Chances for G1 Scorponok reissue?

After Fort Max has been confirmed to be reissued, is anything possible when it comes to reissued figures? I just want some opinions, as I am contemplating buying a G1 Scorponok, but if it will be most likely reissued for a more reasonable price than an original, I think I will hold out.

Also, to those of you who have both Scorponok and the recently released Xovergen Trailerforce, how do they look next to each other in robot mode?

I don't really have much to base this on, but if I had to guess, my guess would be that if G1 Scorponok gets a reissue, it will be a Japan-only Takara release and will cost $100 or more to get in the U.S. I would say the chances of a Hasbro reissue are slim to none.

If this is something you want, get it now; don't wait for a reissue that probably isn't coming.

I agree, although I'm really really really hoping for a reissue. Why? I want to own a Black Zarak that won't fall apart on me! :lol:
Top 5 Priorities:

1) BW Neo X-7 Elphaorpha
2) BW II VS-18 Powerhug vs. Autocrusher
3) Universe 2003 Night Slash Cheetor
4) RiD Landfill (regular, not the yellow)
5) BW Convobat (red) & Megalligator (purple)

Also looking for Arms Microns, especially Shadow (Gora & R.A.), Hellflame and Shining (O.P. and R.A.).

Preparing to move to the US!

Well, given Hasbro took the time to keep the trademark on 'Scorponok' last year, it's possible they have plans to get a figure of him out somewhere. They won't be reissuing the G1 toy, but they might be planning a new mold for Generations given their current plans to tie figures in with IDW comics.

I dont see why not, Rod.
Having said that, has the asking price for Fort dropped significantly since the reissue was announced? If it has, it may be worth waiting.

While I know you don't need to be told ... shop around. Keep an eye out for a good price. Try to get him complete.

I grabbed a Scorponok with Zarak, missing most other pieces. I was happy with that because I thought it would be a fun project tracking down all the parts.

Well ... that was a stupid idea as finding parts for him are not only difficult, they're also expensive. I'm currently missing one of the orange hand guns off his little buddy because last I checked they were going for around $30.

Yeah ... $30 for a little plastic gun that's about an inch long.

I'd rather have an Energion Scorponok.
