Synopsis
Shockwave creates the Constructicons to destroy the Autobots. The Constructicons then later merge into Devastator when faced vs. the Autobots' attack, but are defeated. Shockwave wonders why Optimus Prime has failed to infuse life into Jetfire with his creation matrix (since he doesn't know that Prime passed on the full effects to Buster).
