Buckethead

This article is about the Universe Micromaster Decepticon. For the Micromaster Collection Decepticon, see Scrapper (Micromaster Collection).

Buckethead is a Decepticon whose continuity of origin is unknown, but who was caught up in the Universe war.

"Give me back my guitar!"

Buckethead is one of the six Micromaster Constructicons who combine into Constructicon Devastator, Buckethead forming the chest. Buckethead's personality, like that of his comrades, is unknown. It is also unknown what, if any, connection he has with the other green-and-purple front-end loaders throughout the multiverse.

"Fine, have it. I'm keeping Megatron's nickname, though."

• Buckethead (Micromaster, 2004)
  • Accessories: Devastator legs

A redeco of Gran Arm, Buckethead transforms into a front-end loader. He can form form the chest or back to any similar-construction Micromaster combiner robot, but his nominal position is as the chest of Constructicon Devastator.

A KB Toys exclusive, he and the other Micromaster Constructicons were also ultimately available from Sears during Christmastime, and Kmart's online store.

This mold was also used to make Micromaster Collection Scrapper.

The Micromaster Constructicons were sold in Europe under the Energon banner, presumably since Europe never actually got Universe. The toys are identical to the Universe versions.

Notes

• Buckethead is clearly an homage to the Generation 1 Constructicon Scrapper. The fact that several of his equally-homage-y teammates did keep their original names suggests that the use of "Buckethead" was likely due to Trademark issues at the time.

• Every bit of purple on Buckethead is paint. His wheels are the only parts not ccast in bright green plastic.
