Age of Primes

Yeah, I can remember Drag Strip as the lone formula car. The rest? Might as well be Decepticon drones. That's a good tip on Fireflight though. I don't even know what a Harrier is.
 
It's the smaller one. Slingshot also had more play in the cartoon which helped. I think that's part of the problem. Early stories both comic and cartoon didn't do much to differentiate them.

When it comes to combiners, I rarely take them apart. When I first completed Devastator, I left them as individuals for a while. I wanted to make sure I learned their names, their faces, their modes. I didn't really do that with Menasor. Once I had them all, that was it, he was Menasor. I still have a hard time remembering the names of the individual 'Cons besides Motor Master. And I did the same with Superion. To me, the Aerialbots are the most indistinguishable, because they're ALL JETS with similar color schemes.

The Constructicons and Devastator have always held a special place in the lore, and not just because they were the first combiner. The Constructicons all have fairly unique designs, and more importantly, their individual bots got more screen time and development than most other combiner bots because they helped fill out the limited Decepticon ranks in the early seasons (much like the mini-vehicles on the Autobot side). And of course, Devastator's big scene in the '86 movie helped cement his place in Transformers history.
