Scavengers (RID)

This article is about a character or concept that lacks a name, but has an official term or designation. For more information, see Help:Nameless.

The name or term "Scavenger" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Scavenger (disambiguation).

They say that one man's trash is another man's treasure, but if the "Scavengers" come calling then they'll probably take your treasure and trash you. This scuzzy Decepticon crew makes a living stealing—ahem, salvaging the Autobot relics and technology left over from the Great War, and to them Earth is a treasure trove just waiting to be exploited. Under Clawtrap's tight-fisted leadership, there's no trick too dirty or move too underhanded when it comes to defending their findings from their foes.

Recently, they've struck up a partnership with a group of strange "Weaponizer" Mini-Cons, although the slightly more altruistic Mini-Cons view this as a partnership of convenience, not particularly happy about working with a gang of violent Decepticons.

The Scavengers include:

• Clawtrap (leader)
• Paralon
• Thermidor
• Scatterspike

Toys

Robots in Disguise (2015)

Warrior Class Paralon

• Paralon (Clash of the Transformers Warrior Class, 2016)
• Scatterspike (Warrior Class, 2016)
• Thermidor (Warrior Class, 2017)

Three out of the four Scavengers were made available in the Robots in Disguise toyline, with Paralon released as a Toys"R"Us exclusive. All three toys feature 5 mm posts that allow them to wield their associated Mini-Cons, or any compatible weaponry.

Notes

• It is ambiguous as to whether "Scavenger" is an official group name or if the aforementioned bots are just scavengers, lowercase.
• Their name MIGHT be a reference to the Decepticon salvage gang of the same name from the IDW comics...but their M.O's are different and there's less of them here, so your mileage may vary.
