Although not as rare as the figures from the last batch of galleries added to the site, the Toy Gallery section has been updated with galleries of three scouts from Transformers Cybertron. Released towards the end of the toy line, each figure is fairly unique, the most obvious homage being to War Within Kup, from Breakdown GTS. To view each gallery use these links:

Breakdown GTS

Scrapmetal (yellow)

Hightail

Super cool stuff here Ryan! Scrapmetal and Kup there are two of my favorites even now. Strangely enough I never bothered with Kup till he was $3, but when I got him he was really cool. I'd recommend him to newer fans for sure.

BTW, got Reverb today, thanks a ton Ryan!

Great Galleries! I still have to find a yellow Scrapmetal. Come to think of it i'm not sure where my Galaxy Force Ramble is either. Must have them all!

Excellent, I've been waiting for a gallery of Brakedown GTS!

Great Galleries.

Never really felt the Scrapmetal mold was all that fantastic.

And while the GTS repaint of Breakdown is nice as a Kup homage. I never bothered to pick it up. Owning Breakdown was enough at the time.

Hightail and Lungnutz for that matter, just scream: WhY mY ShOuLdErS hUrT?
"Well because you have a motorcycle strapped onto them."
Never liked that mold. The bike is good, but the robot just suffers.

I'm surprised Lungnutz was never used for a Wreck-Gar homage.

If Hasbro did it, they'd finally get my $8 I didn't think the mold was worth the first few times around.

I saw a Breakdown GTS in a beat up package (the original, sealed) on a Wal-Mart peg this past Christmas time (or thereabout). Where the heck it came from, I have no idea, lol.

You know, I've always felt the opposite from you on the Scrapmetal topic. He always looked much better before I got to fiddle with it, and then it lost its interest value pretty quick. I liked the idea, like the drone idea or however it was protrayed in the show, and figure is neat by all accounts, except it just bored me quickly.

Red Scrapmetal is my Cybertron Rumble. I like him, especially in the spaceship fanmode. Kinda works as a minion of Soundwave that way.

Hur, actually I just realized all the original Lugnutz needs is some autobot symbols and he's good. Sold!

DROOOL. If Brakedown GTS wasn't already on my want list, he would be now! I had no idea just how close the colors are. It's amazing.

I didn't realize how much an homage he was either until I took those pics yesterday. Even the placement of the yellow is pretty damn close to the original. Nice homage!
