	::McFeely had to explain this to me a while back. The word "scrum" is a term used in Rugby to describe a group of people joining in close to form a wall. It's where the football term "line of scrimmage" comes from. "Scrum" is used all the time in Masumi Kaneda-written Transformers stories, including FSRL #3 (Robo Combination Scrumbuster) and 2010 #2 (Scrum formation). "Scrum" is an obscure word, yeah, but it makes sense. Additionally, "Scramble Power" or a shorthand version of the term wouldn't really make sense, anyway. "Scramble" isn't used as a synonym for "combination" in Japan, but to describe certain types of combiners who can swap their limbs and doesn't apply to these guys, who are just moving in tightly in a ''scrum'' and shooting lasers out of their asses. --[[User:DrSpengler\|DrSpengler]] 22:27, 11 December 2009 (EST)		::McFeely had to explain this to me a while back.

			::::Well, even if they could, I don't think it would apply to this attack since it doesn't involve limb swapping in any way. Plus, it remains consistent with Kaneda's previous use of the "scrum" term in earlier issues of the manga. --[[User:DrSpengler\|DrSpengler]] 23:33, 11 December 2009 (EST)
