Scrapmetal

Cybertron Scrapmetal is a cool little toy. I love hoe the blade can be detached and held in it's hand, and the pile driver arms.

It would be perfect if the head was on a ball joint and the hands could rotate.

A detachable cannon would be kickass too.

I just sold all three of my GF Rambles (red, yellow and blue), I kept this guy tho. It's a great little figure.

Yup, this was my 'blue one' (gallery shot by me) until I sold it last month. Great figure but I only really need the one and I prefer Coby Ramble to all three 'con versions.

I sold my Blue one on Ebay for £25 plus postage. Red went for £10, yellow for £6. Not bad considering I paid £25 for all three at AA'06. :grin:

thanks.... i guess the blue one would be about 50$ u.s :cry: .... now i dont want to know how much the cody one would cost :? .... im pretty sure it would just as much or even more than the blue one. that one is the best looking one out of the scrapmetals.

Coby Ramble would definately cost you more. He was only released as part of an exclusive Japanese Sonic Convoy Boxset. He came packaged with a partly Transparent Galaxy Convoy(Cyb Prime), and a Sonic Bomber(Cyb Wingsaber) with red chrome rather than gold. I never owned the set myself I bought Coby Ramble off a guy who had two boxsets (thanks Doughbot), I did shoot a gallery of the set but the pictures we lost when my PC broke down (sorry Doughbot). However if you want to buy the set you probably wont get it for much less than £80 ($160), Coby on his own if you can find him would probably set you back £30-40 ($60-80) if not more? Good luck!

Is there a button a push or something? Because it does not want to come out at all. Also, I had the red version but his still detaches right?

They just tug out, they can be quite a tight fit tho. I've only ever owned the Japanese versions so I'm not 100% Hasbro sure didn't glue theirs but I find it unlikely seeing as so many Scrapmetal owners have mentioned the blade being removable.

I got it, now he's an even better little Scout I got for $5.

Excellent. [/Mr. Burns]

While Coby Ramble's head is far superior, I just don't like the blue & neon green. So I got the Red Scrapmetal, and now he's my Cybertron Rumble, as seen in my signature! 8)
