The war between the Autobots and Decepticons is the legendary overall plot of the entire Transformers franchise. Many members of the war have switched sides during the entire history of the war, but one could be propelled to think how someone can simply forget their values as happy habitants of Cybertron and become a Decepticon, despite knowing full well that the power-hungry Decepticons are acting towards the destruction of their planet. The Transformers Constructicon Devastator robot symbolizes the group who had no choice in the matter.

The Constructicons is a group of habitants from Cybertron well known for their ability to build. Before being brainwashed and reprogrammed by Megatron into joining the Decepticons, the Constructicons built the magnificent Crystal City – the very same city Megatron ordered them to destroy. Before becoming Decepticons, the Constructicons were simply a set of individual robot engineers. This is shown by the different vehicles that come with the Transformers Constructicon Devastator robot. The robot also shows another ability of the Constructicons, and that is to combine and form one big machine whose only goal is that of ultimate destruction: the Devastator. This ability, however, is a power given to them by Megatron after he was able to reprogram the group into working for him.

The Tranformers Constructicon Devastator can be disassembled into 6 separate Constructicons in their vehicle forms. The vehicle forms are those being used in building construction, which ultimately defines the original purpose of the Constructicons. Once assembled, though, the six members form the Devastator, an almost mindless robot whose only goal in life is to destroy anything in its path.

For Transformers fans who consider Transformers as more than just a story in comic books and films, the Constructicon (or Construction) Devastator may be something not worth purchasing simply based on the knowledge that their group is part of the Decepticons. But looking at their history, it wasn’t their fault – they were simply brainwashed. If not for the utter beauty of the Constructicon Devastator (amazing quality built, and a relatively towering height of a little over a foot) and the hours of fun this set is sure to provide, this set is definitely worth buying for the history that comes with the lives of the Constructicons.
