Macerator (ROTF)
- Macerator is a Decepticon from the 2007 movie franchise in the live-action film continuity family.
Macerator is new to Earth. His robot form is squat and powerful, with one arm ending in circular blades instead of fingers. He finds it rather hard to credit Starscream's assertion that humans are an intelligent species, let alone that they could manage to create weapons that pose a threat to a Decepticon. Practical and gruff, he berates Dropkick for being an aesthete, praising his own choice of industrial garbage shredder truck alternate mode as being more functional and useful. Dropkick, in return, dismisses Macerator as "Primitive." Starscream considers them both hotheads.

Macerator is one of the new troops who came to Earth to aid Starscream following Megatron's death. He worked with Starscream's forces in Zambia, participating in their intended Autobot trap atop Victoria Falls. He almost succeeded in toppling Optimus Prime to his death. Though saved from his own deadly plunge by Starscream he soon after met his maker when he again battled with Optimus Prime atop the Kariba Dam. A sword stroke to his spark sent Macerator's lifeless body plunging to the waters below.
