:''Scrapper is a [[Decepticon]] [[Constructicon (G1)|Constructicon]] from the [[Generation 1 continuity family]].''

[[Image:Scrapper1.jpg|right|275px|thumb|"By my own standards, Metroplex is the awesomest thing ever."]]
'''Scrapper''' is the engineer of the [[Constructicon (G1)|Constructicons]]. While the other Constructicons put their masterpieces together, Scrapper is the one who designs everything for them. Though his designs are among the best in Transformer history, Scrapper is a modest Decepticon who quickly shrugs off the praise he receives. In that respect he is the polar-opposite of his frequent second in command, [[Hook (G1)|Hook]], who is an egomaniacal glory-hound.

Though modest, Scrapper is still a total nutcase. One of his favorite artistic liberties with his designs involves taking living [[Autobot]]s and using them as raw materials. This vicious act is something [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] finds admirable, as he considers Scrapper the most valuable of the Constructicons.

[[Image:Scrapperg1cartoon.jpg|left|150px|thumb|My continuity makes me dizzy.]]
Scrapper, who was evil, helped build [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Megatron]]. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 4}} Later, Megatron used the [[Robo-Smasher]] to make Scrapper, who was good, evil. {{storylink|The Secret of Omega Supreme}} Finally, Megatron built Scrapper. {{storylink|Heavy Metal War}} It all makes sense.

Regardless of all that, Scrapper and the Constructicons were active among the Decepticon forces on [[Earth]] in 1984. They attempted to infiltrate [[Ark (G1)|Autobot headquarters]] to destroy the Autobot computer [[Teletraan I (G1)|Teletraan I]], but failed and ended up having a lava bath. {{storylink|Heavy Metal War}} The Constructicons were later vital in transforming [[New York City]] into the Decepticon city of "New Cybertron", and in the process Scrapper got to recycle [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]] into a [[Alligatorcon|robotic alligator]]. {{storylink|City of Steel}}

The Constructicons later built a drill leading into Earth's core, in order for Megatron to tap its energy. While working on it, Scrapper had a [[dominator disc]] snuck onto him by [[Sunstreaker (G1)|Sunstreaker]], allowing the Autobots to control the Constructicons when merged into [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]]. The combiner fought his fellow Decepticons for a while before the discs were overloaded and they returned to normal. Scrapper then provided a peptalk for his team before they saved the Earth from their own drill, which had gone out of control. {{storylink|The Core}}

[[Image:MasterBuilders_Scrapper_Grapple_plans.jpg|right|200px|thumb|"Truly you are a master of structural engineering, Grapple. I could never hold up a map with a stump for a hand."]]
At one point, Scrapper convinced [[Hoist (G1)|Hoist]] and [[Grapple]] that the Constructicons wanted to aid the two Autobots in a construction project to build a [[Solar Power Tower]]. Scrapper claimed to have admired Grapple's work back on Cybertron. When Megatron found out, the Constructicons had to explain (at gunpoint) that they were still loyal to him, and once the tower was completed they would turn it over to him. The plan initially succeeded, but the tower was soon destroyed in a battle between the Autobots and Devastator. {{storylink|The Master Builders}}

Later, when the other Decepticons began to suffer from [[Cybertonium]] degeneration,  Scrapper and the Constructicon worked fine. They took delivery of a shipment of the mineral via the [[space bridge]], and failed to stop [[Spike Witwicky (G1)|Spike Witwicky]] and [[Carly]] from getting by them and traveling to Cybertron. {{storylink|Desertion of the Dinobots, Part 1}} When faced with the mighty [[Omega Supreme (G1)|Omega Supreme]], long out for revenge against the Constructicons, Scrapper repeatedly taunted and insulted him. In return, Omega Supreme beat the slag out of Devastator, but couldn't finish the job due to a surprise visit from an [[asteroid bird alien]]. {{storylink|The Secret of Omega Supreme}}

[[Image:MakeTracks Scrapper sword.jpg|left|200px|thumb|"I dub thee Drone #24601. Now rise up and go forth in Megatron's name!"]]
When the Constructicons were tasked with building a [[drone]] army out of human cars, Scrapper was seen slicing the machines apart with a sword. {{storylink|Make Tracks}} Scrapper's nasty side was later shown when he worked under [[Blitzwing (G1)|Blitzwing]], who had temporarily overthrown Megatron. Scrapper used the [[Skids (G1)|remains]] [[Prowl (G1)|of]] [[Bluestreak (G1)|damaged]] [[Tracks (G1)|Autobots]] to make a throne for himself... nasty! {{storylink|Triple Takeover}}

Scrapper and Constructicons were part of the Decepticon forces during the [[Battle of Autobot City|great battle]] of [[Autobot City]] in 2005, and Devastator was integral in breaching the city's defenses. However, Megatron was defeated and the Decepticons were forced to retreat onboard [[Astrotrain (G1)|Astrotrain]]. Megatron was subsequently thrown out into space, and Scrapper wasted no time in nominating his Constructicons to be the next [[Decepticon leader|Decepticon leaders]]. [[Soundwave (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Soundwave]] and his [[Decepticon Mini-Cassette|cassettes]] disagreed, and within minutes every Decepticon in the ship was fighting the rest for that precious leadership position. [[Starscream (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Starscream]] won out in the end, and the Constructicons provided music during his coronation (Scrapper doesn't let minor things such as [[mouthplate]]s get in his way of playing the trumpet). {{storylink|The Transformers: The Movie}}

In the remainder of 2005 and throughout the following year, Scrapper and the Constructicons maintained a smaller, but still present, role in the Decepticon army, lending their talents to the Decepticon/[[Quintesson]] alliance by constructing [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]] out of a populated human city in only one night. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 4}} Later, they built a planetary engine on an asteroid and battled on the planet [[Eurythma]], {{storylink|Carnage in C-Minor}} aided in the overthrow of [[Paradron]] {{storylink|Fight or Flee}} and took part in an attack on [[Japan]]. {{storylink|The Burden Hardest to Bear}} Although brief, the Constructicons even played a part in the battle for the [[Plasma Energy Chamber]] in 2007, seen firing on Autobots with the [[Terrorcon (G1)|Terrorcons]]. {{storylink|The Rebirth, Part 3}}

====Japanese cartoon continuity====
=====''Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers'' comic=====
Scrapper and the other Constructicons started constructing Trypticon on a small island paradise, destroying the flora and fauna in the process. When the Autobots found out, they sent [[Superion (G1)|Superion]] to put a stop to them, and the Constructicons responded by forming Devastator. Unfortunately, the newly activated Trypticon, who wanted the challenge of fighting Superion by himself, grabbed Devastator and threw him into the ocean.  After all was said and done, the Autobots put Scrapper and the rest of the Constructicons to work, restoring the island to its former natural splendor. {{storylink|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers issue 6|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers #6}}

=====Scramble City: Mobilization=====

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

=====''The Headmasters'' cartoon=====
Scrapper and the Constructicons were stationed on Earth in 2011, under the command of [[Sixshot]]. They attempted to prevent [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Ultra Magnus]] from sending reinforcements to Cybertron to help the Autobots fend off [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]]'s siege on [[Vector Sigma]]. Scrapper and his squad were ganging up on the [[Trainbot]]s until [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]] arrived and shooed them off with his superior firepower. Having failed to stop the Autobot reinforcements from departing, the Constructicons followed them to Cybertron. As Devastator, they tried to shoot [[Superion (G1)|Superion]] in the back, but Optimus Prime foiled their aim, making them hit [[Abominus (G1)|Abominus]] instead. {{storylink|Four Warriors Come out of the Sky}} Devastator was involved in a combiner shootout on Cybertron until the [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Battleship Maximus]] arrived and annihilated the Decepticon combiners. {{storylink|The Mystery of Planet Master}}

Scrapper and the Constructicons were guarding the Decepticon [[space bridge]] on Earth, but failed miserably when [[Blaster (G1)|Twincast]] single-handedly fought them off and stole a ride on the bridge. {{storylink|The Great Cassette Operation}}

=====''Zone'' OVA, manga and story pages=====
Seeking to create a [[Decepticon Zone]] to counter the [[Micro|Autobot Zone]], [[Emperor of Destruction|Decepticon Emperor]] [[Violen Jiger]] gathered together the Nine Great Demon Generals, upgrading them with powerful new armor and weaponry, then sent them forth to conquer planets. Scrapper was among those summoned, but only in the form of Devastator. {{storylink|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Zone (story page)|Zone Part 1}} {{storylink|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Zone (manga)|Zone}} {{storylink|Enter the New Supreme Commander, Dai Atlas!}}

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

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

===Marvel Comics continuity===
====Generation 1====
{{noteukonly}}
[[Image:Constructiconsbornmarvel.jpg|right|200px|thumb|Scrapper is the green and purple one.]]
Early in the Transformers' war on [[Earth]], [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]] used the stolen power of the [[Matrix of Leadership|Creation Matrix]] to give life to the first of a new generation of Decepticon warriors, the [[Constructicon (G1)|Constructicons]]. Scrapper and the other Constructicons were immediately given a mission upon their coming online &mdash; construct a communications tower to transmit a message to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. A truckstop was raided for raw materials, which attracted the ire of trucker [[Bomber Bill]], who, with the aid of the [[Autobot]]s, managed to destroy the tower Scrapper and the other Constructicons had built. {{storylink|The Next Best Thing to Being There!}}
''Scrapper and the Constructicons, after troubleshooting their union as [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]], were sent by Shockwave to abduct [[Buster Witwicky (G1)|Buster Witwicky]]. Their attack was called off to regroup when [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]] discovered Buster held the rest of the Creation Matrix in his head.'' {{storylink|Devastation Derby!}}

[[Image:MarvelUS41_ScrapperScavenger.JPG|left|thumb|200px|"Constructicons—slump into vehicle mode!"]]
After [[Megatron (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Megatron]]'s retaking of Decepticon command, Scrapper and the other Constructicons were charged with building perimeter defences around [[Wyoming base|their headquarters]] located at the base of a coal strip mine in eastern [[Wyoming]]. Devastator's services were again required when the Autobots staged a surprise attack, but they retreated once they had what they needed. {{storylink|Command Performances!}}

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

{{note|Scrapper and the other Constructicons seem to just disappear from the ranks of the Decepticons after this point.}}

=====Earthforce=====
{{earthforcefiction}}
Scrapper worked for Megatron during the Earthforce saga, as did most of his fellow Constructicons. He was first seen telling stories to [[Mixmaster (G1)|Mixmaster]] in the [[Decepticon Louisiana bayou base|Decepticon base's hallway]] while [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]] was mentally searching for traitors... and blackmail information. {{storylink|Secrets (G1)|Secrets}} He later joined the united Decepticons in an ill-fated strike against Autobot Earthbase. {{storylink|Divide and Conquer!}}

=====Marvel UK future timelines=====
[[Image:SpacePiratesSoundwaveLeader.JPG|right|250px|thumb]]
In 2008, Scrapper was briefly seen with a Decepticon strike team on-board [[Astrotrain (G1)|Astrotrain]], just before they were attacked from out of nowhere by the [[Quintesson]]s. He didn't say much, but that's probably because he was still pissed that, in the future, the Constructicons think Mixmaster is a better leader than him. He thinks that's crazy. Get it? Get it? {{storylink|Space Pirates!}}

{{note|The following two sections both split off from the end of the Generation 1 comic, but in different, irreconcileable directions.}}

====''Generation 2''====
Scrapper and [[Bonecrusher (G1)|Bonecrusher]] helped construct a thermal bomb perimeter around the Autobot/Decepticon encampment which was entrenched on Earth awaiting arrival of the [[Swarm (G2)|Swarm]]. {{storylink|A Rage in Heaven!}}

====''Classics''====
{{noteclassics}}
[[Image:Scrappercrossingover.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Finally, Scrapper gets some "facetime."]]
In the fifteen years since the battle on [[Klo]], [[Megatron (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Megatron]] was resurrected and had reclaimed portions of his previous army, including Scrapper and the other Constructicons. When the Decepticon [[Landquake (Timelines)|Landquake]] mysteriously appeared and claimed to be from another timeline, his body was scrutinized by [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]] and Scrapper.  Scrapper's research led him to believe Landquake was telling the truth, noting that study of [[Unicron]] pointed towards the existence of parallel worlds and that Landquake's makeup was unlike any Transformer construction he was familiar with.  

Furthermore, he announced to Megatron that an anomaly in [[South America]] radiated identical wavelengths as Landquake, something that might merit further inspection. Scrapper's only mistake was suggesting the hypothetical help of Shockwave would be appreciated, resulting in violence upon his person from Megatron. Regardless, Megatron agreed that the anomaly demanded his attention, and while Scrapper was instructed to pry deeper into Landquake's energon readings, the Decepticon commander accompanied the rest of his troops to South America. {{storylink|Crossing Over, Part 2}}

Scrapper and the other Decepticons arrived at their destination, where they met the Autobots in battle. Megatron ordered him and the Constructicons to merge into Devastator, which they did. [[Grimlock (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Grimlock]] attempted to take on Devastator singlehandedly, and did meet with some success when Devastator stepped into a sinkhole and fell apart into his component Constructicons. {{storylink|Crossing Over: Part 3}} Now separated, the Constructicons were being beaten ruthlessly by the Dinobot Commander, and so Scrapper ordered the Constructicons to flee and regroup. Grimlock "helped" them along by picking up Scrapper and throwing him into the others. {{storylink|Crossing Over: Part 5}} Eventually, as a group, the Constructicons were able to subdue Grimlock, but by then the battle was over and the Decepticons had no choice but to retreat. {{storylink|Crossing Over: Part 6}}

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

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

===The Official Transformers: Generation 2 Annual===

At Megatron's command, Scrapper constructed a pair of giant rocket engines on Clarke Atoll, digging deep into the planet Earth. These engines used electromagnetic coils to conduct the plasma in Earth's central core as a power source. The Decepticons planned to turn the Earth itself into a mobile base of operations, destroying human civilization as they propelled the planet through space. The Autobot flyers [[Jetfire (G1)|Jetfire]] and [[Deftwing]] overloaded the engines' plasma coils, however, destroying Scrapper's magnificent creation. {{storylink|Moving Day Planet Earth}}

===Dreamwave ''Generation 1'' comics===
{{notekeepers}}
[[Image:Scrappertww.jpg|left|200px|thumb|Construction vehicles are green on Cybertron, too.]]
Nine million years ago, a young [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] staged a Decepticon uprising and sieged [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]] to smokescreen his true designs. Long-buried [[planetary engine]]s from [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]'s similarly buried past were to be refitted by Scrapper and his Constructicons in order to convert their planet into a galaxy-faring war world. {{storylink|The War Within issue 2|The War Within #2}} While Megatron had gone briefly missing during battle, Scrapper was ordered by [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]] to accelerate the process, despite the Constructicon's misgivings. Their hasty actions could tear the planet apart! In the end, Starscream gave Scrapper a choice: mechaform Iacon, or get mechaformed by [[Motormaster (G1)|Motormaster]]. {{storylink|The War Within issue 5|The War Within #5}} As Scrapper predicted, the region went under a major upheavel, and he and the other Transformers in the area were forced to abandon their work as everything exploded. {{storylink|The War Within issue 6|The War Within #6}}

The war entered a [[Dark Ages|dark age]] when both [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] and Megatron were presumed lost forever in a space bridge accident. During this time, the technology of combining (and thus Devastator himself) was invented, but Devastator and other super robots were declared non-allied by the [[Crisis Intervention Accord]] to stave off an arms race that would escalate the war to frightening levels. Despite this, [[Ratbat (G1)|Ratbat]]'s [[Ultracon]]s secretly enlisted Scrapper and his Constructicons. {{storylink|Escalation}} Devastator was unleashed upon the [[Wrecker]]s in the [[Tagan Heights]], but was defeated by the [[Protectobot (G1)|Protectobots]]. {{storylink|Devastation}}

Millions of years later, after a subset of the Transformers war awoke on [[Earth]] in 1984, the Constructicons somehow found their way from Cybertron to Earth. They were defeated along with the other Decepticons in 1999, and subsequently lost for years following a [[Ark II|shuttle explosion]]. When they awoke in 2002, the Constructicons combined into Devastator and rampaged through [[San Francisco]]. {{storylink|Prime Directive issue 5|Prime Directive #5}} Optimus Prime shot them in the head. {{storylink|Prime Directive issue 6|Prime Directive #6}}

''After their defeat in California, the Constructicons were secretly rebuilt by Starscream, and Devastator became his personal enforcer after Megatron was kidnapped by the alien [[Keeper (species)|Keepers]], leaving Decepticon leadership up for grabs. Scrapper and many of the other Decepticons joined Starscream on a venture to assume control over the human city of [[Las Vegas]]. Their occupation was interrupted by a renegade human army and a trio of Autobots: [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]], [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]] and [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]]. Scrapper prepared for their invasion by booby-trapping a Michelin Tire Store. When that turned out to be a dumb idea, he decided to just shoot at the Autobots instead. Scrapper was taken out fast during the fight, however, when Grimlock knocked him into a pool of molten slag created by Mixmaster's chemical powers. The acidic heat knocked him off-line, and Scrapper had to be dragged to safety by his partners.'' {{storylink|Hardwired}}

''Megatron eventually returned to Earth, but Scrapper and the Constructicons owed Starscream for reconstructing them, and so remained loyal to him when the Decepticons split into two factions. Of course, this only meant they were among the first to be captured by the Keepers when those aliens took over [[Las Vegas]] and turned Starscream into their puppet. Trapped behind an impenetrable force dome, Scrapper and the Constructicons attempted to batter their way out as Devastator using sheer brute force, until [[Skywarp (G1)|Skywarp]] offered a better idea. Reconverting into their separate modes, the Constructicons dug a tunnel out beneath the force field, enabling Starscream's faction to join the final battle against the Keepers. Acting as Devastator, they were too far away from Optimus Prime and his [[Matrix of Leadership|Matrix]]-induced force shield when the American nuclear assault was dropped on the Keepers, and were blasted into pieces.'' {{storylink|Annihilation}}

''The nuclear blast left Devastator fused into his singular robot mode, leaving him unable to split back into Scrapper and his other components. Eventually, Devastator fell into the Void along with [[Omega Sentinel (G1)|Omega Sentinel]] in the final conflict with the Keepers, and was left in stasis lock, drifting in the vacuum of space, after the Sentinel destroyed the Keepers' power source and shattered the Void back into real space-time. The starship ''[[Bounty]]'', on a secret space mission from Earth, came across Devastator's remains and planned to tow him back to Earth.'' {{storylink|Fusion (novel)|Fusion}}

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

[[Image:Scrapperdevilsdue.jpg|right|100px|thumb|Scrapper calls Mindbender on a [http://www.nhl.com/ice/page.htm?id=26329 hockey foul].]]
The ruthless terrorist organization known as [[Cobra]] dug dozens of Autobots and Decepticons out of their four-million-year resting place and began rebuilding them into a Cobra-controlled army. However, with [[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack]] and [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]]'s help, the mind-controlled Transformers were awakened, and the very cheesed-off Constructicons, including Scrapper, descended upon their previous captor, [[Doctor Mindbender]]. {{storylink|G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers issue 3|G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers #3}} Scrapper and Hook decided to kill Mindbender by dropping him into Mixmaster's mixing drum, but they were interrupted by Soundwave, who needed the doctor to work the [[SPS Satellite]] for him. {{storylink|G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers issue 4|G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers #4}}

Their surroundings were soon under attack by Autobot and [[G.I. Joe (team)|G.I. Joe]] forces, requiring Scrapper and the other Constructicons to combine into Devastator. Ultimately, Devastator was brutally defeated after the Decepticon fatally wounded [[Hound (G1)|Hound]], sending the fallen Autobot's friends into a berserker rage. {{storylink|G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers issue 5|G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers #5}}

===IDW Generation 1 continuity===
Scrapper and his team of Constructicons were apparently put out of work due to the labor shortages masterminded by [[Ratbat (G1)|Ratbat]]. Rather than sitting idly by and collecting roboto-unemployment checks, the Constructicons became involved with the [[Gladiatorial combat|illegal fighting ring]] operating in [[Kaon]], dedicating their talents to quickly creating a combat arena at each new site of the tournaments, modifying scrap on hand for their needs. Scrapper witnessed firsthand the level of brutality [[Megatron (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Megatron]] could reach outside the ring when he executed the Autobot surveyors, [[Fastback (G1)|Fastback]] and [[Bumper (G1)|Bumper]]. {{storylink|Megatron Origin issue 2|Megatron Origin #2}} The Constructicons also worked on the fighters themselves, repairing them after fights and installing new weapons on them. {{storylink|Megatron Origin issue 3|Megatron Origin #3}}

As the war began in earnest between the Autobots and Decepticons, Scrapper and the Constructicons remained loyal followers of Megatron. Four million years ago, Scrapper was part of a convoy along with [[Ramjet (G1)|Ramjet]], [[Octane]] and his fellow Constructicons bringing energon to the war effort. They were intercepted and captured by [[Optimus Prime (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Optimus Prime]] and [[Ironhide (G1)|Ironhide]]. {{storylink|The Iron Age}}
The Constructions battled against the Autobots when they made an assault on the [[Citadel]]. {{storylink|Broadcast}}
As the war began in earnest between the Autobots and Decepticons, the Constructicons remained loyal followers of Megatron. At one point they were stationed on [[Varas Centralus]] alongside [[Swindle (G1)|Swindle]] and [[Sky-Byte (G2)|Sky-Byte]], where they committed some atrocity that was enough to cause Sky-Byte to abandon the Decepticon cause. {{storylink|A Better Tomorrow}}

[[Image:Scrapperburns.jpg|left|200px|thumb|But seriously, folks—*Boom!*]]

Millions of years later, the Constructicons arrived on Earth. Having obtained combiner technology, Scrapper and his team merged into Devastator and made short work of the Autobot unit on the planet. {{storylink|All Hail Megatron issue 7|All Hail Megatron #7}} With those goody-two-shoes out of the way, the Decepticons moved on to conquer the planet, starting with [[New York City]]. As the Constructicons transformed and revealed themselves in the middle of the city, Scrapper told the humans that they were aliens from another world, who had come to spread a message of peace and unity. A confused Hook looked at Scrapper, then they shared a laugh and proceeded to kill things. {{storylink|All Hail Megatron issue 1|All Hail Megatron #1}} After a good while of random destruction, Scrapper ordered his team to combine so they could take out the tunnels leading in and out of New York. {{storylink|All Hail Megatron issue 2|All Hail Megatron #2}} When the city had fallen, Scrapper listened to Megatron's victory speech. {{storylink|All Hail Megatron issue 4|All Hail Megatron #4}}

The Constructicons later joined [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]]'s rebellion against Megatron, as the [[Seeker (body-type)|Seeker]]'s logical arguments had apparently appealed to them. Scrapper mocked Megatron with a sarcastic "All hail Megatron" before forming Devastator and attacking him. {{storylink|All Hail Megatron issue 10|All Hail Megatron #10}} Before Devastator could kill his former leader, however, he found himself under attack by human jets. He managed to get rid of those, only to be attacked by [[Omega Supreme (G1)|Omega Supreme]] instead. {{storylink|All Hail Megatron issue 11|All Hail Megatron #11}} The battle ended when Omega blasted Devastator straight through the torso, defeating the Constructicons. {{storylink|All Hail Megatron issue 12|All Hail Megatron #12}}

[[Image:IDWongoing2_Scrapper_Tankor.jpg|thumb|right|200px|D-I-I-I-I-I-E MAXIMA— I mean, AUTOBOTS!!]]
In the two years that followed, Scrapper was separated from his fellow Constructicons. He joined up with a rag-tag group of Decepticons left behind on Earth, and helped rescue [[Thundercracker (G1)|Thundercracker]] from the ruins of New York. Scrapper was seemingly hoping that the elite Seeker would lead their little group, but Thundercracker was not interested, and instead leadership fell to [[Swindle (G1)|Swindle]]. {{storylink|Things Fall Apart, Part 3: "Seasons in Flight"|Seasons in Flight}} Seeking revenge on Omega Supreme for the Constructicons' earlier defeat, Scrapper and Swindle led their group into battle with Hot Rod and the Autobots who had gathered around the defense base. After Scrapper was briefly strangled by an invisible [[Mirage (G1)|Mirage]], the battle ended on an oddly peaceful note when Swindle suggested that the Autobots and Decepticons join forces to get off Earth together. {{storylink|Things Fall Apart, Part 1: "New Arrivals, Old Encounters"|New Arrivals, Old Encounters}}

Together with the newly liberated Hook and Mixmaster, Scrapper began building a starship for the mixed Cybertronians to use, but unfortunately, Hot Rod would not allow them to free any more Constructicons. When [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]] turned up to investigate [[Ironhide (G1)|Ironhide]]'s death and subsequently fired upon Swindle, Scrapper transformed in response to defend his his group leader. {{storylink|Things Fall Apart, Part 3: "Seasons in Flight"|Seasons in Flight}}

As the Decepticons ultimately turned against their Autobot "friends", Scrapper gleefully tried to crush [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]] with his bare hands until Thundercracker blasted the Constructicon for a loop. After the new gestalt [[Menasor (G1)|Menasor]] was defeated, Swindle escaped from Autobot and Skywatch custody along with some Constructicons, including Scrapper. {{storylink|Things Fall Apart, Part 5: "Earthworks"|Earthworks}}

Scrapper hid in a construction site, but [[Spike Witwicky (G1)|Spike Witwicky]] knew about his hiding place.  In reaction to Devastator killing [[Tim Simmons|a friend of his]] when he destroyed the New York tunnel, Spike tracked Scrapper down, blinded him with acid and trapped him beneath some steel beams. Scrapper tried to surrender, but Spike explained that he wasn't there to take him in, but rather to prove that a single human could defeat a Transformer and to put a stop to the threat of Devastator forever. He then used the helpless Scrapper's gun to blow his head off. {{storylink|Scrapper (issue)|Scrapper}}

When the Decepticons captured by Skywatch were broken out by the Decepticons who left Earth, Blitzwing was seen carrying Scrapper's body away. {{storylink|Revenge of the Decepticons Part 1: The Demolished Man|The Demolished Man}} They subsequently scanned his mind and viewed his final memories in life. In a confrontation with Optimus Prime, Megatron mentioned Scrapper's fate and used Witwicky's execution of a surrendered combatant (and the cover-up that followed) as a reason why no humans could be trusted, not even Prime's closest comrades. After the battle, Optimus ordered [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]] to investigate Scrapper's murder, apparently seeking truth and justice. {{storylink|Revenge of the Decepticons Part 5: Enemy Mine|Enemy Mine}}

The other Decepticons brought Scrapper's corpse with them when Megatron summoned them to Cybertron, where the other Constructicons still proved capable of combining with it (sorry Spike). However, Devastator was left with a paralyzed right leg, which led to his defeat in a battle with the Autobots. {{storylink|Chaos Part Three: Kings}}

* '''Scrapper''' (Constructicon, 1985/1986)
**''Team ID number:'' '''3'''
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''32'''
**''Accessories:'' [[Laser pistol]], Super Wing

:Scrapper was originally from [[TakaraTomy|Takara]]'s[[ Pre-Transformer]]s ''[[Diaclone]]'' toyline, as Construction Vehicle Robot No. 3 Shovel-dozer. Scrapper transforms into a bright green wheeled payloader. He can form the '''Attack Payloader''' mode by attaching the "Super Wing" (Devastator's chest piece) onto the rear of his vehicle mode. 

:Scrapper can combine with the other Constructicons to form [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]], forming the gestalt's right leg.

:On the European continent, Scrapper was initially released individually alongside the other Constructicons by Hasbro's subsidiary [[Milton Bradley]] (MB) in 1985.<ref name="mbredtr">[http://www.tf-1.com/articles/eurous/mb_template.html "Milton Bradley and the red TF Tracks"] at TF-1.com.</ref><ref name="mbcollection">[http://20thcenturytoycollector.com/transformers/mb-transformers-collection/ "MB Transformers Collection"] at 20th Century Toy Collector.</ref> In 1986, Scrapper and the other Constructicons were re-released in Europe, albeit this time in "Hasbro"-branded packaging (but manufactured by [[Joustra]]). The main difference with all other releases thus far was that the Constructicons' main color was now ''yellow'' instead of green.<ref name="frenchcon">[http://tfsource.com/blog/french-connection/ "French Connection"] at the TF Source blog.</ref><ref name="europestrange">[http://tfsource.com/blog/europes-strangest-attractions/ "Europe's Strangest Attractions"] at the TF Scource blog.</ref><ref name="frenchconst">[http://www.fredsworkshop.com/vjap6.html "French TFs: G1 Yellow Constructicons"] at Fred's Workshop.</ref> These are ''not'' to be confused with the later, ''non''-combining yellow European Constructicons, nor with the yellow ''Generation 2'' Constructicons (see below for both).

*'''Devastator''' (Giftset, 1985)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''37'''

:Scrapper was also available as part of the Devastator gift set that was available in several markets, including the United States and Japan. Rumors are that an MB-branded Devastator giftset was also released in continental Europe, but thus far no packaged sample has surfaced.<ref name="mbcollection"/>

* '''Constructicon''' (Constructicon, 1992)

: Another yellow European exclusive version of Scrapper, in colors very similar to the previous yellow European release, although the canopy was now cast in gray instead of yellow plastic. The main difference was that this version, just like the other Constructicons, came with no Devastator parts. This toy was also not officially named, as he came on a standardized card also used by the other Constructicons.

===Generation 2===
{{Picsneeded}}
* '''Scrapper''' (Constructicon, 1993)
**''Team ID number:'' '''3'''
**''Accessories:'' Laser pistol, Super Wing

:[[Redeco]]s of all six Constructicons were released individually as part of the first assortments of ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' products. The first—and seemingly more common—versions were yellow like the previous European release, but had some minor color, deco and tooling differences. In Scrapper's case, the purple plastic parts were slightly brighter, the canopy was yellow again (like on the ''first'' European yellow version), and—most importantly—like all the ''Generation 2'' Constructicons, Scrapper came with the extra parts necessary to form Devastator again.

:A later and seemingly less common run changed the yellow plastics to rich orange. It has been rumored that this release was only available in [[KB Toys]] stores, but not verified.

*'''Constructicon Devastator''' (Wal-Mart exclusive, 2007)
**''Accessories:'' Claw weapon thing, [[energon star]]

:"Decepticon Scrapper" is one of the five toys included in this [[Walmart]] [[exclusive]] giftset. He's a grey and black [[redeco]] of ''[[Transformers: Energon (toyline)|Energon]]'' [[Bonecrusher (Energon)|Bonecrusher]] and [[Sledge (Energon)|Sledge]], transforming into a wheeled front-end loader green and purple trim. He can also form a leg or arm to any ''Energon''-series "[[Powerlinx]] [[Combiner]]" super robot, though his nominal placement is as the left leg of Constructicon Devastator. He is equipped with two translucent purple accessories; a rake-like weapon and a "super energon" Decepticon-style [[energon star]].

: This sculpt was also used to make ''[[Transformers: Classics|Classics]]'' [[Bonecrusher (G1)|Bonecrusher]] from the same giftset.

===Encore===
*'''Devastator''' (reissue giftset, 2011)
**''ID number:'' '''20'''
**''Accessories:'' Laser pistol, Super Wing
:Scrapper was reissued in a giftset with his Constructicon teammates as part of [[TakaraTomy]]'s ''[[Transformers Encore|Encore]]'' line. Apparently cast from a newly created mold, given the presence of a Tomy copyright stamp rather than the original Hasbro/Takara one, Scrapper sports a few minor differences from the original figure, including squared off fist-holes, and solid knees where the original toy featured small holes.
*'''Devastator''' (reissue giftset, 2013)
**''ID number:'' '''20A'''
**''Accessories:'' Laser pistol, Super Wing
:Scrapper was ''again'' reissued in a giftset in 2013 as part of [[TakaraTomy]]'s ''[[Transformers Encore|Encore]]'' line, this time in a more 'anime accurate' color scheme. In addition to the mold changes of the 2011 version, Scrapper is also a slightly different color and features more cartoon-accurate paint applications on his face.

==Merchandise==
===Decoy===
{{Picsneeded}}
* '''Destron Hero Collection 22''' (Decoy multi-pack, 1985)

: In Japan, a purple rubber mini-figure of Scrapper was available in part of a [[Decoy|massive multi-pack of similar mini-figurines]]. The number etched into his back is the sum total of his [[Tech Spec]] ratings, as these figurines were used as game pieces for a variety of ''Transformers'' board games in which this number had some meaning to how the game was played or something. Scrapper has a weird-looking face.

*'''Scrapper''' (Decoy, 1987)
**''Decoy number'': '''47'''

: The [[Hasbro]] [[Decoy]] release of the Scrapper game piece is almost identical to the Japanese version, except the number on his back is a simple "checklist" number. Like all Decepticon Decoys, he was a randomly-chosen pack-in available with the carded [[Throttlebot]]s, [[Combaticon (G1)|Combaticons]], [[Stunticon (G1)|Stunticons]] and [[Terrorcon (G1)|Terrorcons]]. Early Throttlebots were packaged with red Decepticon decoys: these are much rarer than the purple ones.

==Notes==
*The [[The Transformers (cartoon)|Generation 1 cartoon]] [[production bible|series bible]] contains a description of Scrapper typed with the name "'''Gravedigger'''", then crossed out by hand and rewritten "Scrapper". This name would [[Gravedigger|actually appear in fiction]], though applied to [[Long Haul (G1)|a different Constructicon]]. "Payload" was another name considered for Scrapper at one point. {{fact}}
* As noted above, Scrapper's original toy has a third mode called "Attack Payloader", formed by sticking the purple "Super Wing" that forms Devastator's chestplate on top of Scrapper's payloader mode. As his [[The Transformers Universe|Marvel Universe]] entry notes, this allows him to fly at 60 mph over a range of 250 miles, although Scrapper has yet to use this ability in fiction.
* Despite being the (nominal) leader of the Constructicons, Scrapper forms one of Devastator's legs, rather than his head and/or body.  This contradicts the pattern established with most subsequent Transformers combining teams.
* It is unknown what relationship, if any, exists between Scrapper and the ''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 franchise)|Universe]]'' [[Micromaster]] Constructicon [[Buckethead]], who appears to have replaced Scrapper in that incarnation of the Constructicons.
* In recent years, toys sporting the name "Scrapper" require an additional "Decepticon" prefix for [[trademark]] reasons, hence making the official name "'''Decepticon Scrapper'''".
