Transformers Generations Scamper Image

Kinda liking the G1 version more.

Scamper looks pretty solid for a little guy, but some paint apps would be nice.

But elbows! And knees!

It looks okay, but the plastic looks smokey black. Kinda wish it looked more like this:

That looks smokey black to me too.

In any case, this doesn't look like the final product, judging from the head.

Agreed.

I don't recall seeing anything that even resembles a paint app on Metroplex. Hasbro might be a bit stingy when it comes to them, but even they aren't that bad. These look like an unpainted prototype that is being used purely for scale and not for showing us the final product.

I like what I've seen so far, but wish the city mode hid the bot head and limbs better.

Over-rated.

I have G1 Metroplex, but I don't have a G1 Scamper, so if anyone's willing to give me theirs, send me a message and I'll give you my address details.

im loving these new legends figures. and i love this scamper.

I'd call that smokey black. Then again, in those old cartoons, I don't think they could really DO a true pitch-black black. If they did, it wouldn't animate well; you wouldn't be able to see the lines between parts. So that smokey black/charcoal color was probably their "black".

I wish they'd kept the wheels on the legs instead of moving them to the arms.

But let's keep this in perspective; we're nit-picking something that is almost inconsequential next to the behemoth it comes with.

small but sexy. i like the mold.

Aw. What a cute little scamp.


Not crazy about the all red head, but for a freebie figure I can live with it.

Looks good. Now lets just hope it's scout class and not a legends kids meal toy.

Too late.

It's a "new Legends" class toy, as opposed to an "old Legends" class which is now known as "Legion" class. The new Legends class falls in between Legion and Commander, but is just a smidge shorter than the latter. It's the same size class as the new Optimus w/ Roller and Bumblebee w/ Blazemaster toys are.

I dunno, Scamper, that simple transforming b@stard, was always one of my favorite G1 bots when I was a kid.

Six wheeled cars are cool.
Black Cars are cool.
And he was a small figure that could easily fit in my pocket and I could take to school.
Win Win Win!

While G1 Metroplex WAS awesome, let's face it, he turned into a building.
And if he was to go to school, he'd need his own seat on the bus.

I'll agree that I hope the final product is done in a nice glossy black plastic, not the prototype grey that have him in in the sample shots. But overall, I'm looking forward to this little guy almost as much as Metroplex himself.

cool looking figure, hope they repaint/remold him down the road.

No, Scamper does not need more paint apps. He needs to be pure jet black, maybe with one red Autobot symbol. And he doesn't need that stupid-ass Bumper headsculpt.

Hasbro, I don't care how badly you screw up 'Plex but you need to get Scamper right.

He looks kinda like Generations Jazz/Sideswipe to me
Mold-that is.

Not sure I'm diggin' the red head, but Scamper looks pretty good. Can't wait for this Metroplex to be released. Super excited about it.

Why does everyone think these are the final colors. They obviously aren't. Just like that FOC Megatron prototype that we saw earlier. They always color test shots differently for reference

Whoa, hold the phone. FOC Megatron? Do you mean Beast Hunters Megatron?

No, he means FoC Megatron, for lack of a better name at the moment. We saw a prototype a while ago of FoC Grimlock with BW Megatron's head. I'd wager we'll see it in the Generations line down the road soon-ish here.

You're right about BH Megatron, that's another good example of the same thing happening.

Oh, that Megatron. Thought we meant a straight up new mold based off of his appearance in Fall of Cybetron.

Probably would have been safer to say "Generation Beast Megatron" or "FOC Beast Megatron" or something.

Almost certainly just a test shot. I'm sure the final product will be black as he should be. Just wish we were also getting Sixgun and Slammer, maybe a 3rd party will make them happen.

And paint him red to release with Metrotitan FOR THE WIN!

Guessing his final paint job might look like this?



And guessing that most of us hope he might look like this?

Idunno, i kinda like having a lap, and being able to sit down. But hey, wrap yourself in duct tape and see what works for ya I guess....

Make the eyes and face black too and you have my vote.

The GEEWUN is strong with this one.

Why would you want it to be straight black? You can't see any detail that way, it just looks like a chunk of black plastic. XD The silver with blue visor looks fantastic by the way!

AHH. Shooting for the G1 unpainted toy look. I'm thinking the face is 100% animation model, though. Hmmm. I'm not sure I agree... looks like an unpainted prototype or something. Maybe if they used charcoal or metallic gunmetal gray paint for his face and limbs for a little bit of refinement.

It's nothing to do with GEEWUN fandom. It was just that the total blackness made Scamper look truly unique, like he was some kind of special forces car or Disaster Area's ship from HGTTG. It looked seriously cool.

Yeah. I get your point. I'd be happy either way... if the "black" version had a bit of gunmetal charcoal gray for accents.

Or a chase figure. Or a "Stealth Mode" variant (like what the reissue Multiforce had).

LOL. You don't have to tell me. I bought-tha-h3ll-outta-sum black multiforce bots.

Skip to 16:50 in this video by the awesome Thew to see said knock-off Fort Max

And correctin myself earlier, it's deluxe class sized.

That is the one I have! And who is this guy doing the review?? He's hilarious!

"Miles Bennet Killbison!"

I've seen his videos listed on Youtube before, but that's the first time I've actually watched one. I've now got a sneaking suspicion I went to the same primary school as him. Either way he's bloody brilliant.

Here's a couple of additional images from TFYuki. Nothing new really, but fun images none the less. We've decided his images won't be hitting the frontpage unless they reveal something new. Enjoy!

Oh, work it, baby! Work those joints, Metroplex!

*sigh* We finally get a Blitzwing and Trailbreacutter, and then Metroplex happens, and we need to buy everyone again but in a smaller scale. This hobby will never end, will it?

I'll eat my Botcon T-shirt if it can actually stand in that pose.

There's little likelihood it'll -stay- in that pose, at least leaning forward like that, but the point is that he's VERY posable for being so huge.

Only if Ryan makes it Seibertron.com's banner image.

This confirm suspicions that this and Scampe are merely production samples. Not nearly enough red detailing, and his bridge-like area/canopy is unpainted.

I have to say... a LOT of what Hasbro has put out in the past couple of years has left me cold. The sculpts for a lot of the heads, vehicles, gestalts have been so far off the mark... comparing them with their 3rd party counterparts was pretty sad.

BUT... this. THIS is amazing. Great sculpt, detail, articulation, scale... respectful and well-executed homage. Bravo. You have me back on board. Keep it coming.

Those pictures are fricking awesome, can't wait to get mine in the hands.

yeah, looking really good. hope to see some pics of the finished colours for both Hasbro and T/T versions soon, so I can decide which I want to preorder.

which version to order... or which VERSIONS?
