Since we had yet to see the boxart of this Dirt Boss repaint, there was no official name for this figure. Now we do have a name, and the scout goes by the name 'Deadlift'. The resemblance to an old Gobot Character is clear identification that this repaint is a homage of Gobot Spoons. Youtuber Peaugh has acquired the orange repaint, and reviews the Scout Class figure. He goes over articulation, transformation, and compares the figure to the original Dirt Boss. You can check out the review on Youtube, or directly on this embed news post.
Resemblances include the MR-34 logo, similar alternate mode, and the orange paint!

Looks way better than the original. Hasbro's doing a great job with the repaints lately, I have to say. Wasn't planning on getting this guy because I mostly collect G1 homages, but if I have to get Deadlift to get Beachcomber, I don't mind.
