Scoop
If you're out of ammo and pinned by heavy enemy fire deep in the bowels of a slag swamp, Scoop is the robot you want on your side. He's possibly the best field infantry robot there is. A gung-ho fighter who uses cool-headed logic and battle-hardened tactics, he can outwit the enemy at every turn.
Relentless in his resolve, he's always willing to help others out, no matter how dangerous the situation. Scoop is also strongly religious, and he believes in the buried legends regarding Primus written about him in His Covenant.
Scoop's greatest asset, his dedication (both religious and job-related) is also his greatest weakness. Since he pushes so hard and for so long, he's prone to overheating, especially if pushing his shovel past its limit. He's also often so engrossed in his spiritual literature that he likely won't see hints of betrayal around him unless his texts explicitly spell it out.
Alt mode 360 GIF.
Top view of the alt mode. As a wheel loader, it rolls very well, almost Hotwheels like.
The 'scoop' of the wheel loader can raise up, but the front of the loader is hollow. At least there is details at the front of the cockpit.
Targetmaster weapons can attach on the vehicle.
Compares to Takara CW Scrapper. (Reasons to compare this two)
Scoop is replacing Scrapper in IDW comics, Scrapper is 'absent' at the time.
I recently got this figure, good in price, it is actually not bad to get one, just the color is a little bit plastic-ish, maybe this orange plastic is like so. The shoulder part doesn't lock in place, it is very loose when turning the shoulder balljoint.
Scoop in the IDW Comics look really sneaky to me, he look more like a coward Decepticon than a religiously enthusiast Autobot.
Robot mode 360 GIF.
Close up on Scoop's head, light tube eyes not function well, maybe one of the reason is the swing arm at the back block the light, and it is also in black. His face is a little too furious comparing to IDW comic version.
Chest plate resembling the IDW version of Scoop.
Open the chest piece to reveal the mechanical details of the alt mode.
The back is cover with the loader scoop.
Details on the back behind the loader scoop.
Lower legs details look very nice.
Back of the legs is hollow, but at least it got detailing.
Head can turn 360, but a bit tight.
Elbow joint movement is a little weak, and shoulder ball joint is overly tight.
Waist swivel joint can turn 360.
Leg articulations is not bad, but no tilting joint on the ankle part.
Scoop's Targetmaster weapons/partners.
The two guns can combine into one.
Another form.
The two Targetmaster in robot mode, Caliburst & Holepunch.
Back.
Standing beside Scoop.
The two guns can also attach on the forearms like so.
Dual gunner!
