The Transformers franchise debuted numerous subgroups and factions beyond the main Autobots and Decepticons in the Generation 1 progenitor continuity. One of these separate factions was the Constructicons, who were an iconic section of Megatron’s horde. Though their vehicle modes suggested construction as their pastime, they and their combined form were far more interested in devastation.Devastator was the original Combiner Transformer, and this united form put the Constructicons on the map in G1. Despite that, the team has rarely been portrayed in newer continuities, namely in a form resembling the original group. There have been numerous teams inspired by the Constructicons, however, proving that one of the most destructive groups of Transformers has a long-lasting legacy.The Constructicons had some of the most conflicting origins in the classic cartoon series, with their introduction portraying them as being built on Earth. Later episodes changed this to have them existing long beforehand on Cybertron, with the Constructicons apparently being the ones to build the Decepticons’ leader, Megatron. Conversely, they were also portrayed as once being great constructive artists who were friends with the gigantic Omega Supreme. Sadly, they were corrupted by Megatron (again, making their origins confusing), with their turn to villainy seeing them destroy the beautiful Crystal City.
