Cybertron Scattorshot

Series: Cybertron
Allegiance: Autobot
Categories: Scout
Year: 2005

Possibly the most neurotic Autobot ever created, Scattorshot always gets the job done. As the right hand bot to Jetfire in protecting Earth, he worries so much about messing up in front of his legendary commander that he sets a nearly impossible standard for himself. Despite his clumsiness, he somehow never seems to fail, but his good luck just serves as proof to him that somewhere in the universe is a huge store of bad karma just waiting for the right moment to come crashing down on him.

Robot Mode: A basic-sized robot, Scattorshot has somewhat below-average posability, but his looks are okay. He is quite heavily armed for such a small robot, carrying a handgun (finally!) and able to deploy his back missiles over his shoulders. Using his cyber key he can additionally flip open a missile launcher. All in all a decent, if unremarkable robot.

Alternate Mode: Transforming into a small tank, Scattorshot gives a decent performance here as well. The vehicle is nothing special, but looks like what it's supposed to. Just like with the robot he can deploy his missile launcher gimmick in this mode.

Remarks: Scattorshot is one of the less remarkable characters from Cybertron, though he did receive an upgrade later in the series, making him even more of a weapons-packrat than he already is. I got the toy as a bonus with some others, which is the sole reason I got it. Mildly recommended for Cybertron completists.
