Scrambler is a metallic blue quad-bike who was won by Bob in the Sunflower Valley design competition in Bobsville.
Biography
In the tenth series, Bob won a contest to build a town in Sunflower Valley, and also Scrambler, making him a mode of transport there. When the team moved to Sunflower Valley, Scrambler stayed with Wendy at the yard in Bobsville until her caravan was ready. One time, Scrambler had to keep Scruffty out of Bob’s hair, but found out he had lots of energy to burn.
In the eleventh series, Bob loaded Scrambler's trailer with materials needed to build a dog house for Scruffty, while Scrambler went offroading with Spud, along with Scruffty. They saw beavers making dams, and Spud tried to make a ramp, only for it to break. Later, while Bob was building a new cave house for Sandy Beach, Scrambler was given the job to find something to brighten the cave, only to be surrounded by monsters - but Bob found out that they were cave paintings.
In the twelth series, Bob and the team were building a bridge to cross a river, and Scrambler was given the job of delivering the concrete bags to Wendy. On the way, Dizzy got stuck in the mud, and Scrambler decided to pull her out, as other solutions did not work. He later played with the Sunflower Valley Children, and it was their last day before they would go back to school. Meanwhile, Bob and the team were building a surprise for them, and Scrambler brought the materials for the build, in order for the children to have fun for their last day. He then realised that he should have listened and had an idea to have the children help with the build. Scrambler and the kids were pleased when the building was built in time.
In the fourteenth series, Scrambler was given the job of herding Giddy down from Snowcap Mountain while the team were renovating an old barn into a weaving studio for Meg MacDonald. Whilst up there, Scrambler tried to find Giddy, but however kept running away from him, as it felt like playing hide and seek. He later helped Packer fetch the things that are going to be sold at the general store. However, Packer got stuck whilst going down the mountain after getting milk from Meg, and Scrambler helped deliver the milk and the other ingredients. Later, He, Packer and Dodger learnt about the Three Musketeers and decided they would be the Three Musketrucks. Before they could play "Musketrucks", they were sent to pick up a delivery at the docks, only to get the wrong one. They took it back and got the right delivery, only to be sent on a ferry. They all sounded their horns to alert the boat operator, and the boat was soon turned around. In the end, it had turned out that they have had an adventure after all.
Before the fifteenth series, the team were building a hall for a great party, but it suddenly snowed, trapping Scoop up in the mountains, along with Bob's parents and R.Vee. The team needed a way to get it up there, but Bob thought that Scrambler was too impatient for the job, so he brought Zoomer the snowmobile in to help. At first, the two had a rivaly, but got along in the end, saving the party. In the fifteenth series, Mr. Bentley saw that he had not exercised for a while, and Scrambler wanted to be his personal trainer, as he is full of energy.
In the sixteenth series, Scrambler took the Sunflower Valley Children to an overnight badger patrol with Chip Chipper. Scrambler was determined to to follow the motto "be prepared", and he set out to prove that he can be prepared for anything.
