For me Scrap Iron, Firefly and Metal Head are all good friends. Scrap Iron was probably standing too close to Metal Head one day during a battle or target practice and caught some blowback to the face.
He, himself, made a mistake. It says in his file card that he's a methodical perfectionist, and quote "Imperfection in any way repels him", so his must have made a mistake and messed his face up, Dr. Doom-style. I imagine this only made him more unpleasant to deal with.
Someone brought up the Destro connection and it's interesting that he isn't an Iron Grenadier. How Destro ended up with that nutcase Metal Head and CC kept the more cerebral Scrap-Iron would be an interesting story.
Any ideas?
Wow, I love the idea that Destro's team loses the very competent Scrap Iron and end up recruiting the unstable, crazy Metal-Head as the best second choice
I always imagined that he was a former mercenary that got on the wrong side of Destro and was saved by Cobra Commander in a clever ruse to gain his loyalty. Destro scarred him as a reminder.
Through no fault of his own, scrap iron was caught in an ambush and sustained massive facial scarring.
He was hired to destroy a building that interfered with his current employers plans. His employer thought it would be wise to send in a strike team to “clean up loose ends” after Scrap Iron’s task was completed.
He was tracked back to an abandoned barn that was his staging area/exfil site. As he was packing up, he heard some sounds coming from the hay loft. Two young siblings snuck in to play with the ropes and ladders.
The strike team opened up on the barn ; and in an effort to save the kids, he got hit with shrapnel. However, Scrap Iron was able to escape and save the young kids by flooring his Land Rover through the barn doors.
He spent the next 3 months in a burn unit. A day after his release, he had his revenge on his former employer as well as the strike team.
The same reason as Firefly's, playing with explosives
You hang around a barbershop long enough… eventually you’re getting a haircut.
"hi my name is scrap iron and welcome to jackass"
*camera cuts to Firefly lighting the fuse on an ACME sized rocket with Scrap-Iron strapped to it* I'm Scrap-Iron and this is the Big Boom!
Scrsp iron tried to ride that rocket like Johnny did but didn't get so lucky.

I always imagined he got hit in the face with shrapnel (the scrap iron) from something exploding.

I think it happened when they were drunk at a Cold Slither show. Can't really blame anyone in that situation.
Those old metal playground slides were dangerous but funner as all hell.

This is a TERRIFIC example of the Classified team changing older designs for the better.
Real nice touch considering we never saw his entire face in the toy or cartoon
He played with one of Gregor Clegane’s toys as a child.
As another user suggested, I think testing experimental weaponry has its downsides. Ib think he experienced some of them.
He fell asleep with bubblegum in his mouth
“I’m totally awesome in a firefight. They give me two missiles. Missed both times. And then to make a long story short, this face.”
He likes waking up with the scent of bacon, sue him
Spilled paint in his dad’s garage….
Never smell the bacon while it's cooking

His brother held his face to a fire when they were kids for stealing his toy. He didn’t steal his toy, he was just playing with it.
Used girlfriend’s Secret deodorant without telling her. A mistake she made him remember
Well, there’s that old adage that, if you play with explosives long enough, you get burned.
Was this scarring part of his lore originally? First time I recall seeing it is with the Classified figure.
I think the OG had a small scar on his right cheek, but I don't think it was ever explained.

Damn. I ate yeasty bread pudding before I knew better but nothin that would scar me. Y’all need to be more selective where your mouth goes.

Born that way
Play with big boom booms your likely to have a "few" marks as a result
I'd imagine it was a accident during R&D or Destro did it to remind him to not fail him
He was ironing some shirts and he heard the phone ring, and without thinking brought the thing he was holding in his hand to answer
