- Harvester units are Decepticon machines from the Marvel Comics portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
Decepticons on Cybertron under the command of Straxus have no use for any Transformers that are not Decepticons. No use, that is, except for use as raw materials. The Empties in Dead End are particular targets because of their inability to put up much of a defense. Harvester units prowl around looking for victims to throw into the smelting pool. They often work with hunter-seeker skyships who shoot hapless Transformers from the air, allowing the harvester units to follow and scoop up the bodies.
Fiction
Generation 1 Marvel Comic continuity
Harvester units went about their grisly duty with grim efficiency. The Smelting Pool!
Notes
- There appear to be at least two types of harvester units, a flying type and a ground-based unit.
- The ground-based version drives on tank treads. It has arms that scoop up bodies and puts them into at least one (possibly two) openning(s) on the front of it. When disgorging the bodies it does so from the rear of the unit.
- The ground-based unit seems to dump its harvested bodies from a specially designed ramp on the edge of the smelting pool.
- The flying version has jets in the back, and appears to dump bodies out of doors on the side of it.
- There is nothing in their appearance to clarify whether harvester units are just drones or actual Decepticons in their own right.
