Just bought Cybertron Hardtop and he's awesome! Everything fits perfectly! I don't like his too long weapon, but everything else is great I am just asking: Are there more awesome Cybertron toys from Scout Class? Cos I didn't saw in the Seibertrn Toy gallery other cool Scout class TFs.

The Cybertron Scout line was probably the best part of Cybertron. Keep an eye out, because Armorhide has also been reissued as part of the Movie Scout line, and he's pretty cool as well. Not as nicely proportioned as Hardtop, but still a nice little figure. Kinda like a modern day Minibot.

Would so love to see Hardtop re-coloured as G1 Ruckus.

Clocker is fun, though his weapon sucks really badly. He's been rereleased of course. Armorhide is a great mold, but I'm unimpressed by his movie repaint - just too dark I guess.

Overhaul is great for his Wolverine homage, but the range of motion in his arms is poor. Ransack is well articulated, but has trouble standing. I like Backstop but few others do. The dragster (Breaksown) is nothing to write home about.

Scrapmetal however is freakin awesome. Unfortunately, no movie repaints. And the two Spinosauruses (Undermine and Repugnus) are great IMO. Also no recent repaints though.

Agreed with you here Caelus, I love Backstop and Undermine/Repugnus (still need to find a Repugnus), but I also like Breakdown too. Overhaul I am not such a fan of, but he is not a bad figure.

Scattorshot does not have a repaint, but is Awesomesauce, and Shortround (who is being repainted as Stormsurge for the Movie line) are also well worth purchasing.

Stay away from Cybertron Lugnutz, and you really cannot do much wrong with Cybertron Scouts.

So who should be my next Scout Class figure?

Shortround. He has a nice unique design about him with great colours.

Shortround's arms are... Strange

Well, I love Lugnutz myself. One of my fave bikebots.

His transformation isn't bad for the class size. Bend back, flip arms and legs round in a 360 kinda thing, swivel back round, flip up head and fit back into gap.


I am really quite keen on him.

I had trouble tranforming LUGNUTZ...he has a WEIRD name.Anyhow were can you gind more Cybertron toys?

They have reissued some Cybertron scouts
to places like Family Dollar. They are 5 bucks
and are in Universe packaging.
Or ebay.

Yes, Lugnutz is a strange name for a motorbike. I'm impressed from the Movie Hardtop - You know, Cybertron Hardtop repaint. I wish I had the Movie one

Well Shortound is getting re-released in the Movie line as Stormsurge.

My vote is for Armourhide (if you have not already got him.) Scrapmetal and Scattorshot are also high on my list.

Doh! I acan't believe I forgot them. Though Basic Scattorshot became less memorable after his Voyager Class incarnation came out. And his lack of traditional knees, and low slung backpack were sort of negative points. Shortround is... different. Worth a few bucks I suppose.

I'd say that, Hightail at least, looks pretty good alongside Alternators.

I personally prefer the repant of Hardtop, Swindle, because the mold looks so much better in yellow.

Movie Hardtop is so cool (I wish I had him)

Overhaul/Brushguard is pretty cool, despite the weirdish arms. Overhaul makes for a decent Brawn stand-in, especially in vehicle mode.

Overhaul... I almost forgot him! He's cool :GRIN:
