- Groundpounder is an Autobot Micromaster from the Generation 1 continuity family.
Groundpounder of the Construction Patrol lives by the philosophy, "Dig first, plan later." His tendency to dig into buried power lines, gas mains, and sewage pipes has made him less-than-popular with his teammates[1].
Remember, call before you dig!
