"By my own standards, Metroplex is the awesomest thing ever."

Scrapper is the engineer of the Constructicons. While the other Constructicons put their masterpieces together, Scrapper is the one who designs everything for them. Though his designs are among the best in Transformer history, Scrapper is a modest Decepticon who quickly shrugs off the praise he receives. In that respect he is the polar-opposite of his frequent second in command, Hook, who is an egomaniacal glory-hound.

Though modest, Scrapper is still a total nutcase. One of his favorite artistic liberties with his designs involves taking living Autobots and using them as raw materials. This vicious act is something Megatron finds admirable, as he considers Scrapper the most valuable of the Constructicons.

My continuity makes me dizzy.

Scrapper helped build Megatron and took part in a battle with him later. Five Faces of Darkness, Part 4 However Scrapper was later seen on the Autobot's side and was good friends with Omega Supreme, however, Megatron used the Robo-Smasher to make Scrapper and his Construction companions evil and gave them ability to combine into Devastator. They destroyed Crystal City after deceiving Omega into leaving his post. However Omega tried to reprogram them back with no luck. Devastator formed and the two clashed in an attempt to use the Robo-smasher to reprogram Oemga into a Decepticon. However Omega destroyed the machine and forced the Constructions to retreat. Many years later they found their way to Earth. The Secret of Omega Supreme In 1984, Megatron built Scrapper and his Construction companions in their secret base on Earth Heavy Metal War

It all makes sense.

Regardless of all that, Scrapper and the Constructicons were active among the Decepticon forces on Earth. They attempted to infiltrate Autobot headquarters to destroy the Autobot computer Teletraan I, but failed and ended up having a lava bath. Heavy Metal War The Constructicons were later vital in transforming New York City into the Decepticon city of "New Cybertron", and in the process Scrapper got to recycle Optimus Prime into a robotic alligator. City of Steel

The Constructicons later built a drill leading into Earth's core, in order for Megatron to tap its energy. While working on it, Scrapper had a dominator disc snuck onto him by Sunstreaker, allowing the Autobots to control the Constructicons when merged into Devastator. The combiner fought his fellow Decepticons for a while before the discs were overloaded and they returned to normal. Scrapper then provided a peptalk for his team before they saved the Earth from their own drill, which had gone out of control. The Core

"Truly you are a master of structural engineering, Grapple. I could never hold up a map with a stump for a hand."

At one point, Scrapper convinced Hoist and Grapple that the Constructicons wanted to aid the two Autobots in a construction project to build a Solar Power Tower. Scrapper claimed to have admired Grapple's work back on Cybertron. When Megatron found out, the Constructicons had to explain (at gunpoint) that they were still loyal to him, and once the tower was completed they would turn it over to him. The plan initially succeeded, but the tower was soon destroyed in a battle between the Autobots and Devastator. The Master Builders

Later, when the other Decepticons began to suffer from Cybertonium degeneration, Scrapper and the Constructicon worked fine. They took delivery of a shipment of the mineral via the space bridge, and failed to stop Spike Witwicky and Carly from getting by them and traveling to Cybertron. Desertion of the Dinobots, Part 1 When faced with the mighty Omega Supreme, long out for revenge against the Constructicons, Scrapper repeatedly taunted and insulted him. In return, Omega Supreme beat the slag out of Devastator, but couldn't finish the job due to a surprise visit from an asteroid bird alien. The Secret of Omega Supreme

"I dub thee Drone #24601. Now rise up and go forth in Megatron's name!"

When the Constructicons were tasked with building a drone army out of human cars, Scrapper was seen slicing the machines apart with a sword. Make Tracks Scrapper's nasty side was later shown when he worked under Blitzwing, who had temporarily overthrown Megatron. Scrapper used the remains of damaged Autobots to make a throne for himself... nasty! Triple Takeover

Scrapper and Constructicons were part of the Decepticon forces during the great battle of Autobot City in 2005, and Devastator was integral in breaching the city's defenses. However, Megatron was defeated and the Decepticons were forced to retreat onboard Astrotrain. Megatron was subsequently thrown out into space, and Scrapper wasted no time in nominating his Constructicons to be the next Decepticon leaders. Soundwave and his cassettes disagreed, and within minutes every Decepticon in the ship was fighting the rest for that precious leadership position. Starscream won out in the end, and the Constructicons provided music during his coronation (Scrapper doesn't let minor things such as mouthplates get in his way of playing the trumpet). The Transformers: The Movie

In the remainder of 2005 and throughout the following year, Scrapper and the Constructicons maintained a smaller, but still present, role in the Decepticon army, lending their talents to the Decepticon/Quintesson alliance by constructing Trypticon out of a populated human city in only one night. Five Faces of Darkness, Part 4 Later, they built a planetary engine on an asteroid and battled on the planet Eurythma, Carnage in C-Minor aided in the overthrow of Paradron Fight or Flee and took part in an attack on Japan. The Burden Hardest to Bear Although brief, the Constructicons even played a part in the battle for the Plasma Energy Chamber in 2007, seen firing on Autobots with the Terrorcons. The Rebirth, Part 3

Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers comic

Scrapper and the other Constructicons started constructing Trypticon on a small island paradise, destroying the flora and fauna in the process. When the Autobots found out, they sent Superion to put a stop to them, and the Constructicons responded by forming Devastator. Unfortunately, the newly activated Trypticon, who wanted the challenge of fighting Superion by himself, grabbed Devastator and threw him into the ocean. After all was said and done, the Autobots put Scrapper and the rest of the Constructicons to work, restoring the island to its former natural splendor. Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers #6

The Headmasters cartoon

Scrapper and the Constructicons were stationed on Earth in 2011, under the command of Sixshot. They attempted to prevent Ultra Magnus from sending reinforcements to Cybertron to help the Autobots fend off Galvatron's siege on Vector Sigma. Scrapper and his squad were ganging up on the Trainbots until Metroplex arrived and shooed them off with his superior firepower. Having failed to stop the Autobot reinforcements from departing, the Constructicons followed them to Cybertron. As Devastator, they tried to shoot Superion in the back, but Optimus Prime foiled their aim, making them hit Abominus instead. Four Warriors Come out of the Sky Devastator was involved in a combiner shootout on Cybertron until the Battleship Maximus arrived and annihilated the Decepticon combiners.

Scrapper and the Constructicons were guarding the Decepticon space bridge on Earth, but failed miserably when Twincast single-handedly fought them off and stole a ride on the bridge. The Great Cassette Operation

Zone OVA, manga and story pages

Seeking to create a Decepticon Zone to counter the Autobot Zone, Decepticon Emperor Violen Jiger gathered together the Nine Great Demon Generals, upgrading them with powerful new armor and weaponry, then sent them forth to conquer planets. Scrapper was among those summoned, but only in the form of Devastator. Zone Part 1 Zone Enter the New Supreme Commander, Dai Atlas!

Marvel Comics continuity

Generation 1

Events from the UK-only comic stories are in italics.

Scrapper is the green and purple one.

Early in the Transformers' war on Earth, Shockwave used the stolen power of the Creation Matrix to give life to the first of a new generation of Decepticon warriors, the Constructicons. Scrapper and the other Constructicons were immediately given a mission upon their coming online — construct a communications tower to transmit a message to Cybertron. A truckstop was raided for raw materials, which attracted the ire of trucker Bomber Bill, who, with the aid of the Autobots, managed to destroy the tower Scrapper and the other Constructicons had built. The Next Best Thing to Being There! Scrapper and the Constructicons, after troubleshooting their union as Devastator, were sent by Shockwave to abduct Buster Witwicky. Their attack was called off to regroup when Soundwave discovered Buster held the rest of the Creation Matrix in his head. Devastation Derby!

"Constructicons—slump into vehicle mode!"

After Megatron's retaking of Decepticon command, Scrapper and the other Constructicons were charged with building perimeter defences around their headquarters located at the base of a coal strip mine in eastern Wyoming. Devastator's services were again required when the Autobots staged a surprise attack, but they retreated once they had what they needed. Command Performances!

During Ratbat's command, an attack was ordered on the combined Autobot forces on Earth's moon while Blaster and Grimlock dueled for leadership. Under cover of battle, Scrapper and the other Constructicons retrieved the remains of several fallen and captured Decepticons. Totaled!

Scrapper and the other Constructicons seem to just disappear from the ranks of the Decepticons after this point.

Earthforce

These stories do not fit into the normal Marvel continuity. See Earthforce for details.

Scrapper worked for Megatron during the Earthforce saga, as did most of his fellow Constructicons. He was first seen telling stories to Mixmaster in the Decepticon base's hallway while Soundwave was mentally searching for traitors... and blackmail information. Secrets He later joined the united Decepticons in an ill-fated strike against Autobot Earthbase. Divide and Conquer!

Marvel UK future timelines

In 2008, Scrapper was briefly seen with a Decepticon strike team on-board Astrotrain, just before they were attacked from out of nowhere by the Quintessons. He didn't say much, but that's probably because he was still pissed that, in the future, the Constructicons think Mixmaster is a better leader than him. He thinks that's crazy. Get it? Get it? Space Pirates!

The following two sections both split off from the end of the Generation 1 comic, but in different, irreconcileable directions.

Generation 2

Scrapper and Bonecrusher helped construct a thermal bomb perimeter around the Autobot/Decepticon encampment which was entrenched on Earth awaiting arrival of the Swarm. A Rage in Heaven!

Finally, Scrapper gets some "facetime."

In the fifteen years since the battle on Klo, Megatron was resurrected and had reclaimed portions of his previous army, including Scrapper and the other Constructicons. When the Decepticon Landquake mysteriously appeared and claimed to be from another timeline, his body was scrutinized by Soundwave and Scrapper. Scrapper's research led him to believe Landquake was telling the truth, noting that study of Unicron pointed towards the existence of parallel worlds and that Landquake's makeup was unlike any Transformer construction he was familiar with.

Furthermore, he announced to Megatron that an anomaly in South America radiated identical wavelengths as Landquake, something that might merit further inspection. Scrapper's only mistake was suggesting the hypothetical help of Shockwave would be appreciated, resulting in violence upon his person from Megatron. Regardless, Megatron agreed that the anomaly demanded his attention, and while Scrapper was instructed to pry deeper into Landquake's energon readings, the Decepticon commander accompanied the rest of his troops to South America. Crossing Over, Part 2

Scrapper and the other Decepticons arrived at their destination, where they met the Autobots in battle. Megatron ordered him and the Constructicons to merge into Devastator, which they did. Grimlock attempted to take on Devastator singlehandedly, and did meet with some success when Devastator stepped into a sinkhole and fell apart into his component Constructicons. Crossing Over: Part 3 Now separated, the Constructicons were being beaten ruthlessly by the Dinobot Commander, and so Scrapper ordered the Constructicons to flee and regroup. Grimlock "helped" them along by picking up Scrapper and throwing him into the others. Crossing Over: Part 5 Eventually, as a group, the Constructicons were able to subdue Grimlock, but by then the battle was over and the Decepticons had no choice but to retreat. Crossing Over: Part 6

Construction vehicles are green on Cybertron, too.

Nine million years ago, a young Megatron staged a Decepticon uprising and sieged Iacon to smokescreen his true designs. Long-buried planetary engines from Cybertron's similarly buried past were to be refitted by Scrapper and his Constructicons in order to convert their planet into a galaxy-faring war world. The War Within #2 While Megatron had gone briefly missing during battle, Scrapper was ordered by Starscream to accelerate the process, despite the Constructicon's misgivings. Their hasty actions could tear the planet apart! In the end, Starscream gave Scrapper a choice: mechaform Iacon, or get mechaformed by Motormaster. The War Within #5 As Scrapper predicted, the region went under a major upheavel, and he and the other Transformers in the area were forced to abandon their work as everything exploded. The War Within #6

The war entered a dark age when both Optimus Prime and Megatron were presumed lost forever in a space bridge accident. During this time, the technology of combining (and thus Devastator himself) was invented, but Devastator and other super robots were declared non-allied by the Crisis Intervention Accord to stave off an arms race that would escalate the war to frightening levels. Despite this, Ratbat's Ultracons secretly enlisted Scrapper and his Constructicons. Escalation Devastator was unleashed upon the Wreckers in the Tagan Heights, but was defeated by the Protectobots. Devastation

Millions of years later, after a subset of the Transformers war awoke on Earth in 1984, the Constructicons somehow found their way from Cybertron to Earth. They were defeated along with the other Decepticons in 1999, and subsequently lost for years following a shuttle explosion. When they awoke in 2002, the Constructicons combined into Devastator and rampaged through San Francisco. Prime Directive #5 Optimus Prime shot them in the head. Prime Directive #6

After their defeat in California, the Constructicons were secretly rebuilt by Starscream, and Devastator became his personal enforcer after Megatron was kidnapped by the alien Keepers, leaving Decepticon leadership up for grabs. Scrapper and many of the other Decepticons joined Starscream on a venture to assume control over the human city of Las Vegas. Their occupation was interrupted by a renegade human army and a trio of Autobots: Grimlock, Prowl and Bumblebee. Scrapper prepared for their invasion by booby-trapping a Michelin Tire Store. When that turned out to be a dumb idea, he decided to just shoot at the Autobots instead. Scrapper was taken out fast during the fight, however, when Grimlock knocked him into a pool of molten slag created by Mixmaster's chemical powers. The acidic heat knocked him off-line, and Scrapper had to be dragged to safety by his partners. Hardwired

Megatron eventually returned to Earth, but Scrapper and the Constructicons owed Starscream for reconstructing them, and so remained loyal to him when the Decepticons split into two factions. Of course, this only meant they were among the first to be captured by the Keepers when those aliens took over Las Vegas and turned Starscream into their puppet. Trapped behind an impenetrable force dome, Scrapper and the Constructicons attempted to batter their way out as Devastator using sheer brute force, until Skywarp offered a better idea. Reconverting into their separate modes, the Constructicons dug a tunnel out beneath the force field, enabling Starscream's faction to join the final battle against the Keepers. Acting as Devastator, they were too far away from Optimus Prime and his Matrix-induced force shield when the American nuclear assault was dropped on the Keepers, and were blasted into pieces. Annihilation

The nuclear blast left Devastator fused into his singular robot mode, leaving him unable to split back into Scrapper and his other components. Eventually, Devastator fell into the Void along with Omega Sentinel in the final conflict with the Keepers, and was left in stasis lock, drifting in the vacuum of space, after the Sentinel destroyed the Keepers' power source and shattered the Void back into real space-time. The starship Bounty, on a secret space mission from Earth, came across Devastator's remains and planned to tow him back to Earth. Fusion

The pieces of Scrapper and the Constructicons fell under the control of Earth Defense Command, and were held in their Roswell facility for study. Generation 1 #0

G.I. Joe vs the Transformers

Scrapper calls Mindbender on a hockey foul.

The ruthless terrorist organization known as Cobra dug dozens of Autobots and Decepticons out of their four-million-year resting place and began rebuilding them into a Cobra-controlled army. However, with Wheeljack and Bumblebee's help, the mind-controlled Transformers were awakened, and the very cheesed-off Constructicons, including Scrapper, descended upon their previous captor, Doctor Mindbender. G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers #3 Scrapper and Hook decided to kill Mindbender by dropping him into Mixmaster's mixing drum, but they were interrupted by Soundwave, who needed the doctor to work the SPS Satellite for him. G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers #4

Their surroundings were soon under attack by Autobot and G.I. Joe forces, requiring Scrapper and the other Constructicons to combine into Devastator. Ultimately, Devastator was brutally defeated after the Decepticon fatally wounded Hound, sending the fallen Autobot's friends into a berserker rage. G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers #5

IDW Generation 1 comics

Scrapper and his team of Constructicons were apparently put out of work due to the labor shortages masterminded by Ratbat. Rather than sitting idly by and collecting roboto-unemployment checks, the Constructicons became involved with the illegal fighting ring operating in Kaon, dedicating their talents to quickly creating a combat arena at each new site of the tournaments, modifying scrap on hand for their needs. Scrapper witnessed firsthand the level of brutality Megatron could reach outside the ring when he executed the Autobot surveyors, Fastback and Bumper. Megatron Origin #2 The Constructicons also worked on the fighters themselves, repairing them after fights and installing new weapons on them. Megatron Origin #3

As the war began in earnest between the Autobots and Decepticons, Scrapper and the Constructicons remained loyal followers of Megatron. Four million years ago, Scrapper was part of a convoy along with Ramjet, Octane and his fellow Constructicons bringing energon to the war effort. They were intercepted and captured by Optimus Prime and Ironhide. The Iron Age The Constructions battled against the Autobots when they made an assault on the Citadel. Broadcast As the war began in earnest between the Autobots and Decepticons, the Constructicons remained loyal followers of Megatron. At one point they were stationed on Varas Centralus alongside Swindle and Sky-Byte, where they committed some atrocity that was enough to cause Sky-Byte to abandon the Decepticon cause. A Better Tomorrow

But seriously, folks—*Boom!*

Millions of years later, the Constructicons arrived on Earth. Having obtained combiner technology, Scrapper and his team merged into Devastator and made short work of the Autobot unit on the planet. All Hail Megatron #7 With those goody-two-shoes out of the way, the Decepticons moved on to conquer the planet, starting with New York City. As the Constructicons transformed and revealed themselves in the middle of the city, Scrapper told the humans that they were aliens from another world, who had come to spread a message of peace and unity. A confused Hook looked at Scrapper, then they shared a laugh and proceeded to kill things. All Hail Megatron #1 After a good while of random destruction, Scrapper ordered his team to combine so they could take out the tunnels leading in and out of New York. All Hail Megatron #2 When the city had fallen, Scrapper listened to Megatron's victory speech. All Hail Megatron #4

The Constructicons later joined Starscream's rebellion against Megatron, as the Seeker's logical arguments had apparently appealed to them. Scrapper mocked Megatron with a sarcastic "All hail Megatron" before forming Devastator and attacking him. All Hail Megatron #10 Before Devastator could kill his former leader, however, he found himself under attack by human jets. He managed to get rid of those, only to be attacked by Omega Supreme instead. All Hail Megatron #11 The battle ended when Omega blasted Devastator straight through the torso, defeating the Constructicons. All Hail Megatron #12

D-I-I-I-I-I-E MAXIMA— I mean, AUTOBOTS!!

In the two years that followed, Scrapper was separated from his fellow Constructicons. He joined up with a rag-tag group of Decepticons left behind on Earth, and helped rescue Thundercracker from the ruins of New York. Scrapper was seemingly hoping that the elite Seeker would lead their little group, but Thundercracker was not interested, and instead leadership fell to Swindle. Seasons in Flight Seeking revenge on Omega Supreme for the Constructicons' earlier defeat, Scrapper and Swindle led their group into battle with Hot Rod and the Autobots who had gathered around the defense base. After Scrapper was briefly strangled by an invisible Mirage, the battle ended on an oddly peaceful note when Swindle suggested that the Autobots and Decepticons join forces to get off Earth together. New Arrivals, Old Encounters

Together with the newly liberated Hook and Mixmaster, Scrapper began building a starship for the mixed Cybertronians to use, but unfortunately, Hot Rod would not allow them to free any more Constructicons. When Ultra Magnus turned up to investigate Ironhide's death and subsequently fired upon Swindle, Scrapper transformed in response to defend his his group leader. Seasons in Flight

As the Decepticons ultimately turned against their Autobot "friends", Scrapper gleefully tried to crush Bumblebee with his bare hands until Thundercracker blasted the Constructicon for a loop. After the new gestalt Menasor was defeated, Swindle escaped from Autobot and Skywatch custody along with some Constructicons, including Scrapper. Earthworks

Scrapper hid in a construction site, but Spike Witwicky knew about his hiding place. In reaction to Devastator killing a friend of his when he destroyed the New York tunnel, Spike tracked Scrapper down, blinded him with acid and trapped him beneath some steel beams. Scrapper tried to surrender, but Spike explained that he wasn't there to take him in, but rather to prove that a single human could defeat a Transformer and to put a stop to the threat of Devastator forever. He then used the helpless Scrapper's gun to blow his head off. Scrapper

When the Decepticons captured by Skywatch were broken out by the Decepticons who left Earth, Blitzwing was seen carrying Scrapper's body away. Revenge of the Decepticons Part 1: The Demolished Man They subsequently scanned his mind and viewed his final memories in life. In a confrontation with Optimus Prime, Megatron mentioned Scrapper's fate and used Witwicky's execution of a surrendered combatant (and the cover-up that followed) as a reason why no humans could be trusted, not even Prime's closest comrades. After the battle, Optimus ordered Prowl to investigate Scrapper's murder, apparently seeking truth and justice. Revenge of the Decepticons Part 5: Enemy Mine

The other Decepticons brought Scrapper's corpse with them when Megatron summoned them to Cybertron, where the other Constructicons still proved capable of combining with it (sorry Spike). However, Devastator was left with a paralyzed right leg, which led to his defeat in a battle with the Autobots. Chaos Part Three: Kings

Wings Universe

Scrapper was part of Hook's Constructicon team when it was augmented with Deathsaurus's Combiner technology and turned into Devastator. Battle Lines, Part 5 During the third Cybertronian war, the Constructicons were ambushed at Elevation Recostalus by a group of Autobots including Hauler and Erector, who disabled them before they could form Devastator. The group remained offline until 1984, when Megatron rebuilt them on Earth and appointed Scrapper as leader in Hook's place. Transformers I.Q. last issue review

During the Battle of Autobot City, Devastator was blasted apart by Ultra Magnus's team. Scrapper claimed the Autobots had merely gotten lucky, and he and the other Constructicons began pursuing them, gunning down Red Alert in the process. A Flash Forward

• Scrapper (Constructicon, 1985/2011)
  • Team ID number: 3
  • Japanese ID number: 33
  • Accessories: Laser pistol, Super Wing

Scrapper was originally from Takara'sPre-Transformers Diaclone toyline, as Construction Vehicle Robot No. 3 Shovel-dozer. Scrapper transforms into a bright green wheeled payloader. He can form the Attack Payloader mode by attaching the "Super Wing" (Devastator's chest piece) onto the rear of his vehicle mode.

Scrapper can combine with the other Constructicons to form Devastator, forming the gestalt's right leg.

• More information on Scrapper at TFU.info

• Devastator (Giftset, 1985/2011)
  • Japanese ID number: 37

Scrapper was also available as part of the Devastator giftset that was available in several markets, including the United States, Japan and parts of Europe.

• Constructicon (Constructicon, 1992)

This European-exclusive version of Scrapper was yellow, but with the darker purple from the original toy instead of the lighter Generation 2 shade, a grey canopy, and came with no Devastator parts. This toy was also not officially named, as he came on a card shared by the other Constructicons.

Generation 2

• Scrapper (Constructicon, 1993)
  • Team ID number: 3
  • Accessories: Laser pistol, Super Wing

The complete set of Constructicons were re-released and redecoed as part of the first assortments of Generation 2 products. The first—and seemingly more common—versions were yellow like the previous European release, but lacked the gray plastics, had brighter purple parts, had the "DECEPTICON" tampographs on each one somewhere, and — most importantly — came with all the Devastator bits.

A later and seemingly less common run changed the yellow plastics to rich orange. It has been rumored that this release was only available in Kay-Bee stores, but not verified.

"Decepticon Scrapper" is one of the five toys included in this Walmart exclusive giftset. He's a grey and black redeco of Energon Bonecrusher and Sledge, transforming into a wheeled front-end loader green and purple trim. He can also form a leg or arm to any Energon-series "Powerlinx Combiner" super robot, though his nominal placement is as the left leg of Constructicon Devastator. He is equipped with two translucent purple accessories; a rake-like weapon and a "super energon" Decepticon-style energon star.

  • ID number: 20
  • Accessories: Laser pistol, Super Wing

Scrapper was reissued in a giftset with his Constructicon teammates as part of TakaraTomy's Encore line. Apparently cast from a newly created mold, given the presence of a Tomy copyright stamp rather than the original Hasbro/Takara one, Scrapper sports a few minor differences from the original figure, including squared off fist-holes, and solid knees where the original toy featured small holes.

Merchandise

Decoy

• Destron Hero Collection 22 (Decoy multi-pack, 1985)

In Japan, a purple rubber mini-figure of Scrapper was available in part of a massive multi-pack of similar mini-figurines. The number etched into his back is the sum total of his Tech Spec ratings, as these figurines were used as game pieces for a variety of Transformers board games in which this number had some meaning to how the game was played or something. Scrapper has a weird-looking face.

• Scrapper (Decoy, 1987)
  • Decoy number: 47

The Hasbro Decoy release of the Scrapper game piece is almost identical to the Japanese version, except the number on his back is a simple "checklist" number. Like all Decepticon Decoys, he was a randomly-chosen pack-in available with the carded Throttlebots, Combaticons, Stunticons and Terrorcons. Early Throttlebots were packaged with red Decepticon decoys: these are much rarer than the purple ones.

Notes

• The Generation 1 cartoon series bible contains a description of Scrapper typed with the name "Gravedigger", then crossed out by hand and rewritten "Scrapper". This name would actually appear in fiction, though applied to a different Constructicon. "Payload" was another name considered for Scrapper at one point.
• As noted above, Scrapper's original toy has a third mode called "Attack Payloader", formed by sticking the purple "Super Wing" that forms Devastator's chestplate on top of Scrapper's payloader mode. As his Marvel Universe entry notes, this allows him to fly at 60 mph over a range of 250 miles, although Scrapper has yet to use this ability in fiction.
• Despite being the (nominal) leader of the Constructicons, Scrapper forms one of Devastator's legs, rather than his head and/or body. This contradicts the pattern established with most subsequent Transformers combining teams.
• It is unknown what relationship, if any, exists between Scrapper and the Universe Micromaster Constructicon Buckethead, who appears to have replaced Scrapper in that incarnation of the Constructicons.
• In recent years, toys sporting the name "Scrapper" require an additional "Decepticon" prefix for trademark reasons, hence making the official name "Decepticon Scrapper".
