Title:
Constructicon Scavenger
Description:
• Scavenger (1985/1986)
• Team ID number: 2
• Takara ID number: 35
• Accessories: Laser pistol, ”Target Shooter”, Devastator’s right fist, ”Rotor Blade” projectile
• Known designers: Kōjin Ōno (TakaraTomy)
Scavenger was originally from Takara’s Pre-Transformers Diaclone toyline, as Construction Vehicle Robot No. 2 Power Shovel. Transforming into a bright green and purple Komatsu PC200-1 excavator, Scavenger can become an ”Attack Shovel” by attaching the ”Target Shooter” projectile launcher (with the ”Rotor Blade” loaded) onto the pegs on the right side of his green vehicle chassis. He can combine with his fellow Constructicons to form Devastator, functioning as the right arm. His ”Target Shooter” becomes Devastator’s lower right arm.
On the European continent, Scavenger was initially released individually alongside the other Constructicons by Hasbro’s subsidiary Milton Bradley (MB) in 1985.[1][2] In 1986, Scavenger and the other Constructicons were re-released in Europe, albeit this time in ”Hasbro”-branded packaging (but manufactured by Joustra). The main difference with all other releases thus far was that the Constructicons’ main color was now yellow instead of green.[3][4][5] These are not to be confused with the later, non-combining yellow European Constructicons, nor with the yellow Generation 2 Constructicons (see below for both).
For the GiG Italian relase of Transformers, ”Braccio” and the other ”Escavators” were sold in boxes very similar to the Takara packaging instead of on Hasbro-style cards. The boxes even sported the Takara ID numbers from ”31” to ”36”, and omitted the ”Hasbro” logo on the packaging in favor of a ”Takara” logo.
