Mindbender took one of the Constructicon hand guns and backwards engineered it into a demolition pack that a person, usually a BAT, could use just as effectively as the cumbersome and fuel inefficient Mole drillers. Unlocking the morphing matrix of the technology he found a device that samples, excavates and converts matter at the designated rate it is programmed. A magnificent tool that doubles as a weapon. A sub-setting for it takes the minerals it excavates and makes munitions for it's primary dual shell mortar. What he did not foresee was the tactile link the machinery develops over time, the initial Tele-Viper that was his aide during this project has begun had some unsettling side effects and is currently undergoing augmentations to subside the effects. Also BATs that have used the Bonecrusher or Devastator Pack have re-designated themselves as CON-Bats and changed their own appearance.
I made this for the Action Pack challenge, took inspiration from the classic two in one concept of the originals and even evolved into making a specialized BAT just for the occasion as well.
