Scoutstinger is a Korean reissue of Beast Wars Autostinger, a redeco of Generation 2 Dirtbag. Scoutstinger transforms into a Terex 33-07 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.

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

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 retains all of his Predacon insignia.
