Transformers: Cybertron

Scattorshot is the Autobots' main technical expert, he spends most of his time in the base analyzing monitors. Though he hestaites sometimes, he handles his duties with precision. He has a slight Southern accent, which is based upon a Hollywood war general stereotype.

Note: Scattorshot shouldn't be confused with the Generation 1 Technobot Scattershot (with an "e" instead of an "o"). Although some parts of the Hasbro web site call the character "Scattershot", it was probably changed to make it more easily trademarked, as Hasbro now has a trademark on the name Scattorshot.

Animated series

In episode number 5, "Space", Bud, jealous of Hot Shot wants to go to space. He and Jolt convince Scattorshot to take a ride on the space bridge. Bud and Scattorshot are observing a battle from space and are hit by a stray missile, which knocks them into a freefall. The Autobots finally find out the whereabouts of Bud and Scattorshot. Jetfire rushes to their rescue but a wayward satellite hits them and knocks them towards the atmosphere. Quick thinking by Jolt saves them both. It turns out Vector Prime had been teaching the Mini-Cons to create dimension gates but only small ones, but it was enough to get them back to base.

In the episode "Revelation" with the help of Scourge, Megatron and the Decepticons are finally freed from captivity. They decide to head to Earth, and Scourge joins them. Meanwhile, Starscream places the Earth Planet Key in the Omega Lock, and a space bridge bridge is formed, revealing the black hole to Earth and the entire universe. A transmission is received by the Autobots, and is deciphered by Red Alert and Vector Prime. The message says to bring the Planet Keys and Omega Lock to Cybertron, but does not clarify what will happen. However, the Decepticons appear at Niagara Falls, and the Autobots rush to challenge them. In the battle, Megatron is challenged by Hot Shot, Red Alert, and Scattorshot - in the process, his raw emotion allows him to tap into the Omega Lock and gain a new Cyber Key Power - a machine gun, which he promptly uses to lay waste to all three Autobots.

Luckily, they're taken to a military base to be repaired, but like his 2 comrades, Scattorshot says all hope is lost. Bud, Coby, and Lori tell them not to give up. Miraculously, the three Autobots reformat themselves by scanning nearby military vehicles.

In the episode "Critical", after Red Alert, Hot Shot and Scattorshot were nearly killed in combat with Megatron, the power of the Cyber Planet Keys was able to not only heal their wounds, but reformat the trio of Autobots into new forms based on vehicles found at the military base they were being repaired at. The three Autobots became the Cybertron Defense Team (Vanguard Team).

In episode Challenge he saved the other two from Soundwave and Sideways in a huge fog.

In the episode "Unfinished", when the Autobots attempted to use a gigantic rocket to move the Animatros back into its orbit, Galvatron attacked and damaged the rocket. The jungle planet threatened to crash into Cybertron. Scourge, the Autobots, the former Decepticons, and their allies from the various planets were able to combine their strength and move the rocket back into place.

After the threat of Galvatron (Master Galvatron) and his Decepticons was over Optimus Prime (Galaxy Convoy) proposed a new Space Bridge project using the power of the four Cyber Planet Keys and the four great Cybertronian ships. Many Autobots and former Decepticons joined in the project. Leaving Jetfire (Dreadrock) in charge of Cybertron, Optimus Prime lead the Atlantis with the Earth Cyber Planet Key, joined by Red Alert (First Gunner), Safeguard (Roots), Scattorshot (Backgild), Leobreaker (Ligerjack), Menasor (Mole Dive) and Heavy Load.

Fun Publications

IDW's Transformers Collectors Club exclusive comic story, "Revelations part 6", is set after the defeat of Galvatron but before Optimus Prime's mission to start a new Space Bridge project. In this story the Autobots from the IDW series ("Robots in Disguise" Optimus Prime, Ultra Magnus, Sentinel Maximus, Downshift, Perceptor, Alpha Trion, Over-Run, Anti-Blaze, Checkpoint and Scythe) meet the Autobots from the animated series ("Cybertron" Optimus Prime, Jetfire, Override, Scattorshot, Red Alert, Hot Shot, Lori, Bud and Coby) and thank each other and remembering those who were lost in the battles.

Scattorshot was one of the main characters to appear in Fun Publications fiction "Gone to Far", a text based story set on Transtech Cybertron.
