I still remember getting him as a kid. I have him with the rest of my Beast Wars upstairs. Tons of nostalgia when I see him. I love that your review older toys. BTW as many have said he is a Scarab beetle.
@onsanyo The head is a dead ringer for Kamen Rider Gills from Kamen Rider Agito. It also looks a lot like the older ones from when it was just starting out.
BW Transmetal 2 Scarem, huh? Ha, I think this figure works MUCH better for me as Beast wars Transmetal 2 insecticon Shrapnel ( why not, Hasbro really can do that, sometime, maybe)! I'm actually dig this idea of kinda repaint this figure into Shrapnel or somebody else too, because I just want to see a much better paintskin on that guy figure and a little bit remolded so much, especially on his arms btw, someday... (Oh, and another tiny thing about this toy, Imo Scarem a really creepy, a little bit odd and terrifying of how his body goes to me, but it doesn't mean that I don't like this figure, I liked it a lot and his face looks kinda similar to Thrustinator I think, omg!)
Regarding the 'asymmetry' prevalent throughout the Transmetal 2s (SPOILER ALERT); there are actually good 'story' reasons for it. The original Transmetal effect was from the 'wave' originating from the Vok planet-killer (that was not, in fact, a moon). Fairly intact bit of Vok tech up until the earth-shattering kaboom (well, moon-shattering). So, we get Transformers that look like they got mixed up between classic 'vehicle' modes and 'beast' modes, resulting in shiny triplechanger-lite forms. The Transmetal 2s started based on an unknown Vok ball of menacing black metal and red lights, which was then readjusted by Megatron and/or Tarantulas for the purpose of creating a SUPER ZOMBIE. I might actually consider it a plot hole if something like that DIDN'T give results that looked a bit mutated....
This guy looks very interesting. Purple chrome claws work for me, for some weird reason. Thanks for the look at yet another beast wars figure I did not know existed.
Had him as a kid. As with most of my transformers pre-college, I gave him away. Wish I hadn't. Likely I'll try to reaquire him

Why can't anybody get over the symmetry?? That's What this whole line was about.
I personally like it.
This is one of my favorite Transmetal 2s. The grody asymmetrical look works very well for a creepy bug.
Scarem:"I wish I was the transmetal upgrade of that other stag beetle predacon. then maybe I'd get more appearances in the comics!"
When i was a kid i honestly thought he was an upgrade of Insecticon. When i lost Insecticon i got Scarem as a replacement
@@TyphonMar you know thats a cool idea if insecticon was in the show. He would be scarem on transmetal form
@@ekgbrolarekg1182 just like Scavenger the new Inferno.
@@zoltanperei4789 pretty much
@@zoltanperei4789 I heard that he was gonna be the transmetal inferno. But they maded different characters later on
As a kid I had this guy. He looked so mean and badass. To me he was the reincarnation of Rampage. Just look at the face.
I had this one when I was a kid. Beast wars was the best toys ever.

I love the look of the smooth scythe-like blade.
I had this one, sonar, terragator,and drill bit as a kid unfortunately all I have left is terragator and its missing its turtle shell
Hes based off a Scarab..... the creepy beetles from the Mummy, hence Scarem=Scare em'
Scarabs don't have horns, though.
Zandeel Remmington
No......just, no
Used to LOVE this one as a little boy. I’ll probably buy this guy again to have and experience the nostalgia. Sounds stupid 😂 BUT I NEED IT!

Agreed. Hasbro should have named them Transmutants instead of Transmetals 2. It would fit them perfectly.
In other word upgraded but with imperfections
i`m pretty sure he is suposed to be a giant water bug.
just google that, they look pretty similar.
To be a bit more precise, his beast mode seems to be a scarab, as opposed to a stag beetle.
He is one off my Favs. When are you doing your best off 2010
This guy looks very interesting. Purple chrome claws work for me, for some weird reason. Thanks for the look at yet another beast wars figure I did not know existed.
Seems very Kamen Rider-esque.
@Sgtscorpious He was one of my favorite Transmetal 2 characters.
He's just rocking the three secondaries. Green. Orange. Purple.
He's Transmetal II Insecticon! He's a stag beetle, and look at the robot faces on both.
I always thought of this as a transmetal II Tarantulas when I was young
OMG i had him as a kid i used to love that guy thanks for this vid u brought back some merorys
hmmmm i wonder when he is now ?
I totally had this guy. I remember those scythes.
Yo tenia ese juguete cuando era niño que nostalgia como en el año 2000 o 2001
I loved this toy as a kid.
In my opinion the basic class sized figures were the best
according to a transformer wiki he is a beetle!!! All I can say I have not seen a beetle like that. Maybe a stag beetle or sumthing related
Billy West is the voice of Scarem.
i have this guy beside me right now and every time i look at him i think of the pokemon scyther lol
If you still have this figure in one piece can I buy it from you please. The highest I would pay in $20
Kinda looks like a transforming transmetal beetle butler
You have the best time and will use it
Wait, he's a stag beetle... that changes...
Change.... Stag Beetle....
Waga tomo, KaGAAAAmi?
I loved that toy
He is in fact a Giant Water Bug, aka Toe Biter.
He looks similar to one of the Deluxe Insecticons
*gasp* ASYMMETRY!!! (Passes out and bleeds profusely from nose)
Maybe a Scarab?
@onsanyo Aside from the horns I mean. Especially the mouth, only it's not silver.
I have all transmetal,Sonar was my favorite
Just found this guy at a yard sale.
Don't like the the plain orange legs but the rest is pretty cool.
With the face and scythe hands i see why his name is scare 'm.
look good repainted as an insecticon
Scarab maybe? Scarem the scarab? 🤷🏻♂️
he is a cyber scarab.
Scaram is supposed to be a scarb beetle though transmetaled
Scarem is a scarab lmao
I think i had one of these....i cant remember which one i had
I remember I used to have this guy!

Scarab beetle
Giant water bug aka toe biter
@Unicron09 same here =D
He is such a pain in the ass to transform back into beast mode. Feels impossible to convert him back.
Can’t you just reverse the steps?
Scarab

SteamingBurito no it's a scarab
