The best way to reconcile their continuity: 1. They built Megatron. 2. Megatron persuaded them to join him and so he reprogrammed them. However, they were destroyed on Cybertron. 3. They were rebuilt on Earth with new bodies.

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.

(forms neck and upper back) Long Haul: Hitachi DH321 Mining Dump Truck with a robot mode based on his movie counterpart.

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 can just imagine old Bucket-head giving Devastator/the constructicons the 'Really, bro?' look every time something breaks in the base, followed swiftly by a chorus of "He did it" pointing at each other and Starscream. My favorite was a tie between Gen 1 and Animated, for the complete departure from the norm it gave the audience.

Devastator was my favorite combiner - but as a kid it hurt my heart to see him get his ass kicked by Bruticus and I think he got beat up by Menasor also. I remember - I wanted my parents to buy all the constructicons - but they could not afford them - $40 was a lot of money to spend on toys back in the 80s. lol

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.

Thank you Chris X ♥️ I’ve always loved the Constructicons and was always happy that they were in all the series of the original animated series. Even their limited showings in the comics - like Transformers UK’s Demolition Derby they were great. I adore their bright green and purple colours.

When the Tonkanator Recolor of Devastator released a few years ago, I always liked to think that this was the constructions mimicking what the autobots did in that one episode where they pretended to be the stunticons. Pretending to be autobots so they could infiltrate their base like they did in the cartoon.

I think I remember hearing somewhere that the movie Devastator's look in the movie wasn't its only form, and that the end result of the combination is always different, so maybe one potential result could be one that is like g1 but with Demolisher or Scavenger forming the torso instead of Long Haul and Hook

Similar to constricticons there were Autobots Build Team from "2001 Robots in Disguise". The team consists from Wedge aka Build Boy (orange bulldozer), Grimlock aka Build Hurricane (green power shovel), Hightower aka Build Cyclone (red crane), Heavy Load (yellow dump truck). They resemble or hommage Constructicon team: Bonecrusher, Scavenger, Hook, Long Haul.
