This has happened to me before, on a Signature TF (I think it was Synapse), and all I did was petition a GM for it, and by the next day (it was like 4 a.m. when the TF was completed) I logged in and had it, along with a lovely note from the GM that it had been awarded.
I can only suggest you do the same.
However, (Though I may be mistaken on my Giant Monster mechanics) Scrapyard has a tendancy to disappear before he dies. If that was the case, you didn't receive the badge because you didn't, in fact, defeat him.
Edit: If you still have the '<player> has defeated Scrapyard' message in your rewards log, copy and paste that into your petition as 'proof' that he did die.

Thanks. In the chat window, there was text stating something like "You have defeated the Ghost of Scrapyarder", so I don't think he despawned.

Without more details, I couldn't really tell you if it was a bug or something that should be happening.
First off, the Ghost of Scrapyard likes to run around and commit suicide-by-droning. It also has a despawn timer which can run out while you're fighting, causing him to disappear in the middle of the fight. Either of those could be the reason. Passing the star or having pets dealing the majority of the damage won't affect the badge and you don't have to talk to Crimson Revenant to get it, but if there were several other teams and your team got off to a late start against him your team may not have dealt the required amount of damage.
Given my personal observations of the number and frequency of teams that I see fighting him, I find it unlikely that there were enough people attacking him in other teams that you were unable to get enough damage unless he happened to be fighting with a Winter Lord or something for a while prior to your team starting.
Which means it was likely either a despawn or a bug. Did he suddenly seem to drop an inordinate amount of hit points at the end?

Then I'd petition it as a bug. Hands down.

I'd have to double-check but I'm pretty sure that it reports despawns as "defeats" in the chat window using the last person who dealt damage as the final hit. It doesn't rule out a bug, but if you didn't get any experience, inf, or anything else I'm leaning towards the timed despawn.
Petition anyway, though. Worst case scenario is that you're in the same position you're in now.

It sounds like you were on a team, so this wouldn't matter. Your TEAM needs to inflict at least 10% of the damage to kill him. Of course, if you're solo, you're a team of one.

By the way, that also appears when he despawns. The nature of the game is that if something despawns the last person to get a hit will have that message. This will not result in a badge.|

Edit:
Also there is the 10% total damage, if you didn't do at least 10% damage. That is, if he was attacked and then left alone several times, it is possible to not get the badge even if it appeared that you did 100% of his health. This frequently happens with the Jack/Eochai fight in north Croatoa.

Was on a team about two weeks ago that saw him while were were doing a SF, so we jumped him, beat him down to about 5% health, then he despawned and no one got the badge. He's either on a timer, or he just likes to give the players the bird now and then.

Others appear to believe this is not the cause of the issue, however I am not so sure - when the team leadership changes, does the game reset the damage counter, in-effect counting each of those shifts as a brand new team? if so, that could explain it, if the last interation of said team did not clear 10% of total damage

@Mistress Rue
Yes, I RP and play Redside on Virtue - No, Rumors of its demise have been greatly exaggerated
Do you suck at COH/COV? not yet...
No, the game tracks the damage done per character until defeat/despawn/suicide...when on a team, all teammates' damage dealt is applied to each character - I have tested this by being on a team until just before defeat and quit team...still got the badge

Came back a bit later and got him.

You'll get this message whether he's defeated or despawns. I've gotten this on several toons I was testing against him, in situations where I know beyond doubt that he despawned. Namely, when I'm 'soloing' him, but don't have the damage or -regen to actually defeat him, and he abruptly goes from nearly 100% health to 0%.

GoS is also irritatingly prone to bum-rushing drones when he starts losing. Any more, I don't even bother fighting him when he's down near the market. He and Deathsurge love to 'KS' themselves...

Recruited a team on Sharkhead Isle and defeated the Ghost of Scrapyarder. But, did not receive the Hammer Down badge (http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Hammer_Down_Badge). (Neither did others on the team. One team member indicated he did not receive any XP.) Don't know why not?

Did my character not do enough damage to the giant monster to earn the badge? I was playing a mastermind, and my robots did damage while I healed and debuffed.
I had not talked with Crimson Revenant (http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Crimson_Revenant) prior to defeating the Ghost of Scrapyarder. Did I need to talk to CR first?
Or was it a bug?
