"We take. We don't bother.

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

Robots in Disguise (2015)

He's basically alternate universe Zoidberg on steroids.

• Thermidor (Warrior Class, 2017)
  • Accessories: 2 blasters

Part of the eleventh wave of the 2015 Robots in Disguise line's Warrior Class toys, and the third wave of the Combiner Force subline, Thermidor is a retool/recolor of Bisk, transforming from a lobster-bot into a futuristic sports car. He comes with a pair of non-firing blasters, which can slot into the top of his claws via 5 mm posts. Like his mold-mate Bisk, two-thirds of his head is molded in a softer plastic to safely transform the figure without damaging any of his many spindly facial features.

Thermidor's scannable Decepticon insignia is centered on his robot front, accessible while still in-package.

• It is ambiguous as to whether "Scavenger" is an official group name or if the aforementioned bots are just scavengers, lowercase.
