'''Scrapface''' is just another Decepticon foot soldier who is itching to fight the [[Autobot]]s on the frontlines.<ref name="walmart">[https://www.walmart.com/ip/Transformers-Generations-War-for-Cybertron-Series-Inspired-Scrapface/695839517 Walmart USA product description for Scrapface]</ref> Unfortunately, many other Decepticons see him as easy pickings, or worse, an expendable source for some quick [[energon]], something completely instigated by [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]]'s dark deceptions.

This turn of events has left poor 'ol Scrapface to question who his true enemies are, and his disgust for the treatment of low-level Decepticons leads to his respect for those who treat them with any decency, which surprisingly includes Autobot major [[Elita One (G1)|Elita-1]].

He was also presumably at the back of the line on naming day.

Scrapface was among the many Decepticons imprisoned by [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]]'s forces. Selected by a pair of [[Seeker (body-type)|Seekers]] to be moved to "the arena", Scrapface pleaded that he was not supposed to go there because he was a loyal Decepticon. The pair was quickly shot dead by a team of Autobots led by [[Elita One (G1)|Elita-1]], who implored Scrapface and the other Decepticons to escape. {{Storylink|Earthrise episode 1}}

Following the Autobots' capture, Scrapface led the freed Decepticons to rescue them, feeling like he owed them for saving his life. They all escaped the arena and formed an alliance between the Autobots and renegade Decepticons to save their fellow Cybertronians from the mercy of [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] and Shockwave. {{storylink|Earthrise episode 2}}

Scrapface accompanied the Autobot rebels to their base and complained of his lack of energon. The group was forced to take cover when a Seeker patrol flew over. Scrapface was concerned that they still hunted them, but Elita simply told him they would never stop, and they would just get used to it. When they had to take cover again, Scrapface advocated attacking the seekers hunting them. His stand gave away the team's position, forcing them to destroy all the seekers before they could report back to Shockwave. Scrapface was then warned by Elita that if he wished to stay with them, he would have to obey orders. Arriving at the theatre, Scrapface was amazed at the care the Decepticons received. Later, Scrapface bore witness to Shockwave's planet-wide broadcast, ordering all Decepticons to journey to Kaon arena. Knowing that the mad scientist's true plan was to drain his own factional allies of energon, Scrapface strengthened his allegiance to the resistance, promising to work to bring down Shockwave once and for all. {{storylink|Earthrise episode 3}}

Scrapface accompanied his allies on their mission to Kaon Arena, waiting outside while Elita-1 traveled into the arena to plant the explosives. They soon learned Megatron was no longer on Cybertron, and Scrapface and the rest of the team are attacked by Decepticons serving Shockwave, complete with their own cloaking devices. Scrapface and the rest of the team are captured, and Spinister opted to take them to the arena and bring them before Shockwave for harvest. Scrapface tried to warn Spinister that they had set explosives, but the Decepticon remained unaware that they are on a timer, believing there was nobody to activate them. The team is suddenly saved by the thought-to-be-dead Chromia, who attacked the Decepticons at a distance, and Skytread, though he was shot dead anyway. Scrapface, alongside the rest of the team, ran for Kaon Arena, only for the explosives to suddenly go off, destroying the entire area and killing them all. {{storylink|Earthrise episode 6}}

When the [[AllSpark]] was returned to the [[Temple of the Allspark]] on Cybertron by [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]], Scrapface (or a [[Reflector (G1)|Refraktor]]) was among the Transformers spirits who witnessed Elita-1 strike down [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]] and [[Nemesis Prime (G1)|Nemesis Prime]] before finally reuniting with the Allspark. {{storylink|Kingdom episode 6}}

*'''Scrapface''' (Deluxe Class, [[2020]])
**''TakaraTomy ID number:'' '''WFC-05'''
**''TakaraTomy release date'': [[November 28]], 2020
**''Accessories:'' blaster/tripod part, shield/lens part, chest module

:Part of the first assortment of toys promoting the ''Siege'' season of the [[Netflix]] [[Transformers: War for Cybertron Trilogy (cartoon)|''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' cartoon]], Scrapface is a blue and red redeco of ''[[War for Cybertron: Siege|Siege]]'' [[Reflector (G1)#War for Cybertron: Siege|Refraktor]], transforming into a Cybertronian "artillery hovercraft".<ref name=seibertron>https://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/siege-red-alert-revealed-stock-photos-for-nycc-siege-figures-design-notes-from-warden-nycc/42180/</ref> Scrapface is molded almost entirely in shades of grey plastic with his splashes of colour being an extensive paint wash; this gives him the appearance of being covered in accumulated grime and battle scars, though it leaves most of his lower-legs and backside a show-inaccurate grey. He has multiple [[5 mm post|5 mm ports]] and 3 mm posts to accommodate weaponry and [[Fire Blast effect|"Fire Blast"]] effects, as part of the [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]]. Scrapface includes a blaster and shield that can be attached in multiple ways thanks to a pair of perpendicular 5 mm posts.

:As with any version of this mold, Scrapface, although undocumented in the instructions, can also transform into one-third of a camera, allowing buyers to combine three units into Reflector's classic camera mode ([[Shortpacking|good luck with getting three, though!]]). The shield becomes one-third of a telephoto lens, while his blaster becomes one-third of a tripod. The chest module can also inaccurately attach to his torso in robot mode or camera mode, or store on his butt.

:The military insignia on Scrapface's box has him as a [[Cybertronian military insignia|Ground Force Infantry Raider]], while his instructions place him in the Espionage unit like his Refraktor mold-mates. A similar mix-up error was present in the concurrent Voyager Class [[Hotlink (G1)#War for Cybertron Trilogy|Hotlink]] instructions and box.

:Stock renders have more [[show-accuracy|show-accurate]] blue lower legs, face scratches, and chest battle damage, suggesting a late change on the final toy.

:This toy, like all of the Netflix ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (toyline)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]'' toys, is a [[Walmart]] exclusive in the U.S. and Canada, and a [[TakaraTomy]] Mall exclusive in Japan.

:Scrapface was [[Repurposing|repurposed]] as an [[Angolmois Energy|Angolmois]]-corrupted form of [[Reflector (G1)#Generations Selects Special Comic|Reflector]] in ''[[Generations Selects Special Comic]]''.

==Notes==
*According to the toy's product description on Walmart's USA website, Scrapface is a [[Cloning|clone]] of [[Reflector (G1)|Refraktor]],<ref name="walmart" /> justifying why the two share a body-type.
*Despite debuting in the ''Siege''-adjacent ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' wave of toys, Scrapface did not appear until the ''Earthrise'' chapter of the cartoon.
*The character in the cartoon uses none of the toy's accessories, opting for the "HPI [[Null-ray|Null-Ray]] Laser Launcher" as his sole weapon.
