Scoutstinger is a Korean reissue of Beast Wars Autostinger, a redeco of Generation 2 Dirtbag. Scoutstinger transforms into a dump truck. He has a twin spring-loaded missile launcher in his right arm, and a clamping "stun gun" claw on the left. He has an auto-transforming gimmick activated by rolling his rear wheels; roll forward to go to robot mode, and back to dump truck. A switch on his back end separates the gears of the gimmick, allowing him to roll freely in either mode.

This mold was also intended to be used for "General Optimus Prime" in Generation 2, but that release was canceled.

Notes

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