History[]
Early Life[]
Little is known about Mixmaster's past. He came to earth at some point, took the form of a MACK Cement Mixer, and managed to be the leader of the Constructicons, along with Scavenger.
IDW Comics[]
As seen in flashback in Defiance, "Mixmaster" was created thousands of years ago by the AllSpark, along with the Constructicons to aid the Dynasty of Primes in building the Star Harvesters. In Tales of the Fallen, Mixmaster joined The Fallen's early Decepticons. On Earth, he and his brothers battled the turncoat Jetfire. Mixmaster was the last one standing and managed to get the Seeker in a crushing embrace, informing him "You die". Jetfire got out of this by teleporting into Earth's atmosphere, causing Mix's death by atmosphere re-entry.
Thousands of years later, Mixmaster sided with Megatron, the Fallen's apprentice during the civil war on Cybertron. In Convergence, both Mixmaster and Scavenger were the leaders of the Constructicons on the Nemesis. He became mad at Soundwave for ordering them to stay in the Longshot's cargo hold when they left the damaged Nemesis to pursue the Ark.
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen[]
After the AllSpark shard was retrieved by Ravage from NEST's secure bunker at Diego Garcia, Mixmaster was among the Constructicons who secreted themselves aboard the Bayos freighter heading towards the North Atlantic. Once the ship passed over the Laurentian Abyss, Ravage flew onto the ship, hiding beside Mixmaster while a sailor passed. Once they reached the specific site, the Decepticons jumped overboard and dove down to where Megatron's broken body lay. As they went down, Mixmaster rolled on the rocks like a ball whilst Scalpel ordered the death of 'ze litle one' to rebuild Megatron, a request that Mixmaster and the others obliged with by brutally ripping Scrapmetal apart. Soon, Megatron was reborn with the AllSpark Shard.
After Megatron killed Optimus Prime, Mixmaster climbed the Brooklyn Bridge and knocked down the American flag in a display of dominance.
Mixmaster and Scavenger ordered their team into a quarry that was close to the Great Pyramid of Giza, where Megatron ordered them to combine into Devastator with him forming the head. After having some fun with the Vortex Grinder and shrugging off the twins, he proceeded to climb up the pyramid. Using the Vortex Grinder again, they dug up the Star Harvester, but as if that weren't enough, they smashed some more bricks, until Seymour Simmons ordered a US Navy ship to fire its railgun, which cut Devastator in half. Mixmaster, being the neck and head, got torn in half, and died of Energon loss.
Some time later, Mixmaster was present in Egypt during Operation: Firestorm and fought against the NEST forces in the Egyptian town near the great ruins of the pyramids, after one of his shields was sent flying by a tank cannon after it got hit so hard by the projectile, Mixmaster battles back using his cannon emplacement mode to cause serious problems, until the ex-Decepticon Jetfire arrived to slice him in half and crush his torso, further popping his head out and killing him.
Dark of the Moon: the Game[]
Somehow, Mixmaster returned and he is trying to revive his Constructicon team.
Mixmaster was one of the Decepticons dispatched to intercept an evacuation led by Ratchet and a NEST convoy. He led an assault group which was able to destroy the convoy; however, the evacuation had already ended. Since his mission had failed, Mixmaster tried to console himself by killing Ratchet and was able to put him in a critical state before Ironhide arrived and helped him. then Mixmaster throws him into a wall and start fighting Ironhide, commanding waves of Decepticon drones after him. After Ironhide defeats all the Decepticons, Mixmaster comes down and tries to kill Ironhide himself but was ultimately outsmarted when the Autobot Weapon Specialist shoots the gears, causing Mixmaster to falls through the platform he was on and into the shaft. However, this wasn't enough and yells Ironhide angry, "Arg! I'll shred you to pieces Ironhide!!!" before he made his way out.
When Ironhide was searching for Mixmaster after defeating another group of Decepticons, Ratchet alerts that Mixmaster is close then Mixmaster punches into some cars, picks up Ironhide, and throws him, then, he proceeds to fight once again, however this time, Ironhide successfully blasts off all of Mixmaster's shields with his new and improved Heavy Iron Rifle. After the fight, Ironhide defeats and kills Mixmaster for good by shooting into his head, gangland execution-style.
