT)

===Thanks===
Thanks for helping me with my user page. I've been frequenting the wiki for a while, but I'm not good with that type of thing. Just appreciate it. I still don't get your logic on how Bumblebee's not it's own continuity, but whatever. --[[User:ZodiacLegacy911|ZodiacLegacy911]] 12:26, 17 October 2019 (EDT)

== I'M GETTING TIRED OF IT ==
1st, i'am not making any "SUPPOSITION" that there is a connection, because i'm not a speculation, fanfiction and supposition creator, since i only like to pass official information about everything that exists about transformers, and i would edit only if i found a piece of information that it's not in the article, or if i found something that's not correct about it to fix-it, and 2nd, sure Hasbro and Takara may had never said that these figures are the same characters as the yellow bulldozer and dump truck in the movie, but if the figures have the same vehicle mode as the yellow bulldozer and yellow dump truck, than it's indeed an official media that Skipjack and Payload are the bulldozer and dump truck in the movie, now three questions, 1st, why didn't you read the entire "I'm back" part from the discussion section to understand my situation?, 2nd why did you wrote something like this to offend me? and 3rd, why are you talking to me instead of Riptide talking to me in first place? anyways go ahead, continue your offense againts me, because i want you all to know that Hasbro and Takara Tomy are releasing an Studio Series Skipjack, meaning that Skipjack is the yellow bulldozer that forms the left foot, and if Hasbro and Takara Tomy release an Studio Series Payload in the future, than it means that Payload is the yellow dump truck that forms the left leg, and if this happens, it means that everything i'm saying about Skipjack and Payload being the yellow bulldozer and dump truck is true!, and one final thing, if what saying turn out to be true, DON'T TELL ME I DIN'T WARNED YOU!. so Khadija, I HATE YOU BECAUSE OF WHAT YOU SAID TO ME, AND PLEASE DON'T ANSWER THE QUESTIONS ABOVE, BECAUSE NOW I'M VERY VERY VERY ANNOYED! bye. --Transformersbrasil (talk) 20:36, 20 February 2020 (EST)

If your changes to an article are being repeatedly reverted, you need to discuss the issue on the relevant talk page. --[[User:Abates|abates]] ([[User talk:Abates|talk]]) 16:11, 9 February 2020 (EST)

== Skipjack and Payload ==

There are no sources that say that the unnamed bulldozer and dump truck are meant to be Skipjack and Payload, as far as I'm aware. If you can come up with one, feel free to present it, but until then, stop adding that to those pages. [[User:Escargon|Escargon]] ([[User talk:Escargon|talk]]) 21:29, 9 February 2020 (EST)
:Basically, what you are doing is adding supposition and fanfic, and those are not to be presented as fact on this wiki. --[[User:M Sipher|M Sipher]] ([[User talk:M Sipher|talk]]) 22:17, 9 February 2020 (EST)
:: Unless you can show us evidence that Payload and Skipjack exist in ROTF, do not add this to the wiki. If you do it again, you will recieve another time-out. [[User:Grum|Grum]] ([[User talk:Grum|talk]]) 13:23, 13 February 2020 (EST)
:: Payload and Skipjack are the yellow unnamed bulldozer and yellow unnamed dump truck that appeared in Revenge Of The Fallen, if you don't trust me i got some evidences to prove it, the Payload (Movie) article on this site, says that he is a decepticon and a constructicon, on the toys shown on the toys section from the same article, the Payload toy from the 2010 toyline transforms into a yellow dump truck, on the toys shown on the Skipjack (ROTF) article on this site, Skipjack turns into a yellow bulldozer and on the Devastator combination scene on the top of the cliff there's a yellow bulldozer (which is Skipjack's vehicle mode), and a yellow dump truck (which is Payload's vehicle mode), now you might say hasbro just repainted their Revenge Of The Fallen Long Haul to make more money on the figure and that the dump truck on the cliff is Long Haul because the sunlight makes it look yellow when is actually green, but that's not true because Long Haul appears next to Skids and Mudflap before combining and Skids and Mudflap weren't on a cliff when that happened. as for Skipjack you might say that takara tomy did the same thing hasbro does, and repainted hasbro's Hunt For The Decepticons legends class Rampage to make more money on the toy and they are actually two robots with the same body-type with different colors and because of that the decepticons decided to name them both as Rampage, but i'll have to disagree, because Rampage is red and Skipjack is yellow, because they share the same body-type, and this concept of different colors on multiple robots with the same body-type is used to be much easier to know who is who, just like Scavenger and Demolishor, which share the same body-type but have different colors, well that's it i hope you understand what i'm trying to explain here, thanks! -- [[User:Transformersbrasil|Transformersbrasil]] ([[User talk:Transformersbrasil|talk]]) 2:27, 13 February 2020 (EST)
:::All of this is entirely speculative and circumstantial. It is not enough evidence for us to actually say that the unnamed dump truck is Payload. '''Stop making edits about Payload or the dump truck or you will be given another time-out.''' This is your last warning. [[User:Riptide|Riptide]] ([[User talk:Riptide|talk]]) 14:44, 13 February 2020 (EST)

== Goodbye ==

Skipjack and Payload are the yellow bulldozer and yellow dump truck that appeared on the top of the cliff during Devastator combine scene from transformers revenge of the fallen, because the source comes from the movie itself and the evidences comes from the toys, i'am not making this up, i never did any speculation, or fanfiction or supposition or anything like that, and i'll never do it on this site ever, because if i was really a speculation fanfiction and supposition creator, i wound't have sign on this site to edit those articles in first place, i would just keep it to myself and tell about it only to my friends on school or in videos that i would post or share on my social mídia, and let those articles alone just like how they were before i sign in and how they are now, i didn't wanted to cause any trouble i just wanted to fix, expand, add, and create articles, but now do to the way you are treating me, with undoing my changes to fix, my expansions and additions on articles, and saying that if do it again, you all would block me, i see now that being sign to tfwiki was a huge waste of time for me, so fine i hope you're all glad of everything as they are now and the way you've all have been treating me, cause after i post this discussion on this and my talk page, i will log out of tfwiki to stay away from it forever, and i won't log in to this site never again, goodbye! --[[User:Transformersbrasil|Transformersbrasil]] ([[User talk:Transformersbrasil|talk]]) 2:16, 17 February 2020 (EST)
:Look. You're clearly young, and I assume English isn't your first language. I sympathise with how frustrating it must be that your edits keep getting reverted. But the fact of the matter is that no official media have ever connected the bulldozer and dump truck with Skipjack and Payload beyond "they're yellow and have the same alternate mode", and given that fact, the wiki can't say that they are. It's not a personal attack on you, it's simply that the wiki's canon policy doesn't work that way - we can't take it as assumed that they're the same character just because they're similar. I hope you understand, and if you do choose to return you'll keep contributing in a more helpful way. --[[User:Riptide|Riptide]] ([[User talk:Riptide|talk]]) 14:26, 17 February 2020 (EST)

== I'm back ==

well, i understand what you're telling me, i just want you to know that, i'am not a speculation, fanfiction and supposition creator, since i only like to pass official information about everything that exists about transformers, and i would edit only if i found a piece of information that it's not in the article, or if i found something that's not correct about it to fix-it, speaking of fixing, expanding and adding, i just want you to understand that Skipjack and Payload are in fact the yellow bulldozer and yellow dump truck that appeared on the top of the cliff during Devastator combine scene from transformers revenge of the fallen, because like i said, the source comes from the movie itself and the evidences comes from the toys, and yes, i know that no official media have ever connected the bulldozer and dump truck with Skipjack and Payload beyond "they're yellow and have the same alternate mode", since the wiki can't say that they are because the wiki's canon policy doesn't work that way, but if hasbro and takara tomy released theses figures with the same vehicle mode that appeared in that scene from the movie, than it means that Skipjack and Payload are in fact the yellow bulldozer and yellow dump truck, even though it's only one evidence that we have, at least it's an official media that connects the bulldozer and dump truck with Skipjack and Payload, and that's it, from now on i'm going to use the discussion page on every article before editing to tell what i found and why i want to make the edit, and i hope i'am accepted this time, so with all of that said, i hope you understand why i wanted to quit and why i came back, thanks! and remember "till all are one". --[[User:Transformersbrasil|Transformersbrasil]] ([[User talk:Transformersbrasil|talk]]) 12:50, 20 February 2020 (EST)
:But that is still YOU making the SUPPOSITION that there is a connection. That's the point we are trying to get across to you. Yes, a yellow bulldozer and yellow dump truck appeared in the movie. Yes, Hasbro and Takara released figures with the same vehicle mode. BUT they never said that these figures are the same characters as the yellow bulldozer and dump truck in the movie. There is no official media making that connection. --[[User:Khajidha|Khajidha]] ([[User talk:Khajidha|talk]]) 13:04, 20 February 2020 (EST)

== exRiD #44 images ==

I see that you uploaded [[G'nur]]'s picture. Would you happen to be able to do the same for Dauros and the ghost of Bumblebee? They're rather minor in the story, but I think it would help the wiki. [[User:S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47|S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47]] ([[User talk:S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47|talk]]) 21:07, 19 February 2016 (EST)
:Sure! Any other panels you'd like me to upload, while I'm at it? I can do pretty much any of them. --[[User:Riptide|Riptide]] ([[User talk:Riptide|talk]]) 17:20, 20 February 2016 (EST)
::Thank you! What about the one-eyed Decepticon G'nur is serving? Has he received any designation? Meanwhile I think Aileron, Sterling, Swift, and the Badgeless could use some regular images. And these characters come from older issues, but by chance could you also do [[Red Leader (Caminus)|Red Leader]], [[Crumplezone (G1)|Crumplezone]], and [[Rapido|Racemaster]] as well? [[User:S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47|S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47]] ([[User talk:S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47|talk]]) 19:42, 20 February 2016 (EST)
:::Covered Dauros and the Badgeless from #44; I'll upload the others this week. Also uploaded [[:File:ExRID 44 ghost bumblebee and starscream.jpg|ghost Bumblebee]], but I'm not sure where it should go - Bumblebee's page doesn't mention ghost Bumblebee at all, nor is there a stub note. I guess it probably should...?
:::Also, as for the one-eyed Decepticon, I guess you mean the beige guy with the visor who looks kinda like a pointier Seeker? I don't think he has a designation, but I can upload him if you'd like. --[[User:Riptide|Riptide]] ([[User talk:Riptide|talk]]) 19:00, 21 February 2016 (EST)
::::Eh, if he's one-off and no-name in a long comic series, I guess there's nothing for the wiki to do. On the other hand, I've set up Bumblebee's article for Starscream's hallucinations. Thanks for the uploads! [[User:S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47|S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47]] ([[User talk:S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47|talk]]) 19:10, 21 February 2016 (EST)
::::Here's one other good one which just occurred to me. Could you upload "Slaughterhouse" from [[City on Fire|RiD #12]] and link it to his name in the character list? Sure he's a one-off, but the "Slaughterhouse" concept has been around for decades now. I think uploading a picture would be worth the wiki. [[User:S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47|S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47]] ([[User talk:S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47|talk]]) 22:18, 21 February 2016 (EST)

:Sure. I'll do them with the Windblade characters when I get around to them. (Been busy recently.) --[[User:Riptide|Riptide]] ([[User talk:Riptide|talk]]) 18:23, 9 March 2016 (EST)
::Many thanks. Sorry if I seem bothersome. But even if I had every one of this issues on hand, I have no experience working scanners. And one other request: if and when we get an actual name for him, could you do Knock Out's conjunx endura aka not-Breakdown? [[User:S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47|S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47]] ([[User talk:S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47|talk]]) 10:16, 14 March 2016 (EDT)
:::Nah, it's no problem! I like having some guidance as to how to be helpful. (I can probably upload not-Breakdown whenever, and just stick him in the notes of Knock Out's page, or even make a "Knock Out's conjunx endura" page.) --[[User:Riptide|Riptide]] ([[User talk:Riptide|talk]]) 12:14, 14 March 2016 (EDT)

== Possible Buzzclaw generic ==

If I might get a second opinion, do you agree with my assessment that the generic 'con on pages 12 and 13 of [[The Transgressors|exRiD #44]] and page 3 of [[Conquerors Part 4: Perihelion|exRiD #49]] looks to have a [[Buzzclaw (BW)|''Beast Wars'' Buzzclaw]]-inspired look? He may have a visor instead of two optics as well as wheels on his shoulders and shins, but he also has an orange head, a lot of green, and a chest which looks like a bug face. [[User:S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47|S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47]] ([[User talk:S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47|talk]]) 15:50, 23 April 2016 (EDT)
:Eh. I can see it, but it doesn't match other than in extremely broad strokes. I'm reluctant to even say that it's a colourist-created cameo, since the chest's green with red "eyes" instead of orange/red with blue ones. I think it might just be a coincidence; a green and orange generic had to show up at SOME point, and this one happened to have chest-eyes. --[[User:Riptide|Riptide]] ([[User talk:Riptide|talk]]) 17:32, 23 April 2016 (EDT)

== Rom vs ROM ==

Saw where you mentioned [[Rom]]'s named sometimes being parsed ROM. Was this something that happened in ROM #2 (which I have yet to read)? Because if not, then the character's name is just "Rom." It's only the title of the series that's in all caps. -- [[User:DannyBoy|DannyBoy]] ([[User talk:DannyBoy|talk]]) 12:07, 24 August 2016 (EDT)
:The character page uses both ROM and Rom. --[[User:Riptide|Riptide]] ([[User talk:Riptide|talk]]) 12:08, 24 August 2016 (EDT)
::What character page? Cause even the issue's roll-call page in the beginning uses "Rom." -- [[User:DannyBoy|DannyBoy]] ([[User talk:DannyBoy|talk]]) 18:49, 24 August 2016 (EDT)
:::Most characters' profiles use Rom, but Darby's refers to him as ROM. I guess it can probably be removed if you think it's just a mistake, though. --[[User:Riptide|Riptide]] ([[User talk:Riptide|talk]]) 19:00, 24 August 2016 (EDT)
::::Yeah, it's probably just a mistake. I just didn't want to undo it without seeing why, then causing a big edit war or something. -- [[User:DannyBoy|DannyBoy]] ([[User talk:DannyBoy|talk]]) 19:04, 24 August 2016 (EDT)

Okay, another thing I want to clarify: When I write the title of the comic book series in all caps, I'm doing that based on the fact that Chris Ryall always capitalizes it in the letters pages of the book, as well as on various social medias. To me, that indicates the series should be written in all caps. --[[User:DannyBoy|DannyBoy]] ([[User talk:DannyBoy|talk]]) 14:38, 31 August 2016 (EDT)

==Renegade Rhetoric==
Please stop trimming the condensed Renegade Rhetoric content from characters who appear in other crossover fiction. Per community portal and Chris McFeely's proposal: "Those who only appear in Renegade Rhetoric get consolidated into a list with brief description of their Renegade Rhetoric adventures with links to the RR/src archive. And for the characters who do appear in crossover fiction, their Renegade Rhetoric adventures get that brief description with link to archive." We've had so many arguments about this in the past, do you REALLY want to reopen this wound by changing the rules that were debated and agreed on ad nauseum? --[[User:Giggidy|Giggidy]] ([[User talk:Giggidy|talk]]) 23:18, 27 April 2016 (EDT)

Hey, nice work of the Combiner article, much more succinct than I could manage.

== Ore-12 and Emissary ==

Cheers. Noticed that you reverted my edit in the article for [[The Falling, Interlude: The First Who Was Named|OP #18]], saying that it's Ore-12 -- not Emissary -- that was the source of the Space Knights' armor. Just to be clear, I never meant to imply that their armor was ''made'' out of Emissary himself; rather that he was the vessel which brought Ore-12 to Elonia (which I now concede is inaccurate).

I just went back to Unicron #0 to double-check, and [http://i.imgur.com/XxGQ1FE.jpg Rom does in fact make it seem like Emissary was the source of the Regenesis ore]. Looks like Rom was wrong here - the planet was seeded by one of Shockwave's Regenesis missiles ''separately'' from Emissary's arrival. Should this be cleared up in the Notes so that other readers don't get similarly confused?

My main question: should we still add a thingy in the Notes section that confirms that the Knights' armor is, in fact, an Ore? Or is the information already there sufficient? [[User:Genitus|Genitus]] ([[User talk:Genitus|talk]]) 17:52, 12 October 2018 (EDT)

== Changing ==

If you want to take over, fine, but note that a lot of IDW pages are not in the IDW G1 category tree, which is why I was prioritising those over the ones that are (and I wasn't done yet). - [[User:Mammalian Verisimilitude|Mammalian Verisimilitude]] ([[User talk:Mammalian Verisimilitude|talk]]) 17:12, 3 April 2019 (EDT)

(And if there's some sort of consensus on changing from IDW 2005 to 2005 IDW, you '''really''' should move the pages first, so that you're not creating a load of redlinks.) - [[User:Mammalian Verisimilitude|Mammalian Verisimilitude]] ([[User talk:Mammalian Verisimilitude|talk]]) 17:15, 3 April 2019 (EDT)

== Skipjack and Payload ==

Payload and Skipjack are the yellow unnamed bulldozer and yellow unnamed dump truck that appeared in Revenge Of The Fallen, if you don't trust me i got some evidences to prove it, the Payload (Movie) article on this site, says that he is a decepticon and a constructicon, on the toys shown on the toys section from the same article, the Payload toy from the 2010 toyline transforms into a yellow dump truck, on the toys shown on the Skipjack (ROTF) article on this site, Skipjack turns into a yellow bulldozer and on the Devastator combination scene on the top of the cliff there's a yellow bulldozer (which is Skipjack's vehicle mode), and a yellow dump truck (which is Payload's vehicle mode), now you might say hasbro just repainted their Revenge Of The Fallen Long Haul to make more money on the figure and that the dump truck on the cliff is Long Haul because the sunlight makes it look yellow when is actually green, but that's not true because Long Haul appears next to Skids and Mudflap before combining and Skids and Mudflap weren't on a cliff when that happened. as for Skipjack you might say that takara tomy did the same thing hasbro does, and repainted hasbro's Hunt For The Decepticons legends class Rampage to make more money on the toy and they are actually two robots with the same body-type with different colors and because of that the decepticons decided to name them both as Rampage, but i'll have to disagree, because Rampage is red and Skipjack is yellow, because they share the same body-type, and this concept of different colors on multiple robots with the same body-type is used to be much easier to know who is who, just like Scavenger and Demolishor, which share the same body-type but have different colors, well that's it i hope you understand what i'm trying to explain here, thanks! -- [[User:Transformersbrasil|Transformersbrasil]] ([[User talk:Transformersbrasil|talk]]), 2:26, 13 February 2020 (EST)

Talk:Unknown Constructicon dump truck

2020-02-13T17:32:29Z

Transformersbrasil: i want to know his name please!

I'm pretty sure he doesn't help form Devastator's leg. That leg is ENTIRELY green, just like Long Haul, and it only has four wheels. If this other dump truck were included, it'd have more than four wheels and some non-green parts. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 22:03, 3 November 2009 (EST)

:''Skipjack is a [[Decepticon]] [[Constructicon (ROTF)|Constructicon]] from the [[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (franchise)|Revenge of the Fallen]] portion of the [[live-action film series]] [[continuity family]].''
'''Skipjack''' is a [[Constructicon (ROTF)|Constructicon]] who looks a lot like [[Rampage (ROTF)|Rampage]]. Because of this, he can form the left foot of [[Devastator (ROTF)|Devastator]] whenever Rampage is [[Bumblebee (Movie)|preoccupied]] in battle.

[[Image:ROTF-RampageandUnknowndumptruck.jpg|thumb|right|250px|For those of you who thought [[FIRRIB]] was too retreaded, here's "RIRRIY"!]]

===''Revenge of the Fallen'' film===

During [[Operation: Firestorm]] in [[Egypt]], Skipjack became part of [[Devastator (ROTF)|Devastator]], attacking former [[Sector Seven]] agent [[Seymour Simmons]], [[Leo Spitz]], [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] and [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]]. as Devastator smashed away at the [[Great Pyramid of Giza]] after shrugging off Skids and Mudflap, Simmons called upon the [[United States Navy]] to fire upon the giant Decepticon. The [[United States Navy#U.S.S. Kidd (DDG-100)|U.S.S. ''Kidd'']] fired her experimental [[rail gun]], smashing one of his arms to pieces and destroying Devastator. {{storylink|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen}}

*'''Skipjack''' (EZ Collection, 2010)
:Skipjack is a Japanese exclusive yellow redeco of [[Transformers (2010 toyline)#HFTD|''Hunt for the Decepticons'']] Legends Class [[Rampage (ROTF)#Transformers (2010)|Rampage]]. Because he is not encumbered with the need to combine, both his robot and vehicle modes are much more accurate and detailed. His "jackhammer" mode can be achieved by connecting his legs together and flipping his cab-feet down as the tip (as per the [[stock photography|stock photos]]), although he will not be able to stand up well. Meanwhile, his [[instructions]] depict a more stable biped configuration, with his legs spread out and his cab-feet folded back in their vehicle mode position as his "heels".

**''Accessories'': 2 hand blasters, base, "[[Operation: Firestorm|Pyramid Desert Battle]]" backdrop

:''[[Studio Series]]'' "Constructicon Skipjack" is a yellow redeco of [[Rampage_(ROTF)#Generations|Rampage]]. He comes with two blasters made from the pistons in vehicle mode that can be placed inside his hand, and a cardboard backdrop display depicting [[Operation: Firestorm]]. The figure also comes with a base to help him stand, which can be stored between both treads in vehicle mode.

:Skipjack can be combined with the other ''Studio Series'' [[Constructicon (ROTF)#Generations|Constructicons]] to form [[Devastator (ROTF)#Generations|Devastator]]. Due to the way Rampage had been colored, Skipjack can be used in place of him to give Devastator a screen-accurate color scheme.

*"Skipjack" was the preliminary name for Rampage during production of ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'', and this name (along with [[Demolishor (ROTF)|Demolishor]]'s "Wheelbot") was used in the credits for the voice actors. In Rampage's case, this can be considered ''definitely'' inaccurate, as the toys' name "Rampage" is used in a subtitle in the movie, thus making the name in the credits the odd one out.
* The stock photography (top of the article) for both EZ Collection Skipjack and [[Payload (Movie)|Payload]] depicts them in shades that hew closer to orange than the yellow they came out in. Whether this was an artifact of the photographic process or an intentional plastic color-change is uncertain. Additionally, [[TakaraTomy]]'s website calls the toy Rampage rather than Skipjack.

===Foreign names===
*''Japanese:'' '''Skipjack''' (スキップジャック ''Sukippujakku'')

:''Rampage is a [[Decepticon]] [[Constructicon (ROTF)|Constructicon]] from the [[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (franchise)|Revenge of the Fallen]] portion of the [[Live-action film series|live-action film]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:HftDRampageWallpaper.jpg|thumb|350px|Try yellow, it's the new red.]]

'''Rampage''' (alias '''Lasher''' and '''Whipmaster'''<ref>"The Most Wanted Decepticons" card from Rampage Among The Ruins</ref>) is a pretty violent guy. A member of the [[Constructicon (ROTF)|Constructicons]], he can be followed by the trail of destruction as he wrecks his way through the battlefield, leaving the smell of diesel fumes and hot tar in his wake. His chassis is covered with scratches, dings and dents as a testament to his intense love of battle. Thoroughly whacked in the cranial unit, his idea of beauty is a pile of [[Autobot]] wreckage.

There are at least two 'bots of the same model with the the differences being that one is red, and the other is yellow: the red one is Rampage while the yellow one is [[Skipjack (ROTF)|Skipjack]] and they both form the left foot of [[Devastator (ROTF)|Devastator]] so if Skipjack is preoccupied in battle, rampage can take his place by forming devastator's left foot.
==Fiction==
===''Revenge of the Fallen'' film===
{{voiceactor|[[Kevin Michael Richardson]] (credited as "Skipjack")}}

After [[Ravage (ROTF)|Ravage]] retrieved the shard from [[Diego Garcia]], he led Rampage, [[Long Haul (ROTF)|Long Haul]], [[Mixmaster (ROTF)|Mixmaster]], [[Scalpel (ROTF)|Scalpel]] and [[Scrapmetal (ROTF)|a smaller Constructicon]] to the depths of the [[Laurentian Abyss]]. When Scalpel examined [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]'s corpse, he ordered the larger Constructicons to kill "ze little one" for donor parts, which they obliged.

[[Image:ROTF_movie_BumblebeevsRampage.jpg|thumb|250px|I can't feel my legs! ...Oh, right.]]

Rampage reappeared during the battle in the Egyptian town to lure [[Sam Witwicky]] into a trap by releasing his captive parents, [[Ron Witwicky|Ron]] and [[Judy Witwicky|Judy]]. Sam was willing to trade the remains of the [[Matrix of Leadership|Matrix]] for his parents, but when he realised Bumblebee had arrived, managed to position Rampage for an attack. After a long battle (which also resulted in the death of Ravage), Bumblebee finished Rampage by ripping his arms off and over-extending his neck with a powerful kick, killing him.

[[Image:ROTF Rampage dead.jpg|thumb|left|250px|I told you not to go there!]]

{{storylink|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen}}

{{note|Rampage's involvement in the preceding events, or events mostly similar, were also chronicled in the novel ''[[The Last Prime]]''; the comic mini-series ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Official Movie Adaptation]]''; and the storybooks "[[I Am Optimus Prime (ROTF)|I Am Optimus Prime]]" and "[[Rise of the Decepticons]]".}}

===IDW movie comics===
Rampage's body type was one of the early "construction drones" used to build [[Star Harvester]]s. One of the Rampages, who was neither red ''nor'' yellow, joined [[the Fallen]]'s original Decepticons. He tried to battle the turncoat [[Jetfire (Movie)|Jetfire]] and was quickly taken out. {{storylink|Tales of the Fallen issue 3|Tales of the Fallen #3}} {{storylink|Tales of the Fallen issue 4|Tales of the Fallen #4}}

===Toy bios===
Rampage and [[Sideways (ROTF)|Sideways]] burst from their cover when they found [[Breakaway (ROTF)|Breakaway]] and [[Longarm (Movie)|Longarm]] hunting them. While Sideways battled Longarm through the streets, Rampage's incredible strength made him more than a match for Breakaway. {{storylink|#StrikeMission|Autobot Strike Mission toy bio}}

He also hated that [[Landmine (Movie)|Landmine]]. {{storylink|#LandmineVsRampage|Landmine VS Rampage}}

His last known location during the [[Hunt for the Decepticons]] was a junkyard in Chicago, where he was recuperating from heavy damage (presumably that suffered in Egypt at the hands of Bumblebee). {{storylink|#RampageAmongTheRuins|Rampage Among The Ruins}}

====Legends Class toys====
[[Image:ROTF_Legends_Rampage.jpg|thumb|300px|Also known as Rampage three legs.]]
*'''Decepticon Rampage''' (Legends, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''D3'''

:Rampage and the six other [[Legends Class (2005)|Legends Class]] Constructicons combine to form [[Devastator (ROTF)|Devastator]]. In Japan, the Legends Class Constructicons were sold individually. Unlike the Deluxe toy, he does not feature a "standard" robot mode, but has the (in fiction) jackhammer mode. Also unlike the Deluxe toy, he can stand in this mode. Rampage forms the left leg of Devastator.

:This mold was also used to make [[Bonecrusher (ROTF Constructicon)|Bonecrusher]] for the Japanese-exclusive Generation 1-colored Devastator set.

{{anchor|LegendsHasbro}}
*'''Constructicon Devastator''' (Legends figure multi-pack, 2010)

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

*'''Decepticon Rampage Desert Combat''' (Legends Class figure, 2009)

: A red [[redeco]] of Rampage was made available as an exclusive to Japanese [[Toys"R"Us|ToysЯUs]] stores on [[November 21]], 2009. Limited to 4000 pieces, he came as a free gift with the purchase of 3000 yen of TakaraTomy ''Transformers'' product.

====Deluxe Class toys====
[[Image:ROTF deluxe Rampage.jpg|right|300px|thumb|He can whip it.]]
*'''Rampage''' (Deluxe, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RD-06'''

:Rampage transforms from a yellow bulldozer similar to a Komatsu D575A into one of two robot mode configurations, the first of which (his actual in-fiction robot form) is distinctly [[Vehicon (BM)|Vehicon]]-esque. It lacks any functional legs, instead featuring a spring-loaded "jackhammer" assembly. When the figure is bounced along the ground in this mode, his [[Mech Alive]] feature is activated, and a pair of pistons that frame his head pump back and forth. The shovel can be removed in this mode and used as a stand. If legs are preferred, his jackhammer splits and his elaborate [[kibble]] backpack unfolds, together forming four leg-struts to create a free-standing robot form that is rather centaurian in design. Though not mentioned in the instructions or package, the aforementioned backpack can remain folded in robot mode for a more movie-accurate, two-legged 'play' mode of sorts. He features real rubber treads which become arm-mounted whip weapons in robot mode. Unfortunately, due to this design, the treads themselves do not function in vehicle mode.

:Like several toys in the ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' toyline, Rampage has had a mold change done somewhere between his instructions being drawn up and the final version of the toy. On the final toy, the rear flap behind the cabin of the bulldozer runs into a screw section used to hold the robot pelvis together. This change also affects where the rear flap and the bulldozer shovel connect in robot mode. On the instructions, this flap is shown as folding flat against the back of the vehicle and said flap is also folded down much farther in robot mode to connect to the shovel. The mold change seems to account for the shovel connection issue in robot mode, but not the problem in vehicle mode. Unlike some others, this change does not directly affect any of the toy's action features or articulation.

[[Image:ROTF_Deluxe_Red_Rampage.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Has probably never fought [[Depth Charge (BW)|Depth Charge]], sadly.]]
*'''Rampage''' (Deluxe, 2010)

:As a redeco of Rampage's first deluxe class toy in red, this release of Rampage represents a more [[show-accuracy|movie accurate]] version of the Rampage who fought Bumblebee in Egypt. Hasbro's version of red Rampage is a straight colour swap, with his yellow plastic replaced with red plastic. As one of the last two figures released in the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' deluxe assortment, the red version of Rampage and his casemate [[Evac (Movie)|Evac]] were insanely difficult (if not impossible) to find in U.S. retail stores.

*'''Decepticon Rampage Desert Combat''' (Deluxe, 2010)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RD-21'''

:TakaraTomy has gone further than Hasbro with their version of red Rampage, here called Decepticon Rampage Desert Combat, redecoing his shovel blade to match the one used on the Rampage prop vehicle seen in the movie (including horizontal lines to match the slatted look of the prop), and having a more screen-accurate colour scheme overall.

====Combiner Class toys====
[[Image:TF-ROTF-Combiner-Class-Devastator-Rampage.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|He joined the Constructicons since Bob the Builder didn't want him.]]
*'''Constructicon Devastator''' (2009)

:Rampage is the yellow Caterpillar D11 bulldozer that transforms into the left leg of Devastator. Like the other Constructicons in this set, he does not have an individual robot mode. He can only form Devastator's left leg, unless you want him to walk backwards. He has the code "AN-KA 111308" imprinted below his Decepticon symbol.

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

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

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

===''Transformers'' (2010)===
[[Image:TF2010-toy_Legends_Rampage.jpg|right|300px|thumb|I peench]]
*'''Rampage''' (Legends, 2010)

:This Legends Class Rampage is an all-new mold that is different from ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Legends Class Rampage. Because he is not encumbered with the need to combine, both his robot and vehicle modes are much more accurate and detailed. His "jackhammer" mode can be achieved by connecting his legs together and flipping his cab-feet down as the tip (as per the [[stock photography|stock photos]]), although he will not be able to stand up well. Meanwhile, his [[instructions]] depict a more stable biped configuration, with his legs spread out and his cab-feet folded back in their vehicle mode position as his "heels".

:This mold was redecoed into [[Skipjack (ROTF)|Skipjack]].

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

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

:He's also still Rampage, whereas TakaraTomy's version is a different character named [[Bonecrusher (ROTF Constructicon)|Bonecrusher]].

:This retailer exclusive multi-pack recreates the scene in ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' where the Constructicons resurrect Megatron. The Rampage figure itself appears to be an unchanged version from the Revenge of the Fallen release of the Legends Constructicon Devastator combiner figure, and comes packed with (apparently) similarly unchanged Constructicon Devastator figures of [[Long Haul (ROTF)#MegatronRising|Long Haul]], [[Mixmaster (ROTF)#MegatronRising|Mixmaster]], a red redeco of [[Scrapper (ROTF)#MegatronRising|Scrapper]], and a metallic green redeco of ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Voyager Class [[Megatron (Movie)/toys#MegatronRising|Megatron]].

:Released in time for the tenth anniversary of ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'', ''[[Studio Series]]'' "Constructicon Rampage" is an all-new Voyager Class figure accurate to the character's appearance in ''Revenge of the Fallen'', complete with tiny painted warning labels in his armpits. He comes with two blasters made from the pistons in vehicle mode that can be placed inside his hand, and a cardboard backdrop display depicting [[Operation: Firestorm]]. The figure also comes with a base to help him stand, which can be stored between both treads in vehicle mode.

:Unfortunately, all releases of Rampage suffer from a major misassembly: The joint that connects the upper and lower torsos, featureing a sculpted robot waist and a transmission unit, is flipped compared to the CG stock renders, resulting in the robot waist being present in bulldozer mode. The misassembly does not affect the transformation, though the pinned construction of the joint means it is risky to swap it around.

:More unfortunately, his treads cannot fold out as whips.

:Rampage can be combined with the other ''Studio Series'' [[Constructicon (ROTF)#Generations|Constructicons]] to form [[Devastator (ROTF)#Generations|Devastator]]. Despite this, the figure is colored like the red Rampage that battles Bumblebee, rather than the yellow one who forms Devastator's leg. Rampage was later redecoed into [[Skipjack_(ROTF)#Studio_Series|Skipjack]].

He has through-axle construction similar to the ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' [[Go-Bot (G2)|Go-Bot]]s, letting him zip along smooth surfaces (and compatible racetrack sets) at high speed.

{{--}}

==Notes==
*Although his correct, finalized name is used in the film (in on-screen subtitles, to be precise), Rampage is listed in the credits under his preliminary name of "'''Skipjack'''". Much confusion ensued, since nobody had actually heard this preliminary name before. As seen in [http://www.otca.com.au/boards/showthread.php?p=137233#post137233 concept art], during production, Rampage was referred to as "'''Jumping Jack'''". [[TakaraTomy]] later used the name Skipjack for a [[Skipjack (ROTF)|yellow redeco of the 2010 Legends class Rampage toy]].
*Starscream calls the red Rampage by name in the film. Secondary sources such as the Devastator toys and the [[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen: The Movie Universe|The Movie Universe]] name the yellow Devastator components as Rampage. So, not only do the Decepticons have the same body-form, they have the same name. While other Constructicons have doubles, Rampage is the only one where all the versions of him are explicitly named.
*Due to his small size, Skipjack combines with [[Payload (Movie)|Payload]] to form Devastator's leg in the film. Another [[Scrapmetal (ROTF)|Scrapmetal]] forms the left hand (with [[Hightower (ROTF)|Hightower]] as the arm).
*Both the Robot Hero and the Mega Powerbot version of Devastator depict Rampage as orange. No separate toy of him had been released in this color until the ''Studio Series'' figure.

==Notes==
*"Skipjack" was the preliminary name for Rampage during production of ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'', and this name (along with [[Demolishor (ROTF)|Demolishor]]'s "Wheelbot") was used in the credits for the voice actors. In Rampage's case, this can be considered ''definitely'' inaccurate, as the toys' name "Rampage" is used in a subtitle in the movie, thus making the name in the credits the odd one out.
* The stock photography (top of the article) for both EZ Collection Skipjack and [[Payload (Movie)|Payload]] depicts them in shades that hew closer to orange than the yellow they came out in. Whether this was an artifact of the photographic process or an intentional plastic color-change is uncertain. Additionally, [[TakaraTomy]]'s website calls the toy Rampage rather than Skipjack.

The '''Constructicons''' are a group of Decepticons that take the form of various construction vehicles, many sharing alternate modes, [[body-type]]s and even names. Constructicons have been built since the dawn of the Transformer race, and used to be considered simple [[drone]]s.<ref>[[Tales of the Fallen issue 3|''Tales of the Fallen'' #3]]</ref>

Unlike previous continuities, it seems as if only ''some'', not all, of the Constructicons are [[combiner]]s. They combine into [[Devastator (ROTF)|Devastator]].

[[File:ROTFMegatronrebirth.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|Can we fix him? Yes we can!]]
[[NEST]] followed Demolishor to [[Shanghai]], [[China]], and he was executed by [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]].

After the [[AllSpark]] shard was retrieved from NEST's secure bunker at [[Diego Garcia]], [[Long Haul (ROTF)|Long Haul]], [[Rampage (ROTF)|Rampage]], [[Mixmaster (ROTF)|Mixmaster]], [[Scalpel (ROTF)|Scalpel]], [[Ravage (ROTF)|Ravage]] and [[Scrapmetal (ROTF)|Scrapmetal]] secreted themselves aboard the ''[[Bayos]]'' freighter heading towards the North Atlantic. Once the ship passed over the [[Laurentian Abyss]], the Decepticons jumped overboard and dived down to where [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]'s broken body lay. Scalpel ordered the death of [[Scrapmetal (ROTF)|Scrapmetal]] to rebuild Megatron, a request that Long Haul and Mixmaster readily granted. Soon, Megatron was reborn!

[[File:Constructicons-ROTFcanyon.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.67|You'd better have a good reason for bringing us here!]]
Long Haul and [[Hightower (ROTF)|Hightower]] waited in a quarry near the [[Egypt]]ian [[pyramid]]s for Mixmaster to arrive with [[Skipjack (ROTF)|Skipjack]], [[Scrapper (ROTF)|Scrapper]], [[Scavenger (ROTF)|Scavenger]], [[Overload (ROTF)|Overload]], [[Payload (Movie)|Payload]] and [[Scrapmetal (ROTF)|Scrapmetal]], and they combined into [[Devastator (ROTF)|Devastator]]. Devastator battled [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] and [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]], before climbing up the [[Great Pyramid of Giza]] to excavate the [[Star Harvester]] within. Devastator was blown up by an experimental [[rail gun]] fired by the [[United States Navy#U.S.S. Kidd (DDG-100)|USS ''Kidd'']].

Elsewhere during [[Operation: Firestorm]], Long Haul, Scrapper, Mixmaster and Rampage hunted for [[Sam Witwicky]] in an abandoned town. Rampage was ordered by [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] to spring a trap by demanding Sam hand over the [[Matrix of Leadership]] in exchange for his captive parents [[Ron Witwicky|Ron]] and [[Judy Witwicky|Judy]], but [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] attacked and killed him. [[Jetfire (Movie)|Jetfire]] killed Mixmaster, while the others died in a bombing raid by the [[United States Air Force]]. {{storylink|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen}}

===IDW comics===
[[File:Defiance4 Constructicons.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|The Constructicons build a monument to their manhood.]]
In the distant past, the [[AllSpark]] Cube created the [[Dynasty of Primes]], a race of powerful, trans-dimensional beings as the first inhabitants of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. The Cube gave these beings mighty powers, as well as terraforming their world, but it was not limitless, and gradually became depleted. The first beings learned that the AllSpark's power could be replenished by harvesting the energy of stars, but they were unable to locate new stars to suit their purposes, despite their amazing ability to travel between dimensions. Once again, the Cube came to the rescue, creating a race of workers, who had the ability to change their shape.

The "builder" workers were among the very first of these new beings, who would construct a [[Star Harvester|harvester]] when a suitable sun had been found. Once built, the device would drain the energy of these stars, thus replenishing the AllSpark. {{Storylink|Defiance issue 4|Defiance #4}} The Primes ruled harvesters could not be used on a sun that replenished life, but one of them began to defy this rule and gathered together a few rogue "construction drones" and a [[Seeker (ROTF)|Seeker]] to secretly harvest suns and ignoring the genocide they caused. The other Primes found out and followed them to [[Earth]], and [[The Fallen]] Prime teleported his servants elsewhere, but the Seeker [[Jetfire (Movie)|Jetfire]] turned on the builders and killed them. {{Storylink|Tales of the Fallen issue 3|Tales of the Fallen #3}}

It is assumed that at some point during the civil war on Cybertron, the remaining builders sided with [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]], the new protege of their only surviving ancient master, The Fallen. In Megatron's [[Decepticon]] army, they became known as the Constructicons. In at least one battle, [[Devastator (ROTF)|Devastator]] was present. {{storylink|Tales of the Fallen issue 2|Tales of the Fallen #2}}

There were many Constructicons aboard the ''[[Nemesis (ROTF)|Nemesis]]'', as they were needed to excavate the harvester. [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] did not consider them smart enough to be allowed on the bridge. When the ''Nemesis'' and ''[[Ark (DOTM)|Ark]]'' collided, Soundwave had them placed in the cargo hold of the ''[[Longshot (DOTM)|Longshot]]'' when they gave pursuit of the Autobot ship. {{storylink|Convergence chapter 1}} When they returned to the ''Nemesis'', the Constructicons grumbled at almost immediately having to return to [[Earth]], so Soundwave placed them in stasis. {{storylink|Convergence chapter 4}}

During the war, [[Demolishor (ROTF)|Demolishor]] destroyed an [[Autobot]] colony guarded by [[Sideswipe (Movie)|Sideswipe]], who swore revenge and tracked him to [[Buenos Aires]], Argentina. The Constructicon drew out Sideswipe but fled when [[NEST]] forces led by [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] and [[William Lennox]] arrived. {{storylink|Tales of the Fallen issue 2|Tales of the Fallen #2}}

[[File:Constructicons ROTF adaptation 3.jpg|thumb|upright=1.67|Details are for chumps.]]
[[Scavenger (ROTF)|Scavenger]], [[Long Haul (ROTF)|Long Haul]], [[Scrapper (ROTF)|Scrapper]], [[Overload (ROTF)|Overload]], and [[Mixmaster (ROTF)|Mixmaster]] arrived in Egypt together along with other Constructicons and Decepticons to battle the Autobots.
{{storylink|Revenge of the Fallen issue 3|Revenge of the Fallen #3}}

Some of the Constructicons combined into Devastator and revealed the star harvester hidden beneath a pyramid. Devastator was destroyed by a prototype [[rail gun]] soon afterwards. At the same time, [[Rampage (ROTF)|Rampage]] and Long Haul fought in the battle and were defeated by Bumblebee and Jetfire, respectively. {{storylink|Revenge of the Fallen issue 4|Revenge of the Fallen #4}}

===''The Veiled Threat''===
The Constructions [[Kickback (ROTF)|Kickback]], [[Trample]], and [[Tread]] came to Earth hoping to be able to revive their leader [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]. They were mining for uranium in the [[Australia]]n outback in the hopes that if they collected enough energy, they could jump-start Megatron's spark.

[[NEST]] became aware of their presence when they picked up their intermittent energy signatures. They sent a strike team consisting of [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]], [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]], [[Salvage (Movie)|Salvage]], [[William Lennox]], and [[Kaminari Ishihara]] to take care of them. The three Constructicons put up a good fight but were killed. {{storylink|Transformers: The Veiled Threat|The Veiled Threat}}

The Decepticons recovered Devastator's remains, and brought them to the peaks of [[British Columbia]], [[Canada]], so that the behemoth could be repaired by a squad of Constructicon drone units. These drones appeared to be a model of [[purple generic drone]]s, and had both crane and front load shovel forms. That nasty [[Stratosphere]] blew up the poor drones and then destroyed the half-rebuilt Devastator. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.14|Head in the Clouds}}

:Like the on-screen combiner, but unlike the Supreme Class Devastator toy, the ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' Legends Class Devastator comprises seven Constructicons, including the elusive [[Overload (ROTF)#Toys|Overload]], each with individual robot modes. Because of this, he is a lot more complex than the Supreme class toy, with a more "layered" look than his movie counterpart had. Devastator is (roughly) Deluxe sized while standing up. The only real drawback he has is that he almost has no articulation. But hey, you can't have everything, right?

:In [[Hasbro]]'s markets, this Devastator set was available as a [[Walmart]] [[exclusive]] in North America, an Argos exclusive in the UK and a Farmers exclusive in New Zealand, packaged in a currently-unique clear box in gestalt mode. A huge two-sided instruction sheet explains transformation in both directions from gestalt to vehicles and vehicles to robots, with the curious note that "Some poses may require hand support".

:In [[Japan]], the Constructicon team members were available individually. Unlike the usual EZ collection toys, the Constructicons are not blind packed but packed in much the same way as Hasbro's Legends Class releases.

*'''EZ Collection Devastator - G1 Colors Version''' (Legends Class multi-pack, 2010)
:Takara reissued the seven Legends Class Constructicons in G1 inspired green and purple color schemes. He even comes packaged in the same clear box set the Hasbro version used.

:This configuration of Devastator includes [[Hook (ROTF)#Toys|Hook]] as the left arm and [[Bonecrusher (ROTF Constructicon)#Toys|Bonecrusher]] as the left leg.
{{-}}

====Deluxe Class toys====
[[Image:ROTF deluxe Rampage.jpg|300px|thumb]]
*'''Rampage''' (Deluxe Class, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RD-06'''

:Rampage transforms from a yellow bulldozer similar to a Komatsu D575A into one of two robot mode configurations, the first of which (his actual in-fiction robot form) is distinctly [[Vehicon (BM)|Vehicon]]-esque. It lacks any functional legs, instead featuring a spring-loaded "jackhammer" assembly. When the figure is bounced along the ground in this mode, his [[Mech Alive]] feature is activated, and a pair of pistons that frame his head pump back and forth. The shovel can be removed in this mode and used as a stand. If legs are preferred, his jackhammer splits and his elaborate [[kibble]] backpack unfolds, together forming four leg-struts to create a free-standing robot form that is rather centaurian in design. Though not mentioned in the instructions or package, the aforementioned backpack can remain folded in robot mode for a more movie-accurate, two-legged 'play' mode of sorts. He features real rubber treads which become arm-mounted whip weapons in robot mode. Unfortunately, due to this design, the treads themselves do not function in vehicle mode.

:Like several toys in the ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' toyline, Rampage has had a mold change done somewhere between his instructions being drawn up and the final version of the toy. On the final toy, the rear flap behind the cabin of the bulldozer runs into a screw section used to hold the robot pelvis together. This change also affects where the rear flap and the bulldozer shovel connect in robot mode. On the instructions, this flap is shown as folding flat against the back of the vehicle and said flap is also folded down much farther in robot mode to connect to the shovel. The mold change seems to account for the shovel connection issue in robot mode, but not the problem in vehicle mode. Unlike some others, this change does not directly affect any of the toy's action features or articulation.

{{-}}{{anchor|RedDeluxe}}
[[File:ROTF_Deluxe_Red_Rampage.jpg|300px|thumb]]
*'''Rampage''' (Deluxe Class, 2010)

:As a redeco of Rampage's first Deluxe Class toy in red, this release of Rampage represents a more [[show-accuracy|movie accurate]] version of the Rampage who fought Bumblebee in Egypt. Hasbro's version of red Rampage is a straight colour swap, with his yellow plastic replaced with red plastic. As one of the last two figures released in the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Deluxe Class assortment, the red version of Rampage and his casemate [[Evac (Movie)|Evac]] were insanely difficult (if not impossible) to find in U.S. retail stores.
{{-}}

====Voyager Class toys====
[[Image:ROTF Voyager Demolishor.jpg|300px|thumb]]
*'''Demolishor''' (Voyager Class, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RD-03'''

:Demolishor transforms from a red [http://www.mining-power.de/rh400/erh400.html Terex RH400 mining excavator] into a unique robot mode via a surprisingly complex transformation. His [[Mech Alive]] gimmick in robot mode is a drum in each arm that spins when you move his lower arm (not in the shoulders as the packaging call out states). He has real rubber treads that sadly can't move, and no little plastic wheels that help it move either. He is almost impossible to stand up—let alone pose—but it ''can'' be managed.

:In the film, Demolishor's vehicle mode features a lot more white. This toy's colors are actually a match to [[Scavenger (ROTF)|Scavenger's]] colors.

:Like several ''Revenge of the Fallen'' toys, such as [[Starscream (Movie)/toys#Voyager_Class_toys_2|Voyager Class Starscream]] and [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#Leader_Class_toys_2|Leader Class Optimus Prime]], Demolishor is yet another victim of late mold changes due to 2008-2009 economic problems. On the back of the box, his treads are pictured as being made of several individual, linked plastic sections. The sections were apparently recast as a single rubber tread ring instead for the final toy.

:Also, left out on the instruction was that the shovel "teeth"/robot mode fingers are articulated (albeit via a very tight joint).
{{-}}

[[File:Mixmaster ROTF Voyager toy.jpg|thumb|400px]]
*'''Mixmaster''' (Voyager Class, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RD-12'''
**''Accessories:'' Missile

:''Revenge of the Fallen'' Voyager Class Mixmaster transforms into a gray and silver cement mixer with purple windows and headlights, based loosely on the {{w|Mack Trucks|Mack Granite}} truck seen in the film. The vehicle mode's mixing drum is incapable of rotating due to the transformation, but does boast a pair of gigantic Decepticon logos on either side. The cement chute at the rear of the vehicle mode can accurately raise and lower on a hinge, and the cannon can be fixed to fire directly overhead or behind at pursuing vehicles.

:His robot mode is designed to be squat with very long arms, but in order to be fully functional and look like the stock photo, his legs at the hip joints must be slightly mistransformed from what is depicted in his instructions. This results in a robot mode that is very thin and lanky, with numerous joints on the extremely long arms alone. The packaging calls out [[Mech Alive]] gimmickry in the form of "spinning gears" on his chest, but the feature is only present at the thighs and forearms, which reveal shifting internal bits when the joints are rotated. The robot mode's missile-firing cannon is locked in place on its back pointing straight upward; it can be raised over Mixmaster's head, although this involves letting the cab hang loose on his back as it's designed to attach to the cannon. Alternately the toy can be transformed to its artillery cannon-like Battle Mode that has him essentially performing a belly flop, letting the launcher fire forward. At least, according to the Battle Mode's official depiction on the instructions.

[[File:ROTFVoyager_MixmasterBattleMode.JPG|thumb|left|250px|BUMM]]
:The instructions and the box pictures show the joint that attaches the cab to the robot to be inverted, with the released toy having the cab joint [[Misassembly|upside-down]] as compared with what is in the instructions and box pictures. Out of the box, the toy cannot exactly mimic the battle mode of the instructions or [[stock photography|stock photo]]s, but it's close enough for most people to assume they were doing something wrong until one realizes this mis-assembly. The joint can be corrected by the removal and re-attachment of the metal pin behind the front-bumper, but this is not as easy as it sounds and may potentially be damaging to the toy. This only applies to the Hasbro version of the instructions, however, as the Japanese Takara release had instructions depicting a completely different battle mode, which utilised the joint in the direction it is assembled, as well as pegs and holes present on the rear wheel segments and the inside of the cab respectively.

:The image of the cement mixer mode on the packaging has been flipped horizontally as well, leaving the location of the ladder switched. Additionally, the robot mode image on the packaging has a different mold for the mixing drum shells, with rectangular-shaped pegs rather than circular.

[[Image:ROTF-toy_GreenMixmaster.jpg|thumb|300px]]
{{anchor|Back Road Brawl}}
*'''Back Road Brawl''' (multi-pack, 2009)
**''Accessories:'' Missile

:Available only in the [[Toys"R"Us]]-[[exclusive]] "Back Road Brawl" figure pack with [[Hoist (Movie)|Hoist]], this release of Mixmaster features a new head that was gang-molded to Mixmaster, but until now went unused. His colour scheme has been extensively [[redeco]]ed in a layout resembling the [[The Transformers (franchise)|Generation 1]] [[Constructicon (G1)|Constructicons]]. He is decorated with a small [[tampograph]] reading "Ol' Lefty", a reference to how Generation 1 [[Mixmaster (G1)|Mixmaster]] formed [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]]'s left leg.

:He retains the mis-assembled cab joint/faulty instructions.

{{-}}

[[File:ROTF Voyager LongHaul.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66]]
*'''Long Haul''' (Voyager Class, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RD-17'''

:Part of ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Voyager Class wave 5, Long Haul transforms from a green genericized "earth mover" dump truck with a functional truck bed into a bulky [[robot mode]]. In robot mode, he has three [[Mech Alive]] gimmicks in which turning his head also turns a cog in his chest, while bending his elbows moves some pistons and finally the "springs" connected to his feet move inwards when moving them. Only the piston gimmick is advertised on the packaging. Meanwhile, each forearm houses a spring-loaded flip-out sword.

:Long Haul was packaged in vehicle mode in very limited numbers before a [[Variant|running change]] packaged him in robot mode.
{{-}}

====Combiner Class toys====
[[File:ROTF Devastator combiner toy.jpg|300px|thumb|Actually movie accurate... [[Overload (ROTF)|NOT.]]]]
*'''Constructicon Devastator''' (2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RD-16'''

:Devastator is formed from the combination of six transforming construction vehicle toys that do not have individual robot modes. Unlike [[Duocon|prior]] [[Optimus Prime (Armada)/toys#Energon|cases]] of this format, Devastator's vehicles represent separate Transformers, [[Scavenger (ROTF)#Combiner Class toys|and]] [[Rampage (ROTF)#Combiner Class toys|most]] [[Long Haul (ROTF)#Combiner Class toys|of]] [[Mixmaster (ROTF)#Combiner Class toys|them]] have other non-combiner toys that ''do'' have robot modes.

:Despite the figure's complex appearance (from the front anyway), the limbs' transformations into combined mode are rather simple. Fortunately, this makes him a lot easier to muck with than some of the other larger-scale ''Revenge of the Fallen'' toys. This is good, because Devastator is ENORMOUS. His smallest limbs (his legs) are the size of Deluxe-class toys, and his largest components are bigger than Leader-class toys. While the legs can not be swapped (unless for some reason you want a backwards walking Devastator), the arms can be swapped around. The pegs meant to plug Rampage and Long Haul into Devastator's hips also fit snugly into the sockets meant for connecting Scrapper and Hightower to Scavenger... if you're inclined to have a random arm connected to a stray leg with no body in between, or a vehicle mode about as useful as a poorly matched [[Micromaster Combiner]] pair.

[[File:TF-ROTF-Supreme-Class-Devastator-(Takara-Tomy).jpg|thumb|left|150px|You've got red on you.]]
:The toy's electronics are all in the Mixmaster component. Pressing the button makes Devastator's mouth open and activates voice clips and engine sounds, as well as green lights in his mouth and eyes. Pressing the button for a few seconds activates his "Vortex grinder". However, the button trigger is so sensitive that he ''never shuts up''. In Devastator mode, his mouth can be locked into the open position by clicking his lower jaw sections into the large tank treads that form his shoulders. His mouth is enormous, and it lights up all pretty and green. He can easily swallow any Legends-class toy and spit it out the other side by opening up the back of his head. Covering Devastator's head when separating him from the torso and turning him back into Mixmaster's vehicle mode activates the transformation noise, and after that somehow makes engine stalling noises without pulling the trigger.

:Sadly, Devastator has a hard time standing on all four of his limbs, and is most stable standing on his hind legs. This is mainly because the most weight is located in the head, and his fingers are not made to hold that weight. He will also look straight to the ground unless you lock his head in place with the lower jaw.

:The Japanese [[TakaraTomy]] release of this figure has extra paint applications on Devastator's face, for a better resemblance to the final CG model.

*'''Rampage''' (Legends Class, 2010)

:This Legends Class Rampage is an all-new mold that is different from the Legends class Rampage that came with Legends Class Constructicon Devastator. Because he is not encumbered with the need to combine, both his robot and vehicle modes are much more accurate and detailed. His "jackhammer" mode can be achieved by connecting his legs together and flipping his cab-feet down as the tip (as per the [[stock photography|stock photos]]), although he will not be able to stand up well.

:Announced to commemorate the 10th anniversary of ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'', ''[[Studio Series]]'' Devastator consists of eight (yes, eight) Constructicons to combine into one mechanical four-legged giant. While being meant to celebrate the tenth anniversary, some members were released in 2020.

:Despite the ''Studio Series'' line's focus on screen-accuracy, Devastator once again omits [[Payload (Movie)|Payload]] (though his truck mode is identical to [[Long Haul (ROTF)|Long Haul]]'s truck mode, albeit, in green), and [[Scrapmetal (ROTF)|Scrapmetal]] transforms into a Volvo excavator (which was the vehicle mode he had before he died) instead of a Caterpillar M9-30 bulldozer with a scoop attachment, (which is the vehicle mode he has when Devastator was formed on-screen). [[Rampage (ROTF)|Rampage]] was redecoed into [[Skipjack (ROTF)|Skipjack]] as an option for a more accurate Devastator. Hasbro will probably also repaint other Constructicons into [[Demolishor (ROTF)|Demolishor]] and [[Payload (Movie)|Payload]] in the future.

==Notes==
*In the [[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (novel)|''Revenge of the Fallen'' novel adaptation]], the four Constructicons that accompany Ravage to the [[Laurentian Abyss]] are not named, but described as bipedal, disqualifying Rampage. This is contradicted by the movie, as the Rampage that later battles [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] is almost certainly one of the four.
*[http://web.archive.org/web/20160324114012/http://www.stevejung.net/gallery/displayimage.php?album=4&pos=10 One abandoned Constructicon concept] by artist [[Steve Jung]] was a "nurse" that would have transformed into a Volvo wheel loader. It is unknown if this character later evolved into the character referred to as [[Scrapmetal (ROTF)|Scrapmetal]], who alternately transformed into a Volvo excavator and a yellow front-end loader.
*Other abandoned Constructicon concepts by Jung include [http://web.archive.org/web/20160324032850/http://www.stevejung.net/gallery/displayimage.php?album=4&pos=11 a rockwheel trencher] and [http://web.archive.org/web/20160324114008/http://www.stevejung.net/gallery/displayimage.php?album=4&pos=12 a clawed crane].

===Constructicons defined===
{{bigquote|There are other Constructicons too, but we only have so much space on the page!|[[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]]|"[[Transformers Comic issue 2.17|Law and Disorder]]"}}

Determining who is and who isn't a Constructicon is a little more problematic than it may first appear. The subgroup is not especially well defined. Over time, ''any'' Decepticon from the 2009 film and related media/toys that has a construction vehicle [[alternate mode]] has been said to be a Constructicon. This is then complicated by the amount of Constructicons with the same name and form as each other, which indicates "Constructicon" is a type of drone... except then, with Constructicon Scouts and the drones in Titan Comics, there are ''explicit'' drones without individual names! Add in that bios and other media have given Constructicons individual personalities, even though they have counterparts: does this mean every Rampage, for example, has anger issues?

Also, the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' film taken by itself does not feature any Constructicons with individual robot modes that also form a part of Devastator. There's only construction vehicles that turn into individual robots, and construction vehicles that combine into Devastator. If one were to only watch the movie and not be aware of the toys or other media, one might come to the conclusion that Devastator is simply a really large member of the Constructicons that splits up into multiple construction vehicles for his alternate mode.

===Foreign names===

2020-02-09T20:29:09Z

Transformersbrasil: Undo revision 1390228 by Escargon (talk) stop being negligent about the changes, i'm just completing Payload's story in the movies.

{{factions|decepticonfilm}}
{{disambig3|Payload}}
:''Payload is a [[Decepticon]], and sometimes [[Constructicon (ROTF)|Constructicon]], from the [[live-action film series]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:Payload-gamedrone.jpg|right|250px|thumb|SWAT? Maybe more like SMITE.]]

Transforming into an exceptionally fast and powerful armored truck, '''Payload''' is the one the Decepticons rely on to procure the money and energy they need to function on Earth. Whatever they need, wherever they need it, in their quest for the [[AllSpark]] it's Payload's job to get it to them, even if he has to smash right through [[Autobot]] lines to do it. What can he say? It's the ''one job he has''. Many of his allies would find his job [[Long Haul (ROTF)|boring and tedious]] compared to open fighting, but Payload not only understands how crucial his role is, he thoroughly enjoys it since it earns him praise for being a reliable soldier.

Both the Autobot and Decepticon armies make use of [[Class Beta drone unit]]s, which are heavily-armored, brutal melee fighters.

on Revenge Of The Fallen Payload is a constructicon and combines with his team to form [[Devastator (ROTF)|Devastator]], becoming the combiners's left leg.

==Fiction==
[[Image:ROTF-RampageandUnknowndumptruck.jpg|right|thumb|300px|Well, I'm not the kind to kiss and tell, But I've been seen with [[Megan Fox|Megan]]. I'm never seen with anything less than a nine, so fine.]]

===''Revenge of the Fallen'' film ===
During the climactic battle in [[Egypt]] between the Autobots, their human allies and [[The Fallen]]'s Decepticons, [[Payload (ROTF)|Payload]] appeared in a quarry with the other Constructicons, and combined with [[Skipjack (ROTF)|Skipjack]] to form [[Devastator (ROTF)|Devastator]]'s leg. When Devastator was destroyed by the experimental [[railgun]] fired from the [[United States Navy#U.S.S. Kidd (DDG-100)|U.S.S. ''Kidd'']], Payload was presumably killed. {{storylink|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen}}

===IDW movie comics===
When Megatron first began his push for domination, Payload was one of the many Cybertronians who listened to Megatron as he rallied his soldiers to push back and slaughter alien invaders. {{storylink|Defiance issue 2|Defiance #2}}

Payload was one of the Decepticons who took part in the Battle of [[Tyger Pax]] on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. He was also with [[Swindle (Movie)|Swindle]] during the interrogation of the surviving [[Autobot]] defenders. {{storylink|Movie Prequel issue 1|Movie Prequel #1}}

[[Image:ReignofStarscream4 Payload.jpg|left|250px|thumb|"Keg coming through!"]]

Payload remained back on Cybertron, under the command of [[Dreadwing (Movie)|Dreadwing]]. When Starscream returned with the knowledge to build a new All Spark, [[Class Beta drone unit|Class Beta drones]] were among those assigned to guard the Autobot slaves who were being forced to build the new Cube. They brutally punished [[Warpath (Movie)|Warpath]] when he saw to the exhausted [[Grindcore (Movie)|Grindcore]]. Later, after the new All Spark was completed, Payload arrived leading a team of drones carrying the massive generators required to drain the [[Spark|life force]] out of the Autobot prisoners and put it into the Cube. He dissed Dreadwing's drone army for not being much help to them. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 3|The Reign of Starscream #3}} {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 4|The Reign of Starscream #4}}

Unfortunately for Starscream, the Cube didn't work, and Dreadwing's forces betrayed him. During the battle between Starscream's loyalists, [[Arcee (Movie)|Arcee's]] Autobots and Dreadwing's traitors, Payload grappled with [[Stockade (Movie)|Stockade]], who eventually got the better of him. His fate is unknown. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 5|The Reign of Starscream #5}}

[[Image:Titan11_Bonecrusher.jpg|250px|thumb|right|"We'll just stand here... you know, just if you need us..."]]
Payload units are used in the occupation of Earth. They have no personality or higher consciousness, their dialogue being things like "Classification: Autobot. Identifying...". [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] smashes them real good. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 10|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 2}}

A team of snazzy red Payloads were used to guard the [[Savannah]] All Spark facility. [[Bonecrusher (Movie)|Bonecrusher]] had them stand down so he could beat up the Autobots himself {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 11|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 3}} and they got so bored they painted themselves blue again between issues. When they were allowed to battle, they almost overwhelmed the Autobot rebels but eventually failed to kill them or save the facility. Also, ''[[Bonecrusher (Movie)|Bonecrusher]]'' smashed them real good simply cos they were in the way. Not the best boss on Earth... {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 13|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 5}}

[[Image:Payloads_Titan24.JPG|left|250px|thumb|''Move bitch, get out the way Get out the way...'']]

An army of Payloads made an assault on oil pipelines in [[Alaska]] as part of a major campaign. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 16|Dark Spark}}

An even ''bigger'' army of them stood around going "GRRRR" as part of a Decepticon group shot when the [[Decepticon Heartland]] prepared for war. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 23|Revolution Part 1}} And an even bigger army than ''that'' served as the bulk of the invasion force when Starscream announced the re-conquest of the USA.

Unfortunately for Starscream, the Payloads under [[Hardtop (Movie)|Hardtop]] were intercepted by [[Stockade (Movie)|Stockade]] and his crew, and [[Fracture (Movie)|Fracture]] reprogrammed the entire platoon to work for ''them''. They became the first defected drones in a [[Decepticon Civil War]], including [[:Image:Titan24_greenMdrone.jpg|some with different colouring schemes]], {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 24|Revolution Part 2}} and soon ''all'' of them were under Stockade's command, since every one that wasn't had been slagged.

Following the sudden Autobot strike that saw every Decepticon exiled from Earth, the Payloads remained. The Autobots have now got the task of decommissioning all of these drones. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 25|Revolution Part 3}}

===''The Veiled Threat''===
{{Note|The events of ''The Veiled Threat'' take place during [[IDW Publishing]]'s ''[[Transformers: Alliance|Alliance]]'' comic.}}
Payload came to Earth in response to [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]]'s signal, sent out after [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]'s death. When Starscream recruited the [[Human Accessory Force]], he joined in a battle to capture a dam construction site in [[Zambia]]. He was skeptical of Starscream's claim that Megatron was truly dead, but accepted [[Macerator (ROTF)|Macerator]]'s word that the recordings of the event clearly showed Megatron being killed. Once the Autobots had come to investigate the Decepticon activity, Payload, Macerator and [[Dropkick (Movie)|Dropkick]] lured them into the Zambezi River to fight. Though Payload managed to keep Ironhide distracted as they neared Victoria Falls, two humans, [[Kaminari Ishihara]] and [[Petr Andronov]] interfered with the fight using strange hi-tech guns, and Payload was forced to retreat.

The three Decepticons proceeded to Kariba Dam, where Payload descended into the gorge and started blasting away at the bottom of the dam, with the intention of rupturing it. When the Autobots caught up with them, Ratchet started attempting to repair the dam, and Payload began firing at him instead. He inflicted heavy damage on Ratchet, however the humans released the floodgates on the dam. Unable to withstand the raging torrent, Payload was swept away. Optimus later spoke of tracking down and terminating the Decepticon, but it's unclear if this was done. {{storylink|Transformers: The Veiled Threat|The Veiled Threat}}

===Toy bios===
[[Image:Payloadpackageart2010.jpg|thumb|right|200px|You can't tell from the picture, but he's having a giggle fit right now.]]
When the [[Decepticon]]s need something delivered, they can turn to the [[Constructicon Warrior]] Payload. His heavily armored and powerful body allows him to simply smash obstacles. [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] is the latest Autobot to get in his way, and Payload is amused that Ratchet thinks he can stop him.

**''Japanese ID number'': '''MD-17'''

: Payload transforms into a [http://www.armoredvehicles.com/armored/swat/Bulldog2.html Bulldog II Armored Truck] model based on the Decepticon-drone coloration and face type. In robot mode, his midsection has a large push-out grabber-claw that extends waaaaaaaaaaaaay far out. Of course, when the claw-shaft stores in robot mode, it sticks equally far out of his back.

: Several pieces on Payload tend to pop off easily: his brush guard, midriff-plate/claw-center, and even his upper shoulder/head assembly. The mold was later retooled to include larger pegs for the shoulder/head assembly and an added tab on the brush-guard, to connect to the new slot in the claw plunger. While this was intended to give the pieces a better fit, it actually puts more pressure on the parts and causes them to pop off even more easily. The chest piece, however, fits fairly well on either version, but is still easy to remove.

: Payload had a tendency to [[Shelfwarmer|sit on shelves]] for weeks, with some examples of end displays filled completely with Payload figures. This has led to some fans affectionately renaming him ''Pegload''.

: The mold was later retooled into ''[[Movie Advanced Series]]'' [[Dispensor]].

In robot mode, he has three "[[Mech Alive]]" gimmicks: turning his head also turns a cog in his chest, bending his elbows moves some pistons, and finally, moving his feet also moves the "springs" connected to them inwards. Only the piston gimmick is advertised on the packaging. Meanwhile, each forearm houses a spring-loaded, flip-out axe.

:Payload has a mild [[variant]], where the purple paint on his head and chest can be very dark and flat or extremely deep and shiny. The latter version seems to be the harder to find, although exact quantities of each are unknown.

==Notes==
* Artist [[Ken Christiansen]] designed Payload (and the subsequent [[Class Beta drone unit]]s), along with the other new characters in the [[Transformers The Game|''Transformers'' - The Game]] and [[Revenge of the Fallen (video games)|''Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen'' - The Game]] video games. The security company logos on his design and the toy, "Armored Security Systems", spells out "ASS". Christiansen says this was [http://badflipblog.blogspot.com/2009/10/tf1-armored-truck-drone.html not intentional].
*A variant of Payload, crudely textured with a shoddily compressed [[Pepsi]] livery, can be found in the internal files for [[Transformers The Game (console)|Transformers The Game]]. It was most likely cut early in development.
* Payload's altmode as an Decepticon anti-aircraft tank in ''The Veiled Threat'' gives him a form similar to that of the unreleased [[Gunbarrel (Movie)|Gunbarrel]] toy, who appeared unnamed in the Transformers: Alliance comic at the same time. Whether they were meant to be the same character is unknown.
* 2010 Payload's packaging bio describes him as an armored transport vehicle and has the same [[Tech Spec]] numbers as 2007 Payload. Sneaky Hasbro, making them the [[character|same guy]]!
* Hasbro has stated in the [[Hasbro Q&A/March 2010: Answers|March 2010 Q&A session]] that 2010 Payload is one of the Constructicon Warriors appearing in the [[Revenge of the Fallen (video games)|''Revenge of the Fallen'' video games]]. Guess he moonlights as an armored truck.
*The stock photography for both EZ Collection [[Skipjack (ROTF)|Skipjack]] and Payload depict them in shades that hew closer to orange than the yellow they came out in. Whether this was an artifact of the photographic process or an intentional plastic color-change is uncertain.
*Though [[Payload (ROTF)|Payload]] has a similar [[alternate mode]] to another one of Devastator's components, [[Long Haul (ROTF)|Long Haul]], he's a different, longer model of dump truck.
*Interestingly, the dump truck that transforms into Supreme Devastator's right leg is supposed to represent Long Haul and is thus green. However, the shape and details of the vehicle look much more like Payload than Long Haul's alt mode. This all comes full circle with ''[[Studio Series]]'' [[Long Haul (ROTF)#Generations|Long Haul]], which uses Payload's truck model as its vehicle mode. This may have been done for scale reasons, to make Long Haul's vehicle mode size fit better with other ''Studio Series'' Constructicons.
*When [[Hasbro_Q%26A/December_2009:_Answers|asked]], Hasbro neither had a name for this poor sod nor recognised his existence as Devastator's leg (saying there were only seven Constructicons in Devastator).

The '''Constructicons''' are a group of Decepticons that take the form of various construction vehicles, many sharing alternate modes, [[body-type]]s and even names. Constructicons have been built since the dawn of the Transformer race, and used to be considered simple [[drone]]s.<ref>[[Tales of the Fallen issue 3|''Tales of the Fallen'' #3]]</ref>

Unlike previous continuities, it seems as if only ''some'', not all, of the Constructicons are [[combiner]]s. They combine into [[Devastator (ROTF)|Devastator]].

[[NEST]] followed Demolishor to [[Shanghai]], [[China]], and he was executed by [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]].

After the [[AllSpark]] shard was retrieved from NEST's secure bunker at [[Diego Garcia]], [[Long Haul (ROTF)|Long Haul]], [[Rampage (ROTF)|Rampage]], [[Mixmaster (ROTF)|Mixmaster]], [[Scalpel (ROTF)|Scalpel]], [[Ravage (ROTF)|Ravage]] and [[Scrapmetal (ROTF)|Scrapmetal]] secreted themselves aboard the ''[[Bayos]]'' freighter heading towards the North Atlantic. Once the ship passed over the [[Laurentian Abyss]], the Decepticons jumped overboard and dived down to where [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]'s broken body lay. Scalpel ordered the death of [[Scrapmetal (ROTF)|Scrapmetal]] to rebuild Megatron, a request that Long Haul and Mixmaster readily granted. Soon, Megatron was reborn!

Long Haul and [[Hightower (ROTF)|Hightower]] waited in a quarry near the [[Egypt]]ian [[pyramid]]s for Mixmaster to arrive with [[Skipjack (ROTF)|Skipjack]], [[Scrapper (ROTF)|Scrapper]], [[Scavenger (ROTF)|Scavenger]], [[Overload (ROTF)|Overload]], [[Payload (Movie)|Payload]] and [[Scrapmetal (ROTF)|Scrapmetal]], and they combined into [[Devastator (ROTF)|Devastator]].

Elsewhere during [[Operation: Firestorm]], Long Haul, Scrapper, Mixmaster and Rampage hunted for [[Sam Witwicky]] in an abandoned town.

[[File:Defiance4 Constructicons.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|The Constructicons build a monument to their manhood.]]
In the distant past, the [[AllSpark]] Cube created the [[Dynasty of Primes]], a race of powerful, trans-dimensional beings as the first inhabitants of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. The Cube gave these beings mighty powers, as well as terraforming their world, but it was not limitless, and gradually became depleted. The first beings learned that the AllSpark's power could be replenished by harvesting the energy of stars, but they were unable to locate new stars to suit their purposes, despite their amazing ability to travel between dimensions. Once again, the Cube came to the rescue, creating a race of workers, who had the ability to change their shape.

The "builder" workers were among the very first of these new beings, who would construct a [[Star Harvester|harvester]] when a suitable sun had been found. Once built, the device would drain the energy of these stars, thus replenishing the AllSpark. {{Storylink|Defiance issue 4|Defiance #4}} The Primes ruled harvesters could not be used on a sun that replenished life, but one of them began to defy this rule and gathered together a few rogue "construction drones" and a [[Seeker (ROTF)|Seeker]] to secretly harvest suns and ignoring the genocide they caused. The other Primes found out and followed them to [[Earth]], and [[The Fallen]] Prime teleported his servants elsewhere, but the Seeker [[Jetfire (Movie)|Jetfire]] turned on the builders and killed them. {{Storylink|Tales of the Fallen issue 3|Tales of the Fallen #3}}

It is assumed that at some point during the civil war on Cybertron, the remaining builders sided with [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]], the new protege of their only surviving ancient master, The Fallen. In Megatron's [[Decepticon]] army, they became known as the Constructicons. In at least one battle, [[Devastator (ROTF)|Devastator]] was present. {{storylink|Tales of the Fallen issue 2|Tales of the Fallen #2}}

There were many Constructicons aboard the ''[[Nemesis (ROTF)|Nemesis]]'', as they were needed to excavate the harvester. [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] did not consider them smart enough to be allowed on the bridge. When the ''Nemesis'' and ''[[Ark (DOTM)|Ark]]'' collided, Soundwave had them placed in the cargo hold of the ''[[Longshot (DOTM)|Longshot]]'' when they gave pursuit of the Autobot ship. {{storylink|Convergence chapter 1}} When they returned to the ''Nemesis'', the Constructicons grumbled at almost immediately having to return to [[Earth]], so Soundwave placed them in stasis. {{storylink|Convergence chapter 4}}

During the war, [[Demolishor (ROTF)|Demolishor]] destroyed an [[Autobot]] colony guarded by [[Sideswipe (Movie)|Sideswipe]], who swore revenge and tracked him to [[Buenos Aires]], Argentina. The Constructicon drew out Sideswipe but fled when [[NEST]] forces led by [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] and [[William Lennox]] arrived. {{storylink|Tales of the Fallen issue 2|Tales of the Fallen #2}}

Some of the Constructicons combined into Devastator and revealed the star harvester hidden beneath a pyramid. Devastator was destroyed by a prototype [[rail gun]] soon afterwards. At the same time, [[Rampage (ROTF)|Rampage]] and Long Haul fought in the battle and were defeated by Bumblebee and Jetfire, respectively. {{storylink|Revenge of the Fallen issue 4|Revenge of the Fallen #4}}

===''The Veiled Threat''===
The Constructions [[Kickback (ROTF)|Kickback]], [[Trample]], and [[Tread]] came to Earth hoping to be able to revive their leader [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]. They were mining for uranium in the [[Australia]]n outback in the hopes that if they collected enough energy, they could jump-start Megatron's spark.

[[NEST]] became aware of their presence when they picked up their intermittent energy signatures. They sent a strike team consisting of [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]], [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]], [[Salvage (Movie)|Salvage]], [[William Lennox]], and [[Kaminari Ishihara]] to take care of them. The three Constructicons put up a good fight but were killed. {{storylink|Transformers: The Veiled Threat|The Veiled Threat}}

The Decepticons recovered Devastator's remains, and brought them to the peaks of [[British Columbia]], [[Canada]], so that the behemoth could be repaired by a squad of Constructicon drone units. These drones appeared to be a model of [[purple generic drone]]s, and had both crane and front load shovel forms. That nasty [[Stratosphere]] blew up the poor drones and then destroyed the half-rebuilt Devastator. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.14|Head in the Clouds}}

:Like the on-screen combiner, but unlike the Supreme Class Devastator toy, the ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' Legends Class Devastator comprises seven Constructicons, including the elusive [[Overload (ROTF)#Toys|Overload]], each with individual robot modes. Because of this, he is a lot more complex than the Supreme class toy, with a more "layered" look than his movie counterpart had. Devastator is (roughly) Deluxe sized while standing up. The only real drawback he has is that he almost has no articulation. But hey, you can't have everything, right?

:In [[Hasbro]]'s markets, this Devastator set was available as a [[Walmart]] [[exclusive]] in North America, an Argos exclusive in the UK and a Farmers exclusive in New Zealand, packaged in a currently-unique clear box in gestalt mode. A huge two-sided instruction sheet explains transformation in both directions from gestalt to vehicles and vehicles to robots, with the curious note that "Some poses may require hand support".

:In [[Japan]], the Constructicon team members were available individually. Unlike the usual EZ collection toys, the Constructicons are not blind packed but packed in much the same way as Hasbro's Legends Class releases.

====Deluxe Class toys====
[[Image:ROTF deluxe Rampage.jpg|300px|thumb]]
*'''Rampage''' (Deluxe Class, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RD-06'''

:Rampage transforms from a yellow bulldozer similar to a Komatsu D575A into one of two robot mode configurations, the first of which (his actual in-fiction robot form) is distinctly [[Vehicon (BM)|Vehicon]]-esque. It lacks any functional legs, instead featuring a spring-loaded "jackhammer" assembly. When the figure is bounced along the ground in this mode, his [[Mech Alive]] feature is activated, and a pair of pistons that frame his head pump back and forth. The shovel can be removed in this mode and used as a stand. If legs are preferred, his jackhammer splits and his elaborate [[kibble]] backpack unfolds, together forming four leg-struts to create a free-standing robot form that is rather centaurian in design. Though not mentioned in the instructions or package, the aforementioned backpack can remain folded in robot mode for a more movie-accurate, two-legged 'play' mode of sorts. He features real rubber treads which become arm-mounted whip weapons in robot mode. Unfortunately, due to this design, the treads themselves do not function in vehicle mode.

:Like several toys in the ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' toyline, Rampage has had a mold change done somewhere between his instructions being drawn up and the final version of the toy. On the final toy, the rear flap behind the cabin of the bulldozer runs into a screw section used to hold the robot pelvis together. This change also affects where the rear flap and the bulldozer shovel connect in robot mode. On the instructions, this flap is shown as folding flat against the back of the vehicle and said flap is also folded down much farther in robot mode to connect to the shovel. The mold change seems to account for the shovel connection issue in robot mode, but not the problem in vehicle mode. Unlike some others, this change does not directly affect any of the toy's action features or articulation.

[[File:ROTF_Deluxe_Red_Rampage.jpg|300px|thumb]]
*'''Rampage''' (Deluxe Class, 2010)

:As a redeco of Rampage's first Deluxe Class toy in red, this release of Rampage represents a more [[show-accuracy|movie accurate]] version of the Rampage who fought Bumblebee in Egypt. Hasbro's version of red Rampage is a straight colour swap, with his yellow plastic replaced with red plastic. As one of the last two figures released in the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Deluxe Class assortment, the red version of Rampage and his casemate [[Evac (Movie)|Evac]] were insanely difficult (if not impossible) to find in U.S. retail stores.
{{-}}

====Voyager Class toys====
[[Image:ROTF Voyager Demolishor.jpg|300px|thumb]]
*'''Demolishor''' (Voyager Class, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RD-03'''

:Demolishor transforms from a red [http://www.mining-power.de/rh400/erh400.html Terex RH400 mining excavator] into a unique robot mode via a surprisingly complex transformation. His [[Mech Alive]] gimmick in robot mode is a drum in each arm that spins when you move his lower arm (not in the shoulders as the packaging call out states). He has real rubber treads that sadly can't move, and no little plastic wheels that help it move either. He is almost impossible to stand up—let alone pose—but it ''can'' be managed.

:In the film, Demolishor's vehicle mode features a lot more white. This toy's colors are actually a match to [[Scavenger (ROTF)|Scavenger's]] colors.

:Like several ''Revenge of the Fallen'' toys, such as [[Starscream (Movie)/toys#Voyager_Class_toys_2|Voyager Class Starscream]] and [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#Leader_Class_toys_2|Leader Class Optimus Prime]], Demolishor is yet another victim of late mold changes due to 2008-2009 economic problems. On the back of the box, his treads are pictured as being made of several individual, linked plastic sections. The sections were apparently recast as a single rubber tread ring instead for the final toy.

:Also, left out on the instruction was that the shovel "teeth"/robot mode fingers are articulated (albeit via a very tight joint).
{{-}}

[[File:Mixmaster ROTF Voyager toy.jpg|thumb|400px]]
*'''Mixmaster''' (Voyager Class, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RD-12'''
**''Accessories:'' Missile

:''Revenge of the Fallen'' Voyager Class Mixmaster transforms into a gray and silver cement mixer with purple windows and headlights, based loosely on the {{w|Mack Trucks|Mack Granite}} truck seen in the film. The vehicle mode's mixing drum is incapable of rotating due to the transformation, but does boast a pair of gigantic Decepticon logos on either side. The cement chute at the rear of the vehicle mode can accurately raise and lower on a hinge, and the cannon can be fixed to fire directly overhead or behind at pursuing vehicles.

:His robot mode is designed to be squat with very long arms, but in order to be fully functional and look like the stock photo, his legs at the hip joints must be slightly mistransformed from what is depicted in his instructions. This results in a robot mode that is very thin and lanky, with numerous joints on the extremely long arms alone. The packaging calls out [[Mech Alive]] gimmickry in the form of "spinning gears" on his chest, but the feature is only present at the thighs and forearms, which reveal shifting internal bits when the joints are rotated. The robot mode's missile-firing cannon is locked in place on its back pointing straight upward; it can be raised over Mixmaster's head, although this involves letting the cab hang loose on his back as it's designed to attach to the cannon. Alternately the toy can be transformed to its artillery cannon-like Battle Mode that has him essentially performing a belly flop, letting the launcher fire forward. At least, according to the Battle Mode's official depiction on the instructions.

[[File:ROTFVoyager_MixmasterBattleMode.JPG|thumb|left|250px|BUMM]]
:The instructions and the box pictures show the joint that attaches the cab to the robot to be inverted, with the released toy having the cab joint [[Misassembly|upside-down]] as compared with what is in the instructions and box pictures. Out of the box, the toy cannot exactly mimic the battle mode of the instructions or [[stock photography|stock photo]]s, but it's close enough for most people to assume they were doing something wrong until one realizes this mis-assembly. The joint can be corrected by the removal and re-attachment of the metal pin behind the front-bumper, but this is not as easy as it sounds and may potentially be damaging to the toy. This only applies to the Hasbro version of the instructions, however, as the Japanese Takara release had instructions depicting a completely different battle mode, which utilised the joint in the direction it is assembled, as well as pegs and holes present on the rear wheel segments and the inside of the cab respectively.

:The image of the cement mixer mode on the packaging has been flipped horizontally as well, leaving the location of the ladder switched. Additionally, the robot mode image on the packaging has a different mold for the mixing drum shells, with rectangular-shaped pegs rather than circular.

[[Image:ROTF-toy_GreenMixmaster.jpg|thumb|300px]]
{{anchor|Back Road Brawl}}
*'''Back Road Brawl''' (multi-pack, 2009)
**''Accessories:'' Missile

:Available only in the [[Toys"R"Us]]-[[exclusive]] "Back Road Brawl" figure pack with [[Hoist (Movie)|Hoist]], this release of Mixmaster features a new head that was gang-molded to Mixmaster, but until now went unused. His colour scheme has been extensively [[redeco]]ed in a layout resembling the [[The Transformers (franchise)|Generation 1]] [[Constructicon (G1)|Constructicons]]. He is decorated with a small [[tampograph]] reading "Ol' Lefty", a reference to how Generation 1 [[Mixmaster (G1)|Mixmaster]] formed [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]]'s left leg.

:He retains the mis-assembled cab joint/faulty instructions.

[[File:ROTF Voyager LongHaul.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66]]
*'''Long Haul''' (Voyager Class, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RD-17'''

:Part of ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Voyager Class wave 5, Long Haul transforms from a green genericized "earth mover" dump truck with a functional truck bed into a bulky [[robot mode]]. In robot mode, he has three [[Mech Alive]] gimmicks in which turning his head also turns a cog in his chest, while bending his elbows moves some pistons and finally the "springs" connected to his feet move inwards when moving them. Only the piston gimmick is advertised on the packaging. Meanwhile, each forearm houses a spring-loaded flip-out sword.

:Long Haul was packaged in vehicle mode in very limited numbers before a [[Variant|running change]] packaged him in robot mode.
{{-}}

====Combiner Class toys====
[[File:ROTF Devastator combiner toy.jpg|300px|thumb|Actually movie accurate... [[Overload (ROTF)|NOT.]]]]
*'''Constructicon Devastator''' (2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RD-16'''

:Devastator is formed from the combination of six transforming construction vehicle toys that do not have individual robot modes. Unlike [[Duocon|prior]] [[Optimus Prime (Armada)/toys#Energon|cases]] of this format, Devastator's vehicles represent separate Transformers, [[Scavenger (ROTF)#Combiner Class toys|and]] [[Rampage (ROTF)#Combiner Class toys|most]] [[Long Haul (ROTF)#Combiner Class toys|of]] [[Mixmaster (ROTF)#Combiner Class toys|them]] have other non-combiner toys that ''do'' have robot modes.

:Despite the figure's complex appearance (from the front anyway), the limbs' transformations into combined mode are rather simple. Fortunately, this makes him a lot easier to muck with than some of the other larger-scale ''Revenge of the Fallen'' toys. This is good, because Devastator is ENORMOUS. His smallest limbs (his legs) are the size of Deluxe-class toys, and his largest components are bigger than Leader-class toys. While the legs can not be swapped (unless for some reason you want a backwards walking Devastator), the arms can be swapped around. The pegs meant to plug Rampage and Long Haul into Devastator's hips also fit snugly into the sockets meant for connecting Scrapper and Hightower to Scavenger... if you're inclined to have a random arm connected to a stray leg with no body in between, or a vehicle mode about as useful as a poorly matched [[Micromaster Combiner]] pair.

[[File:TF-ROTF-Supreme-Class-Devastator-(Takara-Tomy).jpg|thumb|left|150px|You've got red on you.]]
:The toy's electronics are all in the Mixmaster component. Pressing the button makes Devastator's mouth open and activates voice clips and engine sounds, as well as green lights in his mouth and eyes. Pressing the button for a few seconds activates his "Vortex grinder". However, the button trigger is so sensitive that he ''never shuts up''. In Devastator mode, his mouth can be locked into the open position by clicking his lower jaw sections into the large tank treads that form his shoulders. His mouth is enormous, and it lights up all pretty and green. He can easily swallow any Legends-class toy and spit it out the other side by opening up the back of his head. Covering Devastator's head when separating him from the torso and turning him back into Mixmaster's vehicle mode activates the transformation noise, and after that somehow makes engine stalling noises without pulling the trigger.

:Sadly, Devastator has a hard time standing on all four of his limbs, and is most stable standing on his hind legs. This is mainly because the most weight is located in the head, and his fingers are not made to hold that weight. He will also look straight to the ground unless you lock his head in place with the lower jaw.

:The Japanese [[TakaraTomy]] release of this figure has extra paint applications on Devastator's face, for a better resemblance to the final CG model.

:This Legends Class Rampage is an all-new mold that is different from the Legends class Rampage that came with Legends Class Constructicon Devastator. Because he is not encumbered with the need to combine, both his robot and vehicle modes are much more accurate and detailed. His "jackhammer" mode can be achieved by connecting his legs together and flipping his cab-feet down as the tip (as per the [[stock photography|stock photos]]), although he will not be able to stand up well.

:Announced to commemorate the 10th anniversary of ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'', ''[[Studio Series]]'' Devastator consists of eight (yes, eight) Constructicons to combine into one mechanical four-legged giant. While being meant to celebrate the tenth anniversary, some members were released in 2020.

:Despite the ''Studio Series'' line's focus on screen-accuracy, Devastator once again omits [[Payload (Movie)|Payload]] (though the truck mode was used for [[Long Haul (ROTF)|Long Haul]], albeit, in green), and [[Scrapmetal (ROTF)|Scrapmetal]] transforms into a Volvo excavator (which was the vehicle mode he had before he died) instead of a Caterpillar M9-30 bulldozer with a scoop attachment, (which is the vehicle mode he has when Devastator was formed on-screen). [[Rampage (ROTF)|Rampage]] was redecoed into [[Skipjack (ROTF)|Skipjack]] as an option for a more accurate Devastator. Hasbro will probably also repaint other Constructicons into [[Demolishor (ROTF)|Demolishor]] and [[Payload (Movie)|Payload]] in the future.

:For those new to the movie franchise, [[:File:Devastator_insignia.jpg|Devastator's picture]] is on the side of the packaging for his components to signify their involvement in his assembly, similar to the ''[[Prime Wars Trilogy]]'' combiner bots. A large picture of the prototype CG model for Devastator is also present.

==Notes==
*In the [[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (novel)|''Revenge of the Fallen'' novel adaptation]], the four Constructicons that accompany Ravage to the [[Laurentian Abyss]] are not named, but described as bipedal, disqualifying Rampage. This is contradicted by the movie, as the Rampage that later battles [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] is almost certainly one of the four.
*[http://web.archive.org/web/20160324114012/http://www.stevejung.net/gallery/displayimage.php?album=4&pos=10 One abandoned Constructicon concept] by artist [[Steve Jung]] was a "nurse" that would have transformed into a Volvo wheel loader. It is unknown if this character later evolved into the character referred to as [[Scrapmetal (ROTF)|Scrapmetal]], who alternately transformed into a Volvo excavator and a yellow front-end loader.
*Other abandoned Constructicon concepts by Jung include [http://web.archive.org/web/20160324032850/http://www.stevejung.net/gallery/displayimage.php?album=4&pos=11 a rockwheel trencher] and [http://web.archive.org/web/20160324114008/http://www.stevejung.net/gallery/displayimage.php?album=4&pos=12 a clawed crane].

===Constructicons defined===
{{bigquote|There are other Constructicons too, but we only have so much space on the page!|[[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]]|"[[Transformers Comic issue 2.17|Law and Disorder]]"}}

Determining who is and who isn't a Constructicon is a little more problematic than it may first appear. The subgroup is not especially well defined. Over time, ''any'' Decepticon from the 2009 film and related media/toys that has a construction vehicle [[alternate mode]] has been said to be a Constructicon. This is then complicated by the amount of Constructicons with the same name and form as each other, which indicates "Constructicon" is a type of drone... except then, with Constructicon Scouts and the drones in Titan Comics, there are ''explicit'' drones without individual names! Add in that bios and other media have given Constructicons individual personalities, even though they have counterparts: does this mean every Rampage, for example, has anger issues?

Also, the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' film taken by itself does not feature any Constructicons with individual robot modes that also form a part of Devastator. There's only construction vehicles that turn into individual robots, and construction vehicles that combine into Devastator. If one were to only watch the movie and not be aware of the toys or other media, one might come to the conclusion that Devastator is simply a really large member of the Constructicons that splits up into multiple construction vehicles for his alternate mode.

The '''Constructicons''' are a group of Decepticons that take the form of various construction vehicles, many sharing alternate modes, [[body-type]]s and even names. Constructicons have been built since the dawn of the Transformer race, and used to be considered simple [[drone]]s.<ref>[[Tales of the Fallen issue 3|''Tales of the Fallen'' #3]]</ref>

Unlike previous continuities, it seems as if only ''some'', not all, of the Constructicons are [[combiner]]s. They combine into [[Devastator (ROTF)|Devastator]].

Long Haul and [[Hightower (ROTF)|Hightower]] waited in a quarry near the [[Egypt]]ian [[pyramid]]s for Mixmaster to arrive with [[Skipjack (ROTF)|Skipjack]], [[Scrapper (ROTF)|Scrapper]], [[Scavenger (ROTF)|Scavenger]], [[Overload (ROTF)|Overload]], [[Payload (Movie)|Payload]] and [[Scrapmetal (ROTF)|Scrapmetal]], and they combined into [[Devastator (ROTF)|Devastator]]. Devastator battled [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] and [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]], before climbing up the [[Great Pyramid of Giza]] to excavate the [[Star Harvester]] within. Devastator was blown up by an experimental [[rail gun]] fired by the [[United States Navy#U.S.S. Kidd (DDG-100)|USS ''Kidd'']].

Elsewhere during [[Operation: Firestorm]], Long Haul, Scrapper, Mixmaster and Rampage hunted for [[Sam Witwicky]] in an abandoned town. Rampage was ordered by [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] to spring a trap by demanding Sam hand over the [[Matrix of Leadership]] in exchange for his captive parents [[Ron Witwicky|Ron]] and [[Judy Witwicky|Judy]], but [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] attacked and killed him. [[Jetfire (Movie)|Jetfire]] killed Mixmaster, while the others died in a bombing raid by the [[United States Air Force]]. {{storylink|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen}}

[[File:Defiance4 Constructicons.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|The Constructicons build a monument to their manhood.]]
In the distant past, the [[AllSpark]] Cube created the [[Dynasty of Primes]], a race of powerful, trans-dimensional beings as the first inhabitants of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. The Cube gave these beings mighty powers, as well as terraforming their world, but it was not limitless, and gradually became depleted. The first beings learned that the AllSpark's power could be replenished by harvesting the energy of stars, but they were unable to locate new stars to suit their purposes, despite their amazing ability to travel between dimensions. Once again, the Cube came to the rescue, creating a race of workers, who had the ability to change their shape.

The "builder" workers were among the very first of these new beings, who would construct a [[Star Harvester|harvester]] when a suitable sun had been found. Once built, the device would drain the energy of these stars, thus replenishing the AllSpark. {{Storylink|Defiance issue 4|Defiance #4}} The Primes ruled harvesters could not be used on a sun that replenished life, but one of them began to defy this rule and gathered together a few rogue "construction drones" and a [[Seeker (ROTF)|Seeker]] to secretly harvest suns and ignoring the genocide they caused. The other Primes found out and followed them to [[Earth]], and [[The Fallen]] Prime teleported his servants elsewhere, but the Seeker [[Jetfire (Movie)|Jetfire]] turned on the builders and killed them. {{Storylink|Tales of the Fallen issue 3|Tales of the Fallen #3}}

It is assumed that at some point during the civil war on Cybertron, the remaining builders sided with [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]], the new protege of their only surviving ancient master, The Fallen. In Megatron's [[Decepticon]] army, they became known as the Constructicons. In at least one battle, [[Devastator (ROTF)|Devastator]] was present. {{storylink|Tales of the Fallen issue 2|Tales of the Fallen #2}}

There were many Constructicons aboard the ''[[Nemesis (ROTF)|Nemesis]]'', as they were needed to excavate the harvester. [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] did not consider them smart enough to be allowed on the bridge. When the ''Nemesis'' and ''[[Ark (DOTM)|Ark]]'' collided, Soundwave had them placed in the cargo hold of the ''[[Longshot (DOTM)|Longshot]]'' when they gave pursuit of the Autobot ship. {{storylink|Convergence chapter 1}} When they returned to the ''Nemesis'', the Constructicons grumbled at almost immediately having to return to [[Earth]], so Soundwave placed them in stasis. {{storylink|Convergence chapter 4}}

During the war, [[Demolishor (ROTF)|Demolishor]] destroyed an [[Autobot]] colony guarded by [[Sideswipe (Movie)|Sideswipe]], who swore revenge and tracked him to [[Buenos Aires]], Argentina. The Constructicon drew out Sideswipe but fled when [[NEST]] forces led by [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] and [[William Lennox]] arrived. {{storylink|Tales of the Fallen issue 2|Tales of the Fallen #2}}

[[Scavenger (ROTF)|Scavenger]], [[Long Haul (ROTF)|Long Haul]], [[Scrapper (ROTF)|Scrapper]], [[Overload (ROTF)|Overload]], and [[Mixmaster (ROTF)|Mixmaster]] arrived in Egypt together along with other Constructicons and Decepticons to battle the Autobots.
{{storylink|Revenge of the Fallen issue 3|Revenge of the Fallen #3}}

Some of the Constructicons combined into Devastator and revealed the star harvester hidden beneath a pyramid. Devastator was destroyed by a prototype [[rail gun]] soon afterwards. At the same time, [[Rampage (ROTF)|Rampage]] and Long Haul fought in the battle and were defeated by Bumblebee and Jetfire, respectively. {{storylink|Revenge of the Fallen issue 4|Revenge of the Fallen #4}}

They were mining for uranium in the [[Australia]]n outback in the hopes that if they collected enough energy, they could jump-start Megatron's spark.

[[NEST]] became aware of their presence when they picked up their intermittent energy signatures. They sent a strike team consisting of [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]], [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]], [[Salvage (Movie)|Salvage]], [[William Lennox]], and [[Kaminari Ishihara]] to take care of them.

The Decepticons recovered Devastator's remains, and brought them to the peaks of [[British Columbia]], [[Canada]], so that the behemoth could be repaired by a squad of Constructicon drone units. These drones appeared to be a model of [[purple generic drone]]s, and had both crane and front load shovel forms.

:Like the on-screen combiner, but unlike the Supreme Class Devastator toy, the ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' Legends Class Devastator comprises seven Constructicons, including the elusive [[Overload (ROTF)#Toys|Overload]], each with individual robot modes. Because of this, he is a lot more complex than the Supreme class toy, with a more "layered" look than his movie counterpart had. Devastator is (roughly) Deluxe sized while standing up. The only real drawback he has is that he almost has no articulation. But hey, you can't have everything, right?

:In [[Hasbro]]'s markets, this Devastator set was available as a [[Walmart]] [[exclusive]] in North America, an Argos exclusive in the UK and a Farmers exclusive in New Zealand, packaged in a currently-unique clear box in gestalt mode. A huge two-sided instruction sheet explains transformation in both directions from gestalt to vehicles and vehicles to robots, with the curious note that "Some poses may require hand support".

:In [[Japan]], the Constructicon team members were available individually. Unlike the usual EZ collection toys, the Constructicons are not blind packed but packed in much the same way as Hasbro's Legends Class releases.

:Takara reissued the seven Legends Class Constructicons in G1 inspired green and purple color schemes. He even comes packaged in the same clear box set the Hasbro version used.

:This configuration of Devastator includes [[Hook (ROTF)#Toys|Hook]] as the left arm and [[Bonecrusher (ROTF Constructicon)#Toys|Bonecrusher]] as the left leg.

====Deluxe Class toys====
[[Image:ROTF deluxe Rampage.jpg|300px|thumb]]
*'''Rampage''' (Deluxe Class, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RD-06'''

:Rampage transforms from a yellow bulldozer similar to a Komatsu D575A into one of two robot mode configurations, the first of which (his actual in-fiction robot form) is distinctly [[Vehicon (BM)|Vehicon]]-esque. It lacks any functional legs, instead featuring a spring-loaded "jackhammer" assembly. When the figure is bounced along the ground in this mode, his [[Mech Alive]] feature is activated, and a pair of pistons that frame his head pump back and forth. The shovel can be removed in this mode and used as a stand. If legs are preferred, his jackhammer splits and his elaborate [[kibble]] backpack unfolds, together forming four leg-struts to create a free-standing robot form that is rather centaurian in design. Though not mentioned in the instructions or package, the aforementioned backpack can remain folded in robot mode for a more movie-accurate, two-legged 'play' mode of sorts. He features real rubber treads which become arm-mounted whip weapons in robot mode. Unfortunately, due to this design, the treads themselves do not function in vehicle mode.

:Like several toys in the ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' toyline, Rampage has had a mold change done somewhere between his instructions being drawn up and the final version of the toy. On the final toy, the rear flap behind the cabin of the bulldozer runs into a screw section used to hold the robot pelvis together. This change also affects where the rear flap and the bulldozer shovel connect in robot mode. On the instructions, this flap is shown as folding flat against the back of the vehicle and said flap is also folded down much farther in robot mode to connect to the shovel. The mold change seems to account for the shovel connection issue in robot mode, but not the problem in vehicle mode. Unlike some others, this change does not directly affect any of the toy's action features or articulation.

{{-}}{{anchor|RedDeluxe}}
[[File:ROTF_Deluxe_Red_Rampage.jpg|300px|thumb]]
*'''Rampage''' (Deluxe Class, 2010)

:As a redeco of Rampage's first Deluxe Class toy in red, this release of Rampage represents a more [[show-accuracy|movie accurate]] version of the Rampage who fought Bumblebee in Egypt. Hasbro's version of red Rampage is a straight colour swap, with his yellow plastic replaced with red plastic. As one of the last two figures released in the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Deluxe Class assortment, the red version of Rampage and his casemate [[Evac (Movie)|Evac]] were insanely difficult (if not impossible) to find in U.S. retail stores.

====Voyager Class toys====
[[Image:ROTF Voyager Demolishor.jpg|300px|thumb]]
*'''Demolishor''' (Voyager Class, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RD-03'''

:Demolishor transforms from a red [http://www.mining-power.de/rh400/erh400.html Terex RH400 mining excavator] into a unique robot mode via a surprisingly complex transformation. His [[Mech Alive]] gimmick in robot mode is a drum in each arm that spins when you move his lower arm (not in the shoulders as the packaging call out states). He has real rubber treads that sadly can't move, and no little plastic wheels that help it move either. He is almost impossible to stand up—let alone pose—but it ''can'' be managed.

:In the film, Demolishor's vehicle mode features a lot more white. This toy's colors are actually a match to [[Scavenger (ROTF)|Scavenger's]] colors.

:Like several ''Revenge of the Fallen'' toys, such as [[Starscream (Movie)/toys#Voyager_Class_toys_2|Voyager Class Starscream]] and [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#Leader_Class_toys_2|Leader Class Optimus Prime]], Demolishor is yet another victim of late mold changes due to 2008-2009 economic problems. On the back of the box, his treads are pictured as being made of several individual, linked plastic sections. The sections were apparently recast as a single rubber tread ring instead for the final toy.

:Also, left out on the instruction was that the shovel "teeth"/robot mode fingers are articulated (albeit via a very tight joint).
{{-}}

[[File:Mixmaster ROTF Voyager toy.jpg|thumb|400px]]
*'''Mixmaster''' (Voyager Class, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RD-12'''
**''Accessories:'' Missile

:''Revenge of the Fallen'' Voyager Class Mixmaster transforms into a gray and silver cement mixer with purple windows and headlights, based loosely on the {{w|Mack Trucks|Mack Granite}} truck seen in the film. The vehicle mode's mixing drum is incapable of rotating due to the transformation, but does boast a pair of gigantic Decepticon logos on either side. The cement chute at the rear of the vehicle mode can accurately raise and lower on a hinge, and the cannon can be fixed to fire directly overhead or behind at pursuing vehicles.

:His robot mode is designed to be squat with very long arms, but in order to be fully functional and look like the stock photo, his legs at the hip joints must be slightly mistransformed from what is depicted in his instructions. This results in a robot mode that is very thin and lanky, with numerous joints on the extremely long arms alone. The packaging calls out [[Mech Alive]] gimmickry in the form of "spinning gears" on his chest, but the feature is only present at the thighs and forearms, which reveal shifting internal bits when the joints are rotated. The robot mode's missile-firing cannon is locked in place on its back pointing straight upward; it can be raised over Mixmaster's head, although this involves letting the cab hang loose on his back as it's designed to attach to the cannon. Alternately the toy can be transformed to its artillery cannon-like Battle Mode that has him essentially performing a belly flop, letting the launcher fire forward. At least, according to the Battle Mode's official depiction on the instructions.

[[File:ROTFVoyager_MixmasterBattleMode.JPG|thumb|left|250px|BUMM]]
:The instructions and the box pictures show the joint that attaches the cab to the robot to be inverted, with the released toy having the cab joint [[Misassembly|upside-down]] as compared with what is in the instructions and box pictures. Out of the box, the toy cannot exactly mimic the battle mode of the instructions or [[stock photography|stock photo]]s, but it's close enough for most people to assume they were doing something wrong until one realizes this mis-assembly. The joint can be corrected by the removal and re-attachment of the metal pin behind the front-bumper, but this is not as easy as it sounds and may potentially be damaging to the toy. This only applies to the Hasbro version of the instructions, however, as the Japanese Takara release had instructions depicting a completely different battle mode, which utilised the joint in the direction it is assembled, as well as pegs and holes present on the rear wheel segments and the inside of the cab respectively.

:The image of the cement mixer mode on the packaging has been flipped horizontally as well, leaving the location of the ladder switched. Additionally, the robot mode image on the packaging has a different mold for the mixing drum shells, with rectangular-shaped pegs rather than circular.

[[Image:ROTF-toy_GreenMixmaster.jpg|thumb|300px]]
{{anchor|Back Road Brawl}}
*'''Back Road Brawl''' (multi-pack, 2009)
**''Accessories:'' Missile

:Available only in the [[Toys"R"Us]]-[[exclusive]] "Back Road Brawl" figure pack with [[Hoist (Movie)|Hoist]], this release of Mixmaster features a new head that was gang-molded to Mixmaster, but until now went unused. His colour scheme has been extensively [[redeco]]ed in a layout resembling the [[The Transformers (franchise)|Generation 1]] [[Constructicon (G1)|Constructicons]]. He is decorated with a small [[tampograph]] reading "Ol' Lefty", a reference to how Generation 1 [[Mixmaster (G1)|Mixmaster]] formed [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]]'s left leg.

:He retains the mis-assembled cab joint/faulty instructions.

{{-}}

[[File:ROTF Voyager LongHaul.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66]]
*'''Long Haul''' (Voyager Class, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RD-17'''

:Part of ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Voyager Class wave 5, Long Haul transforms from a green genericized "earth mover" dump truck with a functional truck bed into a bulky [[robot mode]]. In robot mode, he has three [[Mech Alive]] gimmicks in which turning his head also turns a cog in his chest, while bending his elbows moves some pistons and finally the "springs" connected to his feet move inwards when moving them. Only the piston gimmick is advertised on the packaging. Meanwhile, each forearm houses a spring-loaded flip-out sword.

:Long Haul was packaged in vehicle mode in very limited numbers before a [[Variant|running change]] packaged him in robot mode.
{{-}}

====Combiner Class toys====
[[File:ROTF Devastator combiner toy.jpg|300px|thumb|Actually movie accurate... [[Overload (ROTF)|NOT.]]]]
*'''Constructicon Devastator''' (2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RD-16'''

:Devastator is formed from the combination of six transforming construction vehicle toys that do not have individual robot modes. Unlike [[Duocon|prior]] [[Optimus Prime (Armada)/toys#Energon|cases]] of this format, Devastator's vehicles represent separate Transformers, [[Scavenger (ROTF)#Combiner Class toys|and]] [[Rampage (ROTF)#Combiner Class toys|most]] [[Long Haul (ROTF)#Combiner Class toys|of]] [[Mixmaster (ROTF)#Combiner Class toys|them]] have other non-combiner toys that ''do'' have robot modes.

:Despite the figure's complex appearance (from the front anyway), the limbs' transformations into combined mode are rather simple. Fortunately, this makes him a lot easier to muck with than some of the other larger-scale ''Revenge of the Fallen'' toys. This is good, because Devastator is ENORMOUS. His smallest limbs (his legs) are the size of Deluxe-class toys, and his largest components are bigger than Leader-class toys. While the legs can not be swapped (unless for some reason you want a backwards walking Devastator), the arms can be swapped around. The pegs meant to plug Rampage and Long Haul into Devastator's hips also fit snugly into the sockets meant for connecting Scrapper and Hightower to Scavenger... if you're inclined to have a random arm connected to a stray leg with no body in between, or a vehicle mode about as useful as a poorly matched [[Micromaster Combiner]] pair.

[[File:TF-ROTF-Supreme-Class-Devastator-(Takara-Tomy).jpg|thumb|left|150px|You've got red on you.]]
:The toy's electronics are all in the Mixmaster component. Pressing the button makes Devastator's mouth open and activates voice clips and engine sounds, as well as green lights in his mouth and eyes. Pressing the button for a few seconds activates his "Vortex grinder". However, the button trigger is so sensitive that he ''never shuts up''. In Devastator mode, his mouth can be locked into the open position by clicking his lower jaw sections into the large tank treads that form his shoulders. His mouth is enormous, and it lights up all pretty and green. He can easily swallow any Legends-class toy and spit it out the other side by opening up the back of his head. Covering Devastator's head when separating him from the torso and turning him back into Mixmaster's vehicle mode activates the transformation noise, and after that somehow makes engine stalling noises without pulling the trigger.

:Sadly, Devastator has a hard time standing on all four of his limbs, and is most stable standing on his hind legs. This is mainly because the most weight is located in the head, and his fingers are not made to hold that weight. He will also look straight to the ground unless you lock his head in place with the lower jaw.

:The Japanese [[TakaraTomy]] release of this figure has extra paint applications on Devastator's face, for a better resemblance to the final CG model.

:This Legends Class Rampage is an all-new mold that is different from the Legends class Rampage that came with Legends Class Constructicon Devastator. Because he is not encumbered with the need to combine, both his robot and vehicle modes are much more accurate and detailed. His "jackhammer" mode can be achieved by connecting his legs together and flipping his cab-feet down as the tip (as per the [[stock photography|stock photos]]), although he will not be able to stand up well.

:Announced to commemorate the 10th anniversary of ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'', ''[[Studio Series]]'' Devastator consists of eight (yes, eight) Constructicons to combine into one mechanical four-legged giant. While being meant to celebrate the tenth anniversary, some members were released in 2020.

:Despite the ''Studio Series'' line's focus on screen-accuracy, Devastator once again omits [[Payload (ROTF)|Payload]] (though the truck mode was used for [[Long Haul (ROTF)|Long Haul]], albeit, in green), and [[Scrapmetal (ROTF)|Scrapmetal]] He transforms into a Volvo excavator (which was the vehicle mode he had before his death) instead of a Caterpillar M9-30 bulldozer with a scoop attachment, (which is the vehicle mode he has when Devastator was formed on-screen). [[Rampage (ROTF)|Rampage]] was redecoed into [[Skipjack (ROTF)|Skipjack]] as an option for a more accurate Devastator. Hasbro will probably also repaint other Constructicons into [[Demolishor (ROTF)|Demolishor]] and [[Payload (Movie)|Payload]] in the future.

:For those new to the movie franchise, [[:File:Devastator_insignia.jpg|Devastator's picture]] is on the side of the packaging for his components to signify their involvement in his assembly, similar to the ''[[Prime Wars Trilogy]]'' combiner bots. A large picture of the prototype CG model for Devastator is also present.

==Notes==
*In the [[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (novel)|''Revenge of the Fallen'' novel adaptation]], the four Constructicons that accompany Ravage to the [[Laurentian Abyss]] are not named, but described as bipedal, disqualifying Rampage. This is contradicted by the movie, as the Rampage that later battles [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] is almost certainly one of the four.
*[http://web.archive.org/web/20160324114012/http://www.stevejung.net/gallery/displayimage.php?album=4&pos=10 One abandoned Constructicon concept] by artist [[Steve Jung]] was a "nurse" that would have transformed into a Volvo wheel loader. It is unknown if this character later evolved into the character referred to as [[Scrapmetal (ROTF)|Scrapmetal]], who alternately transformed into a Volvo excavator and a yellow front-end loader.
*Other abandoned Constructicon concepts by Jung include [http://web.archive.org/web/20160324032850/http://www.stevejung.net/gallery/displayimage.php?album=4&pos=11 a rockwheel trencher] and [http://web.archive.org/web/20160324114008/http://www.stevejung.net/gallery/displayimage.php?album=4&pos=12 a clawed crane].

===Constructicons defined===
{{bigquote|There are other Constructicons too, but we only have so much space on the page!|[[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]]|"[[Transformers Comic issue 2.17|Law and Disorder]]"}}

Determining who is and who isn't a Constructicon is a little more problematic than it may first appear. The subgroup is not especially well defined. Over time, ''any'' Decepticon from the 2009 film and related media/toys that has a construction vehicle [[alternate mode]] has been said to be a Constructicon. This is then complicated by the amount of Constructicons with the same name and form as each other, which indicates "Constructicon" is a type of drone... except then, with Constructicon Scouts and the drones in Titan Comics, there are ''explicit'' drones without individual names! Add in that bios and other media have given Constructicons individual personalities, even though they have counterparts: does this mean every Rampage, for example, has anger issues?

Also, the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' film taken by itself does not feature any Constructicons with individual robot modes that also form a part of Devastator. There's only construction vehicles that turn into individual robots, and construction vehicles that combine into Devastator. If one were to only watch the movie and not be aware of the toys or other media, one might come to the conclusion that Devastator is simply a really large member of the Constructicons that splits up into multiple construction vehicles for his alternate mode.

:''Payload is a [[Decepticon]], and sometimes [[Constructicon (ROTF)|Constructicon]], from the [[live-action film series]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:Payload-gamedrone.jpg|right|250px|thumb|SWAT? Maybe more like SMITE.]]

Transforming into an exceptionally fast and powerful armored truck, '''Payload''' is the one the Decepticons rely on to procure the money and energy they need to function on Earth. Whatever they need, wherever they need it, in their quest for the [[AllSpark]] it's Payload's job to get it to them, even if he has to smash right through [[Autobot]] lines to do it. What can he say? It's the ''one job he has''. Many of his allies would find his job [[Long Haul (ROTF)|boring and tedious]] compared to open fighting, but Payload not only understands how crucial his role is, he thoroughly enjoys it since it earns him praise for being a reliable soldier.

Both the Autobot and Decepticon armies make use of [[Class Beta drone unit]]s, which are heavily-armored, brutal melee fighters.

==Fiction==
===IDW movie comics===
When Megatron first began his push for domination, Payload was one of the many Cybertronians who listened to Megatron as he rallied his soldiers to push back and slaughter alien invaders. {{storylink|Defiance issue 2|Defiance #2}}

Payload was one of the Decepticons who took part in the Battle of [[Tyger Pax]] on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. He was also with [[Swindle (Movie)|Swindle]] during the interrogation of the surviving [[Autobot]] defenders. {{storylink|Movie Prequel issue 1|Movie Prequel #1}}

[[Image:ReignofStarscream4 Payload.jpg|left|250px|thumb|"Keg coming through!"]]

Payload remained back on Cybertron, under the command of [[Dreadwing (Movie)|Dreadwing]]. When Starscream returned with the knowledge to build a new All Spark, [[Class Beta drone unit|Class Beta drones]] were among those assigned to guard the Autobot slaves who were being forced to build the new Cube. They brutally punished [[Warpath (Movie)|Warpath]] when he saw to the exhausted [[Grindcore (Movie)|Grindcore]]. Later, after the new All Spark was completed, Payload arrived leading a team of drones carrying the massive generators required to drain the [[Spark|life force]] out of the Autobot prisoners and put it into the Cube. He dissed Dreadwing's drone army for not being much help to them. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 3|The Reign of Starscream #3}} {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 4|The Reign of Starscream #4}}

Unfortunately for Starscream, the Cube didn't work, and Dreadwing's forces betrayed him. During the battle between Starscream's loyalists, [[Arcee (Movie)|Arcee's]] Autobots and Dreadwing's traitors, Payload grappled with [[Stockade (Movie)|Stockade]], who eventually got the better of him. His fate is unknown. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 5|The Reign of Starscream #5}}

An army of Payloads made an assault on oil pipelines in [[Alaska]] as part of a major campaign. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 16|Dark Spark}}

An even ''bigger'' army of them stood around going "GRRRR" as part of a Decepticon group shot when the [[Decepticon Heartland]] prepared for war. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 23|Revolution Part 1}} And an even bigger army than ''that'' served as the bulk of the invasion force when Starscream announced the re-conquest of the USA.

Unfortunately for Starscream, the Payloads under [[Hardtop (Movie)|Hardtop]] were intercepted by [[Stockade (Movie)|Stockade]] and his crew, and [[Fracture (Movie)|Fracture]] reprogrammed the entire platoon to work for ''them''. They became the first defected drones in a [[Decepticon Civil War]], including [[:Image:Titan24_greenMdrone.jpg|some with different colouring schemes]], {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 24|Revolution Part 2}} and soon ''all'' of them were under Stockade's command, since every one that wasn't had been slagged.

Following the sudden Autobot strike that saw every Decepticon exiled from Earth, the Payloads remained. The Autobots have now got the task of decommissioning all of these drones. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 25|Revolution Part 3}}

===''The Veiled Threat''===
{{Note|The events of ''The Veiled Threat'' take place during [[IDW Publishing]]'s ''[[Transformers: Alliance|Alliance]]'' comic.}}
Payload came to Earth in response to [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]]'s signal, sent out after [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]'s death. When Starscream recruited the [[Human Accessory Force]], he joined in a battle to capture a dam construction site in [[Zambia]]. He was skeptical of Starscream's claim that Megatron was truly dead, but accepted [[Macerator (ROTF)|Macerator]]'s word that the recordings of the event clearly showed Megatron being killed. Once the Autobots had come to investigate the Decepticon activity, Payload, Macerator and [[Dropkick (Movie)|Dropkick]] lured them into the Zambezi River to fight. Though Payload managed to keep Ironhide distracted as they neared Victoria Falls, two humans, [[Kaminari Ishihara]] and [[Petr Andronov]] interfered with the fight using strange hi-tech guns, and Payload was forced to retreat.

The three Decepticons proceeded to Kariba Dam, where Payload descended into the gorge and started blasting away at the bottom of the dam, with the intention of rupturing it. When the Autobots caught up with them, Ratchet started attempting to repair the dam, and Payload began firing at him instead. He inflicted heavy damage on Ratchet, however the humans released the floodgates on the dam. Unable to withstand the raging torrent, Payload was swept away. Optimus later spoke of tracking down and terminating the Decepticon, but it's unclear if this was done. {{storylink|Transformers: The Veiled Threat|The Veiled Threat}}

When the [[Decepticon]]s need something delivered, they can turn to the [[Constructicon Warrior]] Payload. His heavily armored and powerful body allows him to simply smash obstacles. [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] is the latest Autobot to get in his way, and Payload is amused that Ratchet thinks he can stop him.

: Payload transforms into a [http://www.armoredvehicles.com/armored/swat/Bulldog2.html Bulldog II Armored Truck] model based on the Decepticon-drone coloration and face type. In robot mode, his midsection has a large push-out grabber-claw that extends waaaaaaaaaaaaay far out. Of course, when the claw-shaft stores in robot mode, it sticks equally far out of his back.

: Several pieces on Payload tend to pop off easily: his brush guard, midriff-plate/claw-center, and even his upper shoulder/head assembly. The mold was later retooled to include larger pegs for the shoulder/head assembly and an added tab on the brush-guard, to connect to the new slot in the claw plunger. While this was intended to give the pieces a better fit, it actually puts more pressure on the parts and causes them to pop off even more easily. The chest piece, however, fits fairly well on either version, but is still easy to remove.

: Payload had a tendency to [[Shelfwarmer|sit on shelves]] for weeks, with some examples of end displays filled completely with Payload figures. This has led to some fans affectionately renaming him ''Pegload''.

==Notes==
* Artist [[Ken Christiansen]] designed Payload (and the subsequent [[Class Beta drone unit]]s), along with the other new characters in the [[Transformers The Game|''Transformers'' - The Game]] and [[Revenge of the Fallen (video games)|''Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen'' - The Game]] video games. The security company logos on his design and the toy, "Armored Security Systems", spells out "ASS". Christiansen says this was [http://badflipblog.blogspot.com/2009/10/tf1-armored-truck-drone.html not intentional].
*A variant of Payload, crudely textured with a shoddily compressed [[Pepsi]] livery, can be found in the internal files for [[Transformers The Game (console)|Transformers The Game]]. It was most likely cut early in development.
* Payload's altmode as an Decepticon anti-aircraft tank in ''The Veiled Threat'' gives him a form similar to that of the unreleased [[Gunbarrel (Movie)|Gunbarrel]] toy, who appeared unnamed in the Transformers: Alliance comic at the same time. Whether they were meant to be the same character is unknown.
* 2010 Payload's packaging bio describes him as an armored transport vehicle and has the same [[Tech Spec]] numbers as 2007 Payload. Sneaky Hasbro, making them the [[character|same guy]]!
* Hasbro has stated in the [[Hasbro Q&A/March 2010: Answers|March 2010 Q&A session]] that 2010 Payload is one of the Constructicon Warriors appearing in the [[Revenge of the Fallen (video games)|''Revenge of the Fallen'' video games]]. Guess he moonlights as an armored truck.
*The stock photography for both EZ Collection [[Skipjack (ROTF)|Skipjack]] and Payload depict them in shades that hew closer to orange than the yellow they came out in. Whether this was an artifact of the photographic process or an intentional plastic color-change is uncertain.

: In the [[3D Battle-Card Game]], the Payload is on the Decepticon side. Pieces punched out from two different cards can be assembled to form a SWAT truck or a robot, while a third double-sided card gives its stats and attacks for each mode. He uses the same piece layout as [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]], though his lens-head peeking up over the back end of his vehicle mode looks less doofy than Ratchet's does. This layout was later also used for [[Trailbreaker (Movie)|Trailbreaker]]. Payload's card art was done by [[Lucio Parrillo]].

==Notes==
* Artist [[Ken Christiansen]] designed Payload (and the subsequent [[Class Beta drone unit]]s), along with the other new characters in the [[Transformers The Game|''Transformers'' - The Game]] and [[Revenge of the Fallen (video games)|''Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen'' - The Game]] video games. The security company logos on his design and the toy, "Armored Security Systems", spells out "ASS". Christiansen says this was [http://badflipblog.blogspot.com/2009/10/tf1-armored-truck-drone.html not intentional].
*A variant of Payload, crudely textured with a shoddily compressed [[Pepsi]] livery, can be found in the internal files for [[Transformers The Game (console)|Transformers The Game]]. It was most likely cut early in development.
* Payload's altmode as an Decepticon anti-aircraft tank in ''The Veiled Threat'' gives him a form similar to that of the unreleased [[Gunbarrel (Movie)|Gunbarrel]] toy, who appeared unnamed in the Transformers: Alliance comic at the same time. Whether they were meant to be the same character is unknown.
* 2010 Payload's packaging bio describes him as an armored transport vehicle and has the same [[Tech Spec]] numbers as 2007 Payload. Sneaky Hasbro, making them the [[character|same guy]]!
* Hasbro has stated in the [[Hasbro Q&A/March 2010: Answers|March 2010 Q&A session]] that 2010 Payload is one of the Constructicon Warriors appearing in the [[Revenge of the Fallen (video games)|''Revenge of the Fallen'' video games]]. Guess he moonlights as an armored truck.
*The stock photography for both EZ Collection [[Skipjack (ROTF)|Skipjack]] and Payload depict them in shades that hew closer to orange than the yellow they came out in. Whether this was an artifact of the photographic process or an intentional plastic color-change is uncertain.
*Though [[Payload (ROTF)|Payload]] has a similar [[alternate mode]] to another one of Devastator's components, [[Long Haul (ROTF)|Long Haul]], he's a different, longer model of dump truck.
*Interestingly, the dump truck that transforms into Supreme Devastator's right leg is supposed to represent Long Haul and is thus green. However, the shape and details of the vehicle look much more like Payload than Long Haul's alt mode. This all comes full circle with ''[[Studio Series]]'' [[Long Haul (ROTF)#Generations|Long Haul]], which uses Payload's truck model as its vehicle mode. This may have been done for scale reasons, to make Long Haul's vehicle mode size fit better with other ''Studio Series'' Constructicons.
*When [[Hasbro_Q%26A/December_2009:_Answers|asked]], Hasbro neither had a name for this poor sod nor recognised his existence as Devastator's leg (saying there were only seven Constructicons in Devastator).

:''Payload is a [[Decepticon]], and sometimes [[Constructicon (ROTF)|Constructicon]], from the [[live-action film series]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:Payload-gamedrone.jpg|right|250px|thumb|SWAT? Maybe more like SMITE.]]

Transforming into an exceptionally fast and powerful armored truck, '''Payload''' is the one the Decepticons rely on to procure the money and energy they need to function on Earth. Whatever they need, wherever they need it, in their quest for the [[AllSpark]] it's Payload's job to get it to them, even if he has to smash right through [[Autobot]] lines to do it. What can he say? It's the ''one job he has''. Many of his allies would find his job [[Long Haul (ROTF)|boring and tedious]] compared to open fighting, but Payload not only understands how crucial his role is, he thoroughly enjoys it since it earns him praise for being a reliable soldier.

Both the Autobot and Decepticon armies make use of [[Class Beta drone unit]]s, which are heavily-armored, brutal melee fighters.

==Fiction==

===''Revenge of the Fallen'' film ===
During the climactic battle in [[Egypt]] between the Autobots, their human allies and [[The Fallen]]'s Decepticons, [[Payload (ROTF)|Payload]] appeared in a quarry with the other Constructicons, and combined with [[Skipjack (ROTF)|Skipjack]] to form [[Devastator (ROTF)|Devastator]]'s leg. When Devastator was destroyed by the experimental [[railgun]] fired from the [[United States Navy#U.S.S. Kidd (DDG-100)|U.S.S. ''Kidd'']], Payload was presumably killed. {{storylink|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen}}

===IDW movie comics===
When Megatron first began his push for domination, Payload was one of the many Cybertronians who listened to Megatron as he rallied his soldiers to push back and slaughter alien invaders. {{storylink|Defiance issue 2|Defiance #2}}

Payload was one of the Decepticons who took part in the Battle of [[Tyger Pax]] on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. He was also with [[Swindle (Movie)|Swindle]] during the interrogation of the surviving [[Autobot]] defenders. {{storylink|Movie Prequel issue 1|Movie Prequel #1}}

[[Image:ReignofStarscream4 Payload.jpg|left|250px|thumb|"Keg coming through!"]]

Payload remained back on Cybertron, under the command of [[Dreadwing (Movie)|Dreadwing]]. When Starscream returned with the knowledge to build a new All Spark, [[Class Beta drone unit|Class Beta drones]] were among those assigned to guard the Autobot slaves who were being forced to build the new Cube. They brutally punished [[Warpath (Movie)|Warpath]] when he saw to the exhausted [[Grindcore (Movie)|Grindcore]]. Later, after the new All Spark was completed, Payload arrived leading a team of drones carrying the massive generators required to drain the [[Spark|life force]] out of the Autobot prisoners and put it into the Cube. He dissed Dreadwing's drone army for not being much help to them. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 3|The Reign of Starscream #3}} {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 4|The Reign of Starscream #4}}

Unfortunately for Starscream, the Cube didn't work, and Dreadwing's forces betrayed him. During the battle between Starscream's loyalists, [[Arcee (Movie)|Arcee's]] Autobots and Dreadwing's traitors, Payload grappled with [[Stockade (Movie)|Stockade]], who eventually got the better of him. His fate is unknown. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 5|The Reign of Starscream #5}}

A team of snazzy red Payloads were used to guard the [[Savannah]] All Spark facility. [[Bonecrusher (Movie)|Bonecrusher]] had them stand down so he could beat up the Autobots himself {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 11|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 3}} and they got so bored they painted themselves blue again between issues. When they were allowed to battle, they almost overwhelmed the Autobot rebels but eventually failed to kill them or save the facility. Also, ''[[Bonecrusher (Movie)|Bonecrusher]]'' smashed them real good simply cos they were in the way. Not the best boss on Earth... {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 13|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 5}}

[[Image:Payloads_Titan24.JPG|left|250px|thumb|''Move bitch, get out the way Get out the way...'']]

An army of Payloads made an assault on oil pipelines in [[Alaska]] as part of a major campaign. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 16|Dark Spark}}

An even ''bigger'' army of them stood around going "GRRRR" as part of a Decepticon group shot when the [[Decepticon Heartland]] prepared for war. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 23|Revolution Part 1}} And an even bigger army than ''that'' served as the bulk of the invasion force when Starscream announced the re-conquest of the USA.

Unfortunately for Starscream, the Payloads under [[Hardtop (Movie)|Hardtop]] were intercepted by [[Stockade (Movie)|Stockade]] and his crew, and [[Fracture (Movie)|Fracture]] reprogrammed the entire platoon to work for ''them''. They became the first defected drones in a [[Decepticon Civil War]], including [[:Image:Titan24_greenMdrone.jpg|some with different colouring schemes]], {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 24|Revolution Part 2}} and soon ''all'' of them were under Stockade's command, since every one that wasn't had been slagged.

Following the sudden Autobot strike that saw every Decepticon exiled from Earth, the Payloads remained. The Autobots have now got the task of decommissioning all of these drones. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 25|Revolution Part 3}}

===''The Veiled Threat''===
{{Note|The events of ''The Veiled Threat'' take place during [[IDW Publishing]]'s ''[[Transformers: Alliance|Alliance]]'' comic.}}
Payload came to Earth in response to [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]]'s signal, sent out after [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]'s death. When Starscream recruited the [[Human Accessory Force]], he joined in a battle to capture a dam construction site in [[Zambia]]. He was skeptical of Starscream's claim that Megatron was truly dead, but accepted [[Macerator (ROTF)|Macerator]]'s word that the recordings of the event clearly showed Megatron being killed. Once the Autobots had come to investigate the Decepticon activity, Payload, Macerator and [[Dropkick (Movie)|Dropkick]] lured them into the Zambezi River to fight. Though Payload managed to keep Ironhide distracted as they neared Victoria Falls, two humans, [[Kaminari Ishihara]] and [[Petr Andronov]] interfered with the fight using strange hi-tech guns, and Payload was forced to retreat.

The three Decepticons proceeded to Kariba Dam, where Payload descended into the gorge and started blasting away at the bottom of the dam, with the intention of rupturing it. When the Autobots caught up with them, Ratchet started attempting to repair the dam, and Payload began firing at him instead. He inflicted heavy damage on Ratchet, however the humans released the floodgates on the dam. Unable to withstand the raging torrent, Payload was swept away. Optimus later spoke of tracking down and terminating the Decepticon, but it's unclear if this was done. {{storylink|Transformers: The Veiled Threat|The Veiled Threat}}

===Toy bios===
[[Image:Payloadpackageart2010.jpg|thumb|right|200px|You can't tell from the picture, but he's having a giggle fit right now.]]
When the [[Decepticon]]s need something delivered, they can turn to the [[Constructicon Warrior]] Payload. His heavily armored and powerful body allows him to simply smash obstacles. [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] is the latest Autobot to get in his way, and Payload is amused that Ratchet thinks he can stop him.

*'''Payload''' (Deluxe, 2007)
**''Japanese ID number'': '''MD-17'''

: Payload transforms into a [http://www.armoredvehicles.com/armored/swat/Bulldog2.html Bulldog II Armored Truck] model based on the Decepticon-drone coloration and face type. In robot mode, his midsection has a large push-out grabber-claw that extends waaaaaaaaaaaaay far out. Of course, when the claw-shaft stores in robot mode, it sticks equally far out of his back.

: Several pieces on Payload tend to pop off easily: his brush guard, midriff-plate/claw-center, and even his upper shoulder/head assembly. The mold was later retooled to include larger pegs for the shoulder/head assembly and an added tab on the brush-guard, to connect to the new slot in the claw plunger. While this was intended to give the pieces a better fit, it actually puts more pressure on the parts and causes them to pop off even more easily. The chest piece, however, fits fairly well on either version, but is still easy to remove.

: Payload had a tendency to [[Shelfwarmer|sit on shelves]] for weeks, with some examples of end displays filled completely with Payload figures. This has led to some fans affectionately renaming him ''Pegload''.

: The mold was later retooled into ''[[Movie Advanced Series]]'' [[Dispensor]].

In robot mode, he has three "[[Mech Alive]]" gimmicks: turning his head also turns a cog in his chest, bending his elbows moves some pistons, and finally, moving his feet also moves the "springs" connected to them inwards. Only the piston gimmick is advertised on the packaging. Meanwhile, each forearm houses a spring-loaded, flip-out axe.

:Payload has a mild [[variant]], where the purple paint on his head and chest can be very dark and flat or extremely deep and shiny. The latter version seems to be the harder to find, although exact quantities of each are unknown.

The three Decepticons proceeded to Kariba Dam, where Payload descended into the gorge and started blasting away at the bottom of the dam, with the intention of rupturing it. When the Autobots caught up with them, Ratchet started attempting to repair the dam, and Payload began firing at him instead. He inflicted heavy damage on Ratchet, however the humans released the floodgates on the dam. Unable to withstand the raging torrent, Payload was swept away. Optimus later spoke of tracking down and terminating the Decepticon, but it's unclear if this was done. {{storylink|Transformers: The Veiled Threat|The Veiled Threat}}

When the [[Decepticon]]s need something delivered, they can turn to the [[Constructicon Warrior]] Payload. His heavily armored and powerful body allows him to simply smash obstacles. [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] is the latest Autobot to get in his way, and Payload is amused that Ratchet thinks he can stop him.

*'''Payload''' (Deluxe, 2007)
**''Japanese ID number'': '''MD-17'''

: Payload transforms into a [http://www.armoredvehicles.com/armored/swat/Bulldog2.html Bulldog II Armored Truck] model based on the Decepticon-drone coloration and face type. In robot mode, his midsection has a large push-out grabber-claw that extends waaaaaaaaaaaaay far out. Of course, when the claw-shaft stores in robot mode, it sticks equally far out of his back.

: Several pieces on Payload tend to pop off easily: his brush guard, midriff-plate/claw-center, and even his upper shoulder/head assembly. The mold was later retooled to include larger pegs for the shoulder/head assembly and an added tab on the brush-guard, to connect to the new slot in the claw plunger. While this was intended to give the pieces a better fit, it actually puts more pressure on the parts and causes them to pop off even more easily. The chest piece, however, fits fairly well on either version, but is still easy to remove.

: Payload had a tendency to [[Shelfwarmer|sit on shelves]] for weeks, with some examples of end displays filled completely with Payload figures. This has led to some fans affectionately renaming him ''Pegload''.

: The mold was later retooled into ''[[Movie Advanced Series]]'' [[Dispensor]].

In robot mode, he has three "[[Mech Alive]]" gimmicks: turning his head also turns a cog in his chest, bending his elbows moves some pistons, and finally, moving his feet also moves the "springs" connected to them inwards. Only the piston gimmick is advertised on the packaging. Meanwhile, each forearm houses a spring-loaded, flip-out axe.

:Payload has a mild [[variant]], where the purple paint on his head and chest can be very dark and flat or extremely deep and shiny. The latter version seems to be the harder to find, although exact quantities of each are unknown.

==Notes==
* Artist [[Ken Christiansen]] designed Payload (and the subsequent [[Class Beta drone unit]]s), along with the other new characters in the [[Transformers The Game|''Transformers'' - The Game]] and [[Revenge of the Fallen (video games)|''Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen'' - The Game]] video games. The security company logos on his design and the toy, "Armored Security Systems", spells out "ASS". Christiansen says this was [http://badflipblog.blogspot.com/2009/10/tf1-armored-truck-drone.html not intentional].
*A variant of Payload, crudely textured with a shoddily compressed [[Pepsi]] livery, can be found in the internal files for [[Transformers The Game (console)|Transformers The Game]]. It was most likely cut early in development.
* Payload's altmode as an Decepticon anti-aircraft tank in ''The Veiled Threat'' gives him a form similar to that of the unreleased [[Gunbarrel (Movie)|Gunbarrel]] toy, who appeared unnamed in the Transformers: Alliance comic at the same time. Whether they were meant to be the same character is unknown.
* 2010 Payload's packaging bio describes him as an armored transport vehicle and has the same [[Tech Spec]] numbers as 2007 Payload. Sneaky Hasbro, making them the [[character|same guy]]!
* Hasbro has stated in the [[Hasbro Q&A/March 2010: Answers|March 2010 Q&A session]] that 2010 Payload is one of the Constructicon Warriors appearing in the [[Revenge of the Fallen (video games)|''Revenge of the Fallen'' video games]]. Guess he moonlights as an armored truck.
*The stock photography for both EZ Collection [[Skipjack (ROTF)|Skipjack]] and Payload depict them in shades that hew closer to orange than the yellow they came out in. Whether this was an artifact of the photographic process or an intentional plastic color-change is uncertain.
*Though [[Payload (ROTF)|Payload]] has a similar [[alternate mode]] to another one of Devastator's components, [[Long Haul (ROTF)|Long Haul]], he's a different, longer model of dump truck.
*Interestingly, the dump truck that transforms into Supreme Devastator's right leg is supposed to represent Long Haul and is thus green. However, the shape and details of the vehicle look much more like Payload than Long Haul's alt mode. This all comes full circle with ''[[Studio Series]]'' [[Long Haul (ROTF)#Generations|Long Haul]], which uses Payload's truck model as its vehicle mode. This may have been done for scale reasons, to make Long Haul's vehicle mode size fit better with other ''Studio Series'' Constructicons.
*When [[Hasbro_Q%26A/December_2009:_Answers|asked]], Hasbro neither had a name for this poor sod nor recognised his existence as Devastator's leg (saying there were only seven Constructicons in Devastator).

The '''Constructicons''' are a group of Decepticons that take the form of various construction vehicles, many sharing alternate modes, [[body-type]]s and even names. Constructicons have been built since the dawn of the Transformer race, and used to be considered simple [[drone]]s.<ref>[[Tales of the Fallen issue 3|''Tales of the Fallen'' #3]]</ref>

Unlike previous continuities, it seems as if only ''some'', not all, of the Constructicons are [[combiner]]s. They combine into [[Devastator (ROTF)|Devastator]].

[[File:ROTFMegatronrebirth.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|Can we fix him? Yes we can!]]
[[NEST]] followed Demolishor to [[Shanghai]], [[China]], and he was executed by [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]].

After the [[AllSpark]] shard was retrieved from NEST's secure bunker at [[Diego Garcia]], [[Long Haul (ROTF)|Long Haul]], [[Rampage (ROTF)|Rampage]], [[Mixmaster (ROTF)|Mixmaster]], [[Scalpel (ROTF)|Scalpel]], [[Ravage (ROTF)|Ravage]] and [[Scrapmetal (ROTF)|Scrapmetal]] secreted themselves aboard the ''[[Bayos]]'' freighter heading towards the North Atlantic. Once the ship passed over the [[Laurentian Abyss]], the Decepticons jumped overboard and dived down to where [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]'s broken body lay. Scalpel ordered the death of [[Scrapmetal (ROTF)|Scrapmetal]] to rebuild Megatron, a request that Long Haul and Mixmaster readily granted. Soon, Megatron was reborn!

[[File:Constructicons-ROTFcanyon.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.67|You'd better have a good reason for bringing us here!]]
Long Haul and [[Hightower (ROTF)|Hightower]] waited in a quarry near the [[Egypt]]ian [[pyramid]]s for Mixmaster to arrive with Skipjack, [[Scrapper (ROTF)|Scrapper]], [[Scavenger (ROTF)|Scavenger]], [[Overload (ROTF)|Overload]], [[Payload (ROTF)|Payload]] and [[Scrapmetal (ROTF)|Scrapmetal]], and they combined into [[Devastator (ROTF)|Devastator]]. Devastator battled [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] and [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]], before climbing up the [[Great Pyramid of Giza]] to excavate the [[Star Harvester]] within. Devastator was blown up by an experimental [[rail gun]] fired by the [[United States Navy#U.S.S. Kidd (DDG-100)|USS ''Kidd'']].

Elsewhere during [[Operation: Firestorm]], Long Haul, Scrapper, Mixmaster and Rampage hunted for [[Sam Witwicky]] in an abandoned town. Rampage was ordered by [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] to spring a trap by demanding Sam hand over the [[Matrix of Leadership]] in exchange for his captive parents [[Ron Witwicky|Ron]] and [[Judy Witwicky|Judy]], but [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] attacked and killed him. [[Jetfire (Movie)|Jetfire]] killed Mixmaster, while the others died in a bombing raid by the [[United States Air Force]]. {{storylink|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen}}

===IDW comics===
[[File:Defiance4 Constructicons.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|The Constructicons build a monument to their manhood.]]
In the distant past, the [[AllSpark]] Cube created the [[Dynasty of Primes]], a race of powerful, trans-dimensional beings as the first inhabitants of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. The Cube gave these beings mighty powers, as well as terraforming their world, but it was not limitless, and gradually became depleted. The first beings learned that the AllSpark's power could be replenished by harvesting the energy of stars, but they were unable to locate new stars to suit their purposes, despite their amazing ability to travel between dimensions. Once again, the Cube came to the rescue, creating a race of workers, who had the ability to change their shape.

The "builder" workers were among the very first of these new beings, who would construct a [[Star Harvester|harvester]] when a suitable sun had been found. Once built, the device would drain the energy of these stars, thus replenishing the AllSpark. {{Storylink|Defiance issue 4|Defiance #4}} The Primes ruled harvesters could not be used on a sun that replenished life, but one of them began to defy this rule and gathered together a few rogue "construction drones" and a [[Seeker (ROTF)|Seeker]] to secretly harvest suns and ignoring the genocide they caused. The other Primes found out and followed them to [[Earth]], and [[The Fallen]] Prime teleported his servants elsewhere, but the Seeker [[Jetfire (Movie)|Jetfire]] turned on the builders and killed them. {{Storylink|Tales of the Fallen issue 3|Tales of the Fallen #3}}

It is assumed that at some point during the civil war on Cybertron, the remaining builders sided with [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]], the new protege of their only surviving ancient master, The Fallen. In Megatron's [[Decepticon]] army, they became known as the Constructicons. In at least one battle, [[Devastator (ROTF)|Devastator]] was present. {{storylink|Tales of the Fallen issue 2|Tales of the Fallen #2}}

There were many Constructicons aboard the ''[[Nemesis (ROTF)|Nemesis]]'', as they were needed to excavate the harvester. [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] did not consider them smart enough to be allowed on the bridge. When the ''Nemesis'' and ''[[Ark (DOTM)|Ark]]'' collided, Soundwave had them placed in the cargo hold of the ''[[Longshot (DOTM)|Longshot]]'' when they gave pursuit of the Autobot ship. {{storylink|Convergence chapter 1}} When they returned to the ''Nemesis'', the Constructicons grumbled at almost immediately having to return to [[Earth]], so Soundwave placed them in stasis. {{storylink|Convergence chapter 4}}

During the war, [[Demolishor (ROTF)|Demolishor]] destroyed an [[Autobot]] colony guarded by [[Sideswipe (Movie)|Sideswipe]], who swore revenge and tracked him to [[Buenos Aires]], Argentina. The Constructicon drew out Sideswipe but fled when [[NEST]] forces led by [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] and [[William Lennox]] arrived. {{storylink|Tales of the Fallen issue 2|Tales of the Fallen #2}}

[[Scavenger (ROTF)|Scavenger]], [[Long Haul (ROTF)|Long Haul]], [[Scrapper (ROTF)|Scrapper]], [[Overload (ROTF)|Overload]], and [[Mixmaster (ROTF)|Mixmaster]] arrived in Egypt together along with other Constructicons and Decepticons to battle the Autobots.
{{storylink|Revenge of the Fallen issue 3|Revenge of the Fallen #3}}

Some of the Constructicons combined into Devastator and revealed the star harvester hidden beneath a pyramid. Devastator was destroyed by a prototype [[rail gun]] soon afterwards. At the same time, [[Rampage (ROTF)|Rampage]] and Long Haul fought in the battle and were defeated by Bumblebee and Jetfire, respectively. {{storylink|Revenge of the Fallen issue 4|Revenge of the Fallen #4}}

===''The Veiled Threat''===
The Constructions [[Kickback (ROTF)|Kickback]], [[Trample]], and [[Tread]] came to Earth hoping to be able to revive their leader [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]. They were mining for uranium in the [[Australia]]n outback in the hopes that if they collected enough energy, they could jump-start Megatron's spark.

[[NEST]] became aware of their presence when they picked up their intermittent energy signatures. They sent a strike team consisting of [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]], [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]], [[Salvage (Movie)|Salvage]], [[William Lennox]], and [[Kaminari Ishihara]] to take care of them.

The Decepticons recovered Devastator's remains, and brought them to the peaks of [[British Columbia]], [[Canada]], so that the behemoth could be repaired by a squad of Constructicon drone units. These drones appeared to be a model of [[purple generic drone]]s, and had both crane and front load shovel forms. That nasty [[Stratosphere]] blew up the poor drones and then destroyed the half-rebuilt Devastator. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.14|Head in the Clouds}}

:Like the on-screen combiner, but unlike the Supreme Class Devastator toy, the ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' Legends Class Devastator comprises seven Constructicons, including the elusive [[Overload (ROTF)#Toys|Overload]], each with individual robot modes. Because of this, he is a lot more complex than the Supreme class toy, with a more "layered" look than his movie counterpart had. Devastator is (roughly) Deluxe sized while standing up. The only real drawback he has is that he almost has no articulation. But hey, you can't have everything, right?

:In [[Hasbro]]'s markets, this Devastator set was available as a [[Walmart]] [[exclusive]] in North America, an Argos exclusive in the UK and a Farmers exclusive in New Zealand, packaged in a currently-unique clear box in gestalt mode. A huge two-sided instruction sheet explains transformation in both directions from gestalt to vehicles and vehicles to robots, with the curious note that "Some poses may require hand support".

:In [[Japan]], the Constructicon team members were available individually. Unlike the usual EZ collection toys, the Constructicons are not blind packed but packed in much the same way as Hasbro's Legends Class releases.

====Deluxe Class toys====
[[Image:ROTF deluxe Rampage.jpg|300px|thumb]]
*'''Rampage''' (Deluxe Class, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RD-06'''

:Rampage transforms from a yellow bulldozer similar to a Komatsu D575A into one of two robot mode configurations, the first of which (his actual in-fiction robot form) is distinctly [[Vehicon (BM)|Vehicon]]-esque. It lacks any functional legs, instead featuring a spring-loaded "jackhammer" assembly. When the figure is bounced along the ground in this mode, his [[Mech Alive]] feature is activated, and a pair of pistons that frame his head pump back and forth. The shovel can be removed in this mode and used as a stand. If legs are preferred, his jackhammer splits and his elaborate [[kibble]] backpack unfolds, together forming four leg-struts to create a free-standing robot form that is rather centaurian in design. Though not mentioned in the instructions or package, the aforementioned backpack can remain folded in robot mode for a more movie-accurate, two-legged 'play' mode of sorts. He features real rubber treads which become arm-mounted whip weapons in robot mode. Unfortunately, due to this design, the treads themselves do not function in vehicle mode.

:Like several toys in the ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' toyline, Rampage has had a mold change done somewhere between his instructions being drawn up and the final version of the toy. On the final toy, the rear flap behind the cabin of the bulldozer runs into a screw section used to hold the robot pelvis together. This change also affects where the rear flap and the bulldozer shovel connect in robot mode. On the instructions, this flap is shown as folding flat against the back of the vehicle and said flap is also folded down much farther in robot mode to connect to the shovel. The mold change seems to account for the shovel connection issue in robot mode, but not the problem in vehicle mode. Unlike some others, this change does not directly affect any of the toy's action features or articulation.

[[File:ROTF_Deluxe_Red_Rampage.jpg|300px|thumb]]
*'''Rampage''' (Deluxe Class, 2010)

:As a redeco of Rampage's first Deluxe Class toy in red, this release of Rampage represents a more [[show-accuracy|movie accurate]] version of the Rampage who fought Bumblebee in Egypt. Hasbro's version of red Rampage is a straight colour swap, with his yellow plastic replaced with red plastic. As one of the last two figures released in the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Deluxe Class assortment, the red version of Rampage and his casemate [[Evac (Movie)|Evac]] were insanely difficult (if not impossible) to find in U.S. retail stores.
{{-}}

====Voyager Class toys====
[[Image:ROTF Voyager Demolishor.jpg|300px|thumb]]
*'''Demolishor''' (Voyager Class, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RD-03'''

:Demolishor transforms from a red [http://www.mining-power.de/rh400/erh400.html Terex RH400 mining excavator] into a unique robot mode via a surprisingly complex transformation. His [[Mech Alive]] gimmick in robot mode is a drum in each arm that spins when you move his lower arm (not in the shoulders as the packaging call out states). He has real rubber treads that sadly can't move, and no little plastic wheels that help it move either. He is almost impossible to stand up—let alone pose—but it ''can'' be managed.

:In the film, Demolishor's vehicle mode features a lot more white. This toy's colors are actually a match to [[Scavenger (ROTF)|Scavenger's]] colors.

:Like several ''Revenge of the Fallen'' toys, such as [[Starscream (Movie)/toys#Voyager_Class_toys_2|Voyager Class Starscream]] and [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#Leader_Class_toys_2|Leader Class Optimus Prime]], Demolishor is yet another victim of late mold changes due to 2008-2009 economic problems. On the back of the box, his treads are pictured as being made of several individual, linked plastic sections. The sections were apparently recast as a single rubber tread ring instead for the final toy.

:Also, left out on the instruction was that the shovel "teeth"/robot mode fingers are articulated (albeit via a very tight joint).
{{-}}

[[File:Mixmaster ROTF Voyager toy.jpg|thumb|400px]]
*'''Mixmaster''' (Voyager Class, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RD-12'''
**''Accessories:'' Missile

:''Revenge of the Fallen'' Voyager Class Mixmaster transforms into a gray and silver cement mixer with purple windows and headlights, based loosely on the {{w|Mack Trucks|Mack Granite}} truck seen in the film. The vehicle mode's mixing drum is incapable of rotating due to the transformation, but does boast a pair of gigantic Decepticon logos on either side. The cement chute at the rear of the vehicle mode can accurately raise and lower on a hinge, and the cannon can be fixed to fire directly overhead or behind at pursuing vehicles.

:His robot mode is designed to be squat with very long arms, but in order to be fully functional and look like the stock photo, his legs at the hip joints must be slightly mistransformed from what is depicted in his instructions. This results in a robot mode that is very thin and lanky, with numerous joints on the extremely long arms alone. The packaging calls out [[Mech Alive]] gimmickry in the form of "spinning gears" on his chest, but the feature is only present at the thighs and forearms, which reveal shifting internal bits when the joints are rotated. The robot mode's missile-firing cannon is locked in place on its back pointing straight upward; it can be raised over Mixmaster's head, although this involves letting the cab hang loose on his back as it's designed to attach to the cannon. Alternately the toy can be transformed to its artillery cannon-like Battle Mode that has him essentially performing a belly flop, letting the launcher fire forward. At least, according to the Battle Mode's official depiction on the instructions.

[[File:ROTFVoyager_MixmasterBattleMode.JPG|thumb|left|250px|BUMM]]
:The instructions and the box pictures show the joint that attaches the cab to the robot to be inverted, with the released toy having the cab joint [[Misassembly|upside-down]] as compared with what is in the instructions and box pictures. Out of the box, the toy cannot exactly mimic the battle mode of the instructions or [[stock photography|stock photo]]s, but it's close enough for most people to assume they were doing something wrong until one realizes this mis-assembly. The joint can be corrected by the removal and re-attachment of the metal pin behind the front-bumper, but this is not as easy as it sounds and may potentially be damaging to the toy. This only applies to the Hasbro version of the instructions, however, as the Japanese Takara release had instructions depicting a completely different battle mode, which utilised the joint in the direction it is assembled, as well as pegs and holes present on the rear wheel segments and the inside of the cab respectively.

:The image of the cement mixer mode on the packaging has been flipped horizontally as well, leaving the location of the ladder switched. Additionally, the robot mode image on the packaging has a different mold for the mixing drum shells, with rectangular-shaped pegs rather than circular.

====Combiner Class toys====
[[File:ROTF Devastator combiner toy.jpg|300px|thumb|Actually movie accurate... [[Overload (ROTF)|NOT.]]]]
*'''Constructicon Devastator''' (2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RD-16'''

:Devastator is formed from the combination of six transforming construction vehicle toys that do not have individual robot modes. Unlike [[Duocon|prior]] [[Optimus Prime (Armada)/toys#Energon|cases]] of this format, Devastator's vehicles represent separate Transformers, [[Scavenger (ROTF)#Combiner Class toys|and]] [[Rampage (ROTF)#Combiner Class toys|most]] [[Long Haul (ROTF)#Combiner Class toys|of]] [[Mixmaster (ROTF)#Combiner Class toys|them]] have other non-combiner toys that ''do'' have robot modes.

:Despite the figure's complex appearance (from the front anyway), the limbs' transformations into combined mode are rather simple. Fortunately, this makes him a lot easier to muck with than some of the other larger-scale ''Revenge of the Fallen'' toys. This is good, because Devastator is ENORMOUS. His smallest limbs (his legs) are the size of Deluxe-class toys, and his largest components are bigger than Leader-class toys. While the legs can not be swapped (unless for some reason you want a backwards walking Devastator), the arms can be swapped around. The pegs meant to plug Rampage and Long Haul into Devastator's hips also fit snugly into the sockets meant for connecting Scrapper and Hightower to Scavenger... if you're inclined to have a random arm connected to a stray leg with no body in between, or a vehicle mode about as useful as a poorly matched [[Micromaster Combiner]] pair.

[[File:TF-ROTF-Supreme-Class-Devastator-(Takara-Tomy).jpg|thumb|left|150px|You've got red on you.]]
:The toy's electronics are all in the Mixmaster component. Pressing the button makes Devastator's mouth open and activates voice clips and engine sounds, as well as green lights in his mouth and eyes. Pressing the button for a few seconds activates his "Vortex grinder". However, the button trigger is so sensitive that he ''never shuts up''. In Devastator mode, his mouth can be locked into the open position by clicking his lower jaw sections into the large tank treads that form his shoulders. His mouth is enormous, and it lights up all pretty and green. He can easily swallow any Legends-class toy and spit it out the other side by opening up the back of his head. Covering Devastator's head when separating him from the torso and turning him back into Mixmaster's vehicle mode activates the transformation noise, and after that somehow makes engine stalling noises without pulling the trigger.

:Sadly, Devastator has a hard time standing on all four of his limbs, and is most stable standing on his hind legs. This is mainly because the most weight is located in the head, and his fingers are not made to hold that weight. He will also look straight to the ground unless you lock his head in place with the lower jaw.

:The Japanese [[TakaraTomy]] release of this figure has extra paint applications on Devastator's face, for a better resemblance to the final CG model.

:This Legends Class Rampage is an all-new mold that is different from the Legends class Rampage that came with Legends Class Constructicon Devastator. Because he is not encumbered with the need to combine, both his robot and vehicle modes are much more accurate and detailed. His "jackhammer" mode can be achieved by connecting his legs together and flipping his cab-feet down as the tip (as per the [[stock photography|stock photos]]), although he will not be able to stand up well. Meanwhile, his [[instructions]] depict a more stable biped configuration, with his legs spread out and his cab-feet folded back in their vehicle mode position as his "heels".

:Announced to commemorate the 10th anniversary of ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'', ''[[Studio Series]]'' Devastator consists of eight (yes, eight) Constructicons to combine into one mechanical four-legged giant. While being meant to celebrate the tenth anniversary, some members were released in 2020.

:Despite the ''Studio Series'' line's focus on screen-accuracy, Devastator once again omits [[Payload (ROTF)|Payload]] (though the truck mode was used for [[Long Haul (ROTF)|Long Haul]], albeit, in green), and [[Scrapmetal (ROTF)|Scrapmetal]] He transforms into a Volvo excavator (which was the vehicle mode he had before his death) instead of a Caterpillar M9-30 bulldozer with a scoop attachment, (which is the vehicle mode he has when Devastator was formed on-screen). [[Rampage (ROTF)|Rampage]] was redecoed into [[Skipjack (ROTF)|Skipjack]] as an option for a more accurate Devastator. Hasbro will probably also repaint other Constructicons into [[Demolishor (ROTF)|Demolishor]] and [[Payload (Movie)|Payload]] in the future.

:For those new to the movie franchise, [[:File:Devastator_insignia.jpg|Devastator's picture]] is on the side of the packaging for his components to signify their involvement in his assembly, similar to the ''[[Prime Wars Trilogy]]'' combiner bots. A large picture of the prototype CG model for Devastator is also present.

==Notes==
*In the [[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (novel)|''Revenge of the Fallen'' novel adaptation]], the four Constructicons that accompany Ravage to the [[Laurentian Abyss]] are not named, but described as bipedal, disqualifying Rampage. This is contradicted by the movie, as the Rampage that later battles [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] is almost certainly one of the four.
*[http://web.archive.org/web/20160324114012/http://www.stevejung.net/gallery/displayimage.php?album=4&pos=10 One abandoned Constructicon concept] by artist [[Steve Jung]] was a "nurse" that would have transformed into a Volvo wheel loader. It is unknown if this character later evolved into the character referred to as [[Scrapmetal (ROTF)|Scrapmetal]], who alternately transformed into a Volvo excavator and a yellow front-end loader.
*Other abandoned Constructicon concepts by Jung include [http://web.archive.org/web/20160324032850/http://www.stevejung.net/gallery/displayimage.php?album=4&pos=11 a rockwheel trencher] and [http://web.archive.org/web/20160324114008/http://www.stevejung.net/gallery/displayimage.php?album=4&pos=12 a clawed crane].

===Constructicons defined===
{{bigquote|There are other Constructicons too, but we only have so much space on the page!|[[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]]|"[[Transformers Comic issue 2.17|Law and Disorder]]"}}

Determining who is and who isn't a Constructicon is a little more problematic than it may first appear. The subgroup is not especially well defined. Over time, ''any'' Decepticon from the 2009 film and related media/toys that has a construction vehicle [[alternate mode]] has been said to be a Constructicon. This is then complicated by the amount of Constructicons with the same name and form as each other, which indicates "Constructicon" is a type of drone... except then, with Constructicon Scouts and the drones in Titan Comics, there are ''explicit'' drones without individual names! Add in that bios and other media have given Constructicons individual personalities, even though they have counterparts: does this mean every Rampage, for example, has anger issues?

Also, the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' film taken by itself does not feature any Constructicons with individual robot modes that also form a part of Devastator. There's only construction vehicles that turn into individual robots, and construction vehicles that combine into Devastator. If one were to only watch the movie and not be aware of the toys or other media, one might come to the conclusion that Devastator is simply a really large member of the Constructicons that splits up into multiple construction vehicles for his alternate mode.

Transformersbrasil: just putting a tie on a few loose ends.

{{factions|decepticonfilm}}
{{disambig3|Payload}}
:''Payload is a [[Decepticon]], and sometimes [[Constructicon (ROTF)|Constructicon]], from the [[live-action film series]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:Payload-gamedrone.jpg|right|250px|thumb|SWAT? Maybe more like SMITE.]]

Transforming into an exceptionally fast and powerful armored truck, '''Payload''' is the one the Decepticons rely on to procure the money and energy they need to function on Earth. Whatever they need, wherever they need it, in their quest for the [[AllSpark]] it's Payload's job to get it to them, even if he has to smash right through [[Autobot]] lines to do it. What can he say? It's the ''one job he has''. Many of his allies would find his job [[Long Haul (ROTF)|boring and tedious]] compared to open fighting, but Payload not only understands how crucial his role is, he thoroughly enjoys it since it earns him praise for being a reliable soldier.

Both the Autobot and Decepticon armies make use of [[Class Beta drone unit]]s, which are heavily-armored, brutal melee fighters.

===''Revenge of the Fallen'' film ===
During the climactic battle in [[Egypt]] between the Autobots, their human allies and [[The Fallen]]'s Decepticons, [[Payload (ROTF)|Payload]] appeared in a quarry with the other Constructicons, and combined with [[Skipjack (ROTF)|Skipjack]] to form [[Devastator (ROTF)|Devastator]]'s leg. When Devastator was destroyed by the experimental [[railgun]] fired from the [[United States Navy#U.S.S. Kidd (DDG-100)|U.S.S. ''Kidd'']], Payload was presumably killed. {{storylink|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen}}

Payload remained back on Cybertron, under the command of [[Dreadwing (Movie)|Dreadwing]]. When Starscream returned with the knowledge to build a new All Spark, [[Class Beta drone unit|Class Beta drones]] were among those assigned to guard the Autobot slaves who were being forced to build the new Cube. They brutally punished [[Warpath (Movie)|Warpath]] when he saw to the exhausted [[Grindcore (Movie)|Grindcore]]. Later, after the new All Spark was completed, Payload arrived leading a team of drones carrying the massive generators required to drain the [[Spark|life force]] out of the Autobot prisoners and put it into the Cube. He dissed Dreadwing's drone army for not being much help to them. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 3|The Reign of Starscream #3}} {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 4|The Reign of Starscream #4}}

Unfortunately for Starscream, the Cube didn't work, and Dreadwing's forces betrayed him. During the battle between Starscream's loyalists, [[Arcee (Movie)|Arcee's]] Autobots and Dreadwing's traitors, Payload grappled with [[Stockade (Movie)|Stockade]], who eventually got the better of him. His fate is unknown. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 5|The Reign of Starscream #5}}

An army of Payloads made an assault on oil pipelines in [[Alaska]] as part of a major campaign. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 16|Dark Spark}}

An even ''bigger'' army of them stood around going "GRRRR" as part of a Decepticon group shot when the [[Decepticon Heartland]] prepared for war. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 23|Revolution Part 1}} And an even bigger army than ''that'' served as the bulk of the invasion force when Starscream announced the re-conquest of the USA.

Unfortunately for Starscream, the Payloads under [[Hardtop (Movie)|Hardtop]] were intercepted by [[Stockade (Movie)|Stockade]] and his crew, and [[Fracture (Movie)|Fracture]] reprogrammed the entire platoon to work for ''them''. They became the first defected drones in a [[Decepticon Civil War]], including [[:Image:Titan24_greenMdrone.jpg|some with different colouring schemes]], {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 24|Revolution Part 2}} and soon ''all'' of them were under Stockade's command, since every one that wasn't had been slagged.

Following the sudden Autobot strike that saw every Decepticon exiled from Earth, the Payloads remained. The Autobots have now got the task of decommissioning all of these drones. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 25|Revolution Part 3}}

===''The Veiled Threat''===
{{Note|The events of ''The Veiled Threat'' take place during [[IDW Publishing]]'s ''[[Transformers: Alliance|Alliance]]'' comic.}}
Payload came to Earth in response to [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]]'s signal, sent out after [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]'s death. When Starscream recruited the [[Human Accessory Force]], he joined in a battle to capture a dam construction site in [[Zambia]]. He was skeptical of Starscream's claim that Megatron was truly dead, but accepted [[Macerator (ROTF)|Macerator]]'s word that the recordings of the event clearly showed Megatron being killed. Once the Autobots had come to investigate the Decepticon activity, Payload, Macerator and [[Dropkick (Movie)|Dropkick]] lured them into the Zambezi River to fight. Though Payload managed to keep Ironhide distracted as they neared Victoria Falls, two humans, [[Kaminari Ishihara]] and [[Petr Andronov]] interfered with the fight using strange hi-tech guns, and Payload was forced to retreat.

The three Decepticons proceeded to Kariba Dam, where Payload descended into the gorge and started blasting away at the bottom of the dam, with the intention of rupturing it. When the Autobots caught up with them, Ratchet started attempting to repair the dam, and Payload began firing at him instead. He inflicted heavy damage on Ratchet, however the humans released the floodgates on the dam. Unable to withstand the raging torrent, Payload was swept away. Optimus later spoke of tracking down and terminating the Decepticon, but it's unclear if this was done. {{storylink|Transformers: The Veiled Threat|The Veiled Threat}}

===Toy bios===
[[Image:Payloadpackageart2010.jpg|thumb|right|200px|You can't tell from the picture, but he's having a giggle fit right now.]]
When the [[Decepticon]]s need something delivered, they can turn to the [[Constructicon Warrior]] Payload. His heavily armored and powerful body allows him to simply smash obstacles. [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] is the latest Autobot to get in his way, and Payload is amused that Ratchet thinks he can stop him.

: Payload transforms into a [http://www.armoredvehicles.com/armored/swat/Bulldog2.html Bulldog II Armored Truck] model based on the Decepticon-drone coloration and face type. In robot mode, his midsection has a large push-out grabber-claw that extends waaaaaaaaaaaaay far out. Of course, when the claw-shaft stores in robot mode, it sticks equally far out of his back.

: Several pieces on Payload tend to pop off easily: his brush guard, midriff-plate/claw-center, and even his upper shoulder/head assembly. The mold was later retooled to include larger pegs for the shoulder/head assembly and an added tab on the brush-guard, to connect to the new slot in the claw plunger. While this was intended to give the pieces a better fit, it actually puts more pressure on the parts and causes them to pop off even more easily. The chest piece, however, fits fairly well on either version, but is still easy to remove.

: Payload had a tendency to [[Shelfwarmer|sit on shelves]] for weeks, with some examples of end displays filled completely with Payload figures. This has led to some fans affectionately renaming him ''Pegload''.

: The mold was later retooled into ''[[Movie Advanced Series]]'' [[Dispensor]].

Christiansen says this was [http://badflipblog.blogspot.com/2009/10/tf1-armored-truck-drone.html not intentional].
*A variant of Payload, crudely textured with a shoddily compressed [[Pepsi]] livery, can be found in the internal files for [[Transformers The Game (console)|Transformers The Game]]. It was most likely cut early in development.
* Payload's altmode as an Decepticon anti-aircraft tank in ''The Veiled Threat'' gives him a form similar to that of the unreleased [[Gunbarrel (Movie)|Gunbarrel]] toy, who appeared unnamed in the Transformers: Alliance comic at the same time. Whether they were meant to be the same character is unknown.
* 2010 Payload's packaging bio describes him as an armored transport vehicle and has the same [[Tech Spec]] numbers as 2007 Payload. Sneaky Hasbro, making them the [[character|same guy]]!
* Hasbro has stated in the [[Hasbro Q&A/March 2010: Answers|March 2010 Q&A session]] that 2010 Payload is one of the Constructicon Warriors appearing in the [[Revenge of the Fallen (video games)|''Revenge of the Fallen'' video games]]. Guess he moonlights as an armored truck.
*The stock photography for both EZ Collection [[Skipjack (ROTF)|Skipjack]] and Payload depict them in shades that hew closer to orange than the yellow they came out in. Whether this was an artifact of the photographic process or an intentional plastic color-change is uncertain.
*Though [[Payload (ROTF)|Payload]] has a similar [[alternate mode]] to another one of Devastator's components, [[Long Haul (ROTF)|Long Haul]], he's a different, longer model of dump truck.
*Interestingly, the dump truck that transforms into Supreme Devastator's right leg is supposed to represent Long Haul and is thus green. However, the shape and details of the vehicle look much more like Payload than Long Haul's alt mode. This all comes full circle with ''[[Studio Series]]'' [[Long Haul (ROTF)#Generations|Long Haul]], which uses Payload's truck model as its vehicle mode. This may have been done for scale reasons, to make Long Haul's vehicle mode size fit better with other ''Studio Series'' Constructicons.
*When [[Hasbro_Q%26A/December_2009:_Answers|asked]], Hasbro neither had a name for this poor sod nor recognised his existence as Devastator's leg (saying there were only seven Constructicons in Devastator).
