Fiction

IDW Transformers movie comics

In the distant past, the All Spark Cube created a race of powerful, trans-dimensional beings as the first inhabitants of Cybertron. The Cube gave these beings mighty powers, as well as terraforming their world, but it was not limitless, and gradually became depleted. The first beings learned that the All Spark's power could be replenished by harvesting the energy of stars, but they were unable to locate new stars to suit their purposes, despite their amazing ability to travel between dimensions. Once again, the Cube came to the rescue, creating a race of workers, who had the ability to change their shape.

The "builder" workers were among the very first of these new beings, who would construct a harvester when a suitable sun had been found. Once built, the device would drain the energy of these stars, thus replenishing the All Spark. Defiance issue 4 It is assumed that at some point during the civil war on Cybertron, the builders sided with Megatron, the new protege of their only surviving ancient master, The Fallen. In Megatron's Decepticon army, they became known as the Constructicons.

Many thousands of years later, the United States Military passed on information of Demolishor's presence in Shanghai, China to Major William Lennox and Optimus Prime. They ordered the NEST team to prepare to move out to deal with the threat. Alliance issue 4

The Veiled Threat prequel novel

The Constructions Kickback, Trample, and Tread came to Earth hoping to be able to revive their leader Megatron. They were mining for uranium in the Australian outback in the hopes that if they collected enough energy, they could jump-start Megatron's spark.

NEST became aware of their presence when they picked up their intermittent energy signatures. They sent a strike team consisting of Optimus Prime, Ironhide, Salvage, William Lennox, and Kaminari Ishihara to take care of them. The three Constructicons put up a good fight but were killed.

Revenge of The Fallen (movie)

Demolishor was hunted by NEST in Shanghai, China, and was shot and killed by Optimus Prime.

After the All Spark shard was retrieved from NEST's secure bunker at Diego Garcia, Long Haul, Rampage, Mixmaster, Scalpel, Ravage and another Constructicon secreted themselves aboard the Bayos freighter heading towards the North Atlantic. Once the ship passed over the Laurentian Abyss, the Decepticons jumped overboard and dived down to where Megatron's broken body lay. Scalpel ordered the death of the smallest Constructicon to rebuild Megatron, a request that Long Haul and the others readily granted. Soon, Megatron was reborn!

Rampage was assigned to hold the parents of Sam Witwicky, Ron and Judy, captive. Long Haul and Mixmaster met with another Rampage, Scrapper, Hightower and Overload—as well as another few Constructicons—in an Egyptian quarry near the Pyramids and combined into Devastator. Devastator battled Skids and Mudflap, before being called by Megatron to excavate the stones covering the solar harvester within the Great Pyramid of Giza.

Meanwhile, doppelgängers of Long Haul, Mixmaster and Scrapper hunted for Sam Witwicky in nearby ruins. Rampage was ordered by Starscream to spring a trap by demanding Sam hand over the Matrix of Leadership in exchange for his parents, but Bumblebee attacked and killed him. Jetfire killed Mixmaster, while the others died in a bombing raid by the United States Air Force. Devastator was blown up by an experimental railgun fired by the USS Kidd. Revenge of the Fallen

Notes

• In the Revenge of the Fallen novel adaptation, the four Constructicons that accompany Ravage to the Laurentian Abyss are not named, but described as bipedal, disqualifying Rampage.
