Quotes

[Scrapper bangs his shovel into Mixmaster]
Mixmaster: Hey, watch where you're pointing that thing, shovel head!
Scrapper: Who you calling "shovel head", cement breath?!
Mixmaster: My name ain't "cement breath", okay? It's...it's...uh...
Scrapper: Your little name tag says "Mixmaster".
Mixmaster: Nah, that's too long. Just call me "Mix".
Scrapper: All right, Mix. And you call me...
[Sees a sing that says "scrap"]
Scrapper: Scrap.
Mixmaster: All right, that's too short. How 'bout "Scrapper"?
Scrapper: I like it.

—The Constructicons come to life and name themselves. They had an easier time than Wreck-Gar.

Other notes

• This episode was first shown in Arabia.

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.
