#IDW scrapper

[revelboo]

HELLO I was the anon who got a random blockee and was hoping for the soundwave figures and while I didn't get him I got Scavenger and he has my whole heart 😭😭😭 he's my lil booboo 🥰🥰 (I will be ordering soundwave tho and more I'm doomed)

He’s lonely. He needs friends 😃 Scrapper finally showed up after his tracking stopped updating Dec 31st and he disappeared off the face of the Earth. Two more to go.

Drive Pt 4

Constructicons x Reader

• “Thank you?” Part of you wants to ask if they’d hurt anyone stealing this stuff for you, but honestly? You’re scared to. Because it looks like Long Haul and Bonecrusher probably went on a crime spree. And Bonecrusher just keeps producing stuff out of nowhere to add to the pile. Food, clothes, small electronics, soaps and candles. Maybe they’d just demolished a mall? They mean well and they’re trying to take care of you, but you really hope they didn’t hurt anyone. Even as a guilty part of you is ridiculously excited about the food and soap.

• Bending, Long Haul begins setting your new things in the mini habsuite they’d made you. Noting that Scrapper and Scavenger had been busy while he’d been out and had tapped into the base water lines to make you a tiny wash rack and waste disposal area. Your little habitat now even bigger as they all keep adding to it. “You needed food and human stuff,” Long Haul mutters, embarrassed when you offer him a small smile. And it’s not like he’d minded. Getting to really let loose and destroy things had felt good. Freezing when you limp closer and lay a soft hand on his ped, he hesitantly brushes a servo over your head before turning away. “It’s either feed you or watch you die,” he adds gruffly, uncomfortable with your affection.

• Venting as you smile up at Long Haul, Bonecrusher reaches to gently scoop you up. Feeling little hands on his servos as he carries you over to his berth and lays back carefully rubbing your jaw. So small you feel insubstantial in his hands, and something about that fragility fascinates him. “You missed us?” He asks, stilling as you grab his servo and smile up at him like you’re not the least bit frightened. That trust shocking him. How can you be so small and not cower?

• Watching Long Haul pimping out your alien, Barbie dream house, you wrap your arms around Bonecrusher’s servo to keep him from petting from neck to navel and further south. It’s not like he knows better or means anything by it, but putting a stop to it as quickly as possible seems a smart move. “It was quiet,” you say opting for honesty. Because the six of them are constantly laughing and jostling each other. Loud and raucous in a way that reminds you of a frat house. Complete with the alcohol, or high grade as they’d called it. After realizing you’re safe as long as you play along at being their collective pet, you’d started consciously trying to make friends. After all, your survival depends on them.

• “Must have been boring,” Long Haul calls from the floor as he arranges boxes of food stuffs in a tidy pile in a corner. You’ll need storage space so this stuff isn’t just lying around. “I’m thinking cabinets and shelves,” he adds, looking at where Mixmaster and Hook are working on reports. Waiting for Mixmaster to vent at him, but set aside his report to help.

• Glancing at his brothers fussing with your space again, Hook checks on you and Bonecrusher. Making sure the much bigger mech isn’t being too rough with you, but so far he’s been shockingly gentle. And right now the huge mech is making a grumbling purr of his engines at you. Something he’d call out anyone else for. Getting punched in the face by Bonecrusher not exactly on his to do list, though, because his brothers definitely don’t warrant the same gentleness you do.

You understand there's something wrong with IDW characterization of the Constructicons when you realize Hook speaks like a common worthless thug and not the snobbish motherfucker he is supposed to be

wada sez: This strip leads into Megatron Origin issue #2—the irony being that the Constructicons only use Wheezel and his friend as raw material for their building work. The graffiti on the walls reads “WHEELIE WAS HERE” and “REJECT THE PROPGANDA [sic] - BLASTER [...] WRONG”, both in the exact same text, implying maybe Wheelie had a countercultural phase I guess? Other snatches include “BELIEVE IN [...] OF”, “THE WORLD IS ENOUGH FOR ALL OF US”, and “PIT FIGHT HERE TONIGHT”.

My illustrations for the Transformers Big Bang 2023 ( @tf-bigbang )

Working on this year Transformers Big Bang was memorable. A lot of hard work with fun and interesting chats with the author of this unique story.

The multishipping nature of the Constructicons and Prowl has always been appealing to me and even wholesome (depending on the fanfic of course, but this one is not the exception).

To all of this, @basedprowl adds a pinch of drama or conflict by even more shipping, including the amazing Tarantulas bringing Scrapper back to life for his own interests!!.

So if you love Prowl (or at least you dont hate him that much xD), The Constructicons, Tarantulas, a pinch of drama and a lot of shipping go ahead and read all of this here.

(Oh btw, Tarantulas design is a mix since I love his shape in Earthspark but I like best his colors from IDW, so yeah is a curious mix and I like how he ended up looking)

[they-hermes]

Curious to see more if your combiner teams/combiner headcanons? Especially for the first five (Constructicons, Stunticons, Aerialbots, Combaticons, & Protectobots).

What kind of dynamics do you see between teams (both Con to Con combiner teams, and Con to Autobot combiner teams) and within teams? Who gets along better with others and how do the combiners feel about their components? (Only thinking platonically here)

I love combiners (especially the Stunticons and Protectobots) to death and there aren't enough combiner fans who truly care about the combiner and the components. Just interested in seeing sole of your headcanons for any/all of those five, if you want to share any!

ahhh combiner fans lets all come together!! this is a loaded question and im happy to answer bc i love combiners and their components! im gonna put em in a little g1 general continuity soup

In general for me i dont really like the idea of combiners being born together as a team i think idws approach where everyone had their own lives until they (by choice or force) became a combiner and learned to work together. also i dont like treating them as children/recently born bots even though thats literally what happened to the aerialbots/ stunticons/technobots. basically an outside force made them combiners instead of being directly built as one

the aerialbots are the only team where i see them referring to eachother as "brothers". i think they're close enough to consider themselves family. the others have more complicated feelings that range from "coworkers" to "tight knitted friendgroup" to "those people who i combine with"

between the teams the autobot gestalts are much more friendlier, Hot Spot and Silverbolt definitely get along, until hot spots energy tires silverbolt out. individually the protectobots are older than the aerialbots, but the aerialbots were a combiner group first so superion is older than defensor. the two teams work together a lot and have common goals. they'll even hang out together either separately or all together, like air raid and blades will spar a lot (and end up in first aids care)

(for idw i imagine rook and alpha bravo get along, for obv reasons)

the decepticon gestalts hateee eachother lmaoo. its a constant battle of 'wow these other freaks are so incompetent and stupid. good thing im the only normal one here' except they're all stupid. onslaught technically has the youngest combiner as bruticus was formed after menasor and devastator but he himself is only a couple of centuries younger than scrapper. motormaster is the youngest yet refuses constructive criticism even tho his combiner is clearly the most unstable and has subpar leadership skills that take a toll on his teams output. actually the rest of the teams dont hate eachother as much as their commanders do, blast off and dead end exchange maintenance tips, and vortex likes hanging around the structies for mindless conversations while they work

and for bot vs cons, they cannot stand eachother. the protectobots are the only ones trying to be nice; the aerialbots are assholes and the cons are worse. dont bring up hot spot or silverbolt around onslaught and motormaster respectively, or they'll both blow a gasket. the combaticons, built head to toe for war destruction and everything worse, cant stand seeing the protectobots act all peaceful and helpfull and shit, its disgusting.

as for the combiners... well they dont think much. see for the average combiner, it's hard to think that your arms and legs are separate people when you're trying not to get your face beaten into. they have some awareness, but very little, and dont know their components names. they can access shared memories and information, but thats about it. defensor hears about his components from the humans and thinks they're nice, superion thinks the war would be over by now if he didn't have to decombine and combine over and over again

[constructiconweek]

Ok happy new year! And thanks for everyone who voted I’ll go ahead and post the words I’ve selected for Constructicon week 2025 when we get closer to the dates feb 16th-22nd I’ll post the official list with the days and rules and all that as for now this is the Constructicon and ‘their word’ if you like to match the Constructicon with their word if the day and again this year I’m giving each two words one gem stone and one rock:

Scavenger: Spherocobaltite: Granite

Bonecrusher: Gembone: Igneous

Mixmaster: Corundum: Salt (NaCl)

Devastator: Topaz: Sandstone

Long Haul: Serpentinite: Coal

Scrapper: Beryl: Sedimentary

Hook: Free day (anyone else Constructicon adjacent)

(The different universes (G1, IDW one and two, TFA, Armanda and others can appeal to any day just tag it when we get there!)

These aren’t building materials but if you wanna build something Constructicon related please post we’d love to see it!

Again the days are February 16th - Feb 22nd 2025 (Engineering Week in the US) contact me admin @fireyhotsupertalia if you have any questions!

(Left out the links to what each of the rocks were/looked like in case they were keeping this post from showing up in tags but they are in the OG pinned on the blog

[velvetwyrme]

I would like to know which (tf) guys youre interested in ✋️😐

(Also sorry for showing up in your notifications so much hshhdhf)

no need to apologize! its a delight to see u there :]!! please imagine me waving furiously at u every time i see ur name in my notifs.

also, thank you for asking!! i... uh. now i actually gotta list them out hang on whfjfbdmsnf,,

i pretty much will read/enjoy whatever reader insert/self insert stuff i can get my hands on, but i do have FAVOURITES. peep my non-exhaustive list under the cut !

I'm a big fan of Soundwave (as much as i say i dont have a singular fav, TFP!Soundwave was also what made me cave and check out TF for real after spending several months on the outskirts just reading fic, and the first TF figure i got was of G1!Soundwave so uh. TOTALLY. NO SINGULAR FAV.)

Drift was one of the first characters i got attached to in IDW,m along with Ratchet... lemme be the filling in a Dratchet sandwich please abd thankyouu hrhhhgh (I also love TFP!Ratchet !!)

For TFOne I wanna kiss Sentinel u_u... and Airachnid and Elita-1 because hey. i can dream. also Darkwing because I have really bad taste sometimes apparently like seriously?? DARKWING????

Also big and blue- Thundercracker!! The rest of the Elite Trine (Starscream and Skywarp) is good too but he's my bestest boy!!! He likes dogs 🥺 OH AND SPEAKING OF OTHER ANIMAL GUYS: Hound!! also Sunstreaker as an honorary Animal Guy because he's got his insecticon buddy.

Speaking of medics, I love First Aid !! (and the Protectobots/Defensor)... And Spinister! And Nickel! I'll say Knock Out too. Notably I think it's more fun if Breakdown is involved as well :]

Which reminds me... I also really like Jazz in all continuities because he smoothly charmed his way into my heart along with Prowl. Also the Constructicons and by proxy, Devastator, can smash me any time ;]

I ALSO like Shockwave in IDW/G1 and I don't know much about him in TFP but his design there fucks and I like the way I see him characterised in fic fbdmfbdk IDK I STILL HAVENT WATCHED TFP.

Also the little baby me in the back of my head demands for TFA!Starscream to be on this list because I really liked him, but I'm more invested in trying to kiss other characters in TFA, namely Prowl, Blurr, Scrapper, Swindle, Megatron and Shockwave.

Uhhh talking about big, intimidating and purple. I'm also a Tarn girly on occasion ^u^

I've run out of segues AND energy so. Rodimus. Whirl. Swerve. Nautica. Brainstorm. Wheeljack. the list goes on. there's probably more that ive forgotten but im sleeeeeeepy so im stopping here.

wait. PIPES. i lovr him dearly!!

[mychlapci]

I have 2 ideias

1: Tfa construtiprowl, but they construticons are more similar to their IDW versions + scrapper

And Tfa prowl is the stud

i literally never considered TFA Constructiprowl... your brain is so big and juicy. And with little twink Prowl as their stud? sign me up baby

[revelboo]

im 110% gonna take pictures of lego beebs once i build him nstuff BUT. BUTT. i found out the tfa constructicons just full on have plumbers cracks; the allspark almanac is full of all sorts of weird little gems gdshgjkmdsg- wanted to share since their idw counterparts got their moment to shine

Oh, no. Yikes, they’re- just, no 😂 thanks, I hate it

Drive Pt 2

Constructicons x Reader

• “What do you think the boss meant? About fragging humans?” Long Haul asks, looking from Hook to Scrapper. Because one of them must know. “Cause it sounded like somebody is.” Which makes no sense whatsoever. Sure, it’s fun enough to chase and terrorize them, but they’re not really sturdy enough for that. And far too small. Leaning over the berth where Hook had laid their human, he nudges you with a servo, fascinated despite himself with how soft you are.

• Aware of the speculative way Mixmaster, Long Haul, and Scavenger are studying you, Hook vents. “No one’s fragging humans.” Probably. But who knew? With the things he’s seen in Medbay, it honestly wouldn’t surprise him one bit. It’s not like it was that long ago that Wildrider was dragged into into Medbay by two of the other Stunticons with his spike wedged in a section of oversized concrete pipe and a lot of attitude about it. Most of it angry and sullen. And they look down on them. At least they don’t try scrap like that.

• Everything hurts as you shift, aware that you’re lying on something hard. Whimpering when something hard bumps you and rolls you onto your back. Eyes squinting open, your heart stutters in your chest as three vibrantly green monsters loom over you. “It’s awake,” one of them says, a giant servo still outstretched. Screaming, you roll and go sprawling when you try to lunge to your hands and knees. “And loud,” the same one growls with a laugh as your eyes water at the throbbing in your ankle. Broken? Sprained? Trying to crawl away only to have one grab you by that leg and drag you back as you scream.

• “Leave it,” Scrapper growls, venting as Long Haul keeps rolling you onto your back as you panic before pinning you flat under his hand. And you’re screaming again. “What did I just say? Leave it alone.” Glowering until Long Haul huffs and lets you go and then Scrapper has to pin you on your belly when you try to scramble away, noticing you’re pretty much dragging one leg. And he almost feels bad. Almost. “Pet’s broken, Hook.”

• Pet? “I’m not a pet,” you whisper, eyes watering as you’re gently pinned flat, the pressure enough to make it hard to breathe but not crush you. And then a new one is running his big servos over you, ignoring when you fight his examination. Hearing him venting as he touches your ankle and you cry out. “Stop!” He ignores that too, carefully manipulating your foot as you sob.

• “Don’t be so dramatic.” You’re leaking as Hook checks your ankle, but really? He has no idea what to look for. If it’s broken or not. Knows next to nothing about humans. “Be still,” he snarls as you struggle, leaning over you and smacking his other fist against the berth and you finally stop, eyes wide and heart beating frantically against his servos. “Maybe broken from the fall,” he tells Scrapper with a shrug. “I don’t fix humans.” A warm, little hand lands on his servo, trying to push him away in vain. Those terrified eyes overflowing and pained.

• “Can I play with it?” Scavenger asks, leaning his arms on the berth you’d been placed on. Aware of his brothers crowding around to see. As soon as Hook removes his servo, you curl up on your side, arms over your head and legs pulled tight to your body and his amusement fades. Because you’re even smaller up close, with tiny breakable bones and soft flesh. That’s discolored in places from their handling and the fall. And the sound you’re making? That hitching, broken sound of fear as you shake violently? He hates the way it makes his spark twist and ache and looking up at his brothers, he sees their uncertainty on how to deal with this. That it’s not fun anymore. Hesitant, he reaches out to run his servo against your spine. Sees Mixmaster touch your hair and Long Haul stroke an arm as you cringe into a tighter ball. Bonecrusher brushes against him, reaching to touch your hip while Scrapper and Hook watch and exchange a look.

im pretty sure dwj has expressed how difficult it is to write for the combiners, as there's simply too many of them to give enough focus or characterisation for to fit in the comic. its the same problem they had in idw with the constructicons. they just need the combiner groups to combine and make a giant combiner, so they pass over the individual characterisation to make them similar

its something i fully expected as a combiner lover, even in the g1 cartoon those guys had not much depth to them. unless we get a combiner focused story only, it unlikely any story will write the combiners with depth and individuality

I think he has said that, you're right, but I'm not talking about a focus when I'm saying it's disappointing. I don't actually think it's difficult at all to give the characters personalities and characterization. Like, IDW didn't actually always have this problem with the Constructicons. Shane McCarthy in All Hail Megatron (a story not focused on the Constructicons, in which they are just there to execute Megatron's plans) actually gave them their individual characterizations and let them all shine through in some little moments! He let Scrapper be sadistic and Hook arrogant and Mixmaster confused by the quality of human building materials.

The G1 cartoon was designed to sell toys and I'll give it credit here—even in episodes that weren't about a Combiner team, when individual members or gestalts showed up, often any little bit of dialogue or action they got was used to show what they're like. I can still remember little details like Breakdown getting words wrong or Abominus practically being a snarling animal.

Just because the Constructicons are all happy to be following Soundwave right now and the Combaticons are all happy to be following Starscream right now doesn't mean they can't have some individuation. So far, I feel like only maybe Onslaught has any semblance of his personality whatsoever.

[crissiti]

I have this tfa au where i just yoink things from other tf continuities and make them fit tfa. It’s also the au where my OCs live. Since I’m currently obsessing over idw constructiprowl I decided to shove then in there too.

Ok so I really want to have a constructiprowl in tfa so the solution I’ve come up is there are two Prowls. One is the one that we know and the other one is pretty much g1 Prowl. Im gonna call the second one og!Prowl bc he is older that the one we have in the show.

So og!Prowl’s story is before the war he was an enforcer and during the war he was in high command( not the SIC though). However sometime during the war he was used as a scapegoat by the rest of high command and got kicked out of the army( dishonourably discharged). People he thought were his friends turned on him. He is definitely morally grey and has done some very questionable things during the war but so has the rest of high command. He didn’t deserve to be just thrown under the bus like that. He has lots of anger issues. He was very pissed over the whole thing. So high command want to get rid of him because he is too important and knows too much to just be let to his own devices so they decided to chuck him in Garrus-9. They thought that by throwing him into a prison filled with Decepticons that hate his guts they would be rid of their problem. And since he had multiple times before expressed his dislike and mistrust to cons ( even ex cons turned autobots) they were convinced that he would be all on his own. But high command had underestimated how resourceful and petty he could be. Prowl is livid and filled with so much spite it’s a wonder how he hasn’t turned into a singularity. There are no lines he isn’t willing to cross anymore. He doesn’t care. He is going to survive and he is going to make them regret that they tried to rid of him.

And you wouldn’t guess who’s also in Garrus-9. A certain recently crippled Decepticon gestalt(the g1 version). They had just lost their leader Scrapper. So with some (lots of) manipulation, some scheming and some very questionable scientific intervention Prowl gets a gestalt. (Like it takes almost a year for him to get close to the combiner team and convince them to collaborate. He tries to “befriend” them. It’s funny cuz it’s a bit of the opposite of what happens in idw. He is the one who needs them and goes around trying to gain their favour.)Does he like them? No. Does he like the idea of them being inside his head and spark? Absolutely no. Does he want to give one big middle finger to the Autobots and fuck them over by causing a prison break in one of their most secure prisons? HELL YES!

After combining the constructicons are kinda smitten with the way Prowls mind works and even though they realize he was manipulating them they are very impressed. This version of Prowl is out of shits to give and even though he is very emotionally stunted and doesn’t want emotional relationships with them he agrees to become the new leader of the team and join the Decepticons. Since he used to be part of Autobot high command the Decepticon counterpart doesn’t trust him much, even though he is very good tactician, so he stays at a relatively low rank in the con army.

It takes literally thousands of years for his relationship with the structies to develop from something more than work colleagues. It takes him soo long to admit even to himself that he has started to care about the gestalt because he is so afraid to let people in. He tried to keep the relationship strictly professional and since he is not a complete asshole to the gestalt they are fine if a bit exasperated with him.

“We are just colleagues! I am your boss! Nothing more!”

“Suuureee, boss.” The whole gestalt roll their eyes.

And before he knows it he has five boyfriends.

I'd reeeeally love to read a fanfic about Hook and Bonecrusher as Partners. With their apparent contrasting personalities they would have so much potential imo. Being it about their relationship, or interfacing or the story on how they went from coworkers to something more complex. I'd leave an essay of a review if someone would do that. Any volunteer?
