    Looks awesome! Can't wait! If these are final colors, yeah the red head is a bit odd, but it looks relatively easy to paint so I don't mind much either way.

    Also I hope he has rifles that attach to his car mode like the G1's arms parts-formed into.

    Looks really good for an accesory.

    Also, at least the red head makes it look like he has one.

    He looks snazzy, but I'd be lying if I didn't say I'm going to miss his "gun shoulders". I know there's really no place for them, but I always liked that part of his design.

    Do not. Give them. IDEAS! Looks good to me. I did hope for a better G1 toy head homage but this isn't terrible. He does resemble the animation model well enough. At least for me.

    Not a huge fan of the head. It's not Scampers head it's Bumper's plus the red against the rest of the body being black stands out in a bad way. But it's a small figure and doesn't take away from Metroplex so I'll just have to ignore it.

    Given that Bumblebee and Cliffjumper are sports/muscle cars often now, I think this alt mode would suit a modern version of their "brother" Bumper.

    I wish he had a little more painted detail. But that's an easy fix

    I like it. With more detail I do not mind the red to break up the black, but would have preferred some type of gray or light blue personally. The gun shoulders being replaced with a detachable cyberverse gun is an appropriate upgrade in my opinion. Neat that they kept the six-wheeled model, with the two back wheels are part of the arms instead of legs now.

    Glad I'm not the only one that noticed. Now if only Hasbro would release him as such with a minicon. Then I wouldn't feel bad by missing out on him by not buying Metroplex. :lol 

    The hollow legs are a bit of let down, but otherwise he looks like a nice update(not counting the head) to Scamper.

    mold looks great overall, but i much prefer the design of the classic head.

    Anyone else loose all interest in Encore Fort Max with Generations Metroplex on the horizon? (to be fair, i have Brave Max, so Encore Fort Max was a luxury idea ANYWAYS, but dang are the original colors the best) I just totally fizzled on him though with Metro on the way.

    The new Scamper's head reminds me a bit of Chameleon from the UK G1 comic.

    i knew it looked familiar... I wonder if the fact it's cast in red might mean it's a test shot for an alternate head?

    Edit: n/m i see he was rocking the red head on the package image. strange choice.
