Scavenger, the insatiable explorer of the Cybertronian depths. Scavenger: The Decepticons' compulsive scavenger
Scavenger has a morbid obsession: he must always dig, search, and rummage. This compulsive behavior is also a strategic advantage, as he often discovers vital resources.
He is sometimes seen as nervous, anxious and insecure, constantly seeking validation from his superiors — especially Megatron.
This contrasts sharply with Hook 's arrogant confidence or Bonecrusher's unbridled aggression.
