This is an upcoming Walmart exclusive redeco of the previous line's Reflector figure. Clearly its an homage to Scrap Iron!

That's a bit of a stretch. If he had a half-visor face, black helmet and some sort of double missile accessory, maybe.

It HAS to be a homage. Look at the scars on the Autobot's chest and face, he even has facial scars like Scrap Iron. The name, the colors. HAS to be a homage.

They could have done a better job. Without the name, the whole concept kinda falls apart.

Ha ha...I was right with you until I saw the eye scar.
It’s a possible homage, slight as it may be.

I don't know, there's just too many similarities.

I think the name and scar make it for sure. The coloring would be a subtle homage, but the name/scar seals the deal.
Once the new cartoon is out we'll have to see if he has the same personality and a similar voice. It'd be cool if they went that far |

Perhaps. But I mean, anyone with “scar” in their name should have a scar, and most likely on their face.
Anyway, missed opportunity by not having a missile launcher for a weapon.
