Devastating Dia Builder...
Here's a Devastator kitbash by "Ptitvite". I gather he repainted the original Constructicons and made custom parts to link them together. Very nice!
I never had the original Devastator/Construction Robo, although I had a cast-off original Constructicon (can't remember which one). I finally obtained the mold when I was 22, thanks to K-mart and their wonderful Easter baskets (which often contain knockoff Transformers or Brave series toys).
The other Transformer combiners until Monstructor were designed to be able to be interchangable with each other (the "Scramble City" concept), which was nice, but the concept got boring after a while - you had 4 little guys who were limbs and 1 big guy who was the center*. The fact you could connect the combiners to Metroplex and Trypticon wasn't publicized (I don't think the parts to combine them were included with either Metro or Trypty).
Here's a Diaclone.net page on all of the Devastating versions of the Construction Robo:

Now, with these guys, a giant screwdriver would be cool. (Okay, it'd still be pretty silly, but I'd go with it).
* - Trivia - the Seacon SC team had 5 little members who could turn into weapon platforms - 4 combined with big Snaptrap to become Piranacon, while the other became P's gun.
