Not Spoons. He'd comelater.

Scrapper units are machines that convert into forklifts. Both theAutobot andDecepticon armies make use of thesedrones, which are small and quick fighters. They are also physically weak, making them more annoying than deadly.

He is completely unrelated tothat other Constructicon guy who just happens to share the same name.

Games

Battle for the Allspark

Mixmaster was used as the basis for a chassis available to players as their combatant for theBattle for the Allspark game. Units using this body came in two variations. Autobot-aligned units had a helmet and facemask that vaguely resembled Optimus Prime, while the Decepticon-aligned units had the single-lens design seen in other film-related media.

Scrapper units can be either Autobot (top) or Decepticon (bottom)

Scrapper units had equal Attack & Defense skills, with a Speed boost.Battle for the Allspark

Transformers: The Game (console)

The weakest of the Transformer drone-models, Scrappers are light on their feet and vicious melee combatants when up close. They are armed with small rocket launchers, but they don't use them often. They primarily show up to harass the Autobots inTranquility, but they also arrive in vast numbers to tackleMegatron inMission City.

To defeat them, follow the following tips: SMASH! SHOOT! WILD ATTACKS! They just go boom in one or two hits.Transformers The Game

Notes

I Can't Believe It's Not Scrapper! ®

ArtistKen Christiansen designed Scrapper, along with the other new characters in theTransformers - The Game andTransformers: Revenge of the Fallen - The Game video games.
The Scrapper drone was one of two types of drone whose names were put up for voting on the game's web-site (which was a pretty good indication that they're weren't going to be getting toys, the other beingMixmaster). The other names came from pastTransformers characters, including:
Although there has technically never been a toy officially representing Scrapper (unlike most other droneswho had their own figures), it's pretty clear thatDirt Boss from theRevenge of the Fallen toyline is directly based on his design, albeit featuring a different color scheme. He would later get an orange repaint namedDeadlift, only further making the similarities between the two characters even more uncanny.
