Fiction
Toy packaging
Power Up and Zoom Out 25X have teamed up to form the self-designated "Brain Scrambler Team" and screw with human children for kicks. Zoom Out manufactures embarrassing or incriminating videos for parents to find while Power Up scrambles the poor kid's brains so they can't defend themselves. This accomplishes nothing for the Decepticon cause really, but is good dickish fun for these two.
Toys
Transformers (2007)
- Power Up VT6 (Real Gear Robots, 2007)
- Takara ID number: MD-06
- Part of the first wave of Transformers Real Gear Robots, Power Up VT6 transforms into a (non-functional) hand-held video game system. Although there is no real-life equivalent model, he does bear a strong resemblance to the Wonderswan. Like all Real Gear Robots toys, his robot mode is apparently at 1:1 scale.
- There is a notable variation between the Hasbro and Takara releases for this toy. In the Hasbro version, his screen, interestingly enough, shows Cybertron Jetfire as a video-game character, as the Real Gear Robots were originally designed for release in the Cybertron line. The Takara version, on the other hand, has a sticker showing movie-characters Barricade and Optimus Prime in a one-on-one beat-em-up style game. (Barricade appears to be winning.)
- This mold was also used to make Hacker X-3.
- Brain Scrambler Team (Multi-pack, 2007)
- Power Up VT6 was also available in a Walmart exclusive two-pack with Zoom Out 25X. Bot toys are identical to their individual releases.
