Yes, the camo MASER tank is a common construction vehicle.

Signal Flare has taken a different tactic to protecting Earth from the Decepticons. Eschewing combat, he prefers to hide among the humans and secretly help build their structures to withstand damage from Decepticon weaponry. He also remains vigilant in watching out for any Decepticon activity on Earth, quickly transmitting details to the Autobot high command.

Toys

Transformers (2007)

• Signal Flare (Scout, 2007)

Signal Flare transforms into a Cybertronic half-track MASER tank. Moving the MASER arm causes the dish on the end to spin. The dish can be combined with a pair of shields to form a buzzsaw weapon.

Signal Flare (and the rest of the Scout wave) are exclusive to Target stores, where they are all part of a Robo-Vision promotion. Signal Flare comes with a Robo-Vision Decoder which allows you to see the Robo-Vision Code printed on his cardback. Starting June 2, 2007, Target's website is supposed to allow users to input those codes to access exclusive content, though that feature does not appear to be active at the time of this article's most recent update.

The mold is also used by Energon Offshoot. The Signal Flare body design is used as the model for the Attacktix Omnicon.

Trivia

• Signal Flare's bio pegs him as an Autobot, where his toy's only "faction" marking is for Sector 7. It's possible Flare is hiding out among the Sector 7 motor pool disguised as one of their uh... MASER tanks used for... doing... construction. Uh... yeah.
