[edit]When the Resistance launched an invasion of Kaon, Shortround used his influence with the local Micromasters to get patrols assigned to the Museum. Upon discovering Packrat stealing the sky-sled, he sicced Vorter on the thief, though Shortround was less than happy about Vorter's trigger-happy approach to handling the thief.

[edit]- Shortround (Scout-class, 2006)
- Accessories: Blaster, Earth Planet Key
The Cybertron Shortround toy doubles as the Beast Wars: Uprising character Shortround.
- Shortround was exclusive to the Hasbro Cybertron line, transforming into a troop-carrying military hovercraft. Inserting a Cyber Key into his key jack swings a pair of (non-firing) torpedo racks up into firing position from his rear turbines. This gimmick is available in both vehicle and robot modes. His stock photography is mistransformed: the blue parts of his lower forearms are supposed to slide back, giving him clamps evocative of a lobster's claws. His extra blaster can plug into a squared peg-hole on the side of either lower clamp in robot mode, or into another hole atop his hovercraft mode.
- This toy doubles as the Beast Wars: Uprising character Shortround. This mold was redecoed to make live-action movie Storm Surge (which was later repurposed as Shattered Glass Seaspray and re-released as Universe Storm Surge) and the unreleased 2010 Transformers line Undertow. This mold also served as the basis of the non-toy "Theft of the Golden Disk" version of Beast Wars Scorponok.
