-New Move (To be decided upon later if allowed)
-Meteor Mash
-Explosion
-BraveBird

Lol, who would use Brave bird over other moves anyway?
 
-New Move (To be decided upon later if allowed)
-Meteor Mash
-Explosion
-Brave Bird

Don't see a need for Brave Bird, it seems like one of those superfluous moves we originally gave Syclant. Explosion can fit a scout, its used once you know what they are going to switch in (by scouting) to remove the counter, which is the purpose of the scout: to find and remove counters for other Pokemon to sweep.
 
-New Move (To be decided upon later if allowed)
-Meteor Mash
-Explosion
-Brave Bird

Meteor Mash might as well be allowed, and new move should stay just because someone might have some good ideas that we don't want to shut down. Explosion and Brave Bird both hurt/kill this thing, and we want it to be switching repeatedly, not getting worn down to nothing.
 
-New Move (To be decided upon later if allowed)
-Meteor Mash
-Explosion
-Brave Bird

Explosion does work as a last resort, but has too much oomph behind it.
 
-New Move (To be decided upon later if allowed)
-Meteor Mash
-Explosion
-Brave Bird

Put them all in the mix, and let the movepool creators then decide.
 
-New Move (blah blah blah)
-Meteor Mash
-Explosion
-Brave Bird

STAB U-Turn clone, STAB Crush Claw variant, whatever.....I want the new move in there.....
 
-New Move (To be decided upon later if allowed) - as others have said may as well allow for new ideas to be inputted, even if it is a bit more of a headache. We could all be overlooking something(however, minute that may be).

-Meteor Mash - I keep thinking Iron Head would be plenty... however, steel is hardly an offensive typing. I just don't see a huge issue in it having this move, balance wise. It gives it some oomph without being overbearing.

-Explosion - Explosion really isn't what I see as a scouts purpose. Plus, as mentioned before the attack value on this thing is high. Combine Explosion with Meteor Mash and I can so see this guy being used as a sweeper. Probably not a 'unparalleled sweeper' but he possess immunities to fighting, normal, and poison. And resists a whole lot. Too top it off two of the types that don't fear explosion would not want to switch into one of this guys stabbed moves. Which would make it very good for sweeping(or at least if it gets both Mash, good ghost stab, and Explosion, that is how I will use it).

-Brave Bird - I don't see why not, but I don't really see a compelling reason for it. And a few reasons not for it. Namely recoil moves aren't a scouts cup of tea(usually). Basically if it gets Brave Bird it would strike me mostly as filler. So if you need a filler move go ahead, I suppose.
 
New Move - Several good options were brought up here, including a STAB U-Turn and a STAB Crush Claw / Seed Flare type attack.
Explosion - Just seems fitting, as many Steels and Ghosts have explosion.
Meteor Mash and Brave Bird - No, don't allow this. If this thing is given high-power moves, it'll go from "Scout" to "Sweeper" given its speed.
