Four bunnies

Just four today, but one is long.

1. The G1/IDW Decepticons place a bounty on Cliffjumper, dead or alive. Because I've been looking through the community's archives and I keep seeing the same Trigun ad: "The bounty on his head is almost as big as his gun." Bonus points for working in a G1/IDW version of Lockdown.

2. In G1, Orion Pax was friends with Ariel and Dion before the war. According to War Within #1, Bluestreak was friends with Optimus before he became Prime. Meanwhile, Spotlight: Mirage has Optimus say, "We were friends once, Mirage. Before the war." Over in Exodus, Jazz and Optimus are friends. Let's assume Orion/Optimus was friends with all of these people before the war. What kind of adventures did they have when they were younger? And how did this diverse group meet anyway?

3. As with #2, but as sparklings. Come on, you know they were little hellions in the Cybertronian version of kindergarten. :-)

4. Searching the TF Wiki has taught me that there are many, many Constructicons in the multiverse. What if the usual G1 Constructicons built the others to add to their team? And then they keep adding and keep adding; it's almost like they're infecting others with their own special brand of Constructicon madness...

Basic Constructicons: Scrapper, Bonecrusher, Scavenger, Mixmaster, Hook, and Long Haul.

Additional Constructicons (Names taken from other universes.): Gravedigger, Hightower (or Hightower), Buckethead, Quickmix, Dirt Boss, Demolishor, Scrapmetal, Payload, Overload (ha!), Rampage (They've recruited a Predacon?), Skipjack, Kickback (And they've recruited an Insecticon?), Trample, and Tread.

Additional Constructicons (Purely conjecture on my part): Shockwave has been infected/recruited; see picture. An unnamed purple and green Decepticon medic loosely based on Soundwave's character model appears in the Devil's Due G.I. Joe crossover; see picture.

Autobot Constructicon: Hauler--and what does he think about all this anyway?

Man, that's a lot of Constructicons. They could almost make up their own faction. And how many different Devastators can they create?

Grapple and Hoist seem to come close to being Constructicons too.


Also, the RotF comics seem to imply that Constructicons were rather common during the time of the first Primes - after all, they're the ones who did the actual building of Sun Harvesters. The more modern 'Structies just seem to descendants of the general type.

No, I figured you meant G1 - just mentioning the RotF detail.

If I recall things I've read, there's at least two more unrecorded Constructicons in G1 - probably animation errors and messed up backstory, but maybe the current 'Structies were a part of a larger group, or even a racial type (like in movieverse) and miss having more Constructicons around - therein being their reasoning for why they start building and/or converting mechs as new 'Structies.
