Fiction

IDW Aligned comics

Missing an arm, Scrounge went before Iacon's acting commander Snarl to present his side of an incident involving a gasket that may or may not have been several microns different from an ordinary one. His testimony was interrupted first by Snarl's impatience and then by a cataclysmic planetwide restructuring event. Like many of the other damaged Cybertronian survivors, he was apparently made whole again by the planet's reformatting...which did nothing to prevent his destruction under a pile of rubble.

Notes

• Scrounge's missing arm is, of course, a reference to his Generation 1 predecessor's "special arm" and its destruction at the hand of Straxus.
• Scrounge has an Autobot symbol, which is extremely uncharacteristic of a character design new to the Beast Hunters comic.
• The Transformers: The Ultimate Pop-Up Universe design (top) takes influences from the Animated Scrounge model in addition to the original Scrounge.
• A Transformers Universe model was created for Scrounge (right) by Jay Howse. It isn't known to have been used in the game before it was shut down.
