Top row, L to R : Stonecruncher, Excavator, Grit
Bottom row, L to R : Sledge, Hammer, Knockout
The Micromaster Combiner Constructor Squad is a rare example of a group of Decepticons more enamored with creation than destruction. That doesn't mean they don't enjoy watching a beautiful structure being demolished; they just want even more to replace it with a terrifying edifice. Every Decepticon victory is an excuse to erect a monument at headquarters. Their enthusiasm to build can even transcend allegiance, if the bid is high enough. They're unbeatable as a team (under the command of Hammer), but, as individuals, their ambitions to out-design one another can get the best of them.[1]
The Constructor Squad consists of:
- Stonecruncher and Excavator the crane-truck
- Grit and Knockout the backhoe truck
- Sledge and Hammer the dump truck
