    As another person mentioned, I always saw the Constructacons as a neutral group, back during Cybertron's golden age. They were commissioned by the then failing Decepticons to build the ultimate Autobot killer in Megatron. Once they did this, the war took on a bad turn and eventually Megatron wanted the Constructacons to be part of his war force and as such, reprogrammed and modified them. Once he left and went to earth, the Constructacons searched for him for 4 million years being hunted by Omega Supreme. Somehow, they ended up in earth and either crashed and were deactivated for many years (Similar to the Insectacons) Yet Megatorn had them rebuilt on earth. This reactivation somehow led to Omega Supreme to track them down and he joined up with the Autobots.

    Here are some of my ideas on what I think some good alternate modes and unique robot modes could be for the Constructicons. I will also say what parts they will become when forming Devastator. Mixmaster: Mack Granite Cement Mixer Truck with a robot mode based on both his animated and movie counterparts. (forms neck and upper back) Long Haul: Hitachi DH321 Mining Dump Truck with a robot mode based on his movie counterpart. (forms lower torso) Hook: Qy16 16 ton Crane Truck with a robot mode based on his Generation One counterpart.

    (9:20-9:31) "His appearance on the battlefield, towering over rooftops like a giant Cybertronian Kaiju, is an immediate signifier that a Decepticon offensive has escalated to a terrifying new level." This well-written line really sums all it up for me when I picture G1 Devastator. (Not so different from the vibes I get when displaying my Unite Warriors Devastator in battle with other Classics-styled figurines!) Great info-view! Do keep up the inspirational work.

    if i had to guess it's their "Basic construction Vehicle' form that actually made them so popular... I imagine more than one exasperated mother saw the to Dump Truck, then saw the Giant Metal Tonka Dump truck two shelves over and went with the smaller (cheaper?) one... only to realize once she got it home that he had 5 friends Little Billy would demand to complete the set... - being the first combiner no doubt added to the cool factor as a kid, but the want/need for the whole set, whether they actually got it or not, no doubt affects the nostalgia/love of the toys - as a kid I got the 'core' of the Protectabots and the Seacons at assorted Holidays and always Wanted either/both complete sets... Luckily (in Hind sight) my parents did NOT oblige as an adult 'collector' I now recognize how much a Modern Combiner Set costs (I have 4), i couldn't imagine what the old (weaker) toys would have set back 80's parents for my part I always saw Transformers toys as 3 toys in one... It's a Character... I'm sure more than a few imaginations kicked in and saw He-Man and Optimus team up (or fight) It's a Vehicle... Race car, tank, Back Hoe, if you never transform the toy it still functions along side your Hot Wheels (even if out of scale) It's a Puzzle... the act of switching modes is it's own 'play style' even if you've done so a Million times (of my above cited collection, about every 3 months or so I 'rotate' their forms... so I have two in Combined form in a 'battle pose'... one team in robot mode supporting their ally and the 4th team in Vehicle mode coming to Join the battle

    I don’t know why, but I’ve always been a big fan of Scrapper specifically. I think it’s some combination of his raspy voice, cool design, and the glimpse of a deeper personality we get from toy bios. After years of saving and waiting for the right time, I finally was able to buy a Devastator today. I have to say, I’m most excited to finally have a Scrapper for my collection, possibly even more than I’m excited to have Devastator himself.

    Fun side fact - Gravedigger gets his name from media mistakes. It was a prototype name for Scrapper, likely discarded because of Gravedigger the monster truck also being a thing. But off-shoot media, most notably a Choose Your Own Adventure style book, used the name as an extra member because this was a time where other media outlets didn't always communicate directly with the original source owners. Those misprints were later canonized with Gravedigger as a younger member of the team who was left out of Devestator because he's even more unruly and tantrum prone than Bonecrusher, and eventually got his team of drone limbs to combine with out of spite with the Power Core Combiner tech. Hauler was said to have been a member of the team that left over differences before they were turned evil. He has an artistic flare and often changes his paint job, which was how they explained his toy (an exclusive repaint of Grapple) was Constructicon colors, while the cameo he gets his name from in the cartoon was colored like a Diaclone toy (duller colors than Grapple would later use)
