Description:
Cybertron Defense Scattorshot (Voyager, 2005/2006)

Known designers: Eric Siebenaler (Hasbro)
Cybertron Defense Scattorshot transforms into a multiple-launch rocket system which kinda resembles a TOS-1 Buratino (but not enough to be one). The halves of the (non-firing) launcher end up on his arms in robot mode. In either mode, inserting a Cyber Key in each half reveals a new weapon: the right side has a slide-out double spring-loaded missile launcher which ends up on his left robot arm, while the left has a flip-out non-firing blaster barrel which ends up on his right robot arm. Both key-activated weapons feature fake handles which end up being "held” by his hands in robot mode, although the missile launcher on his right arm needs to be slid forward for him to be able to reach the deployed blaster’s handle. He also comes with an extra long blue hand-held rifle that can be mounted in tank mode thanks to his Mini-Con-compatible Powerlinx plugs. Thanks to some clever engineering, the launcher turret is capable of full 360 degree rotation despite splitting in half.
Takara’s Galaxy Force "Backgild” release has slightly different/additional paint operations on his robot mode chest, the top, sides and front of the launcher and on the handle of the (non-opening) hatch door in vehicle mode. The barrel of the flip-out launcher cannon is painted in ocher whereas the Hasbro version’s barrel retains its gray base plastic color (both versions have the tip of the barrel molded in ocher plastic), the Takara version’s treads are painted in glossy instead of flat black, with the front half of the treads painted from both sides (the Hasbro version has the ocher base color show on the inside), and the Cybertron Defense/Vanguard Team symbol tampograph is smaller and in a different position on the launcher. Scattorshot’s Cyber Key also has a Cyber Key Code tampographed on its back.
This sculpt was later redecoed into Universe Dropshot and Overload, and was given a new head sculpt to make Timelines Flak.
