Transformers references

• The Constructicons always try to hit on cars, just like Side Burn from Robots in Disguise.

Real-world references

• The constructicons often hit on cars (which could be the equivalent to female robots... Or something.), just like real cartoon construction workers.

Miscellaneous trivia

• The new Constructicons Mixmaster and Scrapper have a very loose resemblance to Nintendo's Mario and Luigi, respectively.
• The Constructicons first start off as Constructobots, a portmanteau of construction and Autobot, but later Megatron gives them a new name, formed from construction and Decepticon instead.
