Scrapmetal

Scrapmetal is a Terrorcon from the Cybertron portion of the Unicron Trilogy.

Now, was that civilized? No, clearly not. FUN, yes, but by no means CIVILIZED.

Scrapmetal is an abberation among his own kind, a mutant among mutants. Though he is physcially identical to his kin, of the thousands of near-mindless Scrapmetal drones that have chewed their way up from Cybertron's depths, this Scrapmetal is the only one to have developed intelligence. This only makes the swarm more dangerous.

Scrapmetal is just intelligent enough to be considered sentient, able to formulate simple plans and lead the swarm to specific targets. In theory he could be reasoned with, but good luck. All he wants is to feed and grow in power, and will stomp, blast, gouge and devour anything in his way to obtain it.

Japanese name: Rumble

Trivia

• According to the expanded Bio unlocked with his Cyber-Planet Key, Scrapmetal (or perhaps, just the Drones) has some variety of connection with the original Insecticons. The exact nature of their relationship is unrevealed however.

Toys

Cybertron

• Scrapmetal (Scout class, 2005)

Japanese ID number: GD-13

Scrapmetal transforms into a four-legged "spider tank" with top-mounted cannon. Inserting a Cyber Planet Key into the back end of the turret swings a removable clear-plastic sawblade-sword from the main chamber of the cannon. He comes with a Decepticon-insignia Cyberton-style Cyber Planet Key.

In Japan, three different colors of Scrapmetal were made available; red, blue and yellow, produced in equal numbers. For the Hasbro Cybertron line, first only the red version was available, with a few minor paint application changes, and the yellow version was later made available. This version can represent either the mindless drone or Scrapmetal himself. The Hasbro release also has the Key Code sf2x printed on the back of his Key.

A slight retool and redeco of the toy is used for the Cobybot.
