They cheat in Scrapheap Challenge by bringing in parts thats not
available at the mock-up junk yard. Some stuff work supricingly
well for being scrapped and oddly fits in the episode well to well! ;)

After all they are just Tv shows. AD/Nat/TI wont take notice they just discontinuing the SSM2164, robotwars/scrapheap didnt help much!

SSM2164 are a *scrapheap* challenge now. CA3280 are far beyond!
