When the Autobots need drones to do the dirty work, they bring in the Scrounges. These silver drones possess a curved, smooth structure due to their "war wheel" alternate mode. They are programmed with slave drives to keep them loyal to their programmer. They would be harmless, save for the large cannons that make up their left arms.

Scrounges are powerful in numbers, and they are easily expendable. Their simple obedient personality makes them perfect whipping boys for Blaster, their current master.

Fiction

Shattered Glass

To keep Blaster out of the way while the Autobots were preparing the Ark for launch, he was given a group of Scrounges to boss around like a drill sergeant. Later when the Ark was engaged in battle with the Nemesis, Blaster suggested sending out the Scrounges. This would have ended in the Scrounges' destruction, but Blaster didn't care, failing to see their usefulness. Goldbug didn't think that was a good idea. Do Over

When Rodimus came up with a plan to hold Earth hostage for ransom by hijacking one of the humans' military bases to gain control of the planet's destructive defense satellites, Blaster thought they could simply send in the Scrounges as their plan of attack. But Rodimus decided to go for a more standard infiltration attempt instead, and ordered Blaster to lead a diversion. Blaster headed up a squad of Autobots and Scrounges to attack the base from the outside, while Rodimus, other Autobots, and their human allies attacked the base from the inside by letting themselves get "arrested".

Later, as the Decepticons made an assault to liberate the base, Blaster's squad of Scrounges attempted to keep Heatwave from reaching the satellite's controller system, but Soundwave pitched in and disabled them with the power of rock. Eye in the Sky
