Scoop (SG)


 * Scoop is an evil Autobot from the "Shattered Glass" universe.

Scoop was an absolute mess. Constantly shaking in fear, holding his fingers nervously in front of his quaking optics, he wasn't be doing his fellow Autobots a favors on or off the battlefield. His partner, Holepunch, tried to keep him from being a total wreck, but Scoop just didn't have it all together, from his creation to his death at the hands of the Old One.

He transformed into a green wheeled front loader with a rear-mounted pile driver.

Shattered Glass
As part of his plan to prevent the Decepticons from following the Autobots into space, Ricochet gathered Scoop and Crosshairs and gave them each a partner. When Scoop thought that an army had invaded their secret base, he lost his wits. Ricochet ordered Scoop and Crosshairs to check it out. Scoop was left to inspect a dark tunnel, and Whisper tormented the cowardly Autobot by pretending to be the ghost of Boltax. But once Scoop's partner Holepunch revealed the ruse, he went berserk in rage, inadvertently bringing down the ceiling on the Autobot and his partner.

Later, after the Autobots returned to the Ark launch site in defeat, having missed the launch, Optimus Prime ordered Scoop to take Ricochet and Crosshairs to the Agonizing Rehabilitation Chambers. Optimus knew that Scoop's loyalty was tied directly into how scared he was of the Autobot leader, and Scoop was very scared.

 * Grindcore (Deluxe Class, 2008)
 * Accessories: Launcher, missile, Autobot Cybertron-type Cyber Planet Key


 * A Walmart exclusive, Grindcore is a redeco of Cybertron Landmine, transforming into a green wheeled front loader with a rear-mounted pile driver. His bucket shovel can be raised up and down, while his gimmick is unusual in that the Cyber Planet Key slot is in his rear wheels. To configure him into attack mode, one flips up the rear wheels (there are smaller wheels to support the rear end of the vehicle to compensate), inserts the Cyber Key into the wheel-hub slots, and twists, deploying blades around the circumference of each tire.


 * This mold was also used to make BotCon 2006's Dawn of Future's Past Rhinox.
