-'''Scramble City''' is the name of a ''Transformers'' OVA (Original Video Animation) created and released in [[Japan]] in April 1986. It was created as a promotional video for the new line of 'Scramble City' toys released only in Japan. Despite strong belief, it was not meant to introduce Japanese audiences to the new characters from [[Transformers: The Movie]] (considering Ultra Magnus is the only one from the film that appears in it.) or to fill in the 20 years between seasons two and three of the show. It actually takes place years before TF: TM during the early stages of construction on Autobot City.
-==Plot==
-Beginning with a recap of the coming of the Transformers to Earth and the story of [[Devastator (Transformers)|Devastator]], the OVA then gets its original story underway, as the Autobots are shown to be in the midst of constructing the powerful "Scramble City," overseen by their newest arrival, [[Ultra Magnus]]. When the Decepticons learn of this, their combiner robots are deployed to attack, and a battle between them and their Autobot counterparts ensues, focusing on their "Scramble Power" - the interchangeability of the individual limbs - to the extent that at one point, Breakdown of the Stunticons connects to Superion to damage him. At the OVA's conclusion, Scramble City is activated and assumes its robot mode of [[Autobot City|Metroplex]] to rout the Decepticons. However, from the ocean depths, the Decepticons' own city, Trypticon, rises.
-This cliffhanger was never resolved as no direct sequel was ever produced. An extended commercial, called ''Scramble City Toys'' but often mistakenly identified as ''Scramble City 2'', was released, but rather than wrap up the cliffhanger, it retold the OVA through stop-motion animation of the toys themselves, with one addition - the introduction of [[Galvatron]]. However, Galvatron was mistakenly shown to be one of Megatron's soldiers, and not, as the fiction would go on to establish, the recreated version of Megatron himself.
-==Characters==
-Most of the characters in ''Scramble City'' are from the first and second seasons, although this marks the first appearance of Ultra Magnus, Ratbat, Steeljaw, Ramhorn, Metroplex, and Trypticon.

-===Notes===
-*''Scramble City'' is part of the Japanese continuity, but not the American. ''Scramble City Toys'' is not part of either, and is simply a toy advert.
-*"Scramble City" is included as a special feature on "Transformers: The Movie" 20th Anniversary Special Edition 2-Disc DVD, although due to rights issues with the entirety of the soundtrack, only a fan commentary (and no subtitles) was provided.
-*In 2007, "Scramble City" was released with full original Japanese audio and subtitles (with optional fan commentary) on the [[region 2]] "Ultimate Edition" version of the movie. However, the video source for the episode was taken from a [[Copyright infringement|pirate]] [[Fansub|fansubbed]] copy, complete with misspelled hard subtitles and a crop all around the picture. Additionally, a poor [[Television standards conversion|standards conversion]] from NTSC to PAL resulted in a green tint on the picture - making it look worse than the pirate copies in distribution.
