Scavenger
The last toy review of the year and let's give him a hand. Seriously, he's Devestator's right hand.
The toy is rather decent, going from robot to excavator from the Diaclone line. Scavanger got reissued a few times, once in a giftset and the others were redecoed into a yellow robot.
The file card paints him in a dim light. He thinks he's fairly useless and is constantly digging up things to try and prove his worth.
The comics had him as one of the first Decepticons born on Earth and that was about the full extent of his character. He showed up alongside the rest of the Constructicons and mostly played a roll with them. He did survive to the end of the Marvel book, so that's something.
Don Messick voiced him. That doesn't clear up the utter Gordian knot that is the Constructicons origins in the show and at this point I think I'll skip trying to explain. He was mostly there and that's about all I can say about him. Individually he did very little but he was part of a larger crew so there's that.
