That would be Scrounge, he transforms into a wheel.

Ah, Scrounge. I always hoped he would get an updated toy, is it confirmed he transforms into a wheel?
Sadly con exclusive.

Don't you mean "Computron" exclusive? He's the Legends partner for the CW Computron set, he attaches to Strafe.

Wait, what? How does a wheel attach? Does that mean we can use Cosmos?

Where this version of Computron falls short for me:
Nosecone and Lightyear altmodes
The lack of a new head/chest for Comp
The lack of new head sculpts for the individual bots.
The mish-mash colors of both individual figures and Comp.
Nice that Afterburner has some Orange, but for me there's too much red, black (or dark gray), and that green windshield is not good.
And I do stand corrected-- the new hands and feet do match the darker red of the torso/head.
I get if people like and want the Hasbro version, but for not that much more, I think there are a lot of improvements with the UW version that are well worth it.

Wolfman Jake wrote:TakaraTomy's Unite Warriors Computron is going to be my defacto Classics Computron, no doubt about it. However, I want Scrounge, and I think I can repurpose most of Hasbro's Technobot limbs as new "alternate" characters, much like how Alpha Bravo and Offroad warm the benches for the Aerialbots and Stunticons respectively. So too with the "jet" version of Blast Off from Hasbro, I'll keep him as a back-up member of the Combations from Unite Warriors Bruticus. I've got a working name of "Take Off" for the brown jet. I've got some similar monikers for the Technobot-ish members of Hasbro's Computron set:
Strafe -> Bombard
Lightspeed -> Warpspeed
Nosecone -> Screwdrive
Afterburner -> Reheat
I justify these on the basis that the molds are all different and have different heads(except for Afterburner, in which case only the heads are different between Hasbro and Takara), so, like with Hasbro's Blast Off, I could put them beside their more G1 inspired TakaraTomy versions and say with confidence that they are different characters with similar kinds of alt modes and/or color schemes, but obviously not the same individuals.

What are the new Trademarks we know so far? Scattershot seems to have been retained, but that's of little consequence, since I'm not planning on turning his Hasbro release(s) into any different characters, as he's pretty unmistakably Scattershot with that head sculpt (which Takara Tomy is using as well). For the rest, though, I'm quite intrigued to know what they'll be called.

Lightsteed and Afterbreaker. (Nosecone and Strafe kept their names; I was mistaken about 'most'.)

Those are pretty hilarious. LightSTEED? Seriously? I think I'll stick to my chosen names. Most of them are at least an attempt to chose something close to the original names' meanings.

Its fun, I dont think there is an inferior combiner, you both get good stuff for the money. I am choosing Takara though because each member and the combiner himself looks more like their own individual rather than being another toy in a different paint scheme.

The art shows that it will be, but that doesn't necessarily mean anything
