The Spark Trap

Leave a reply

The spark trap is a very old, previously long lost artefact of highly mysterious origins and with an obscure history. All we know for sure about it is that:

  1. It is legendary, and ancient;
  2. It was originally forged or used by early Autobots;
  3. It possesses the power to trap sparks.

If you want to find out exactly what happens when Scavenger takes possession of it, you can read my new short story entitled The Spark Trap, posted at: FanFiction.net and Lexicon.

Description:

Scavenger is a Constructicon, and also a combiner, so he has the ability to merge with his fellow Constructicons to form Devastator (right arm). He often works with Mixmaster and Que on construction projects, and particularly excels when the mining or salvage of various materials is required. Scavenger is happiest in a supporting role, often praising and encouraging his team mates when they need it most. However, because of this he is often misjudged as having a need to seek the approval of others, or of having a low sense of self worth, by those who do not know him better. There also exists a much more reserved, artistic side to his nature that seems to contradict his usually gregarious personality.

Back Story:

Scavenger and the Constructicons first joined the Decepticons when Megatron gathered together Destrons who had been ousted from Iacon by the Autobots, in rebellion against the way they were being treated. His shovel’s unique ability to detect even trace amounts of any known element in the universe has enabled him to help his fellow Decepticons track down and disable enemy targets on several occasions.
