Construction Team


 * The Construction Team is an Decepticon subgroup from the Energon portion of the Unicron Trilogy continuity family.

The Construction Team is a group of five sturdy construction vehicles. Powered by super energon, though each powerful in their own right, they can combine to form the surly construction foreman Constructicon Maximus.

The members of the Construction Team are:


 * Steamhammer (Team leader)
 * Bonecrusher
 * Duststorm
 * Sledge
 * Wideload

Energon
When Megatron destroys Superion Maximus's brother, he unlocks the living seal on the Super Energon pool and awakens the remaining Combiners. While Superion Maximus is aghast at his brother's destruction, the Decepticon combiners are merely curious about who managed to reactivate them. Megatron declared that the Super Energon was his and that he was master of all Decepticons.

Superion Maximus protested that the Super Energon belonged to all Transformers as Megatron jumped into the pool, changing into Galvatron once again. When the Autobot combiner tries to attack reborn Decepticon leader to no avail, Galvatron orders the two Decepticon combiners to give chase as Superion Maximus flees. Later, Superion confronts the two Decepticons, saying that they've been protecting the Super Energon for millions of years now, so why do they let one transformer have control of it all. Bruticus Maximus and Sontructicon Maximus merely reply that Galvatron is their master now, and that he represents the future of Cybertron.



Constructicon Maximus eventually paid for his treachery when a vengeful Superion Maximus attacked both Decepticon combiners. Surprised by the Autobot combiner's ferocity, both Decepticons were caught off-guard at first, until they over-confidently held him down, which proved to be their downfall. Superion launched all of his limbs at Constructicon Maximus, pinning against a wall, as Superion's cental component Storm Jet crushed the Decepticon combiner's spark, killing him.

After Bruticus Maximus managed to destroy the Autobot's limbs, Superion Maximus powerlinked with Constructicon Maximus' limbs and attacked the confused Bruticus, piercing his spark, and causing a massive explosion which destroyed the remaining Decepticon.

 * Constructicon Maximus {2004, 2005)
 * Japanese ID number: EX-01




 * Constructicon Maximus is comprised of his five team members, with Steam Hammer forming his central body component. His limb's Energon Weapons form his hands and feet. Similarly to Generation 1's Scramble City combiner teams, Constructicon Maximus (as well as Superion Maximus and Bruticus Maximus) feature universal connection points for the limbs, allowing many different combinations and even swapping of limbs from different teams.


 * Only Steamhammer, Sledge and Dust Storm were initially released in 2004 for the North American, Asian and Australasian markets, with Wideload and Bonecrusher released much later in 2005 and even 2006. This unfortunately led to many consumers having an incomplete Constructicon Maximus for many months.


 * The Japanese release of Constructicon Maximus, named Buildron, was a Toys "R" Us Japan exclusive giftset. There are several paint deco and plastic colour differences between the US and japanese versions.


 * This mold will be redecoed into Classics Devastator.
