Scrapmetal (Movie)


 * Scrapmetal is a Decepticon Constructicon from the Revenge of the Fallen portion of the live-action film continuity.



Scrapmetal, "the little one", was a Constructicon Excavator killed for spare parts to repair and revive Megatron. His alternate mode is a Volvo excavator with a claw-like attachment attached to the end of its arm in place of a bucket.

Revenge of the Fallen film
Scrapmetal went down to the Laurentian Abyss with Long Haul, Mixmaster, Rampage, Ravage, and The Doctor to revive Megatron. When the Doctor found that he needed more parts to repair Megatron's body, he ordered Long Haul and Mixmaster to kill "the little one" Scrapmetal in order to get the parts he needed. What great friends.

Trivia

 * The character used to be called "ze little one" or "the little one" by fandom. Hasbro felt that they'd like to call him "Scrapmetal". Seems he has a rather suiting name.


 * He looks like Scrapper in humanoid mode.


 * He has one line, "NOOOOOOO" when he's getting ripped apart.


 * For awhile, many people assumed he is Scrapper or Overload. It was eventually confirmed that The little one was a separate character altogether.


 * Thanks to the technical error, he is both a bulldozer and a excavator, which may not make him a Triple Changer. Most people take the excavator for his alt mode, but Hasbro thinks the bulldozer is his alt mode.


 * As he is dragged to the ground by his comrades, it can briefly be seen that he has caterpillar treads on his feet, similar to those of Megatron, who was repaired using his parts.


 * Even though he is called "the little one", his vehicle mode is one of the biggest of the Constructicons sent to revive megatron. In robot mode he was as tall as Mixmaster, maybe even taller, because when he is killed, Mixmaster rips his leg off but Scrapmetal is still as tall as him.
