Title:
Scrapmetal Yellow
Description:
Scrapmetal (Scout class, 2005)
Takara ID number: GD-13
Takara release date: July 28, 2005
Accessories: Blade, Cybertron Decepticon Cyber Key
Cyber Key Code: sf2x
Part of the "Scout"-class price-point, Scrapmetal transforms into a four-legged "spider tank” with a rear-mounted cannon. Inserting a Cyber Planet Key into the back end of the cannon releases a spring-loaded, clear-plastic sawblade-sword from the main chamber of the cannon. This blade can be removed from the assembly and hand-held thanks to its 5 mm post base (indented to prevent it from being placed back into the cannon incorrectly). In robot mode, Scrapmetal’s fists can be covered with the tank-mode spikes, or with immobile "pile drivers”. The crane-arm can be oriented on either shoulder thanks to the 360-degree swivel of the "shoulderpads” assembly; the default position is on its right shoulder.
In Japan, three different colors of "Ramble"were made available; red, blue and yellow, produced in equal numbers. For the Hasbro Cybertron line, Hasbro first released the red "Scrapmetal” in the sixth wave of Scout-class toys, which can represent either one of the countless mindless drones, or the single semi-sentient "Scrapmetal” described in the toy’s cardback bio. This version has numerous slight deco differences from the Takara red version: most immediately noticeable is the Cyber Key Code printed on the back of its Cyber Key, but it is also missing the red paint on its head and the backs of its arms, most of its red paint detailing is darker, the gray plastic is a metallic gunmetal rather than the Takara version’s semi-matte off-gray, while all of the rest of its plastic is just slightly different, being slightly darker and having a more noticeable metal-flake sheen to the dark-gray plastics.
A slight retool and redeco of the toy was used to make the Coby Sen’yō Rumble. For BotCon 2006, attendees who signed up for the custom-painting class received unpainted, unassembled red Scrapmetal, with their parts still on the manufacturing sprues (including the Coby head), to be made into Universe incarnations of Rumble and Inferno.
