Top row, L to R : Stonecruncher, Excavator, Grit
Bottom row, L to R : Sledge, Hammer, Knockout

Enthusiastic, loyal, skilled and hard-working, the Constructor Squad nevertheless seem doomed to live in the shadow of the more prominent Constructicons. The unfairness of the situation doesn't deter them, though; the team of builders and engineers know they'll get their due sooner or later, because they're the best.[1]

The Constuctor Squad consists of:

Generation 1

The Constructor Squad was sold as a carded pack of three construction vehicles, each of which splits into two robots. Any squad member can combine in vehicle mode with any other, or with any other Micromaster Combiner. They share a common color palette of orange, purple, light gray, and yellow. Hey, it's a lot less gaudy than purple and lime green!
Members from this team were used — without alteration — to make the Japanese Autobot Crane Cannon W Team and the Dump Shovel W Team. They were also redecoed to make the pilots for the various Combiner Transports — Gusher & Pipeline, Retro & Surge, and Cement-Head & Terror-Tread.
