Megatron, on the other hand, admits that Sumdac basically ''is'' his pet (as well as [[KidnappedScientist prisoner]]).

* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: The behavior shown by the Constructicons to Bulkhead resembles peer pressure techniques, as they encourage Bulkhead to drink their [[FrothyMugsOfWater preferred brand of oil]], make fun of him when he tries to defend Bumblebee, and encourage him to behave and talk in a way that's outside of his usual manner.
Added DiffLines:
* EveryoneHasStandards: The Constructicons are rude, crude, loud, [[{{Irony}} destructive]], and are a bad influence on Bulkhead. However, they're more than willing to help Bulkhead when he's in danger, do the same for Lugnut and Blitzwing later, and are willing to lend their construction expertise to anyone who needs help with a project (even Megatron).
Added DiffLines:
* GeniusDitz: The Constructicons act very crudely, seem to have no real manners, and can easily be won over if offered [[TrademarkFavoriteFood oil]]. With that said, they are incredibly skilled at construction work, and are capable of expertly building or repairing things. Even ''Megatron'' is impressed with their talents (although he just wanted them to help build his bridge).

* PoisonousFriend: Mixmaster and Scrapper are both decent guys, but they're rude, loudmouthed, and otherwise a rambunctious pair. Thus, when they cause a bit too much trouble at the Autobot base, the others quickly deduce them as this to Bulkhead.

While conducting repairs to the city of Detroit, the Autobots find themselves greeted with two unexpected guests after a pair of Allspark shards brings two construction vehicles to life. Bulkhead quickly befriends the two bots, but things take a nasty turn when the Decepticons encounter them.

* ConstructionCatcalls: Mixmaster and Scrapper both howl at brightly colored vehicles that pass by.
* EasyAmnesia: Thanks to Bulkhead slipping some explosives into the Constructicons' oil, the explosion wipes their memories.
* FaceHeelTurn: Megatron is able to get Mixmaster and Scrapper to join his side by offering them better oil than what the Autobots have.
* ForegoneConclusion: No matter what Bulkhead did, given that [[WesternAnimation/TheTransformers previous]] [[Film/TransformersRevengeOfTheFallen series]] showed them as Decepticons, Mixmaster and Scrapper were both destined to join the bad guys.

** Mixmaster and Scrapper are, of course, based on the Generation One characters of the same name. Their color scheme is close to their Generation Two toys, while a crane similar to Hook is seen in the classic green and purple colors.
** The Construticon's catcalling is similar to how [[Anime/TransformersRobotsInDisguise Side Burn]] flirted with red sports cars.
** As with [[WesternAnimation/TheTransformers the original cartoon]], Megatron is able to corrupt the Constructicons into his service, only with oil instead of forcibly brainwashing them.
