History
"Get off of my property!"

-...

In the aftermath of the First Encantadia-Cantha War, the Encantadians had a problem. There was rubble cluttering the cities, and no easily-weaponized method of clearing it. From the minds at the "Stone Yard" municipal garbage dump came a new plan. Why shove the debris into the nearest body of water, they reasoned, when you can launch it instead? To this end, they retrofitted one of the hand-me-down loader-lifters used at the junkyard, replacing the articulated arms and lifter with high-speed pistons and a large, almost damage-proof plow. During one of the junkmen's tests runs, a Voshkod Commissar overseeing the situation was nearly beheaded by a flying T-72 turret. He immediately and furiously demanded to know what was going on. In short order, the designs for the Scrapper were appropriated and the original designers were compensated accordingly. An office in the Vladivostok Battle Lab was set aside for the purpose of trimming up and properly "upgrading" the machine. A few weeks later, a machine emerged from the lab, battle-ready and Encantadian from top to bottom.

The mission, as it stands, is to remove unwanted obstacles from anywhere the Encantadian sees fit. This incredibly ambiguous statement allows the Aristocracy to deploy the Scrapper pretty much however they want. The massive plow allows the Scrapper to function as the "moving wall" the Katsuragi scorned in favor of nanorobotic shielding. If it gets in close enough to a vehicle or infantry, it can send the unit flying backward with a quick piston-powered shove of the plow. Some more "innovative" commanders even use Scrappers to give their own troops a "boost".

Besides expelling unwelcomed guests, the Scrapper can also neutralize enemy vehicles before they could even reach the base using its Elemental Mines. Doubling as the Encantadians minelayer, a design that would inspire the creation of the Voshkod Antlion Minelayer.
