Constructicons, clockwise, from top left: Mixmaster,
Scavenger, Long Haul, Scrapper, Hook, Bonecrusher.
I just pulled out my Transformers trading cards. I think these are from around 1986ish. Here are some excerpts from the back of the cards:
Mixmaster: Function: Materials fabrication. Will use anything to make new materials. Performs job with evil, cackling glee. Has 8,000 degree C infrared cannon. Certain chemicals render drum inoperative.
Scavenger: Function: Mining and salvage. Megatron "tolerates" him only because of his ability to use his shovel's magnetic, ionic, electrical, gas sensors for detection purposes.
Long Haul: Function: Transport. Secretly desires to be a warrior. As a vehicle, can carry 90 tons for 1,200 miles.
Scrapper: Function: Construction engineer. Shows his true malevolent genius by incorporating defeated Autobots into his buildings' structures. Can fly 60 mph by addition of levitation wings.
Hook: Function: Surgical engineer. Snobbish, supercilious, unpopular perfectionist. Crane lifts 20 tons, error tolerance less than .00001%.
Bonecrusher: Function: Demolitions. Rubble-strewn wasteland is his idea of beautiful landscape...rare is the edifice better off left standing.
Did some failed English Ph.D. candidate write these bios?
