Looking at the Super Scrambles image, I don't see anything specifically naming the Autobot Super Scramble combiner, so I'm not sure how it merits a separate, named-character page when the Decepticon Super Scramble combiner doesn't. Of course, now someone's going to point out to me the obvious image with its name clearly visible...--Apcog 15:51, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

Comperion uses Lightspeed as a leg, while Autobot Super Scramble uses Nosecone. The two Decepticon guys have slightly different loadouts as well. --FFN 16:44, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
All right, so where was "Comperion" named that he merits a separate page?--Apcog 17:01, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
Both the names "Comperion" and "Abomenaticus" appeared on a poster[1]from the campaign in Japan during 1987. --TX55 17:25 , 6 December 2007 (UTC)
  1. The good news is I remember I saw it for sure. While the bad news is I can't find it. Argghhh.
I'm... confused? The Decepticon Super Scramble does have its own page.
I'm not entirely sure that Comperion and Abomenaticus (sp) have been named in any recent books or anything; after TX55 put the pages up, I found mentions of them via Google on the Japanese wikipedia page for Scramble City combiners and on that "Steel Age" guy's page about the history of Scramble City combiners which also included the hand-built Scramble 7. The names cropped up on a few other pages, too, but nothing as concrete... if we want better confirmations on 'em than that, somebody would have to ask Fumihiko or Ichikawa, I think. --Monzo 17:20, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
Yes, the Decepticon Super Scramble has its own page—as a descriptor for an otherwise unnamed character. So does the Autobot Super Scramble. There is ALSO this page for Comperion, a named version of an Autobot Super Scramble, but no equivalent for the Decepticons. I'm not sure if the concept merits this many pages, really. If "Super Scramble" is simply a combination concept, then the Autobot and Decepticon pages can be...er, combined, with either sub-sections or links for the named Super Scramble robots.
It'd be nice to have more official visible confirmation on these things. I can Google 'em myself, but if you have the links handy, Monzo, it'd be appreciated. (Be nice if FFN could find that poster, too, but what the heck.)

Oh—and I suspect the named Decepticon Super Scramble would be spelled "Abominaticus".--Apcog 18:05, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
