Re: Confusing as multiple constructicon drones
I think that in the Movieverse, the TF factions share vehicle mode scans. TFs must have some sort of data/comm network, and vehicle scans are simply data. So arriving Decepticons had 4 options:
- Scan a vehicle
- Use a size-matching shared scan (with color variations, etc) from the "Deceptinet".
- Don't bother scanning anything (Fallen, some of the desert battle Decepticons)
- Use a previous alien scan/mode (Megatron's favorite approach)
I think too that mode conversion (adapting their bodies to transform into a different vehicle/alt mode uses a LOT of Energon, so they avoid doing it willy-nilly.
