The pub crawl was on!

The Constructicons (briefly known as Constructobots) are a duo of construction vehicles given life by a pair of AllSpark fragments. Mixmaster (or "Mix") and Scrapper are a couple of crass, low brow bots, with only three interests; sexy cars, high grade oil and construction work. It is the latter that gives them value in Megatron's optics, as they happen to be quite talented.

While not exactly evil, the Constructicons lack a moral compass, viewing theft with indifference and thinking of humans as pets. They are more than willing to sell their services to whomever supplies 'em with the best oil, and even if their friendship with Bulkhead could make up for the Autobot dipstick's low grade stuff it's likely they'd feel more at home with the Decepticons anyway.

Fiction

Animated cartoon

The Constructobots came to life when two stray AllSpark shards were embedded in a cement mixer and an excavator at a human construction site. After some initial confusion about no longer being inanimate vehicles, the pair named themselves and quickly figured out how to transform. After saving Bulkhead from a construction accident, they befriended him and were invited to the Autobot headquarters. However, their behavior left much to be desired, and the two found themselves kicked out by Optimus Prime after nearly decapitating Sari Sumdac.

Eventually, the pair stumbled upon Blitzwing and Lugnut stealing construction supplies, and saved the former from being crushed by his own loot. Impressed by their strength, Blitzwing decided to let them do the heavy lifting, then take them offline once they reached the Decepticon base. However, once Megatron found out about their existence, he had other plans: to let the Constructobots build his space bridge for him, something the two had no problem with.

While out stealing supplies for the bridge, Mixmaster and Scrapper met with Bulkhead again, and told him about their new job. Outraged, Bulkhead explained in detail the evil and deceitful nature of the Decepticons, and the Constructobots confronted Megatron about it. However, the Decepticon leader simply used that very deceitful nature, along with his "private blend" of oil, to convince the two that he was a good guy, fighting back against Autobot oppression. Not knowing who to believe, Mixmaster and Scrapper simply decided to join the ones with the better oil.

Taking on the title of "Constructicons", the pair went to steal the Autobots' AllSpark fragments for Megatron, but ended up being tricked by Bulkhead into drinking some contaminated oil. This scrambled their memory chips, and the Constructicons forgot all about Autobots, Decepticons and space bridges. Rise of the Constructicons

Going back to their usual pastime, the Constructicons started stealing and drinking oil around Detroit until the Autobots decided to put a stop to it. However, while they were out looking for the pair, Mixmaster and Scrapper found their way to Autobot headquarters. While the two were just looking for something to drink, the left-behind Sari took it as a Decepticon attack and managed to attack and repel them. Shortly afterwards, the Constructicons encountered Blitzwing, who had been ordered by Megatron to retrieve them. After being offered some oil, Mixmaster recognized it as the "really good stuff" he had vague memories of, and the pair followed Blitzwing back to the Decepticons. Sari, No One's Home

Mixmaster and Scrapper soon completed work on Megatron's space bridge, and were officially branded as Decepticons. Once Bulkhead was kidnapped by Megatron to put a finishing touch on the space bridge, he called out to the Constructicons for help, but they didn't recognize him. When the Autobots arrived to save Bulkhead and wreck Megatron's plans, Scrapper and Mixmaster managed to incapacitate all four of them. A Bridge Too Close, Part I

Within seconds Starscream and his clones attacked, and Mixmaster joined in on the battle whilst Scrapper went off to fetch Lugnut and Blitzwing. The battle was eventually won, and the Constructicons cheered on Megatron's speech about conquering Cybertron, despite having no idea what a "Cybertron" was supposed to be. When the Decepticon base came crumbling down due to the malfunctioning space bridge, the Constructicons desperately tried to save the oil inside it. They were last seen trying to cover it as the cavern collapsed. A Bridge Too Close, Part II
