Scoutlauncher is a Korean reissue of Beast Wars Autolauncher. He transforms into an armored personnel carrier. He has a disc-launcher in his front end/robot chest that is activated by the front wheels, with a switch to allow him to roll without firing. He also has a small hand-held spring-loaded missile launcher that stores in his trunk. Like Scoutjet, he has a three-setting switch that changes how the toy reacts to being rolled on a smooth surface. In the center setting, it rolls free in whichever mode it’s in. The other two activate the toy’s auto-transforming gimmick; with the switch to the left, the toy transforms from robot to APC when rolled forward (and back when rolled in reverse), while the right position transforms him from APC to robot when rolled forward (and back when in reverse).

Scoutlauncher was only available in a "Scoutforce" multipack with Scoutslasher, Scoutjet, and Scoutstinger.

Notes

• While Scoutlauncher comes in an Autobot-labeled box, he retains all of his Predacon insignia.
