Scrap Iron got his name because of his talent for locking onto and destroying moving targets from space. You would know you were in his target zone when you stumbled across the unidentifiable remains of whatever was there before. He is not too into the idea of running a defensive operation in deep space, which was why he was so glad to hear that the Street Action Team was on its way. He has never met them, but it is nice to have the opportunity to destroy a celebrity.
Like High Wire, Grindor has fond memories of the peace they found on Earth after the end of the Energon Battles. He had fully supported the formation of an independent Mini-Con state on the moons of Cybertron, and was a local booster of the Mini-Con Council of Sages. He believes that all Mini-Cons can and should live in peace, and he still harbors hopes that the conflict with the rebels can be resolved without too much fighting.
Please be aware that this is not a review, as I have never had these figures in hand. The pictures were provided by my good buddy Flo and I have reviewed other versions of these toys, which are linked below for reference.
Remarks: To bolster the Cybertron line-up, five Mini-Con teams from the Armada days and one from Energon were taken from storage, given new colors, and paired off more or less at random into nine different vs-Packs. At the very least, though, all nine packs sported individual profile texts for all these Mini-Cons (see above), making for a rather fascinating micro-continuity with the Cybertron series. In this pack we have Scrap Iron, repaint of Armada Astroscrope, and Grindor, repaint of Energon Grindor. Scrap Iron combines with the rest of the Deep Space Team into the mighty Umbral Blaster, while Grindor combines with the rest of the Street Action Team into Perceptor.
See Backblast vs. Sureshock and Blastcharge vs. High Wire for the rest of the Deep Space Team and the Street Action Team.
