Notes

• The name "Demolition Drone" comes fromBeast MachinesScavenger's toy bio. It was never actually used in either of the drones' two fictional appearances given above.
• The idea that the Demolition Drones are commanded byTankorinstead of Scavenger also comes from the latter's toy bio, in which Scavenger is stated to "[fall] under Tankor's charge of specialized tank drones".
