Grapple and Hoist seem to come close to being Constructicons too.
Also, the RotF comics seem to imply that Constructicons were rather common during the time of the first Primes - after all, they're the ones who did the actual building of Sun Harvesters. The more modern 'Structies just seem to descendants of the general type.
True. I should probably have been a bit more specific? I was thinking that the G1 Constructicons would begin by building and/or recruiting new Constructicons and then start "infecting" other Decepticons. Thus, mechs who used to be perfectly normal (as far as Decepticons go, anyway) would start turning purple and green and answering to Scrapper. I didn't really have a motive for the Constructicons though, so I thought I'd offer the bunny here.
Does that make sense? I don't think I'm wording it well.
No, I figured you meant G1 - just mentioning the RotF detail.
If I recall things I've read, there's at least two more unrecorded Constructicons in G1 - probably animation errors and messed up backstory, but maybe the current 'Structies were a part of a larger group, or even a racial type (like in movieverse) and miss having more Constructicons around - therein being their reasoning for why they start building and/or converting mechs as new 'Structies.
