Note: yes, you can edit this, just don't vandalize, move the page or remove things unless it's to correct information or grammar.

Scoop, Muck, Dizzy, Roley and Lofty are the main characters from the children's show Bob the Builder, they are owned by Bob and Wendy.

Scoop is voiced by Blake Harrison, Muck is voiced by Paul Panting, Dizzy is voiced by Sarah Handland, Roley is voiced by Marcel McCalla and Lofty is voiced by Steve Kynman.

While they were good in the Original Series, they were unfortunately flanderized beginning with the 2015 reboot.

Generally

 * 1) The most obvious reasons why they are bad now is that their characters were flanderized beyond recognition, and seemingly act nothing like their original selves.
 * 2) Their new voices that was given to them are extremely ear-piercing to listen to, and they do not match their characters in slightest.
 * 3) *Scoop sounds way too high pitched and younger.
 * 4) *Muck sounds like dumb comic relief.
 * 5) *Roley sounds way too high pitched to the point it sounds like he sucked some helium
 * 6) *Lofty seems to have a Cornish accent for some reason.
 * 7) Their redesigns are incredibly mediocre to look at, as they've gone form looking cartoony and friendly looking, into being way too realistic and creepy looking to even feel like the original machines.

Scoop

 * 1) He started out as a sensible and reliable leader whom Bob and Wendy were able to trust in the original series, but in the reboot, he is now an over-excited, young, clumsy, careless goofball who always messes everything up all the time, either unintentionally, or even on purpose.
 * 2) In most episodes of the reboot, he always gets the main focus of the episode, whilst some other characters like Muck or Lofty do get the spotlight sometimes, but for most episodes, he always gets the spotlight.
 * 3) In lots of episodes he is in, he has made way too many mistakes:
 * 4) *He slipped on snow causing him to lose control and accidentally hit a ski lift, causing it to fall down.
 * 5) *He slipped on ground causing him to accidentally push Lofty over the edge of a bridge.
 * 6) *He ended up ruining a road when constructing it.
 * 7) He never gets any character development at all throughout the reboot and he never learns from any of his mistakes.

Muck

 * 1) He went from being a funny but reliable vehicle, into a more dumber idiot who equally screws up like Scoop.

Dizzy

 * 1) Whilst she wasn't flanderized, she along with Roley was pushed over as a side character for seemingly no reason at all.
 * 2) *Because of this, both her and Roley barely even get the spotlight in most episodes she is in.
 * 3) Her redesign in particular is probably the worst redesign of all the machines in the show, as she went from having a cute design to looking extremely unappealing and creepy looking.

Roley

 * 1) He went from being smooth and calm with a love of music, into being extremely fussy about making sure that everything is nice and flat.
 * 2) Much like Dizzy, he was pushed over as a side character and barely gets the spotlight in episode he is in.

Lofty

 * 1) He arguably suffered the worst flanderization in this reboot, as he went from being a friendly, shy coward into being intelligent, sarcastic and is no longer scared of anything anymore.
 * 2) He is often a jerk to most of the other machines for no reason, and example of this is when he says that Scoop is "yellow, strong, but his lights gone wrong".

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) Despite her terrible redesign, Dizzy was the only one who wasn't flanderized and still remains the same likeable, crazy, know-it-all cement mixer that she was in the original series.
 * 2) Scoop and Muck's redesign, while not great, is at least somewhat more accurate to the original designs than Roley, Dizzy and Lofty's design.
 * 3) Even though most of the voice actors do bad jobs at voicing the characters, Sarah Handled at least does a decent job at voicing Dizzy.
