- Decepticon Reverb (Scout Class,
2008)
- Accessories: Quintuple-barreled Energon weapon cannon, Decepticon-style Energon star
- Known designers: Joe Kyde (deco artist)
- Part of the canceled[1] fifth wave of Target-exclusive 2007 movie series Scouts along with Backtrack and Gunbarrel, Decepticon Reverb is a redeco of the Energon Stormcloud/Blackout sculpt, transforming into an assault helicopter similar to an Apache. He could also have formed an leg or arm to any Energon-series "Powerlinx Combiner" super robot — though no super robot torsos actually came out during the original live-action movie toyline, and his packaging makes no mention of the toy's ability to combine.
- He includes a quintuple-barreled cannon that formed a hand or footplate for his non-advertised limb-modes, plus a Decepticon-style Energon star.
- Reverb's deco is based on Universe Cloudraker, as Joe Kyde was particularly pleased by Cloudraker's colors and wanted to reuse them on something bigger.[citation needed]
- Reverb's toy was first acknowledged on Hasbro's Transformers Action Figure Checklist.[2] In early 2010, about two years after the first samples had surfaced, considerable quantities of the three unreleased Scouts were sold on eBay. Each of them came packaged with two instruction sheets, one in English and one in Spanish, suggesting that the batch was initially intended for the Mexican market. However, based on information from Mexican fans, the toys never actually made it to retail there.
- This sculpt was also used to make the Transformers Collectors' Club exclusive Topspin and 2008 Universe Bruticus Maximus team members Vortex and Swindle, who double as Revenge of the Fallen Vortex and Swindle.
