| '''Scavenger''' loves to smash stuff, and he's quite good at it. Falling under under the command of [[Tankor (BM)|Tankor]], Scavenger and his identical demolition drones exist for a single purpose—destruction. It doesn't matter if it's a building or a [[Maximal]], they'll roll right through it, relying on their heavy armor to protect them. Anything they can't knock over, run over, tear apart with their clawed hands, or crush in their crane-mode jaws, they attack using electric currents produced from the [[galva-conductor]]s on their backs. Or blast with missiles. Or perforate with cannon fire. Or all three. At once. In the FACE.

| Megatron sent Scavenger drones and [[Mirage (BM)|Mirage]] drones to fight alongside the generals [[Spy Streak]], [[Blastcharge (BM)|Blastcharge]], and [[Quake (G1)|Quake]] and their respective drones to guard an old [[Autobot]] shuttle from the [[Wrecker]]s, who wished to use it to get offworld. It was quite the welcoming party.
| |
| | |
| A number of the Scavenger drones were destroyed by the Wreckers in the ensuing close-quarters melee. Those that weren't wrecked by the Wreckers ended up caught in the blast that consumed the facility as the shuttle launched. {{storylink|Departure}}

| ===The Razor's Edge===
| |
| In the days leading up to the [[Pax Cybertronia]], [[Flamewar]] (disguised as the original [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]]) manufactured a large number of Scavenger drones on the conquered planet of [[Nibari]]. She attempted to use them against three Maximals and a local insurgents' army. However, the insurgents had rewired the drones to obey their commands, and they quickly overpowered and defeated Flamewar.
| |
| | |
| After the Maximals' departure, the native Nibarians planned to convert the drones to tools of construction and repair. {{storylink|The Razor's Edge}}

| *'''Scavenger''' (Basic, 2000)
| |
| | |
| : Part of the first wave of ''[[Beast Machines (toyline)|Beast Machines]]'' Basics, Scavenger transforms into a Cybertronic treaded ''de''struction vehicle. A plunger mechanism on the back of the "shovel" opens and closes the vehicle's crusher jaw. Its [[spark crystal]] is located in the "control tower" behind a flip-down panel.
| |
| | |
| : This mold was also used to make ''[[Robots in Disguise (franchise)|Robots in Disguise]]'' [[Scavenger (RID)|Scavenger]].

| [[Image:ScavengerBMconcept.jpg|right|300px|thumb]]
| |
| * Although the early ''Beast Machines'' concept art for Scavenger is very similar to the final product, his original color layout implies a lot more paint applications in his crane-neck area.
