Scattorshot (Backpack/Backgild in Japan) is a character in the Transformers: Cybertron television series and toy line. He shouldn't be confused with Scattershot, a Transformer from Generation 1 who spells his name differently. Ironically, the number of weapons carried by Scattorshot would better suit the more aggressive (and infamously ammunition wasteful) Scattershot.
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.

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.

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).
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.
