It is believed that Scrap-Iron is a product designer for Destro's armaments company. Carries out initial field testing on all new armor piercing munitions and sub-munitions. Area of specialization is remote-launched, laser-guided, rocket-propelled piezo-electric fused anti-tank weapons. These weapons are categorized beyond the "smart" stage and are known by the nomenclature: "brilliant."*
"Scrap-Iron is methodical and precise. Imperfection in any form repels him. Perhaps that's why he wants to blow up the world."

Creator Commentary
Ron Rudat illustrated a dozen or so head options for Scrap Iron back in 1983. Interestingly, one sketch features the trademark scar that did not make it into the final head sculpt until v5 was released in 2008 (check that figure out on YoJoe).
