Hisashi Yuki has taken a break from his daily teasing of the Transformers fans everywhere with pictures of Generations Metroplex to show us a robot mode picture of Metroplex’s little partner robot. Generations Metroplex will come with an updated Scamper, the black car robot who came with the original Metroplex. This Scamper stands roughly the same height as Generation 1 Scamper, but features modern levels of design and articulation. Check out the image from the TFYuki Twitter feed!

At the very least, I'd say the visor and the face will have some paint on them in the final version.
j.a.f.o.
Shall I hold my breath over this pic being an unfinished production model (i.e., having a head that's not simply all red)?
GAUGE
okay so after seeing the cartoon model:
I can see why they went with the head mold they chose.
Thoguh It can also be said that Scampers new head resembles G1 Strafe's (Technobot) animation model.

You complain about a lot of things.

I'm getting Plex anyway but this just sweetens the deal.
Hastak should do a lot more legion sized cars with this kind of posebility…..I'd be all over that.

Might just be extra molding. By the shape it looks like a swivel rather then ball jointed head. Then again that might change sometime down the road.

am i the only that thinks his head looks a little… tilted? is there a chance he'll have head movement?

Scamper's lower legs remind me of Battle Roller's. I don't know why, but I'm having flashbacks of Cybertron Scouts.

hmm… hadn't noticed the hollow tires. Not hollow in the inside, but hollow along the tire surface where the tread and grooves are.
That is a new cost-cutting low!

Put a scanner on the front of the car and I'll call him K.I.T.T. as a Transformer with his red face.

The pictures we've been seeing for Scamper and Metroplex have been mostly unpainted prototypes. There's nothing to indicate that they'll reflect the fully painted toys.
GAUGE
By changing his head and face this isn't Scamper.
at the very least he could have been given Feet instead of nubs.
and of all the crap to make hollow you made his actual Tires HOLLOW??? Really!?!
also, interesting to see Metro has no paint apps on the back of his calves (The thrusters)
JetBrawn
ah, I see…
with his new gigantic hands, he was finally able to pull down his faceplate
vmagnum
Screw those pair of Scamper's arms I'm hunting. this will do very,very well…

Is the pic of Scamper an unpainted prototype?
kjeevahh
Yes, this! What have they done to him?? Give him back his faceplate and visor, that new head is horrendous!
MrSoundmeister
oh,and he also looks alot like R.I.D Wars (and his original mold he was based on)
Feralstorm
Hmm, aside from the color, that suddenly makes sense. Scamper got so little screen time I never thought about what his cartoon face looked like.

Yeah, what my bro in law said lol. Seriously, I already have the Renderform Bumper upgrade, don't want another.
