Scissor Boy
- Scissor Boy is an Insectron from the Beast Wars II portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
Scissor Boy (シザーボーイ Shisā Bōi) is the youngest member of the Insectrons, a group of Maximals who fled Cybertron to search for peace and isolation in the far reaches of the universe. He's good friends with another Maximal youth, Tasmania Kid, though the two are almost complete opposites. Where Kid is always looking for trouble, Scissor Boy just wants to chill. Where Kid is impatient and foolhardy, Scissor Boy is careful and considerate. Where Kid is vibrant and interesting, Scissor Boy is... not. He's just not.
Perhaps that's why he hangs out with Kid so much. While Scissor Boy could never morally justify initiating a rip-roaring adventure due to his own pacifist philosophies, if Kid just happens to drag him into another hair-brained scheme then it certainly isn't his fault, right? Right?

Scissor Boy's job was to come up with plans for Maximal generals to use in military situations. Unfortunately, his speech mannerisms made him come across as some sort of insincere salesman, rather than a combat consultant. Beast Wars Sourcebook
