Scrambler to the Rescue is a Bob the Builder: Project: Build It special.

Plot

It's winter in Sunflower Valley and Bob and his team are trying to build a concert hall. A snowstorm traps Scoop and Bob’s parents at the Toymakers up in the mountains. Bob has a plow attachment for him to use to clear the roads, but they need a way to get it up to the toymaker’s. Bob thinks Scrambler is too inexperienced for the job, so he brings Zoomer, the snowmobile in to help. But disaster strikes when Scrambler lets the mission to his head! It feels as the party is doomed, until he and Zoomer put their differences aside to save the big winter party and learn to work together!

Trivia

A toy train resembling Thomas the Tank Engine can be seen in the toy factory, and Thomas' whistle sound is used. The coaches are also similar in colour to Gordon's express coaches.
- A stuffed Bob doll can also be seen here, as well as Terence from Rubbadubbers, three of the fire engine toys without a key from the Pingu episode, Pingu and the Toy, three space rocket toys from the Pingu episode, Pingu and the Toyshop and the yellow rubberband airplane from the Pingu episode, Pingu and the Rubberband Plane. (Thomas & Friends, Pingu, and Rubbadubbers are all owned by HiT/Mattel, with the latter two shows also being made by HOT Animation, thus explaining the references).
- Also, Mr. Bentley's red train in box from Mr. Bentley's Trains can be seen here.

Goofs

When R.Vee says, "And we've brought Robert and Dot to see you" in the US dub, Marc Silk says it in his "Bob" voice.
Scrambler wears his Talkie-Talkie for most of the special, but is missing it on the cover.
As the episode Travis and the Tropical Fruits (Series 12) shows a scene where Mr. Beasley waits from Summer to Spring for his pineapple to grow, that would technically be the first winter in Sunflower Valley, unless this special takes place during that scene.
Some of the deleted scenes at the party lack sound effects.
When the team greet Zoomer and Scrambler is introduced to him, Zoomer is already wearing his Talkie-Talkie before Wendy gives it to him.
