    Okay... so far in this line we have a delivery truck called "Rollbar", despite having no rollbars or anything to do with rollbars...

    And now a forklift called "Dirt Boss", despite having nothing to do with dirt (though possibly something to do with bossing).

    Following this logic, I anticipate the patrol boat Scout figure will go by the name of "Backstreet".

    Stupid Hasbro...

    ...Nice fig, stupid name.

    I DO want to see scans of the back of the card, though. :D 
    Maybe there's a fluff text reason for the name?

    Dirt Boss huh? Well, at least they didn't call him 'Inch Up'... yeah, I said it, as absurd as Hasbro's 'slap generic name on character to keep TM' stuff can get... it's never as absurd as some of the Japanese names Takara dishes out onto their toys. :) 

    Honestly though... I don't waste time worrying about what a toy is called (except when I'm giving out b-day and Christmas lists to family), because once I buy the guy I'll call him whatever I want to.

    Have to say that I'm really liking the scouts in this line. Really good figures though I'll probably only be getting Knock Out, Dead End and Dirt Boss of the five we've seen at this point... Rollbar does nothing for me and I'll need better images of the unnamed boat before I decide if he's a potential purchase or not. Of course, this is really funny considering that I've never been a big fan of scouts and only have a handful that I've kept. These are actually interesting to me.

    I completely agree. And the bike is called Knock Out.
