The Construction Patrol are hard as nails. Nails made of titanium steel, that is. Despite their tiny size, these burly bots are ultra-strong and extremely durable, and always ready to work until the job is done. Raising an advanced battlefield front-line fortification from common junk is no problem, so with the right materials, there's no limits to the wonders these tiny titans can create. Naturally, their strength makes them no slouches in combat, able to take down Transformers many times their size.

The team consists of:

• Takedown (leader)
• Crumble
• Groundpounder
• Neutro

Fiction

2005 IDW continuity

The Construction Patrol appeared to be among the residents of Gorlam Prime who were cybernetically re-engineered by Jhiaxus to resemble Cybertronians. Working on behalf of Jhiaxus and the Dead Universe Transformers, the Construction Patrol attacked Nightbeat and Hardhead when they arrived on Gorlam Prime seeking answers to the Expansion. Spotlight: Hardhead

Takedown and Groundpounder, who are certainly in no way related to the Gorlamite cyborgs mentioned above, appeared in New Iacon after the war ended. They worked with Scoop as part of the Construction Patrol fixing up the city after the Decepticon uprising. Three Monologues

Regeneration One

The Construction Patrol and Erector, under the command of Quickmix, were tasked with building the Nebulan end of the space bridge network in the Clar Macro-jungle. This probably didn't end well, thanks to the Dark Matrix creature tainting Fortress Maximus and taking control of the space bridge network. The War to End All Wars, Part 1
