Rebuilt from the remains of a deactivated [[Scrapmetal (race)|Scrapmetal]], the '''Cobybot''' allows [[human]] [[Coby Hansen]] to finally join his [[Autobot]] friends on the battlefield. Retrofitted to allow a human pilot to control it and armed with a variety of (non-lethal) weapons and gadgets, the Cobybot is a shining example of Coby's mechanical genius.

His brother [[Bud Hansen|Bud]] and friend [[Lori]] both want one too.

===''Cybertron'' cartoon===
After getting his hands on a deactivated Scrapmetal chassis, Coby set to work retrofitting it, to keep from getting too depressed over his brother [[Bud Hansen|Bud]] having gone missing. He loaded it onto the colony-ship ''[[Ogygia (Cybertron)|Ogygia]]'' as the Autobots prepared to make their way to the alternate universe where [[Gigantion]] was transported to. {{storylink|Warp}}

When the Autobots discovered where the ''[[Atlantis]]'' ship had crashed, Coby infiltrated the ship in his new Cobybot, locating Bud, [[Jolt (Cybertron)|Jolt]] and [[Reverb (Cybertron)|Reverb]], returning them to safety. Back at the ship, Coby showed off his work, even converting it to robot mode. Optimus Prime approved, and gave the machine an Autobot sigil as well.

Later, when Jolt was kidnapped by the [[Decepticon|Decepticons]] [[Ransack (Cybertron)|Ransack]] and [[Crumplezone (Cybertron)|Crumplezone]], Coby took the Cobybot out to get the Mini-Con back. He threw a ball full of [[Quickmix (Cybertron)|Quickmix's]] special instant-dry cement at their feet, giving Prime the chance to knock the Decepticons for a loop (after they'd thrown away their captive). {{storylink|City}}
it appeared for the last time in vehicle mode when coby and lori were thinking and looking at the stars.end

: A [[Retool|retooling]] (sort of, see below) and partial [[redeco]] of the [[Scrapmetal (race)|Scrapmetal]] toy with a new head, the Coby Sen'yō Rumble transforms into a four-legged walking tank. In either mode, plugging a [[Cyber Planet Key]] into the back of its boom-crane cannon causes a removable clear-plastic blade to flip out into attack mode. The Rumble's fists can be covered with its tank-mode walking spikes, or flat-ended "pile drivers".

: The Coby Sen'yō Rumble was ''normally'' only available as part of the "Sonic Convoy" gift set, a Japanese Toys 'R' Us [[exclusive]], with [[redeco]]s of [[Optimus Prime (Armada)/toys|Optimus Prime]] and [[Wing Saber (Energon)|Wing Saber]]. It also came—appropriately enough—with a silver-bordered [[Earth]]-style Cyber Planet Key. None of the toys in this set came with [[bio]]/[[Tech Spec]] cards.

: For [[BotCon 2006]], attendees of the bonus "painting workshop" received two sets of unpainted, unassembled red Scrapmetal (to be made into ''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]'' versions of [[Rumble (G1)|Rumble]] and [[Inferno (BW)|Inferno]]). These sets included the parts to the Coby version, which are part of the mold-sprues of ''every'' Scrapmetal toy. However, the clear-plastic colors are different from the Coby Sen'yō Rumble proper, using the normal clear-red rather than clear-bright-green.

==Notes==
* The head sculpt used for the Cobybot was the original vision designed for the Scrapmetal toy. [[Hasbro]] felt the sculpt ultimately looked too heroic, and redesigned it to the more bug-like form of the final product. However, since [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] had already put work into the sculpt, they decided to use it for the exclusive.
