No, it's pretty clearly mean to be "scrum", as in the rugby huddle. "Scram" makes no sense |

Notes
[edit]- Viz Media's official translation of the Fight! Super Robot Lifeform manga renders the Four-Wheel Drive Corps's team attack as the "Scrambuster", perhaps in analogy to "Scramble Power". However, this doesn't match the visuals of the team's members in a scrum formation (or at least something resembling one), the very common meaning of the original Japanese sukuramu (スクラム).
