European Constructicons

This is one of the oddities of the Generation One Transformers toy line. After the line ended in the United States and Europe continued to receive their own exclusive figures, they rereleased the six Constructicons. They were in their new paint schemes (which would be the colors for their Generation 2 debut in 1992 in the U.S.), but what was strange was that they came with none of the parts to form Devastator. In addition, each card had a generic looking robot that looked like Scrapper, but no individual character art (although they did have a shot of the entire team, but the large image was generic). Also, none of the figures had individual names. They were all labeled Decepticon. This sort of reminds of the European exclusive Earth Defense Force which were four remolds/ recolors of four out of the six Decepticon Breast Force members from Japan. They could combine to form their super robot form, but without the remaining members, the robot had no arms or head. You have to love random items.
