Buckethead

Buckethead is a Decepticon from an unknown continuity who was drawn into the Universe War.

"Say I'm better than Slash or I'm taking your purse!"

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 Scrapper.

  • Accessories: Devastator legs

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

• It seems highly likely that Buckethead's name came about due to Hasbro's inability to secure the Trademark for "Scrapper", as other members of the team use the names of the Generation 1 Constructicons who share their alternate mode.

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