I like it. I don't want it as much as a Scorponok kit though. I'd be down if Hasbro just repainted the Energon mold into a better G1 homage too. I gots dreams.

considering 90% of Energon was homages, I'm really very surprised (and disappointed) Hasbro didn't just knock out a quick green and purple version of the guy. There's still Generations, maybe, but it does seem unlikely now. It's quite sad there's a Double Punch coloured version of the mold out there but not a g1 Scorponok one.

It is MINE! :BOWDOWN:

I have been waiting on something like this... I so hope it gets made!

It might be a little expensive but swapping out the arms and legs of the energon (green) version with double punch's could give you a somewhat G1 looking color scheme.

it's only be a teeny tiny smidgen expensive, and still wouldn't look right. I'd be more likely, which is to say, not very likely at all, to commission a repaint of the slightly cheaper normal Energon version.

It -does- look nice, but I'm holding my breath for an actual city-former. Something that stands an inch or two taller than TFC Not-Devastator, perhaps. I'm sure they'll get around to it eventually once all the combiners are done.

Seriously, stuff like this and Maketoys Giant are the only reasons I still care about this hobby! Even more than half of this years Botcon set was disappointing (Octopunch, Kick Off, Metalhawk, and surprisingly enough Spinister were the only ones worth it in my opinion) and the only Asia exclusive to peak my interest was Wheelie. If it weren't for the MP's I wouldn't be buying anything official this entire year!

I've bought some hasbro stuff... but I've also bought a lot more third-party stuff. Heck, overall I've bought more MLP stuff than 'official' TF toys.

Agreed. The only official figures i've bought this year are Prime Wheeljack, Dead End and a Botcon Spinister (the best figure of the bunch next too Kick Off, IMO)
