Explanation of the conversion: Although this write-up is meant to represent Scrapper in his Generation One form, it also works for his Cybertonian and Generation Two Form.

History (Dreamwave comics): When civil war broke out on the planet Cybertron between the Autobots and Decepticons, Scrapper joined up with the Decepticons under Megatron.

Scrapper and the Constructions were successful in designing the first combiner, when they designed a united form for themselves called Devastator.

When Megatron and Autobot leader Optimus Prime disappeared in an accident with a space bridge, the Autobot and Decepticon forces splintered into smaller factions. The Constructicons joined up with the Ultracons under the leadership of Ratbat.

Scrapper Scrapper is a wizard at designing fortresses and energy production plants for the Decepticons. Disguising his creations to blend unnoticed into the surrounding alien human landscapes comes almost as easily to him. He modestly shrugs off the acclaim these talents inspire from his comrades. After all, he feels he is just fulfilling the requirements of his job, but overcoming an enemy Autobot and secreting his body in the foundation or structural skeleton of one of his buildings is another story. It is in such cases that Scrapper exhibits his true malevolent genius and relishes the admiration and praise it garners. Megatron considers him the most valuable of the Constructicons.

Note: In the television series it was revealed that all the Constructicons were once good, but then Megatron rewrote their personalities with his Robo-Smasher weapon, turning them evil.

Trivia: On the Transformers television show, the voice of Scrapper is played by actor Michael Bell. The Constructicons were reissued as Generation Two Transformers in a yellow and orange colors. There have been other color variants of them made by other companies as well. The original Diaclone Scrapper was red.

Scrapper Powers: Scrapper is very strong, intelligent and a highly skilled engineer. He can transform into a payloader. In vehicular mode, Scrapper's shovel can slice through 12-inch thick carbon-steel plate and lift up 30 tons. By adding on his single-jet levitation wing he can fly at 60 mph for 250 miles. In robot mode he carries a laser pistol. When combined with his fellow Constructions he serves as the right leg module and part of the torso module in the giant robot known as Devastator.

Weaknesses: Scrapper isn't very fast and has lower than aveeage firepower. While flying, Scrapper is a very vulnerable target due to his lack of maneuverability. His shovel is prone to metal stress fractures if overused. Scrapper doesn't have very powerful long range attacks.
