Transformers: Galaxies

After the War of the Threefold Spark ended, Termagax recruited the Constructicons (Scrapper, Bonecrusher, Scavenger, Mixmaster, Hook, and Long Haul) to rebuild the damaged cities, despite Wheeljack insisting on demolishing those buildings permanently. Over time, the Constructicons found the Enigma of Combination on Rivets Field, allowing them to combine themselves into a "Combiner", but at the cost of initially losing control. Termagax asks Scrapper and the others to focus on their inner wishes, so they can have control on themselves during the Combination. Time later, the Constructicons continue their duties on the planet Mayalx, while worrying about how other people are afraid of them. Meanwhile, Bombshell secretly watches them, as he has a hidden agenda for them.[3]

While the Constructicons try to focus on training in an attempt to control their Combination, Bombshell (who is working for the Rise) takes advantage to tell them about his origin: Bombshell and his Insecticon partners were forged with an unstoppable appetite for raw materials, so they were sent to metabolize Energon for Cybertron. They were promised to be celebrated and rewarded, but when the War happened, the Insecticons consumed dead Transformers, causing the current Senate to become afraid of them. So the Senate sent the Insecticons to a remote colony, without any promise of returning to Cybertron. Bombshell also insists the Constructicons that they were sent away for that same reason, and he promises them freedom.[4]

A long time ago, the Constructicons helped the Senate build most of Cybertron's buildings, despite being sceptical at the start. Despite losing control of their Combination several times, they earned the Senate's trust. Following the War, Nominus Prime orders them to search for new Energon reserves on the planet Mayalx, at the cost of leaving Cybertron.[5]

The Constructicons are disappointed about how Cybertron abandoned them out of fear and combine into "Devastator" by using unstable Energon supplied by the Insecticons. Devastator destroys Nominus Prime's statue and kill several security guards. The Insecticons take advantage of the victims' corpses. Several cycles later, the Constructicons collected Energon from Cybertron and delivered it to the Rise, and Shockwave left them on another location, in hopes to recruit them in the future. The Constructicons now feel the same fear the Cybertronians had against them, but also admit they are now free.[6]

On planet Probat, Deathsaurus has made his routine as the planet's Ambassador to collect Energon for the Senate. One day, he needs Cliffjumper to temporarly substitute Bumblebee as part of a meeting with Natalus, the Probats' foreman. As Bumblebee helped the Probats to install an Energon refinery in the past, those people literally worship him. Therefore, when Cliffjumper arrives, the Probats mistake him as Bumblebee, which reminds him of all his previous misunderstandings because of his similar appearance. However, Cliffjumper learns that the Probats have evolve after being exposed to Energon, and have been using their own organic waste to harvesting new Energon supplies; therefore, only Deathsaurus uses the refinery to provide Energon crystals. At the same time, Deathsaurus finds out Natalus was hiding other Energon cubes in case of a disaster and kills him as punishment. When Cliffjumper arrives, he tells Deathsaurus about the hyper-refined Energon, but gets shocked by the latter's motives to kill the Probats in order to create more Energon for himself. Following this revelation, Deathsaurus threats Cliffjumper to help him.[7]

When Cliffjumper threatens to report the Senate about his actions, Deathsaurus pile-drives him straight through a wall until leaving him unconscious. Deathsaurus takes the advantage to publicly expose Cliffjumper's identity and frame him for Natalus' murder. After escaping a misguided mob of Probats, Cliffjumper meets a young Probat girl who tells him what happened in the past: when Cybertron colonized Probat, the natives were forced to strip their wings away. She then believes Cliffjumper is innocent and helps him find Deathsaurus, who plans to burn down the Probats' several homespires and steal their Energon crystals, so when the city gets rebuilt, he will repeat the same action for every mega-cycle. During their fight, the Probat girl grabs a chunk of the crystal and jams it into Cliffjumper's dashboard, enabling him to become energized enough to incapacitate Deathsaurus into a coma state. Back on Cybertron, Cliffjumper lies to Prowl and Chromia about the planet's Energon resources being dried up, so that nobody returns. Meanwhile, the Probats celebrate their freedom of flying, and present a new statue that honors Cliffjumper.[8]
